• Moments of Grace by Antane

  It is still my hope and plan that this grow to be part of a whole series of moments of the Presence of God and His angels. NEW: Celebrating the birth of Samwise.

• Beyond the Mountain Passes by Thundera Tiger

  When a certain elf and dwarf first agreed to join the Fellowship, they only promised to go as far as the mountain passes. At what point did they decide to keep going? And perhaps more importantly, why? A Lothlórien gapfiller featuring Gimli and Legolas.

• Escaping the dragon by Nesta

  No risk of aggravated larceny as with Smaug, or of indiscreet revelations of family history as with Glaurung: this dragon lives in Ithilien. Narrated by my favourite Steward.

• That One Time You Saved My Life by Celeritas

  For Socrates399, as a reward for knowing obscure Dickensian characters whose last names make their way into my fan-fiction. She requested something about Frodo and Sam. I duly complied with this semi-humorous tale about the difficulties of readjusting to living with someone you haven't seen in years.

• ...Does Not Glitter by perelleth

  After leaving Bag End, Bilbo travelled to Dale and Erebor before settling down in Imladris, where he remained a guest until Elrond took ship. A kind of sequel to “Mathom” and “All that is Gold…” a very belated birthday story for The Karenator and an early one for Dot; with spiders, ghosts, Mirkwood elves, rangers and whatnot.

• Fragments of a love story by Nesta

  Fans have endowed Faramir with lots of imaginary families, and this is mine. There's Elboron of course, and then a daughter called Fíriel - the heroine of this story - and then Túrin, who is an oddball. 'Fragments' because the story isn't really complete - but that's just how it turned out.

• What's in a Name? by Lissas Elves

  A bit of light reading on a grey day... The following are not chapters of a story, but independent (and slightly irreverent) ficlets about the meaning of certain Noldorin names, as explained by Darth Fingon in his 'Linguistic Foolery' on SWG. The first: a meeting - inspired by one of Oshun's icons. The second: an interesting phenomenon - inspired by Rhapsody the Bard. The third (now added): a bored teenager gets himself into trouble. Thanks to Calenlass Greenleaf for betaing!

• Beating Down the Pain by Rhyselle

  Written for the B2MeM Prompt 17: "breaking stereotypes". 22-year-old Aragorn learns that the Dunedain are far more than just the grim and stern lords he came to know when they visited Imladris, and that his foster-brothers hadn't told him everything about themselves either.
