"If the real war had inspired or directed the development of the legend, then certainly the Ring would have been seized and used against Sauron."

A few hundred years into the Third Age, Lord Cirdan of the Grey Havens sends an elleth named Elluin and her family to Greenwood the Great to make their home under King Thranduil. They bear a prophecy that hints at fruition when Elluin, now a servant in the palace, finds herself falling in love with the troubled Elvenking.

Directly after the events of Missing Ada. How does Legolas' sister do being away from home for so long for the first time. (Sorry, my summaries suck :p)

When he first laid eyes on her, she was digging graves for the dead; she had arrived too late. When she first laid eyes on him, he climbed the hill, pillars of smoke trailing into the darkened air behind him; he had arrived too late. There they both stood, and there, in the deepening dusk and in the settling night, two heavy and sorrowful hearts meet. It was all too late.

While Erestor is laid up, Estel sends his beloved nurse to keep his friend company. Mellolaes tells the Noldo a story of her people and his to keep him entertained. Neither can foresee the results.

Near the end of his life, Denethor visits Ithilien to be with his family. His family does not know of his imminent arrival and is taken by surprise. Just as they are by the news he brings with him. While there, he remembers how the War of the Ring ended. Faramir's advice allowed him to free himself from Sauron's hold. Part of the Arandur Denethor series.

Firefoot may be a horse, but he is a wise horse and he knows what he wants and thinks. In his humble opinion, Éomer is a good master who is quite easy to train to be an even better master. In his humble opinion, Éomer is smart enough to appreciate a good horse and not get any foolish ideas. In Aragorn's opinion, if not Éomer drives him mad, Firefoot will surely do it, for the hors

A look at Sam and Frodo's incredible friendship! The quest, plus various scenes from before and after the war, told from Frodo and Sam's POV. Pretty AU, basically my 1 AM headcanons, lots of fluff and angst. No slash, just cuddles and kissies and hobbits being adorable :) enjoy!

Warrior, outlaw, spy, thief, prince, friend of orc, elf and man- There is an elf we all know and love from Tolkien’s books. Yet no one knows who he really is, where he really came from, and why he lies to hide his past. Can his lord and friends uncover this strange mystery before it’s too late to help him? Or will people and secrets of Aëlorothi’s dark past catch up to them first?

How does one become a Ranger of the North? Fifty years before the War of the Ring, a young woman of the Dunedain dreams of following her father into the Grey Company. Canon-respectful, if not entirely compliant :)

Marya one of the gods comes to Middle-earth under cover as a mortal to help Gandalf... The product of my silly little daydreams, my LOTR non-canon avatar...

An elven woman is found, she cannot remember her name or where she is from. Or any basic facts about herself for that matter except for some bits and pieces of old traditions. Through some kind of curse, she also happens to have a mental connection to Sauron. She ends up joining along with the Fellowship, making new friends (and loves) along the way. Will she get her memory back?

The Landlord of the Drunken Goose welcomes you in his common hall to hear horror tales gleaned along the greenway, or gentle saucy rhymes from the Shire. Today: A tale fom the Anduin Vale !

The third-and final-part of a retelling of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, all from the viewpoint of Aragorn. Book and movie-verse. (R&R please)

Following the death of his Queen, Thranduil receives an offer of assistance in raising his young son. Despite his troubled past with unbearably irritating elleth, he agrees. When frustration turns to admiration, then maybe something more, can either let down their walls enough to let something more grow?

My attempt at a 100-Drabble challenge, kindly given to me by LadyLindariel. Starring all sorts of characters!

The High King and Queen along with Prince Faramir, Lady Éowyn and King Éomer have to work out a plan to help Éowara, whilst knowing that all Éowara wishes to do is see the land her Hobbit friends hail from.

Anne loves stories, but she doesn't much care for this one. Why is she here? Who is Elena and what is this fearful whisper about the altered ones? Left in the unwilling hands of an aloof, tight-lipped Elf, she soon learns that Middle-earth can be a harsh and unforgiving place. Reality is a fragile thing, but the crack was already there. She didn't do it. Fourth Age, AU

A tale in which losing things is no misfortune, and finding them, no serendipity. 1st place in the August/September 2022 Teitho Challenge "Rings".

The Third Age was supposed to dwindle into one of peace. Instead darkness reaches out from the forgotten past for the very heart of Gondor, and as he steps into the age of ruling Aragorn finds himself staring into the mouth of a beast he’d thought long ago destroyed. Not all evil was born of the Dark Lord Sauron, and not all evil was vanquished when he fell.

Saving the entirety of Middle Earth from Sauron's evil entitles one to some... liberties. WARNING: Mature Themes Abound!

After the War of the Ring, Lothíriel of Dol Amroth finds herself at the reveicing end of the search for peace and prosperity by being used as a pawn in an alliance made between kings and princes. Married to the King of the Riddermark she must navigate being a stranger in a strange land, being a queen to a king, and to learn to live and love with a man she hardly knows.

Raelee cannot go forth with a life that she has no say in. A life that will condemn her forever to someone that she does not love and to give up the one thing that she does. She resigns herself to her future until a chance of freedom presents itself in the form of a troubled king and his one request. She will do whatever it takes to get past the gate. (AU reg. sex and marriage)

A l'enseigne de l'Oie Saoule se croisent malandrins et bourgeois, nains et hobbits, nobles et manants. Les chants de la Comté y côtoient les nouvelles du sud. Des contes à frémir d'horreur, glanés le long du chemin vert, s'y chuchotent autour d'une bière ambrée. Aujourd'hui, un conte de Grand'Peur

Before Frodo, before Bilbo, before even Smeagol, tensions are high between the Woodland Realm and Imladris. Ithilriel, youngest daughter of Elrond, is tasked with scouting the area near Mirkwood for any signs they plan to invade. When the mission goes awry and warg riders chase her deep into Mirkwood, Ithilriel realises a certain woodland prince is not the enemy she thought he was.
