New and Updated Fiction

In the harbour of Lindon, at the beginning of the Second Age, ships are being built--ships for the Edain to leave Middle-earth for Numenor, ships to carry the Elves to Valinor. At this time, Celebrimbor has an unexpected encounter and sees his path more clearly.

It's not easy to know that great events are afoot but be unable to take part in them. It's not easy being left behind.

The Drowning of Nûmenor is felt all over Middle-Earth.

Rían falls unconscious on the Hill of Slain and awakes in Gondolin.

A set of three ficlets. The first explores Fingon's interactions with his father and siblings after returning from rescuing Maedhros. The second involves Maedhros, Mairon, smithing, and symbolism. The third is a heart-to-heart between Fingon and Maedhros in which Maedhros confesses that he is going to pass the kingship of the Noldor to Fingolfin.

Nerdanel has a surpiring premonition. She definitely does not have a crush on Fëanor though. 

The War of Wrath lasted for forty-two years. It was neither a swift nor a certain victory. Here, in the middle of that great war, Celebrimbor, Elrond and Elros meet and work together. Elrond and Celebrimbor have complex feelings about the House of Fëanor. Elros, not so much.

During the Midsummer festivities of 472 F.A., Anairë is struck by a wrenching sense of dread. Nerdanel helps her to make sense of it.

Perhaps not all ghosts are evil. Written for Terrifying Tolkien Week 2017. 

Story about the recovery of Maedhros and his efforts to find himself in this new reality, but also to stitch back what was torn among the Noldor. Lots of relations between brothers.

In the uplands of Tol Eressea, there is a place devoted to memories of Middle-earth.

Círdan watches as the ship from Valinor reaches Mithlond bearing the Istari.

A late night meeting between cousins just before the Last Alliance.

Fingolfin enjoys what will be his last moment of peace with his family.

"But when the devouring wave rolled over the land and Númenor toppled to its fall, then [Elendil] would have been overwhelmed and would have deemed it the lesser grief to perish, for no wrench of death could be more bitter than the loss and agony of that day; but the great wind took him, wilder than any wind that Men had known, roaring from the west, and it swept his ships far away; and it rent their sails and snapped their masts, hunting the unhappy men like straws upon the water."

Númenor is sick. A lord out of the east comes bearing a cure - a leviathan that is also an ouroboros.

Some moments can still tell a full story.

It was a legend among the Sindar. It was said that Tilion loved Arien, but Arien did not love Tilion. Struggling with the pain of love unmet, Tilion implored to the Valar on behalf of all who were like him: let the lonely ones find a way to ease the ache, and help all who were left alone to find someone of their own.

A collection of one-shots based on random word prompts.

(Glorfindel/Erestor)

As had now become his habit, Glorfindel strode in to Erestor's office with nary a knock or warning, and proclaimed: "I told Celegwen that we are together."

Erestor looked up from his work. "The persistent archer?" he asked placidly, despite the fact that he and Glorfindel were most definitely not, to his knowledge, together. "I see. What did she say?" 

...or the five times Erestor let them pretend to be a couple, and the one time that they didn't.

A chance meeting at the edge of a cliff. A conversation on death and old age, the mysteries of the Secondborn, and the choice of the Half-Elves.

Sequel to Arda Marred

In Valinor, a former high king and his herald come together for tea and conversation.

(Gil-galad/Elrond, Elrond/Celebrían)

It was love at first sight, certainly. Glorfindel only wondered that it took him this long to find himself in that moment - past three ages in a land so changed, looking up at a stranger standing at a balcony.
