Maedhros and Fingon and a cherry tree: first in Mithrim and later in Valinor, outside the gates of Lorien.

Now added: Take Two: The Fell Winter

Gil-galad was an Elven King. We all know what this means, right?

Everything I'll never ever tell you.

AU in which the Ainur are a powerful magically/technologically advanced species and Ilúvatar was an invention to aid them in controlling the elves. Nothing that happened before the Awakening is necessarily true.

A lamentation for The Doom of Men by a Bard of Numenor

The sorrow of Finduilas still marks her grave. A stranger wanders through the woodland green and stumbles across the mound.

Just a scrap of not much of anything. For a Femslash Friday submission. Not very slashy even under a microscope. But if I say it is, it is. The requirements are actually flexible. Women liking women is sufficient. (Birthday girl, Zeen, I hope you do not think I am a cheapskate for doubling up a ficlet for you into a challenge entry!)

You call us less wise, but what do you know of Arda, children of Valinor? AKA 'What the Avari really think about the Noldor'
