New and Updated Writing

For Allie, Nerdanel, Finarfin, and Eärwen on the day of Finarfin's coronation.

This is the first of two Christmas stories for 2007. This one deals with the birth of Earendil and is sweet and fluffy and wintry, I think...

For Tarion, Caranthir discovers a dark secret about Maedhros, the revelation of which could irreparably divide the Noldor. Will he reveal what he knows? Slash; Maedhros/Finrod. 2008 MEFA nominee.

These are two different stories, the first one was a Christmas tale for Christmas 2004 and retells the Christmas Story in a Second Age setting. The second one is a very short ficlet written as a Christmas present the following year for Keiliss and Ilye, using their favourite pairing.

Warnings: There are some VERY mild slash references in the two stories and one of the stories need an MPreg warning... just cos it would not be the same take on the christmas story without it.

For Hrymfaxe, Beleg and Mablung decide to fight in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, told in seven double drabbles.

A little ficlet in which Maedhros muses on the frivolous affair that is the Begetting Day Celebration. (Warnings for potentially offensive language and bawdy humour, or attempts thereof!)

This was written for Oshun's 2007 birthday, and was originally posted to the SWG LiveJournal community.

The loss of innocence with the Kinslaying at Alqualondë, the invocation of Doom at the very edges of Arda... and then, the parting of Fingolfin and Anairë.

[Written in honour of Fingolfin being character of the month at SilmarillionWritersGuild  for January 2007 (I've been slow to post it to this archive!), and also because I refuse to believe Anairë's friendship with Eärwen was the sole reason for their separation.]

A frightening experience one night in Doriath leads Galadriel to consider the irreconcilable differences between Sindar and Noldor. For Marta. 2008 MEFA nominee.

For Rinnor, three fixed-length ficlets about forgiveness among the Noldor: Feanor on forgiving his half-brother, Maedhros on pardoning the mistakes baby brothers make, and Fingolfin on why forgiveness is essential for the Noldor to defeat Morgoth.

For Elleth, Fëanor and Nerdanel meet again at the end of the world. A tale of loss and redemption. 2008 MEFA nominee.

For Hannah, an "AU in which Fëanor outlives all of his children." Fëanor and Maglor, together at the end. MEFA 2008 nominee.

Young Pengolodh meets his first Fëanorian beside the sea, as Celebrimbor attempts to replicate Fëanor's greatest accomplishment: harnessing light. MEFA 2008 nominee.

In answer to the question, "Maglor, why didn't you rescue Maedhros; why did the poor chap have to wait for cousin Fingon to go get him?" posed by Jillian Baade at the LiveJournal site. 

My response to the "Ask a Character" challenge, from the beginning of days (before monthly newsletters, even!).

An old, old Celebrimbor drabble, written once upon a time ago for the HASA Word of the Day challenge.

Maglor makes the perfect harp.

Maglor's and Maedhros' first conversation after maedhros has been saved from Thangorodrim.

It is written that Tar-Miriel was too late to reach the supposed safety of the Meneltarma when Numenor sank into the sea. But why was she late? What was so important that she would risk her life, knowing she would not survive?

A Birthday Story for gandalfs_apprentice on the Elessar and is also a bit of take-off on the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in honor of her penname.

Manwe discovers both the delights and the dangers of assuming corporeal form as he is drawn into a relationship with the brilliant, prideful Feanor. In trying to dissuade Feanor from leaving the Undying Lands, he learns more than he would like about why Feanor created the Silmarils and why they hold him enthralled. An elemental clash of titans.

This story won first place in the MEFA 2008 awards for First Age and Prior: General

and 2nd place in the 2007 My Precious Awards for LOTR fanfic in the “Best Minor Character” category.

Birthday story written in response to a solicitation of a request from minuial_nuwing. A mild slashy romp. Nothing serious. (All your fault, Min: When you challenged me to give you Arakáno/Amrod, you must have known it would come with footnotes.)

A fanfic writer meets two of her favorite Silmarillion characters.

No hope, no regrets. An AU take on Mablung's coming to terms with the passing of Melian and the consequences thereof.

Elrond and Elros are introduced to a Fëanorean tradition. 

For the Anniversary Contest: An AU of the what-if persuasion.

Chapter One: After the Darkening, the Kinslaying and the Flight of the Noldor, Nerdanel retreats to Alqualondë. What and whom will she find there, and where will her steps lead afterwards?

Maedhros meets someone he does not expect in the Halls of Mandos.
