Fëanor and Nerdanel, by a river, when everything was still wonderful.

None came there–but the breath that filled the pipes wailing through the air was as real as his own, which he now inhaled in shallow gasps.

Lómion is drawn by a haunting music in the depths of Nan Elmoth.

Lindir is too good at music to be a nobody and young Arwen has a confused Lúthien complex. Crackship treated seriously.

Instadrabbles for the August-September 2022 SWG Challenge, Restoration and Rebuilding. 

Present day. Daeron has a boring office job, Maglor works for a children’s theatre school. They read dirty slash about themselves. Rated for the dirty slash.

Two great bards meet during the Sack of Sirion. Written for the SWG Challenge "On a Different Page." 

Prompt from Mythopoeia:

“Such isles they saw afar, and ones more fair, 

and those that hear them yet may yet beware.

and yet they would not in despair retreat, 

but oft to victory have turned the lyre 

and kindled hearts with legendary fire, 

illuminating Now and dark Hath-been 

with light of suns as yet by no man seen.”

In Ossiriand after Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Celegorm meets the Green-elf he deserves.
