Summary
♫♪ I don't care where you've been, how many miles, I still love you. ♫♪
Bob doesn't always know what to say, but he can do his best. So he launches the blanket up in the air and sinks down, letting the duvet settle over them like a shield. Something he used to do when he was a kid, a way to stave off the shouting, the bangs and crashes.
"What are you doing?" Bucky rumbles, but he stays put even as Bob scoots forward so their legs are pressed up against each other.
"This is a magical blanket," He says, the same words he would say to himself as a boy, "Nothing bad can get in."
~ Or the one in which a single conversation about lava lamps makes all the difference in the world.

Summary
To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.
Chapter titles reference the associated in-game quest.

Summary
“You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”
Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.
“I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”

Between the battles, Henry and Hans find time to talk, touch, and live.Series

Summary
Nobody talks much about the Noldor family anymore. Like saying any of their names aloud will bring their misfortune down upon the speaker: a lesson to be learned, a warning to be issued, a curse to be conjured.
The land where their farm once stood lies barren. It’s a desolate patch of scorched earth where even heartiest prairie grasses no longer wish to grow.
When anyone does dare to speak of them, they do so in hushed tones, furtive whispers behind closed doors and only in trusted company. The conversation is always the same: "Terrible, terrible business… Just goes to show, it’s dangerous living so far away from civilized life… Although… What if he was telling the truth… They never did find the body…"

Summary
Mairon is in charge of the uruk creation program. Eldar have proven resistant to captive breeding, so Melkor allows Mairon to bring in one additional male* as a last-ditch effort, and Mairon tries things a little differently with this one. Mairon runs Angband on sexual tension because his favorite method of influence is seduction.
*who will eventually be known as Adar
This is planned to be a long-form fic that covers Adar’s full experience in Angband with Mairon, Melkor, and the other Moriondor, through Melkor’s fall, the Durnost project, the coup, the exodus to the Southlands/Mordor, both seasons of RoP (with a fix-it) and possibly beyond.
The smut is VERY explicit in sensory terms. Includes or will eventually include M/M, M/F, M/M/F, Angbang, Maidar, and an OC who is very much a (hopefully well-executed) self-ship.

Summary
“You really should consider changing that name,” Eonwe comments with a thoughtful frown. “Nazgul. It hardly goes with your… current status.”
“Jailed?” Mairon asks, eyes flickering to Eonwe even as the rest of him does not move. He remains still, almost deathly so, not permitting a single muscle in his body to move.
“Reformed, Mairon, please.”
—
A Fourth Age What-If story where Mairon is captured some time after his defeat at the end of the Third Age and imprisoned within a tower in Valinor. The only problem is that even after his sentence is officially served, he refuses to come down. NOT 'canon' to the Tides of War series.

Summary
He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.
“When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”
“For violence and depravity?” she shot back.
“For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”
Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

Summary
Celebrimbor could not heal in the Halls of Mandos. Now reembodied, he is willing to do whatever it takes to find peace - even if that means becoming master to the recently-defeated Sauron.
Being served by a Maia proves far more complicated than he initially anticipated.

Summary
“I asked for a handsome reward in exchange for Finrod Felagund’s life,” the man called out across the distance. He was tall, though not as tall as her brother, and dressed in swathes of black and grey, a loose hood shielding most of his face and hair from sight. “What do you bring me in exchange for him?”
“Galadriel, no—” Finrod began, but Galadriel cut him off.
“—Myself,” she answered his call, though it did not sound as assuring out loud as it had sounded to her before she left her home to make this perilous journey to come save her brother.
The black-robed figure chuckled in response. It started low, but it reached the distance all the way toward her. He grasped Finrod by the neck of his tunic, yanking him back. “What would I do with you?” he threw back at her. “You’re hardly a fair exchange for the warrior I hold in my grasp.”
During the First Age, the War of Wrath changes course. On the island of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves and one of Sauron’s former strongholds, is the seat of the Necromancer’s power. Instead of sending his wolves out to kill Finrod after capturing Felagund in his dungeons, Sauron demands an exchange for his life. Galadriel offers herself.

Summary
In spite of most people, Fakir knew what the dream meant. His foster father had told him when he was very young. His friend, Mytho was the prince from a story, written by a man named Drosselmeyer. This man had the power to write stories that continued after his death, but the characters got tired of their battle and they escaped from the pages of the story. The prince ended the battle by taking out his own heart to seal the raven away. With a shattered heart scattered away, the prince had forgotten who he was lost all his emotions. Fakir, being the reincarnation of the prince's loyal friend and servant had found him again when he was just a child. At first he tackled along, being the young boy that he was, but Mytho's lack of emotions caused him to do really reckless things and so Fakir vowed to protect him. This time he would protect Mytho.... or should he change his written role?
This is the original show, written from Fakir's POV and it will dive deeper into his side of the story.

Summary
When he falls to his knees, it is not in some lofty haven-peak, but deep and dark beneath the earth, carved out by the unholy powers of Udûn’s Master. When he enters, there is no light that greets him as above with sparkling radiance, no holy theme plucked from golden lyre. When he trails the labyrinthine halls the only light is his own, and it flickers along the facets of mirrored obsidian, illuminating his steep decent.

“Where have you taken me, Elendil?” she demanded, for she had grown tired of waiting, her patience drawing ever so thin.
Her guardsman’s hesitant breaths echoed in her ears, his throat dry as he cleared his throat. “I understand your impatience, Your Majesty, but all will be revealed in due course.”

OR: A few days have passed since the marking of Míriel’s name day and Elendil still has not wished her happiness nor granted her with a gift. To her displeasure she believes he has forgotten, but when she is awakened early in the morning by her lady’s maid with a strange request to meet him at the stables, she cannot help but feel curious...
