A lost and lonely sailor listens at night as a new voice rises, intertwining with the melody of the sea. (Or A retelling of Beren and Lúthien's meeting in a Mermaid!AU).

Finarfin, wisest son of Finwë, had an inkling what the Oath would drive his nephews to do. Like any uncle, he would do what he could to spare them that. Or how the youngest child of Finwë gave everyone some bad days.

A tale of the middle child of Thingol and Melian. One that brought sorrow and joy. In the woods of Doriath the trees whisper of heavy hearts. By the river Aelin-Uial the water murmurs of deliverance.

A wine-fueled faux pas has left a rift between Gil-galad and Elrond, maybe. If a week out of town and a new wardrobe can't set things right, there's always the sparring ring. (COMPLETE) Can be read standalone, but more appropriately as the continuation of 'Duty, Gossip, Wine, and Buoys'

Decided to try scribbling out my own ideas for a telling of the Second Age

Valinor, post-canon. Maedhros is reembodied just as he was before going to Middle-earth. He has trouble adjusting.

Snapshots of Elrond and Maedhros and their relationship

After the destruction of the Ring, Sauron makes a last, desperate attempt at survival and Celebrimbor comes across something familiar in the land of Avathar. What was broken might be remade.

Melkor finally gets free and descends to Arda to bring Dagor Dagorath to the world and get his revenge.

Part 303 posted, in which the Rohirrim charge through a mixed host of Dunlendings and Corsairs to enter Edoras. There they spend the night making plans to defend the city. The battle begins the following morn, but outnumbered six to one, the Eorlingas are forced to withdraw, ceding the capital of Rohan to Wulf son of Freca and his allies. OCs galore as usual.

Waking up in a new world is terrifying. For Kiera, she is dumped into this world, but in the wrong age to make a difference. For residents of Gondolin, their once isolated city will be shaken with the arrival of humans. For a few elves, the pull of humans is intriguing. While some develop friendships, only two turn into love, pushing the boundaries of mortal and immortal unions.

Before he was the Dark Lord Sauron, there was Mairon the Maia. The long, winding path of destiny does not always have good things in store. A tale of corruption and darkness, that eventually ends in the evil staining Middle Earth.

One Sindarin elf was born with a much greater Ósanwë gift than the others, which he discovered while still a child. Much later, as an adult, when he encounters an enemy after the battle, he will realize – thanks to his gift – that the encounter is very unusual.

Just writin'... my interpretation of Aredhel

Betrayal is the fate of all the Fëanorians; why should he be any different?

SA 1600-01. Following their return to Middle Earth, Gloredhel and Glorfindel find their footing at Forlond and the court of yet another High King with all the political and cultural complexities that have occurred since their deaths. In time, Gloredhel rides west to search for Gwaihir and take counsel with Celebrimbor, now that Annatar has been revealed as Gorthaur returned.

The children of Huor were both given tasks by the Valar. What will the other's be, and what will it take to accomplish it? Silly little daydreams with my OC-avatar ;)

AzureSkye's "Reclamation" got my own plot bunnies hopping of what could happen to Mairon next. Curumo's plots against Mairon come to a head, but who can rescue Mairon when no one can find him?

Arnafinwe Nárefinda Silmíre remembers when her father began his descent to madness. She remembers how everyone, even the twins, noticed. Noticed and did nothing. She will pay the cost for centuries to come... Full credit for the cover image goes to @sentineljedi on Tumblr (and I asked permission to use it!). NOT ABANDONED. JUST SLOW UPDATES.

A short fluffy scene wherein King Finrod Felagund introduces himself to the Atani (Men). (Disclaimer: Everything named is the Tolkien Estate's.)

Nerdanel & Eärwen have tea, talk, and find peace in each other's company.

While Smaug slept he dreamed, and who do we know is in charge of dreams? Lord Irmo of course! This is the story of Smaug sleeping from Irmo's perspective.

Silmarillion and Rings of Power AU. Galadriel reminds Maedhros of Feanor

This story is the beginning of the "Warriors of Doriath" trilogy, and follows Beleg Cúthalion throughout his life, through parts of his childhood, and up until his death at the hands of Túrin. {1 "Warriors of Doriath" Trilogy}

At the end of all things, Nerdanel is still alone.
