Fandom The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
27 Sep 2012
Summary
Estel. Strider. Thorongil. Aragorn. He is a Man of many names and struggles with the expectations placed upon him by each and every one.
The Galadhel, on the other hand, is known only to few and by nothing so revealing as a name. The tasks entrusted to his hands are not the stuff of legends but of secret peril and thankless sacrifice.
Though their paths must needs diverge along the fates allotted them, still Elf and Man will find something in one another of trust and faith and, perhaps, of love as they gather news for their allies and foil the plots of the Enemy whose malign influence is once more spreading across Middle Earth.

Summary
Aboard Galdor's warship, Glorfindel returns in triumph from a dangerous expedition deep into enemy territory. He has found Elrond's missing son, but all is not well: the Elf-child that was abducted by the Corsairs of Umbar is now a Man grown. War and darkness have left Elrohir deeply scarred, and he is not the mission's only casualty.
An alternate universe for the Under Strange Stars series, in which Elrohir goes with Glorfindel instead of running away from him after the events of Under Strange Stars. This story covers the events of ‘Northern Skies’, but it can be enjoyed without having read the original.
STORY COMPLETE
Many thanks to Grundy for all of her excellent beta-reading and brainstorming.

Summary
After Buffy's death, Angel struggles to work through his grief. The only person he finds he can really talk to about Buffy isn't technically a person at all... but she's got a very familiar face.
This canon-compliant fic slots in during the summer immediately following The Gift and before Heartthrob. It tells the story of the time Angel spends in Sunnydale before heading to Sri Lanka and the consequences of Willow's first attempt to fill the gap Buffy left behind.

As word of a nebulous menace travels to the other side of the world, leadership of the Slayer Organization decides to get involved in the case LA one more time.

Summary
Tante Mattie once told Remy that he wouldn’t recognize destiny if it fell out of the sky and crashed right on top of him…
…which is why when—after a loud crack and startled yelp—someone fell down from the tree directly above his head, the normally well-attuned thief didn’t even see it coming.

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.
