New and Updated Fiction

The story of a young eagle: how and why she made her way from Valinor to Beleriand.

"What has so shadowed thy spirit? What is this wound thou bearest which I can neither bind nor soothe?"

“The cruelest wound, from which I shall never heal."

Upon his return from Númenor, Eönwë has memories to face, conversations to have, and old companions to meet.

Celebrimbor offers himself to Sauron in exchange for the safety of his city and his people. He is resigned to any number of fates, but what Sauron actually wants from him is a mystery.

While Celebrimbor learns how to live again, the remnants of Sauron's destroyed spirit are drawn to his presence. But when Sauron realizes who and where he is, Celebrimbor doesn't react at all how he expects.

Mairon is an enigma - but a beautiful one. Eönwë has never wanted anything so much in his life.

Lindon and Eregion clash over how to handle Númenórean deforestation. Ost-in-Edhil is buiding up to its own internal strife. But for Elrond and Celebrían, for this one moment in time, everything is perfect.

During the War of Wrath, Sauron encounters an Eönwë down on his luck and lends a helping hand. At the end of the war, their positions are reversed. Eönwë only wishes a helping hand would be enough for Sauron.

Instead of merely hiding the Three Rings, Celebrimbor decides to destroy them. This places him directly in Sauron's path again, for better or for worse.

It is the night of Tirion's masked ball. Fëanáro is after Artanis' hair, Artanis is after a distraction, Macalaurë is deploying all his wiles, and Findaráto is just trying to have a nice time.

Orodreth finds comfort and renewal in the arms of Adanedhel.

"Heat crawled over the side of Celegorm’s body where Finrod’s shoulder brushed it, but he smirked. He had no wish to wrest the crown of Nargothrond from his cousin, not yet. Finrod was a competent leader, and beloved. Better to leave the Kingdom in his hands — and for Celegorm to hold Finrod in his."

Eärendil returns to Sirion after his latest sea voyage, and Elwing's anxieties about her pregnancy are soothed in the loving arms of her husband.

“Oh,” Elwing said faintly. She felt the need to sit down, but locked her knees against it. “Then—have they been released from Mandos, my lord? I had not heard that you came in person to deliver such news.”

“They have not, not yet,” said Námo, and to Elwing’s surprise his mouth softened into a small smile, there and gone again in the blink of an eye. “Your brothers are still very young; Mandos is not a place for children to grow. They are ready to return to the world, but unlike most others who pass through my halls they cannot make the journey across Valinor alone. Come to the gates of my halls with all swiftness, and you will find your brothers there.” He inclined his head, and was gone.

Andreth opens up to Aegnor, sharing something of her people and their past.

At the time of the Darkening, widowed Indis, having left Tirion, asks her daughter Findis to accompany her to Valmar. 

Lalwen's last stand and her defiance.

The historian Pengolodh, faced with the destruction of his city, rescues what he holds most dear.

There may be an afterlife, but there is no final version of the Silmarillion.

Neither its in-universe author nor its IRL author are the kind of writers that just finish a work and then move on...

Maedhros gets a reward for a job well done.

Andreth should hate him, and yet they end up in each other's arms once again.

Maglor receives treatment for his shortcomings.

Thuringwethil expected she had signed her doom when she let the princess of Doriath go free. But she may have saved herself in the process.

Amarie would appreciate Finrod being less of a distraction. At least he's willing to help fix the problem he caused.

Maglor encounters Maedhros in an unexpected place. His explanations are not satisfactory.
