• A Day of Celebration by Mirkwoodmaiden

  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.

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))

• Dol Guldur by Arnakhor

  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, but awaits reposting of Dol Guldur. Thanks to those who have encouraged me to restore the deleted works.
