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.

'I have no interest in the saving of this world, Mister Frodo, if I can't save you with it.' Samwise Gamgee cared not for weilding great weapons, overthrowing great cities, or fighting great battles. So when the One Ring tempted him, it tempted him with the thing he did care about- more than anything else in the world. (In which Sam makes Frodo take a break from carrying the Ring.)

Inspiration taken from the MERP Dark Mage of Rhudaur. My aunt gave me the books and the stories that she wrote to update and make my own so thanks to her.

Please note: A troll is still making the rounds, pretending to be my friend Thranduil Oropherion Redux and threatening people to review me. The real TOR and I have nothing to do with this. Please report this troll to admin. Thanks.

The Valar have two settings when it comes to getting involved in Middle-Earth's affair - Inert or Armageddon. There's no in-between for them. So what would be the reason for them sending a modern person into Middle-Earth? To save it or inadvertently destroy it? Clearly Eru Ilúvatar had chosen to stay out of it given His past experiences with Númenor.

[PippinxDiamond][LegolasxGimli][BoromirxOFC] In which the Fellowship has a much bigger quest to worry about.

The problem is, they're not exactly what the city was hoping for.

'Marry me,' Gareth had written. 'I will,' Willa had replied. That was before the War. A year later, she sets out to keep that promise —or find closure—with a hired sellsword at her side. For Gondor, and the Pelennor. A tale as old as time, as plain as Willa herself…. Or is it?

Frodo Baggins must take the One Ring to Mordor; and on the road, he needs steadfast companions, who will remain loyal to him until the very end. Glorfindel is one of the most obvious candidates... except that he has a friend, who REALLY does not want him to go; and who will do everything within - or beyond - his power to make him stay!

This story aims to make Shadow of Mordor fit better into the Tolkien legendarium. As such, there will be no Celebrimbor, wraith powers, or recursive resuscitation from the dead beyond Talion's initial death. This is my first fully fleshed out fan story, so please leave a comment but please refrain from attacking me for wanting to give these characters the careful story they deserve

"They're staring at us." "Probably because we both look like we just crawled out of a graveyard backwards." I said dryly, leaning heavily on my bow. He laughed where he sat next to me on the steps.

We all know the history of Middle Earth, how rings were forged for men, dwarves, and elves while another was forged in secret by Sauron. In the Rings of Power we saw a moment that could have changed everything. What if only the three were forged along with an unlikely alliance between ancient enemies. Rated T in case of violence and language.
