    Summary

    Maedhros saga, with main focus on Maedhros' life in Beleriand but spanning all the way from the Time of the Trees almost to the end of Arda.
    The series is Maedhros/Fingon and the development of their relationship is one of the main interests of the saga, but other stories in the series look at Maedhros's interactions with his brothers, uncles, cousins, friends--basically whoever he is known or can be assumed to have interacted with.
    The series spans different genres and the stories can differ widely in mood, rating, etc.

    Summary

    After a celebration in Tavrobel in the famous House of a Hundred Chimneys, Gilfanon, one of the oldest of the Elves, proposes that he, Glorfindel, and Elrond journey to the fabled Rock of Omar in the middle of the great desert of Valinor, where it is said that the Rock sings the echoes of the Ainulindalë and of lost life and love. Glorfindel procures a fabulous coach with most unusual beasts to draw it, and so the three fellows set off for an adventure in the desert where they meet Teleri who have embraced the desert and encounter a cagey Vanyarin ascetic who guides them to the Rock of Omar.

    Winner, First Place, Adventure, MEFA 2010

    Written for the Probably AU GenFic Swap.  Prompts were "Elrond" (Lackam/Amber) and "a desert in Valinor" (Darth Fingon).

    Rated PG-13 for substance abuse; those with arachnophobia are strongly cautioned that creatures of the eight-legged variety make pivotal appearances in this story. References pertaining to obscure canon characters may be found in End Notes.

    Summary


    ~ Lúthien was not the only offspring of Maia and Elf born in the Elder Days, but Vanimórë's tale was never to be sung in glittering halls.

    His mother was Elven.
    His father was Sauron.
    His birth was accomplished by the blackest sorcery of Morgoth Bauglir.

    He was forged as a double-edged sword is forged, as lethal and as beautiful.
    And they tested him to breaking-point.

    He would not break.

     

    "Until the sky breaks and the mountains fall into the Great Sea, and the End cometh, there is no world for us." ~ Vanimórë Gorthaurion.

     

    The first of the Dark Prince series, the story of Sauron's son, born to be a weapon, a warrior, a servant of the Dark - or its eternal enemy. ~

    First Age to the War of the Ring.

    Summary

    Ichigo’s been ordered to go undercover at a magic school to bodyguard a kid named Harry Potter, and this would be fine, except that he’s about as good at bodyguarding as he is at magic. And he considers it a good day, magic-wise, if he hasn’t set anything on fire.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A seriously awesome and hilariously funny crossover of Bleach and Harry Potter. A must read.
