    Summary

    "His head was on her arse. Gandalf was dead. Satan was real. Aragorn was confessing his feelings and she could feel wind on her bum cheeks. Nothing about this was okay. Could he have not given her at least three business days to prepare for this sort of thing? She wanted a nap and a bath and a big bloody glass of wine. Maybe even a wee lobotomy to scrape out the horrors she’d witnessed today."

    ----------

    Beautiful, clever, rich — Maeve Dashwood is perfectly content with her privileged life in London and sees no need for an ambitious career or marriage.
    Grubby, useless, terrified — Maeve Dashwood can dig her heels in all she likes, but when destiny comes calling, the Valar will drag her kicking and screaming. Facing a new world of horrors while suffering the graphic withdrawals of modern comforts and medicine, this reluctant and extremely unqualified heroine might be Middle Earth’s only hope. Eru take pity on them all.

    Summary

    harp (n.)
    "stringed musical instrument played with the fingers"
    Old English: hearpe
    from Proto-Germanic *harpon- (of uncertain origin)
    (*source also of Old Saxon harpa "instrument of torture"; Old Norse harpa; Dutch harp; Old High German harpfa; German Harfe)

    or: Harper wakes up in Middle-earth, and that quickly becomes the least of her problems.
    (the tenth walker fic I would have written if I'd gotten into lotr as a teenager, because it's never too late to indulge yourself.)

    Summary

    Kara is at the end of her nursing shift when a violent man is brought in with an arrow wound. When he spits blood on her, Kara is transported elsewhere. Soon she's doing emergency wound care on book characters and trying not to lose it. She can't watch people suffer even if it isn't real, but Aragorn is very suspicious of a woman who tells no clear story and smells like an orc.

    “Stranger things have happened than you or I have years to tell of it," Gandalf said. "Why does she unsettle you? Surely you do not feel threatened. I am tolerably certain you could defeat her if it came to violence.”
    Aragorn scoffed at his gentle humor. “I’m glad to amuse you. There are more dangers than warriors and swords. Need I tell a wizard that?"
    “I can assure you she is not evil and has not a whisper of magic.”
    “Yet a beautiful woman appears directly in our path, leagues from civilization, and immediately gains the hobbits’ trust. No wizardry, you say?”
    Kara was not *unhappy* at being called a beautiful woman (although his standards for human women, as opposed to elves, were probably low), but she was unhappy to be stuck eavesdropping. She’d seen this scene too many times in movies. They would definitely see her.

    Summary

    Jon Snow was many things, both a Stark and a Targaryen, he loved a queen, and was a queenslayer. After being exiled beyond the Wall, he lived a full and complete life. For ten years he remained there, until he was asked to help record the history of the Long Night. Learning of a mistake that must be rewritten for the gods from Bran, he prepares himself to be reborn in the past. One girl, with the knowledge of a man not yet living, must right the wrongs of the past and future. Visenya Targaryen will stop at nothing to see her sister on her rightful throne. To fulfill her destiny, the Dance of Dragons must be prevented.

    A fix-it fic with our fave broody man. Will be a mix of TV and book canon, as many dynamics and events are changed or altered for the ease of the plot. ABANDONED.
