The braids of her dark hair were touched by no frost, her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly she looked, and thought and knowledge were in her glance, as of one who has known many things that the years bring. So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen; Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Lúthien had come on earth again; and she was called Undómiel, for she was the Evenstar of her people.

Cierre, Min Heorte (Turn, My Heart) by SilverMoonLady
Summary: We begin in 1060 T.A.; a shadow hangs over Greenwood the Great, and some are beginning to call it Mirkwood. The events that follow span 1060 TA – 12 FA (1434 SR), and chronicle in drabble and verse the migration of the Tooks (and other hobbits) from their ancestral lands near the Anduin to settlement in the Shire and to Pippin’s inheritance of that history. Thank, Spacey, for the Old English!

Ithilden's Begetting Day by Nilmandra
Daw asked for a young Ithilden story for her birthday. I am a few days late (and likely a few dollars short), but I hope you enjoy this just the same. Ithilden is an original character from Daw's universe: Legolas's much older brother and someone we all have grown to love. But he wasn't always the confident and (overly) responsible elf we now know...
