    Summary

    Fingon smiled. “If I confessed to how often I thought about bedding you, you would accuse me of intemperance.”

    This was true, thought Fingon disliked being facetious. He shifted foot to foot. If he thought too long about last night, and bringing Maedhros to heel by force, it brought on a queasy, intoxicating hunger.

    (Maedhros is healed in Mithrim, and Fingon discovers they share some new inclinations)

    Summary

    Perhaps the strangest thing in his grandson’s war camp was Gwindor.

    The former thrall of Angband, missing both a pinky and an eye, was the first thing anyone noticed when they approached the young High King. He stood at Gil-Galad’s right hand, the head of the king’s personal guard, a presence as steady as the steel at his hip. There was nothing ceremonial in the way he carried himself, no courtly bow, no polished armor. He looked like a man who had walked through fire and come out the other side knowing exactly how much of him the flames had taken.

    28 Jun 2020

    Summary

    Anna knows something strange is going on when she starts having odd dreams of a far too detailed city, far too often. They are important, part of her acknowledges that, but really, she was never expecting for them to become her reality. Stranded in a time far too different to what she remembers, Anna struggles against her elusive memories of her name, the actions she took in the past, and her rather unfortunate luck.

    Otherwise known as:

    The traditional modern-girl-in-middle-earth, with a slight twist.

    Summary

    Maedhros comes riding into Hithlum on a fine spring afternoon, and Fingon is there to meet him. The months that separated them have only increased Maedhros’ heartsickness, and he cherishes Fingon’s presence.

    There should be no reason for Fingon to make a move on him, but he does, and when Fingon kisses him, Maedhros’ world changes in a split second. They talk, and they bask in one another’s presence. Things are better than ever. Unfortunately, fate decides to throw a wrench in the middle of their innocent reunion.
    *

    Fingon’s eyes were curious, dark and beautiful as ever. Maedhros tilted his head. Fingon paused, hesitating, and came closer. His eyes fluttered closed. Maedhros broached the distance between them.

    Summary

    The loose sleeves of her nightdress bared her wrists, wherein her pulse raced. She was not unconscious of how Sauron – in the physical form of a Man – was drawn to these slight glimpses of her pale, bare skin. Her hands and wrists, feet and ankles. The line of her neck beneath her golden waterfall of hair. She had in nothing but the body she’d been born with the power to distract him, this great, dark being who was responsible for the slaying of thousands. Sauron couldn’t keep his eyes from straying here and there. There was a pit low in her belly that yawned and yearned at this knowledge, and for a moment, Galadriel felt her heart beat faster. She wondered if his senses were keen enough to notice.

    The war against Morgoth is beginning to go poorly for the Elves, so Galadriel sets out to seduce their enemy's most powerful general. It turns out that Sauron is very easy to seduce.

    Summary

    In an act of revenge, Morgoth cursed Galadriel, muse of the Silmarils, and by proxy, the entire kingdom of Doriath. She and all who remained in the castle fell into a deep sleep. But upon Morgoth’s defeat, the Elves know not how to break the curse. Desperate, Prince Celeborn, her betrothed, seeks Sauron, a powerful sorcerer now said to be penitent and performing good deeds, for nothing else the prince has tried will wake the Lady Galadriel from her endless slumber. Sauron offers aid, as he knows how the curse is broken.

    . . . And the price is more than just a kiss.

    Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: a tale inspired by The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty with Galadriel as Beauty and Sauron as the one to break the curse Morgoth has lain upon her.

    Summary

    He asked me to explain it. But how can one explain what the Silmarils were to the followers of the Fëanorions? Elrond, for all his love for Maglor, had never been a Fëanorion. How could I put into words the obsession turned worship? The Silmarils had risen to godhood in our eyes. They were the justification for our every deed, the reason we’d suffered so much. They were what made the deaths worth something. They were the light we fixed our eyes to in desolation. They were the things we cursed and blessed, bled for, hoped for, and killed for.

    “Half-cousins aren’t a real thing,” Maglor said. “That’s just a term Father and his siblings made up to make themselves feel better about us cousins not knowing each other until we were nearly grown.”

    Summary

    Eärendil’s failure was not that he loved them too little. It was that he didn’t turn the ship around, dive straight into the sea, anything but go on with the mission the moment Elwing told him their boys might not be dead. It would have been better to die trying to get back to them, then live though what came after.

    This is Eärendil’s story.
