New and Updated Fiction

Written for B2MEM 2017 and the March Strength and Beauty challenge: loosely linked tales of Galadriel's welcome in Alqualonde at the end of the Third Age.

Idril remembers, as she walks on the shore of Alqualonde.

Some time after Idril greeted Galadriel at the quay (see "Itarilde and Tani"), they, Elwing, and Nimloth get together for a good catch-up. They don't intend to run into Galadriel's uncles (and aunt) at the tavern...Lindar s the term the Teleri use for themselves.

What Elwing seeks at the end of their long ocean voyage.

A family meal in the last days of the First Age.

After being re-embodied in Aman, a Noldorin exile is faced with a difficult question.

Could Amras, son of Feanor, and Haldar, Haleth's brother, have met? 

I think they could--well, in my 'verse, at any rate.

Another glimpse of the early history of the Haladin, also featuring a very young Haleth. 

Written both for the "Strength and Beauty" challenge at SWG and for the Ambarussa day of Feanorian Week (Tumblr), although it features only Amras.

While living in Dorwinion, Maglor receives help in making a life-changing decision.

The tenuous relationship between the King and the Elendili is coming to its breaking point. When Isildur steals the fruit of Nimloth, what follows brings the already-heavy boot of tyranny down harder upon the Faithful - especially the gifted healer, Nilûphel.

They say Tyelkormo's first love was the forests and wild places. As ever, 'they' are wrong.

Caranthir does not trust easily and does not love easily, but Haleth told him in a different world they would be perfect.

In 1997, Maglor visits the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel shortly after the premiere, and one song in particular catches his attention.

Also featuring Fëanorian Stubbornness.

He is reborn in Valinor, and they assume he died because the Kindi were incapable of standing against Morgoth, especially after their King and Princes were not.

(The Noldor forget that their relatives weren't left behind on the March because they were incapable, but because they didn't wish to come.)

Morgoth sells the concept of swords to the elves through his minions.

(Ah, er, contains a canon error. Mairon was not in Valinor at the same time as the elves.
