  1. Summary

    The historical isolation between Middle-earth and what scholars now term Modern Earth ended abruptly in 1883 when the British exploration vessel HMS Challenger penetrated what mariners had long called the "Impenetrable Mists" in the North Atlantic. Now, in the shadow of that merged reality, Alfred Pierson studies comparative literature at Harvard. He has no war to fight, no prophecy to fulfil. He lives quietly, precisely, turning his life into footnotes and argument. That changes when Glorfindel arrives as a visiting professor, half-shrouded in myth, entirely real.

    Fallen Once and Fallen Twice is a series chronicling the unexpected relationship between a graduate student of modern texts and a warrior-poet whose death has already been written.

    It's a passion project: equal parts love letter to Tolkien’s world and a quiet meditation on history, desire, and fantasy. Written with care, curiosity, and far too many references to obscure poetic forms!

  2. Summary

    A collection of stories about Glorfindel and Ecthelion--some soft, some sharp, some only a breath long. Most of them stand alone, but some are connected.

    Anar and Ithil, sun and moon, warmth and cool shadow. Not always in order, not always in the same world, but always circling each other.

    Summary

    In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.

    Summary

    “I hope you don’t mind, it's simply elven way to be proud of your marriage” then he continued as if he hadn’t just dropped a bomb shell “however I endeavor to respect your cultural and personal preferences as best as possible”

    The moment between them sizzled, Gimli felt himself as a kettle, quickly reaching his boiling point.

    Then, as Legolas leaned forward to collect himself, and the tea, Gimli exploded “You’re married!?”

    Legolas flinched slightly in reaction blinking down at him with large elf eyes, a small questioning smile worked its way onto his lips “what are you-” he stopped short, and as the realization dawned on him, he gave the tiniest “oh”

    ***
    Legolas thought Gimli understood elven traditions regarding marriage and sex. Gimli does not. This is the story of what happens when an elf and a dwarf accidentally get married while in the middle of a giant war. Featuring a very exasperated human ranger.
