"Move farther north," Caranthir says to her a month after the attack, gaze steady on her even as his hands continue briskly gutting fish. "There is plenty of land closer to my fortress, and my people can help protect yours if there is another attack."
Fëanor shrugged, studying the contents of his wine glass. “Something must be done about that house. It will fall down eventually.” “It does not follow that it must be you that tears it down single-handedly. Are you sure you do not want help?” “It’s not as though I…

Expanding on my 2018 article "Why People Don't Comment," comment data from the SWG underscores community as an essential component to a robust commenting culture.
By definition, fanworks fandom does not draw a lot of boundaries, but community archives and events have taken a strong stance against AI-generated fanworks due to ethical considerations and member input.
Bilbo, the strange old hobbit with the wandering feet, senses something special in young Frodo the first time he sees the lad; as they become close, they find in each other a cameraderie not well understood by other hobbits. Five poignant moments between Bilbo and Frodo Baggins over the course…

I enjoyed this story! Elros's eager volunteering is very endearing and the interaction between the Maiar and Valar are rather fun. Elros's lingering issues with his brother elicit sympathy, though. Thank you!
Well, as serious as the Akallabeth is, there had to be some light moments in the lives of the Edain. *grin* i am glad you enjoed this, Dawn, especially Namo popping up. Thanks for letting me know.
This was a fun read, full of humourous moments. I'll be looking forward to the rest of your Ak-in-Aug stories for more of the same. But despite the humour, it was nice to see Elros develop from the error-prone goof of his first appearance to the more competent leader of Men at the end, ready to step into his role as the great first king of Númenor.
Thanks, Darthfingon. I am glad you found this to be a fun read. I really enjoyed writing it, especially the humorous parts. Elros had much to learn before he could become the king his people needed. I do not think it was easy for him at first, as this story shows.
A very interesting story. I liked the images of the scythe. It must have been hard for Elros to adjust to his new life. I liked seeing things through Eowne's POV.
I loved this story. It was fun to see the events from Eonwe's perspective and how he grumbled about having to be the teacher. Elros was hilarious! But it was also very interesting to watch all the other variables playing into the story, like Elros' feelings of inadequacy, his relationship with Elrond, the Valar's pov... Very nice work!
Thanks, Fireworks. I am glad you enjoyed this. I like Eonwe very much and he appears in many of my other stories, especially in "Elf, Interrupted", which you can read over at SoA.
