Summary
Sam is going to save Mr Frodo and if he has to storm a tower alone to do so then he bloody well will.
There are however some things in this tower that Sauron seems to have forgotten about... Like a one handed throwback to the first age who'll be the perfect coach for not listening to cursed objects and has some considerable beef with a particular disembodied Maia.

Summary
The days following the coronation of King Elessar were hopeful and joyous for a country torn by war, but for many Gondorians, this new era of peace was tarnished by loss of loved ones and loss of livelihood. For Marilla, the widow of Hirluin, the Lord of the Green Hills, the nightmare she was living in worsened tenfold when the new king informed her that her husband's fief would have a new lord—all because she could not have children. Feeling alone and afraid, Marilla encounters her cousin, Boromir, and he not only offers her a place to live, but helps rekindle the flame of hope in her shattered heart.

Summary
For five hundred years, Rínior and Maedeth, the last descendants of Fëanor through his son Caranthir, have aided Arthedain in its war against Angmar.
Rínior protects the southern border as the famed Hero of the North. He will do anything to protect his wife and young daughter, but five hundred years is a long time to be surrounded by death and destruction. Despair nips at his heels. Elrohir cautions him to look for light amidst the endless darkness.
Maedeth serves the kings as a councilwoman and trusted emissary. She worries for her brother’s safety while sitting at home in a dying kingdom, but after five hundred years she is given a mission which she cannot afford to fail. Elladan refuses to leave her side, guarding her on her journey.
But the doom of Mandos is not far behind. With Celebrimbor dead, only the twins remain of Fëanor’s line. And perhaps in the twilight of Arthedain, the words spoken after the first kinslaying will finally come to fruition: “For blood ye shall render blood, and beyond Aman ye shall dwell in Death's shadow.”

Summary
Severus Snape and Lily Evans used to be friends. After their fight near the end of their fifth year at Hogwarts, they drifted apart as strangers. He had chosen his path, and she had chosen hers, never to meet again. But sometimes the story of two people isn't over after they go their separate ways. Not when their paths cross once more in the most unlikely of places. At the bottom of the Great Lake - and with a magic Ring for the taking.
In Middle-earth Severus and Lily must find a way back to each other, and learn about each other, while their disappearance off-sets a chain of events back in the wizarding world.
- This is a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover, and starts at the beginning of Lily and Severus' 7th year at Hogwarts in 1977.
- Snily endgame.
- Kémya is the 4th Ring of Power.
- Story takes place in both the wizarding world and in Middle-earth.
- NOT a 10th/11th walker story.
- NO character bashing. -

Summary
She was meant to stand at Thranduil's side, not to watch from afar. But such were the grey threads Vairë wove. Not a queen, but an envoy. Not beloved, but necessary. So she left, half sent, half willing, to lands where distance might dull the ache and silence could be kinder than remembrance.
Sometimes, departure is the only mercy left.
Yet, memory lingers, and duty binds. Across the leagues of plains and rivers, across the millennia of love and agony, she bears the grief of a Music dissonant.
This is the lamentation of Tatharel, Envoy of the Woodland Realm to Dorwinion and Rhûn, for all the things that cannot be.

Summary
She interrogates her memories as if they were soldiers returning from a campaign. It has been long years since she led anyone into battle herself - she has commanders of her own now who carry out the orders she gives from within her gold-wreathed forest - but at these times she remembers it all. Snow and camp-fire smoke, exhaustion, answers. How ruthless she’d been. How she hadn’t been ruthless enough.
Prompt for the word 'Memory' on Bluesky.

Summary
Her life was a rather large cage, yes, but a cage nonetheless. And every choice she made was another chip in its steel bars. She would bend them. Smash them. Shatter them into a million pieces, so they could never be rebuilt.
Thranduil was waiting. And she had promised to see him again.

"There are neither enough droplets in the sea nor stars in the sky that could outnumber the days I would spend in wait for you, Aínwar Firekeeper. I will love you until the end of this world and those that shall come thereafter — in every life, throughout every Age — so that, no matter how many times we are destined to meet, I will love you in all of them…and you will know to look for me."
