New and Updated Fiction

When you need a stealthy archer, who you gonna call?

Yeah, yeah, Celegorm's the fairest of the Sons of Fëanor, but how many times does he need to hear it? Curufin cannot resist tweaking his brother's vanity.

For Huan, consenting once more to be her steed, had borne her swiftly hard upon Beren's trail.

 A grittier and more macabre version of the 'fairystory'. Warning: Contains some rather grotesque imagery.

Post Fourth Age. Maglor meets someone unexpected. Nominated in the 2009 MEFAs.

What secret hides in the forests that once sheltered Menegroth? Two elves go to see, directly after the War of Wrath.

Tyelperinquar/Tyelpo (Celebrimbor) and Aulendil (Annatar/Sauron) discuss brotherhood and the secret of the deep arts on an early summer evening in Ost-in-Edhil.

This fic, told from Celebrimbor's point of view, predates The Apprentice by about 240 years, give or take, but it's the same setting. Rating is Teen due to a touch of horror-lite.

MEFA 2008: Second Place, Villains, General.

Concluding a trilogy of stories about the history of the palantirí.  After his journey into the West Elrond makes a visit and returns a gift.

Where did the Arkenstone really come from, and why does it seem so strangely familiar? (Despite the subject most of this story is set in the Silmarillion period)

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

Finrod expects to hunt Morgoth and finds himself on a very different journey. He has company along the way.

After the Halls of Mandos some reunions are bittersweet

Second in a trilogy telling the history of the palantiri. In the dying days of Númenor the stones come into the pkeeping of Elendil's line

A very irreverent and heretical look at the Silmarillion Elves in terms of their "horticultural" potential. Has very strong sexual innuendo and adult language.  You have been warned. *Complete!

A short, eerie story combining English legend, barrow-wrights and the fate of Elven spirits which refused the Call of Mandos. 

A very light but ambitious confection written mostly for the author’s pleasure wherein JRR Tolkien’s male canon characters are cast in roles from Ian Fleming’s work.   Only the crazy plot belongs to the author.

Kindness matters.

Departure, to be followed by a return.

Aftermath.

Duty chosen above love.

"Not in a million years."

Duties, honour, faith.

Written for ALEC's October Challenge - Death and Undead Things

2009 MEFA 2nd Place Winner, Races: Elves: House of Finwe

A tale of Beleg's beginning: You are children of starlight, the water sang, the fairest and most favored of Ilúvatar's design. Great deeds will you bring forth upon the world. And he smiled and listened still, but in his heart, though born of starlight and culled from dream and song, he was a son of the wilderness who wist no sire but the wood, and he cared little for great deeds.

An elf perishes on the dread crossing of the Helcaraxë.
