• Drabbles by Salsify

  Here are a handful of drabbles I've written lately, 100 words being about all I can fit onto phone message notes at work. I'm beginning to like being put on hold. "First Contact" is a prequel to my story "Dinner Guests", and probably won't make much sense if you haven't read that. Persons of refined taste and delicate sensibilities should probably skip that one.

• Children of Húrin

  A young woman caught up in Saruman's breeding projects discovers how far a mother's love can stretch. Rating is for reference to rape and violence, occasional coarse language, and adult situations. Multiple OCs, just in case thinking about where all those half-orcs came from isn't scary enough for you.

  A somewhat different version of the story told in the Silmarillion chapter "Of Maeglin". Would Aredhel's family have given an impartial account of what happened, and could there be other explanations for why Eol did what he did?
