Fatherless
For the Fatherless Pie - Cats in the Cradle - harpers - keen - afar - none - "The Orphan" prompt set
Read Fatherless
Findekáno pushed the food around his plate. He didn’t doubt the cooks had done their usual wonderful job. It was just that he had no appetite. Breakfast he’d managed – his dratted cousin had been only too right that he needed to get food into him to make up for last night’s ill-advised coping via alcohol. But that accomplished, he had little desire for food. The entire court was in mourning, him most of all. And much as he’d love to demand what in the name of Manwë his father had been thinking, he already knew the answer – he hadn’t been.
Panic In the Parlor, Howling In the Halls
For the Toad in the Hole - "There was panic in the parlour and howling in the hall" - They saw tiny rose cyclamens between their toes, growing / Where the slow toads sat brooding on the past. - Toad photo from Cornwall prompt set.
Read Panic In the Parlor, Howling In the Halls
Celebrimbor had just put his dinner to bake when he heard the commotion. His front door slammed behind someone in a great hurry – but before it did, he heard cries of dismay and fear outside.
“Tarindë? What is going on out there?”
“My lord, we are betrayed. Another ring has been made – one intended to dominate them all.”
“WHAT?”
“Annatar,” she said grimly. “He worked so closely with you on the nine. I suspect he learned as much as he taught.”
It could not be.
A few seconds with the Ring of Adamant proved it was.
Save what you can.

Read Seduction
“Why do you torment yourself so?”
Míriel did not dignify that with an answer. It wasn’t as if she had any choice in the matter. Not anymore.
“You have but to say the word, Queen of Númenórë, and you will be the most beautiful and most powerful Queen the world has ever seen.”
“Blasphemy.”
She was pleased that she sounded almost bored.
“Hardly. You give me so much to work with…”
“I give you nothing, Sauron.”
“Oh? Can you truly say you are not tempted?”
She was surprised he had waited this long to assail her with the images – or that he leaned more on the sex appeal than power. They both knew where the real power lay, and it was not with her.
The vision that pushed its way insistently into her mind was her, but taller, with longer and more lustrous hair, eyes elven-bright, skin unmarred by blemish, wrinkle, or scar. For all she knew, it was Lúthien herself he showed her.
He chuckled.
“It is not. She had smaller breasts. Mortals prefer their women more voluptuous.”
His smirk turned lecherous.
“I could tell you more about her. She did more than just dance for Melkor, you know.”
Seduction (etc.)
Interesting take on that attempt at seduction! Poor Miriel, assaulted with images.
I suppose that means Arwen may not have been all that "voluptuous" either. Not that I suppose Aragorn saw any problems.
The other drabbles that I read on Discord already are very good, too.
