Disclaimer: I don't own Tolkien. Believe me, I'd know.
Chapter 1: America
Not all the elves passed.
Some of them lingered on in Arda Marred.
Years and years and years.
Not empty years, of course. But oh so many years.
Years enough for the shape of the land to bend again. Long enough for Valinor to retreat utterly from this world.
They did not all wish to return.
Some of them did. Of course, they did.
Men became less than they once were.
They sailed. Of course, they sailed.
But there was nothing to sail to.
It was gone. Of course, it was gone.
That doesn't mean they were turned back. No, they landed somewhere.
It just wasn't Aman. Of course, it wasn't Aman.
It was America.
AN: So, I thought it would be fun to try to mesh Tolkien and world history. I'm going to attempt to keep both as genuine as I can. Please tell me if you'd be interested in this! Thank you.
