Tolkien quote of the day:

"Now I will make you an offer. I have got my ring and will creep down this very noon-then if ever Smaug ought to be napping-and see what he is up to. Perhaps something will turn up. 'Every worm has his weak spot,' as my father used to say, though I am sure it was not from personal experience."

bullet A Day of Celebration by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 2/11/2025
I first wrote this April 2020 at the beginning of lockdowns. We couldn't go out & celebrate our own anniversary so I decided to write about one instead. It is Faramir and Eowyn's twentieth wedding anniversary and all have come to celebrate! ONE YEAR ON: This is still the same story but I am adding and revamping bits of the story. Adding a chapter before "Morning Tidings" and there will be chapters afterward. Repost due to Breach & for Lindelea as she needs fluffy stories right now! ((hugs))

bullet Bound by Duty; Bound by Joy by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 2/4/2025
During the Ring War Faramir falls victim to more than just the physical wounds he took trying to retake Osgiliath. The Black Breath tries to claim him and only the Hands of the Healer, the King can bring him back. In killing the Witch King Éowyn is wounded and though Aragorn can heal her body, He cannot heal her spirit. Faramir will.

bullet Dol Guldur by Arnakhor Last Updated: 2/1/2025
Dol Guldur was originally published in the fall of 2018. A sequel to it, Days of the Dunedain, was published in the fall of 2024. Both were deleted in the recent breach of the website. Days of the Dunedain has been restored to the site. I am in the process of restoring Dol Guldur to Stories of Arda. It’s a longer work than Days of the Dunedain so it may take a few weeks or so to restore. As chapters are finished they will be posted. A third story involving the Dunedain is in progress,

bullet Eä's Redemption by AaronSecret Last Updated: 1/29/2025
This is my new poetical attempt to add my own interpretation to Tolkien's Cosmology as to Eru's Creation and the Valar's minds and behind-the-scene providence reasons and mechanisms.. I often review Eä as part of our own world, just in another dimension, this is why I have always seriously thought on the matter who the Ainur are, who Eru is, how he matches our own religious pantheon, and this has been conducted after serious research of many esoteric teachings of our own planet's heritage.
