Tolkien quote of the day:

The Land of Valinor slopes downward from the feet of the Mountains, and its western shore is at the level of the bottoms of the inner seas. And not far thence, as has been said, are the Walls of the World; and over against the westermmost shore in the midst of Valinor is Ando Lomen the Door of Timeless Night that pierceth the Walls and opens upon the Void. For the World is set amid Kuma, the Void, the Night without form or time. But none can pass the chasm and the belt of Vaiya and come to that Door, save the great Valar only. And they made that Door when Melkor was overcome and put forth into the Outer Dark; and it is guarded by Earendel.

bullet Untold Tales of the Mark - The Rewrite by Katzilla Last Updated: 9/16/2021
This is a partly new take on my 80-chapter-epic "Untold Tales of the Mark: The Banishment of Éomer", which was posted here over a decade ago. After having completed its prequel, "A Red Sun rises", last year, I found that I had grown attached to some of Éomer's riders and decided to give them a more active part in the action. So here we go again...buckle up!

Overwrought by Gandalf's passing, the Company tarried too long outside the gates of Moria. The delay sets off a chain of disastrous consequences for their flight to the Golden Wood.

bullet Darkness by Aldwen Last Updated: 9/7/2021
A few months after the events in Sirion the eldest son of Fëanor returns to Himring from a trip to the border. An encounter in a hallway calls forth memories, but perhaps something else too. Maedhros’ story, consistent with ‘The Brink’ and ‘The Stronghold’.

bullet Dragon Deception by Mimi Lind Last Updated: 9/5/2021
Spellbound by Glaurung, Father of Dragons, Túrin abandons Princess Finduilas and runs on a fool’s errand. But what if she doesn't wait in vain for a rescuer that will never come, and fights back? Perhaps then Túrin can evade his doom after all. - A fix-it version of the Silmarillion tragedy, but the first two chapters are canon compliant and can be read as a standalone piece. Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2021.

bullet The Tenth Walker by Lindelea Last Updated: 8/9/2021
Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony gave my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. Chapters are about as long as a pony's attention span. New: Kindling fire on Caradhras. Or not, as it were.

The epic battle of Éomer's éored against Ugluk's Uruk-hai on the edge of Fangorn Forest, plus the events shortly before and after, as seen from the Rohirric side.

bullet The Return of Elrond's Precious! by Calairiel Malromiel Last Updated: 8/3/2021
This directly follows Wedding Woes, but can be read as a stand alone. King Thranduil wants the Noldor gone so he gives permission to his kin, Eluréd and Elurín, to help them along. Meanwhile, Elrond is trying to speed up the courtship of his son and is told to mind his own business. And he finally makes his peace with his Grandsire, Fingolfin.

bullet The Return of Maeglin by Calairiel Malromiel Last Updated: 7/20/2021
The first time Mandos calls Fingolfin since he'd become the Doomsman's lackey was to convince his daughter to rebirth Maeglin. This was NOT in his job description!

There are many adventures during the journey from Erebor to Khazad-dûm, and once the dwarves arrive there, they have to win the war against the orcs to reclaim their old home.

bullet Destiny's Child by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 7/15/2021
Éowyn is an endlessly fascinating character to me. This is her story, to my mind. This story will eventually merge with my story of Faramir, "Bound by Duty; Bound by Joy" where they meet. It is her story in that story arc. The first chapter was inspired by Lindelea asking about how Éowyn became a Shieldmaiden.

bullet Maglor's Return by Calairiel Malromiel Last Updated: 7/7/2021
Follow-up to the Return of the Bards detailing how Fingolfin Convinced Maglor to Leave the Halls of Mandos. To say he talked the bard's ear off would be an understatement.
