Summary
It is the autumn of 1812. The UK is going into lockdown. Panic not seen since the Battle of Trafalgar is sweeping the country. But this time, the enemy is not Napoleon. The enemy is unseen, deadly, and swift. It is COVID-19.
Meanwhile, in a quiet corner of Hertfordshire, coronavirus wreaks havoc with people's lives. Will the Bennet family come together in the face of disaster, or will sanctimonious Mr Collins and scheming Mr Wickham tear them apart? Will Jane Bennet and Mr Bingley's love stand the test of life-threatening illness and a country house lockdown with Caroline Bingley?
And most importantly, how will Mr Darcy and Elizabeth overcome their pride and prejudice in the face of strict social distancing and terrifying coronavirus conspiracy theories?

Discussions upon Translations from the Elvish by bunn
Fandom The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
07 Oct 2024
Summary
Stories about history and transmission of story in Middle-earth focussing on Bilbo Baggins in later life; his role as a scholar and Elf-friend after his adventure, and the writing that he did in Rivendell: 'Translations from the Elvish'; a work of great scholarship, compiled with the help of the Elves of Rivendell, which later passed to Elanor Gamgee and from there to Gondor. Some of the stories from the Silmarillion and the History of Middle-earth series are here re-told in a more hobbitish form.
This series has no overall arc and will probably never be marked complete. Each of the stories is designed to stand alone, and I endeavour to make them canon-compliant in so far as that is possible.

Return to Aman by bunn
Fandom The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
05 Jan 2018
Summary
A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...)
The first story, And the wind as sweet as honey in the mouth, is about Maglor and Elrond meeting again in the Second Age, rather than in Aman, but fits with the overall series otherwise.
This series is connected with the Mandos series, about the experiences of Feanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Curufin and Celegorm in the Halls of Mandos, but it can stand alone.

Golden Light by bunn for amyfortuna (elwinfortuna)
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
08 Apr 2017

Summary
"All his life, he would remember that moment: the silver bells of Hithlum greeting the rising sun, and then, as if in answer to the bells, voices raised in song, the voices of the Eldar, impossibly clear, impossibly beautiful. "
In which Hador Lórindol comes to Hithlum, swears fealty to Fingolfin, and follows his lord to the end. And doesn't regret a thing. (Well, maybe that one embarrassing misunderstanding about the Feanorians....)
Thanks to pp for beta reading.
