    Summary

    “He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.

    She looked up then.

    “I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”

    “What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.

    “There will be a reckoning in Aman."

    ----------

    A tale following our favorite fated pair from the beginning of the Fourth Age to beyond the Dagor Dagorath.

    Summary

    The voices were quieting down, and I barely dared to breathe. Though I only caught a glimpse of the scenery, there were definitely trees. I did not fall asleep in a forest. Nor is there greenery painted anywhere on my walls?
    Any air I tried to keep in my lungs was being pushed out by the weight of the reality dawning upon me.

    I’m in fucking middle-earth. Arda. The land of Tolkien.

     

    Or,
    Fix-it, Middle-Earth style and your usual modern girl in middle-earth
    Because nobody deserved to die in this story.

    Summary

    No, seriously, you need to read part one

    While the Valar were figuring out how to read a calendar, Freya did the math. She got to review the homework before taking the test this time, which was nice, but that made the most likely endgame obvious. She knew from the second she offered to do it that reverse fetch-questing an evil ring was going to be rough. She was trying anyway. Because she was very, very stupid.

    She expected to pay a high price for the chance to stay.
    She didn’t expect there to be an extra cost at the end.
    Or for them to both pay it.
    Or to be asked for more.

    Summary

    Blah blah boring old MGiME fic who cares

    So anyways yeah ignore that- basically some 15 year old hermit is really lost. Like astronomically lost. Like can’t find her way back to her own world lost.

    What if the first of the Edain was discovered before the year 310 of the first age? Scraping by an existence in a treehouse in the mountains? And is very much unwilling to leave said treehouse?

    Long story short- shit hits the fan INCREDIBLY quickly and poor Sonja is thrust into a world of utmost peril and grievance that she did not sign up for.

    How long will she last in this land of darkness and destruction before some real sad shit happens?

    (Hint: not particularly long)

    Summary

    “So we know we cannot drown it,” Edmund says, his words sticking in his throat; thirty pairs of eyes fly to him, but he refuses to be drawn away from his point. He has plenty of practice holding his own in council chambers too old for him. “We know we can’t drown it, and you say we can’t keep it – can’t use its power for our own benefit. What do we know, then? How can it be destroyed?”

    “Finally,” Greyhame flings his hand Edmund’s direction, “The right questions.”

    ***

    A chance discovery on a remote hill in Dorset leads the four Pevensie siblings, now all grown up, into Middle-Earth. But as they come together to Rivendell, each with their own cross to bear, will they be able to discover what has brought them here, and fulfill their quest without the world falling to darkness?

    Summary

    Laying on his death bed, in the last homely home of the elves, the Valar visit Bilbo. Something went wrong, Frodo and Sam failed their task. Bilbo has been charged with going back, back to the very beginning. He is being sent back to his twenty fifth year of age.

    OR

    Bilbo: dies, time-travels, becomes Mandos’ favorite, pranks half of Rivendell, turns pirate, saves the Nazgûl, and learns combat from Glorfindel.
    Gandalf: “What do you mean Belladonna isn’t dead?”
    Thorin: “Why is our hobbit terrifying and why is that attractive?”
    Nori: “Honey, I’m home!”

    A fix-it where Bilbo is competent and everyone else is confused.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, in the last days of his life, departed Middle-earth bound for the blessed realm. Until the Valar intervene, offering him a chance to change history. He sets out to save the line of Durin and to prevent the ring from ever going to Frodo...but the Ring of Power has a will of its own, and its power is not one to be lightly thrown aside.
    ----
    Another Battle of Five Armies fix-it, because we can never have too many stories where there is more to their story than death and grief. Though in this case, there is still some lingering grief. This timeline will be a mash-up of the book and movies, along with some lore and events from the later trilogy (LOTR), and assorted other Tolkien lore taken from various essays, works, and one very entertaining interview between Richard Armitage (Thorin) and Martin Freeman (Bilbo). Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

    Summary

    After the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo returns to Bag End, trying to convince himself that is best - for him and the dwarrow.
    What he does not know, however, is that two certain Valar had kept an eye on both him and Thorin ever since they met each other in Bilbo's smial.
    And what he doesn't know either, is that while Valar can be rather patient beings, their patience is brought to an end when year by year goes by, until Bilbo has been back 'home' for a whole decade. Which is why, for the first time in ages, the 'no-intervention-policy' is thrown out of the window.

    Summary

    She’s read the books. Watched the films. She knows how this story ends. Burdened with memories of a future that hasn’t happened yet, Katherine tries to keep her head down and her heart guarded, swearing not to interfere. But nothing could prepare her for the real Middle-earth—nor for the people she'd come to care for. Especially not the brave, infuriating dwarf prince who makes her forget that she's supposed to be careful in the first place.

    When a growing darkness begins to take notice of her and threatens to hunt her down, the choices become clear: run, or become something more dangerous than the story ever allowed.

    (or: a story about grief, slaying a dragon, and falling in love when you're not sure you were meant to exist here at all)

    Summary

    When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.

    When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.

    Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.

    Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.
