  2. Summary

    This series follows my Return to Aman series, and is probably most fun for people who like that one and want more.

  3. 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.

  4. Summary

    These stories are all about the War of Wrath period, but were written at different times with different protagonists, and don't have to be read in any particular order. I'm trying to keep them more or less in chronological order.

    My novel-length work Quenta Narquelion covers the Eastern front, the Feanorians and Belegost in some detail, but I have not included it in this series as it is slightly canon-divergent, being narrated by Invisible Ghost Feanor.

  5. Summary

    Stories about the House of Fëanor, the House of Fingolfin, and Dior and Nimloth in the Halls of Mandos after their deaths.

    This series connects with the Return to Aman series about Elrond and Maglor coming back to Valinor after the fall of Sauron, but does not require it.

    Summary

    Galadriel and Celeborn, through the Third Age of Middle-earth.

    There are ways to express the difference between you wanted and I wish you wanted in Quenya by adding the right affix. In Sindarin you must change the sounds of the verb itself, the feeling soaking into the substance of the word. What is the lenited form of grief, he thinks. What is the right declension for a yearning without a name.

    Summary

    One in the airs of heaven, says my brother, and one in the fires of the heart of the world, and one in the deep waters. His voice dances when he talks. These are the jewels the elves lost. A father and his seven sons came across the sea to find them, and all of them died except one, who still walks by the sea and sings. Sometimes I can hear him, and I pull my brother to the window and point. He says it is only the birds.

    A Fourth Age Maglor fic.

    Summary

    A collection of folktales told among the Elven thralls of Angband. Dedicated (rather shyly) to Fialleril, without whose Tatooine stories I would never have written these.
