    Summary

    Valinor was every bit as beautiful as the songs promised.

    Its streets glittered with the dust of diamonds, gleaming under the radiant light of a sun that shone brighter, purer over the hallowed lands than it ever had over Middle-earth. The peaks of the Pelori, soaring and snowcapped, loomed pristine in the distance, mocking her with every glimpse. These were not mountains that had ever known the tread of an orc's foot, nor suffered spilt blood or harrowed screams. Even the sands of Eldamar were white and silken underfoot, nothing like the abrading grit of the beaches of Belfalas where her mother had once reigned.

    Celebrían hated it.

    "Gather your strength, Daeron. I will get you to the Ford of Bruinen.”
    “Will you swear it, kinslayer?” Daeron asked, voice heavy with irony and with something else Maglor couldn’t quite identify.
    He paused for a moment. Then he said, “Yes.”

    Summary

    Boromir attends the Council of Elrond in Rivendell and becomes part of the Fellowship of the Ring. At least, that is the story as we know it.

    But what happens when Boromir brings his younger sister along to the Council? And what happens when Silwen, the princess of Gondor, who is known for her gentle spirit and healing hands, is chosen as the tenth and final member of the Fellowship?

    Alongside her brother and the other, more or less joyful, companions—including a handsome and intriguing elf named Legolas—Silwen embarks on a perilous journey that will test everything she once believed about herself.

    This is an adventure of loss, resilience, redemption, and most importantly; of love.

    Summary

    The West loses the War of the Ring and the proud city of Minas Tirith falls to the forces of the Dark Lord. In these days of darkness and fear, two young maidens, twins Elfhild and Elffled, are captured by orcs in a preliminary raid against Rohan. Herded off with other captives, the sisters know little of their destination, only that they are being driven ever East towards Mordor, the dreadful land of horror and shadows. Their world destroyed, their fate uncertain, they face the bleak prospects of slavery at the hands of their enemies.

    The armies of Mordor, driven ceaselessly by their masters, march ever onward towards the West. The Dark Lord Sauron sits upon his black throne, eagerly anticipating the final victory as he watches history unfold through the palantir.

    With Gondor fallen, will Rohan be conquered at last... and then the rest of Middle-earth?

    Summary

    The West was defeated at the Battle of Pelennor Fields and the war swept over Southern Gondor. To the dismay of all the Free People of Middle-earth, the Dark Lord Sauron regained the One Ring, His rising power threatening to plunge the world into a Second Darkness.

    In the midst of this, two young maidens, twins Elfhild and Elffled, are captured by orcs in a preliminary raid against Rohan. Their world destroyed, their fate uncertain, they face the bleak prospects of slavery in the lands of their enemies.

    The Witch-king of Angmar and his fellows struggle and suffer to serve a mad God who both loves them and seeks to destroy them. In truth, they are no more fortunate than Elfhild and Elffled, for they, too, are in bondage, locked in a silent war for freedom.

    The Dark Lord Sauron, a victim of His own lusts, wishes to possess Arda and encompass it in His twisted love. He craves the worship and adoration of all mankind, but His thirst for total dominion of mind and soul twists and perverts all His designs.

    A tale of peasants and Powers; of masters and slaves; freedom and bondage; of adventure, mystery and intrigue; of wars and bloodshed; of love and loss; of spirits and magic and the unquiet dead.

    Summary

    *Edited 3/15 for small mistakes/formatting issues in uploading

    For Elrohir it was love at first sight. He had found his soulmate. Everything was perfect and they were so happy in love. Why then was he now suffering of a heart turned to ice? When his lover walks away with no word, no goodbye, Elrohir struggles with how he will go on. The world around him is becoming frozen and cold and some things just don't make sense. Can he come to terms with all that has happened before all is lost? Not everything is necessarily as it appears to be. A story of love found, love lost, betrayal and the question if a frozen heart can be melted.

      Bookmark Notes:

      He remembered playing with the jewels inside as a child. He hadn’t realized then how paltry they were for a princess of the elves; how even the jewels worn to war by a host of Aman would outweigh them.

      But he knew the story behind each piece, and they had been given with love, nonetheless.

      There were rocks in there too, and those he did not remember; he looked up at Elros questioningly.

      They were interesting rocks; some brightly colored, some strangely shaped, some gleaming with hints of quartz or crystal. Elros seemed faintly embarrassed by them.

      “I used to give them to Maglor when I thought he was angry,” he admitted. “I knew they wanted the Silmaril most, but I suppose I hoped any rock might help. I realized eventually. I hadn’t thought he’d kept them, though. I never actually opened the box when he gave it back.”

      Elrond remembered that habit of Elros’s now. He’d thought at the time it was to cheer Maglor up; Elros had kept his own rock collection in Sirion that he’d treasured, and Elrond had more than once presented a pretty one to cheer him out a sulk back then.

      “I thought you should have them now,” Elros said. “Since you’ll see Emel again one day, and I won’t. You can give them back to her.”

      There was something very strange in Elros’s voice as he said this. Elrond did not quite dare question it. He focused instead on quietly sorting out the rocks he remembered Elros giving Maglor from the ones he didn't; those memories he thought he could risk asking for, and he should, before - Before.

      Elros shrugged. “Or you can see if Maglor will take them back if you can find him again. Your choice.”

      Elrond looked at the tiny necklace his mother had worn as she ran out of Doriath. “That would be an interesting choice to explain to her someday.”

      For a rare moment, Elros’s voice turned to steel. “That would be fair,” he said. “As she has a rather interesting choice to explain to you.”
