New Challenge: Allusive
Literature and art constantly refer back to each other using allusions, and this month's prompts are inspired by allusions to literature, myth, art, and history.

Legolas is tasked by Ulmo to travel to Gondolin to make sure history does not again deviate from Eru's plan.
This is a time travel AU wherein Legolas Greenleaf and Legolas of Gondolin are the same person.
Written for the My Slashy Valentine Swap 2021.

Huan helps Lúthien escape from Nargothrond--everyone knows that--but he doesn't do it alone.

A series of short pieces designed to respond to the Utopia challenge and surrounding the building of Eregion.
It responds to this prompt:
"We have to build the Republic of Heaven where we are, because for us there is no elsewhere."
- Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass
But it also carries this quote in mind:
"There is no Zion, save where you are."
-- Tony Kushner, Angels in America

A modern AU centering around the house of finwë: who they are how they grow, and in the end, how they love. Mostly Russingon centric, but definitely involving other characters pretty liberally, especially the other feanorians.

Modern AU where Maglor lives and works in New York City as a bartender and musician. He fills his days with work and live music but the advent of a new exhibition at the library near his home brings back memories of more than his lost family. An unexpected encounter with a familiar looking stranger sets him on a different path.

Young Fëanáro doesn't like his baby half-brother. Until one particular day.

It's not the first pandemic Maglor sees.

After the not so untimely death of Ar-Pharazôn the kingdom of Númenor is now officially under the sole rule of Tar-Míriel. In practice, the position of the Faithful remains precarious and unpopular. She doesn't have the support to outright reverse her subjects’ misguided course, but now at least she has an opportunity to start fixing that.
Sauron’s powerbase is entrenched in Númenórean society, but it was based on the favour and support of the king. Openly acting against his nominal sovereign would endanger it. It was time to adjust his strategy.
Plotting ensues.

A collection of works written for B2MeM 2020.

Boodle’s Gentleman's Club was not normally a place of drama and excitement.

Ecthelion wasn't killed at the Fall of Gondolin but taken prisoner. When one of his fellow slaves gets sick, he decides to pay the price their overseer names for medicine.

Celebrían is very excited about the Midwinter feast and invites her cousin to come, but she discovers that families and holiday celebrations may become very complicated, particularly when a new acquaintance creates some conflict.
It is part of the Thû or Lady!Sauron 'verse.

Maglor is tasked with a mission.

Elrond runs into Maglor after the latter has a momentous conversation with Mithrandir.

Eluréd and Elurín are lost. They meet somebody in the woods, though. Perhaps they can all be lost together.

Finally, Gil-galad said, "Why did you come out here alone?"
Elrond didn't answer right away. He picked up a seashell and turned it over in his fingers. "I was—angry," he said finally. "It would not be befitting for the lord of Imladris to stand in the middle of Mithlond and scream at the sky, I thought."

Vignettes of relationships between Elves and Men, with the addition of one small detail.

Manwe invites Melkor to fly with him.
(Part of my Mighty Love-'verse where Melkor repents and is pardoned at the end of the Third Age.)

Dorthaniel's college professor gives her class a seemingly impossible homework assignment: turn a fragment of strange music from the Second Age into a modern score, and then explain its origins. Well, her guess is as good as anyone's!

Maglor makes a strategic retreat.

A series of outtakes from an AU about Sauron’s sojourn in Númenor in which Sauron is a lady (of sorts).

Celebrían and Mithrandir have a brief talk.
