    Summary

    You were fair and witty and mighty. A forge-fire of life that did not burn but instead tempered, whose hands were calloused from craft yet gentle in touch, whose heart had beat fiercely and still loved tenderly. You were a brilliance of light to Lindon, standing alongside the High King.

    But if meeting you had brought out the best in Gil-Galad, then losing you brought out the worst.

     

    or: You fall at the Battle of Eregion. Lindon grieves their High Queen; Gil-Galad grieves his wife.

    or: You haunt the narrative.

    Summary

    Two friends, a forest at night, and something watching from the shadows.

    He pushed himself up groggily, the heavy throb of his ankle making itself known - breath hitching as recollection returned.

    “Elrond?” he rasped, aching for water. He licked cracked lips and swallowed with difficulty.

    Was he alone?

    Summary

    What were initially 2 separate modern drabbles for Haladriel Fluff Week has turned into this mini story, albeit one that is occurring slightly out of order.

    We follow Galadriel and Halbrand's relationship through 5 moments that are fluffy and angsty, but ultimately fluffy. We see one of their early dates, before moving ahead to a time when they are apart in their relationship and looking to be even further apart, then to a moment years later when Galadriel is in desperate need of Halbrand’s support, before going back in time to when Halbrand first laid eyes on Galadriel, before jumping forward into the future again, finishing on the dance floor at a wedding (I’m not saying whose).

    After a comment on Bluesky that my prompts for Day 1 and 3 could be from the same university, I decided to throw caution to the wind and lean into it and created this. Title is from Fortress by Bear's Den, thanks to Z for introducing me to this amazing song.

    Enjoy!

    Summary

    When Elrond must make the decision to save his own people by betraying the Dwarves, or remain loyal to Durin, he takes matters into his own hands and casts the Mithril into the sea, hoping to stop potential bloodshed. Unfortunately for Elrond, this gets him exiled by the Elves and made an enemy of the Dwarves.

    A year later, Elrond does not regret his decisions. Still, loneliness eats away at him and pushes him to the brink of despair, causing him to attempt the unthinkable.

    Yet, Elrond is saved by an unlikely creature and granted a new chance at life. A chance to live life for himself as a new elf.

    /

    When Elrond’s loneliness and pain causes him to attempt to drown himself, he is rescued by an unexpected ally who gives him a different outlook on the new life he is given.

    Summary

    My own take, with original characters and the reinsertion of Celebrían and Celeborn, of RoP Seasons 1 and 2. Wouldn't recommend reading if you get worked up about changes to the source material. I certainly won't aim to warp anything in terms of how the world works, but if you care about conserving pairings and such-maybe pass on this one.
    If you DO like romance and loyalty and found family dynamics (and a lot of soft Elrond), give it a try :)
    (Also I am notorious for starting stuff and writing like 60k words over a few months and then fading away, shoot me, enjoy it while you can :D)

    Summary

    What she’s thinking of instead is that something’s all too familiar in what Elrond isn’t saying, that glint of something below the surface when he mentioned Maedhros, when he spoke of family. She knows it well; very well indeed.

    She does, she thinks, still want to know more of it from Elrond, and not for her father-in-law’s diplomatic negotiations or her husband’s wounded friendship but for something far more simple and raw in herself: a sorrow that recognises its mirror, an understanding shared.

    Disa, Durin, and why Elrond never went to their wedding.

    Summary

    In desperation, Durin asks Elrond to take possession of the Dwarven rings in order to stop him succumbing to temptation. This is only the beginning of their problems.
    “I ask it because it can only be you,” Durin said. “Who else would love me so much that he would deny me the remedy to my ills? It can only be you, Elrond.”

    Summary

    Akin to the land elves, the water elves—also known as the sea folk—were blessed by Eru, created by Ulmo, master of the oceans. Sirens are the very beings most intrinsically connected to the magic that fuels all of Middle-Earth. Beacons of magic. Beacons of light and power.

    Sauron, having been defeated for long centuries, is in need of vast amounts of magic to absorb.

    And, fate seems to be on his side.

    OR: A Mermaid!Galadriel x Dark Lord!Sauron AU.

    Summary

    Cartan, a simple miner of Khazad-dum, is going about his job and enjoying the monotony when a strange figure falls out of the cave he is digging in. It's an elf, apparently, and one who has done many horrible things. But now, it seems that the poor sod just wants to be left alone. Enter: Cartan's little sister, Lathan, who would like to show this stranger her rock collection.

    Or:

    Maedhros thought he was dead. He really wanted to be dead, too, but this little dwarf girl just keeps showing him pretty rocks, and if he went to any of the elven kingdoms, he knew that his death would likely be worse that his first attempt. So. Staying with wit the dwarves, it is.

    Summary

    Elrond visits Durin at Khazad-dûm following the battle of Eregion. The pair haven't seen each other since Elrond came to ask for Durin's support before the battle, and the two of them have experienced their fair share of grief since then. Their friendship is due another difficult conversation, this time fuelled by insomnia and a few glasses of Durin's favourite mead.

    Summary

    It wasn’t his first battle and likely wouldn’t be his last. It didn’t matter. War never became any easier, and it would take him an age to be unfeeling enough to bear it.

    Or, on the battlefield, Elrond waits.
