Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
After an Orc incursion leaves Finrod wounded, he finds himself in close quarters with Curufin, who is pursuing an agenda of his own. A Sultry in September 2013 fic, written for ParadifeLoft.
An explorative response to the question "why didn't Curufin ever make Maedhros a mechanical hand"?
A pair of Maedhros x Fingon vignettes from Fingon's perspective, the first focussing on Maedhros' recovery from Thangorodrim, the second in Valinor in the distant future.
Shortly after the kinslaying at Alqualondë, Finarfin finds his nephew Fingon on the beach. Always the peacekeepers in their tumultuous family, both must choose where their loyalties lie in times to come.
A collection of unrelated drabbles and ficlets too short to post on their own. Each story has a separate rating and all are under a thousand words.
Newest story: Chapter 48: Aulë, Finarfin, and Maglor's ignored return to Aman. Crackfic. Rated General. Ficlet.
A piece of somewhat AU Maglor insanity; dark.
"And it came to pass that Tar-Palantir grew weary of grief and died. He had no son, but a daughter only, whom he named Míriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. But Pharazôn took her to wife against her will..." (The Akallabeth)
A story for B2MeM 2013, combining the prompts for archetypes, good and ill, and back to lands you once did know (days one, two and four respectively):
Maglor's wife, a Sinda of Mithrim, learns about the events of Alqualondë, and confronts her husband about his actions, differing beliefs, and the future.
50 Prompts resulting in 50 AU Silmarillion based or related drabbles or ficlets.
With the males of the court all away at the annual King’s Hunt, Helyanwë and her grandmother Nerdanel leave the household compound on a quest of their own. Story written for the Bechdel Challenge – two women in an action/adventure story carrying on at least one conversation that doesn’t revolve around a male.
In the wake of Alqualondë and Finarfin's departure, Fëanor shores up power and Finrod must prove his loyalty.
Fingon and Maedhros, in space and what they did there.
Nellas's fate after the Fall of Doriath.
The paths of Nellas and Maglor cross, by the sea.
To die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier.
Fingon and Maedhros, in a different war. AU, certainly.
A brief glimpse into the moments before Gil-galad's combat with Sauron.
Regarding the siege of Utumno by Valinor, as seen from various characters’ viewpoints.
(Very well. As seen mostly from the dark vantage. It’s me we’re talking about here..)
Assembled responses to Tolkien Weekly’s “Natural Disasters” drabble challenge (Apr-May 2012).
Maedhros/Fingon. A supernatural double drabble. Warnings for slash and canon character death.
The kinslaying at Doriath from different perspectives. After the battle, two children are lost, two hearts are broken, two people are at fault.
Maglor is in the British trenches in WW1, and he gets to meet a certain young officer with a liking for ancient mythology.
Nerdanel is plagued by a nightmare, can Irmo’s wisdom shed a light on it?
A collection of Elleth's 2012 B2MeM Bingo fics. Individual summaries (and warnings, if necessary) are provided in the chapter notes.
Idhreniel shares the secret of the stars beyond Varda's creation, and recounts some of the fallen.
The evil servants of Celegorm reflect on their deeds at Doriath.
