Summary
Hazel's definition of reality had been thoroughly shifted by the time the eldest Feanorians, Glorfindel the Balrog Slayer, and the Fellowship of the Ring departed from her family's humble cabin. Now, she had books to read and college classes to return to, glad for the fun but perfectly happy in her normal life. But, when an old friend comes a-calling and terrible events send Hazel's world crashing down around her, adventure may come whether she wants it or not.
Soon she must push aside her own fear, grief, and self-doubt for the sake of those she has come to care for.
Who knows, maybe she'll find some help along the way.*Won't make much sense if you haven't read "What the Hell is Happening"*

Summary
Several years ago, a postdoctoral student named Elizabeth found herself landing in Middle Earth, a place that she had read and watched many times before. Only, this Middle Earth was different- darker. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men never happened for the elves abandoned mankind by forming a secret truce with Sauron. Mankind eventually won the war at great cost and quickly turned on those who betrayed them, the elves. Now, all elves in Middle Earth are hunted, and those caught are enslaved.
In this strange and dark version of Middle Earth, Elizabeth found her way to Minas Tirith, became a heralded healer, and eventually her medical skills, knowledge of Middle Earth, and whits granted her the honorable position of Head Advisor to the King. For many years she has served Gondor well and fallen in love with this magical- if at times barbaric place. Yet, all this changes when an elf she recognizes shows up. Now, she finds herself navigating the dark waters of politics whilst trying to keep both her morality and responsibilities in tact.
What will happen when she finds herself the master of an elven slave she never wished to own?

Summary
When college student Hazel finds herself somehow hosting two infamous Kinslayers and a re-born hero in her Uncle's cabin over winter break, she soon finds herself a bit over her head.
To make a long story short, the trio of elves turn out to be a disaster and thus a list of rules is established to create some semblance of order. This is how these rules came about...
Note: This is a companion to my story "What the Hell is Happening?" and is about the rules Hazel has to come up with.

Summary
When bookworm Hazel Lee finds out that her friends have all somehow ditched her on their winter retreat to her Uncle's cabin in the Colorado Rockies, she thinks that she's going to be in for 6 weeks of tea, books, snowy hikes, and some well deserved peace and quiet. What she doesn't expect is for a pair of fantasy characters with darks pasts to find their way to her cabin and throw all her plans for peace (and definitions of reality) into a tailspin.
Before she knows it, a certain Balrog slayer with a bone to pick with Feanorians makes an entrance.
If that wasn't bad enough, the Fellowship of the Ring decides to come knocking and Hazel is about ready to throw in the towel.
Will Hazel be able to prevent a fourth Kinslaying?
Will she manage to keep the future separate from the past?
And most importantly... will she be able to feed four hungry hobbits?A.K.A. I've been writing too much angst and I needed some humor. This is pure fun. Expect it to get absurd.

Summary
Newt’s found himself a new creature at the seashore. This creature is an extremely intelligent humanoid with a voice like a fallen angel, speaks a glorious, graceful language that Newt has never heard before, and suffers extensive scarring to the hands. He’s old, how old Newt isn’t sure, but despite the language barrier it’s clear that he’s deeply depressed and he has a disturbing tendency to believe himself a danger to all around him.
Newt just thinks he’s the last of an endangered species who’s been on his own for far too long.

Summary
Nearly eighty years after Celebrían left Middle Earth to seek healing, the people of Imladris have yet to quite move on. But when a simple task of 'make sure the road is clear' ends in the Elladan and Elrohir bringing home a seriously injured and sorely missed elf, the entire household is forced to re-examine just what they are to each other, and to themselves.
Alternatively: Maglor is bought to Imladris, setting off a chain of discussions, setting off a chain of events, that eventually lead to everyone being a little more sure of their place in the world.

Summary
Katie never asked for this. Katie never asked for the Fellowship of the Effing Ring to show up on her doorstep in the middle of a January snowstorm, she never asked to feed a bunch of hobbits for a week, and she sure as hell never asked to get pulled into Middle Earth, but sometimes, life's a bitch.
