Bio:
Writer of fanfiction, obsessed with The Silmarillion. My non-Silmarillion-based Tolkien fiction is posted on the Henneth-Annun Story Archive. Click here to find my Lord of the Rings fiction. Also, I usually write a monthly biography of characters of The Silmarillion here on the SWG, archived under "Periodicals," Character of the Month Biographies. "Aulë the Smith" placed First in Non-Fiction: Character Studies in the 2008 MEFAs. In the 2009 MEFAs, “Elwing the White” received Second Place in Non-Fiction: General and “Fingon The Valiant” received an Honorable Mention in Non-Fiction: General.

No Justice to Yourself by oshun

Rated: Teens | [Reviews - 1]
Summary:  

Erestor sails to Valinor and finds himself involved with someone he was infatuated with as a youth. Based upon the request by Darth Fingon, in the 2009 Ardor in August fic swap, for Finarfin/Erestor, set in the Fourth Age in Aman, including secrecy and moral doubt. Did not want a fluffy, happy romance and if Earwen is part of the story and/or finds out about the affair, she should not be soppily happy for them.

Huge thank yous to: IgnobleBard, Lilithlessfair, and Aearwen, for reading and providing corrections and suggestions.

I Hate You by oshun

Rated: Adult | [Reviews - 4]
Summary:


Day 24 – B2MeM 2009, prompt: “Choose your favorite line or quotation from a non-Tolkien source.” This is a story referenced more than once but never developed in my short novel A New Day. Inspired by Dawn Felagund’s ficlet “Hatred,” it is an account of a low point in the relationship of Maedhros and Fingon before they left Valinor.

A New Day by oshun

Rated: Adult | [Reviews - 21]
Summary:

(New: see illustration by Robinka, added as Chapter 12.) This is a sequel to my first tale, (Maitimo and Findekáno), in my cycle of stories recounting the life-long relationship between Fingon and Maedhros. It occurs after the definitive fracture between the Houses of Feanor and Fingolfin and the flight of the Noldor to Middle-earth. Beginning immediately after Fingon’s rescue of Maedhros from the cliffs of Thangorodrim, it tells of how Fingon and Maedhros reunite and together resolve to heal the divisions among the Noldor. (Slash.)

Gentlemen's Night Out by oshun

Rated: Teens | [Reviews - 1]
Summary: This story is old, but I never posted it here before, because I wasn’t sure it would rightly be considered Silmfic. In the April 2009 Newsletter Dawn posted some guidelines, which included this among several examples of stories that might be considered Silmfic: "The Mirkwood Elves consider their own customs and traditions as compared to what is described in Laws and Customs among the Eldar . . . . " I laughed when I read that. Because this story, which she has never seen, contains exactly that. Nothing graphic in this humorous tale, but the entire story is a discussion of sexual mores with references to past sexual experiences both het and slash. Written in response to the LACE and the Culture and Sexuality challenges at HASA. Contains various well-known characters from Lord of the Rings, in addition to The Silmarillion characters. (Apologies for such a long note for a short story and not a serious one at that!)

A Letter to Fingon by oshun

Rated: Teens | [Reviews - 5]
Summary:

 

Day 17 SWG Back to Middle-earth Month entry. The prompt: A stereotype is a generalization, usually exaggerated or oversimplified . . . . Write a story… where characters break stereotypes. Summary: Maedhros writes a letter to Fingon questioning his strategy behind his attack on the dragon Glaurung. (I hope that the format is legible. I would have written it in Quenya (yeah, right!) and used Tengwar, but then no one would have been able to read it.) Thank you, IgnobleBard, for Beta reading this ficlet.

In their youth in Valinor, Maedhros has a secret crush on Fingon, his younger half-cousin, and Maglor loves to tease him about it.

A Real Beauty by oshun

Rated: General | [Reviews - 3]
Summary: A double-drabble in response to the SWG Back to Middle-earth Month challenge, day 8, “contrast beauty/ugliness.”

It’s a story of young Finwean firebrands in love (Aredhel/Celegorm). I knew I would eventually get around to writing something like this. I’ve always imagined that Aredhel and Celegorm shared a youthful romance in Valinor.

Rated: Adult | [Reviews - 11]
Summary:

Haldir meets Beleg in Valinor and each comes to terms with his past. Slash. (Warning: Could conceivably be called a LotR/Silmarillion crossover, although it is primarily based upon The Silmarillion.) Written in response to a request by Kenaz for the Ardor in August 2008 fic swap: “ . . . an encounter between an Elf recently released from the Halls of Mandos and an Elf who has recently come to Valinor from Middle-earth. . . . struggling to acclimate themselves to a new place and time, and trying to relate to each other . . . . love to see Haldir meet Beleg.” Betas: Pandemonium, IgnobleBard and Lissa

It Gives A Lovely Light (Drabble/Ficlet Collection) by oshun

Rated: Adult | [Reviews - 12]
Summary:

Latest addition: "First Impression," (featuring Mahtan, Nerdanel and Feanor for Rhapsody). NEW: Illustration of this chapter by Noliel.

Chapters are added within chronological order of the events.

A series of drabbles/ficlets: seeds of stories based upon characters and events from the Silmarillion. The title of the collection is taken from a line in a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, because it reminded me of the exiled Noldor, particularly, although not exclusively, the sons of Feanor:

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!

According to my research there is one year between the births of these two women, with Galadriel being the younger. Why femslash these two? Why not?
