There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

The King Who Wanted to Live Forever by DADGAD
Not the one you all know about. This is a slightly creepy Xmas Tale. Some JRRT characters do appear here, though you'll have to spot them. I've just split this into chapters to make it easier to read. One chapter rated PG for one short sequence of violence.

Shorts by Gwynhyffar
A/N: Rated PG-13 for some later stuff... So, I have a lot of partially written stories and scenes. Some of them I will eventually turn into something bigger and better, others probably not. I thought I would post some of the more finished pieces that can stand on their own. They're longer than drabbles, but not really full stories. These did not have a beta reader and are pretty rough. Thank you for your indulgence.

While We Live by j_dav
"The King yielded to Sauron and felled the White Tree, and turned then wholly away from the allegiance of his fathers. But Sauron caused to be built upon the hill in the midst of the city of the Númenóreans, Armenelos the Golden, a mighty temple." -As seen from Tar-Míriel's perspective. She must choose between loyalty to the Elf-friends and duty to her husband. Sauron's manipulations, Ar-Pharazôn’s obsession with immortality and Amandil's grim plans to save his people all weave a web of tragedy about the last Queen of Númenor. Cast - Tar-Míriel, Ar-Pharazôn, Amandil, Zigûr(Sauron).

Prisoners of Conscience by j_dav
"And it came to pass that Tar-Palantir grew weary of grief and died. He had no son, but a daughter only, whom he named Míriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. But Pharazôn took her to wife against her will, doing evil in this and evil also in that the laws of Númenor did not permit the marriage, even in the royal house, of those more nearly akin than cousins in the second degree. And when they were wedded, he seized the sceptre into his own hand, taking the title of Ar-Pharazôn (Tar-Calion in the Elven-tongue); and the name of his queen he changed to Ar-Zimraphel." The tragedy as seen from Amandil's eyes. Amandil was lord of Andúnië during these tumultuous events. Cast: Amandil, Tar-Palantir, Tar-Míriel and Ar-Pharazôn.
