The Tides of War Extended Universe by Minubell
Fandom The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
27 May 2025
Summary
A collection of stories taking place in Middle Earth, written primarily from the perspective of the villains (Mairon and the Nazgul). These stories often paint Mairon and the Nine as sympathetic characters. There are no significant deviations from the canon timeline of the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion, unlike some of my other series. Most stories in this collection are humorous in nature although some may dip into angst. Stories are arranged in chronological order.
Please note that while I use the names of (most) Nazgul from MERP, I have changed literally everything else about them. Please don't expect the MERP backgrounds for the Nazgul!
--Additional stories can be requested on my tumblr! You can follow me there for sooner updates or to find additional information about the series including art and non-story lore.
Current update schedule:
About every week, depending on requests.- Words:

Summary
Canon divergence: Maeglin and Aredhel escaped to Himlad and never went to Gondolin. During the Dagor Bragollach, Maeglin fled to Nargothrond with Celegorm and Curufin. Now the Fëanorians have been exiled, and Maeglin remains in Orodreth’s kingdom.
Enter: Túrin Turambar, with a doom from his father and a sentient sword that is very familiar to Maeglin. It needs reforging—and who better to do that than the son of its maker?

Summary
Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2022, Art # 51.
It was the tenth year since the end of the War of Wrath. The tenth year of the civil war that had followed it.
O Elbereth! Sing now the rage of the sons of Fëanor,
Dark and murderous, that cost the Noldor
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into the dark halls of Mandos
And left their bodies turn to ashes and bones
Cursed and forsaken, as Manwë’s will was done.
Beginning with the clash between the Dark Vala –
Melkor, the Black Foe – and Fëanor the fire-spirit.A story of Maglor and Daeron, of siege and of plague, of Celebrimbor’s lonely forge and Círdan’s iron will, of music, and perhaps, of redemption.

Summary
In Treelight, he and Artanis had walked the beaches of Elendë, the white sand soft beneath bare toes as she splashed in the shallows and demanded he name every sea star. Upon the ragged new shores of this eastern land, they wore stout boots, for they were all torn rock and silt, and the waters colder than the Bay of Eldamar. And Artanis was Galadriel now, and if her name was softer, it was all of her that was.
