Tolkien quote of the day:

And he went on, and there was yellow light, and fire within; and the evening meal was ready, and he was expected. And Rose drew him in, and set him in his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said.

bullet Destiny's Child by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 6/25/2020
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.

An unexpected family reunion in the Isle of Balar helps Ereinion make peace with his legacy and find his purpose.

bullet On Father's day by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 6/21/2020
In commemoration of Father's Day here in the States I have two stories about fathers and their children. One is fluffy and light, about Faramir and his children. The other, concerning Thranduil and Legolas is more angsty. Neither is set on Father's day in Middle Earth only that they are stories concerning fathers and their children.
