    Summary

    Iltáris' earliest memory was of her parents singing. The two sang of forests and mountains and lakes and dragons. Of gold and riches. Of love and losses. Of loss of home and culture. Of the loss of language.
    Eldarion's earliest memory was of his parents singing, they sang of elves and Rangers, of fallen kingdoms and magic realms that lay to the west.

     

    Maybe they were meant to be, both of lineages of old, maybe they were both destined to rule. The son of the Eldar and the queen of all folk.
    Here lies the story of the second king of the Reunited Kingdom and the origins of his mysterious queen.

    Summary

    They weren’t in love - at least, not yet. He was a sharp-tongued king with a crown too heavy and walls too high. She was the half-Maia healer who had no interest in royal airs or the rules of court.

    This collection focuses on the teasing and the tension between Thranduil and Elenariel, his future wife, before anything truly began.

    Summary

    Aragorn, having finished with bandaging Faramir’s ‘light’ stab wound, stood and laid his hand on Faramir’s bare chest. Meeting Faramir’s gray-blue eyes with his own, he reminded him, “Just remember, when you venture into danger . . .”

    “That I carry other hearts with me, as well as my own.” Faramir finished, laying his own hand on top of Aragorn’s. “I will do my best to remember.”

    Summary

    The war is over. The bureaucracy is not.
    There are many excellent reasons to send a Gondorian princess to Rohan.

    Trade negotiations. Diplomatic outreach. A noble gesture of post-war unity.
    Possibly even a quiet arrangement involving a marriage contract someone forgot to mention to the princess.

    Lothíriel of Dol Amroth arrives with ledgers, grain, and the deep, weary grace of a woman who ran an entire city during a war and still wasn’t allowed to sign things in ink. She expected the usual diplomatic friction. She did not expect mud-slinging (literal and otherwise), misplaced marriage rumors, or Éomer King glaring at her like a badly translated poem.

    He expected a new trade agreement. Instead, he got a princess, armored in courtesy and extremely unimpressed.

    Summary

    After the War of the Ring, Gimli and Legolas travel deep beneath the Ered Mithrin in search of forgotten Dwarven halls. But the stone remembers too much—and the paths twist where they should not. Lost in a labyrinth carved by grief and flame, the companions are tested by fatigue, silence, and voices that echo through more than just the halls. As their strength fails, and their bond is frayed thin, the labyrinth whispers: “Who said you could rest?”
    But stone does not break. And elves do not fade. Not while they have each other.

    Summary

    Merry Brandybuck is clever, charismatic, and quick with a joke, but Marigold Gamgee does not think of him “that way,” until he comes back from his adventure.

    PREVIEW:

    They talked of many things: of Mr. Bilbo, dearly departed but not gone, and of Buckland, where she had never been, but where boats were plentiful and Mr. Frodo and Mr. Merry had many mutual acquaintances. And they talked of her training as a midwife, for both Mr. Frodo and Mr. Merry were unabashedly enthusiastic about her future.

    But [Marigold] never thought of him that way – though he certainly seemed to think of her.

    Whenever he visited and would pass by the kitchen, or whenever she entered the parlor bearing a tray, he would raise his strong, well-shaped eyebrows and ask, “Oh, Mari, when are we going to go for a walk, you and I?”

    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

    An unusually windless evening in Ithilien brings four companions around a table — and a pile of games, each drawn from their homelands.
    As dice clatter and laughter spills, Boromir is thrown back into memories of his childhood, when Faramir was just a swaddled mystery in a cradle, and every day felt like a game of luck and risk.
    From wooden soldiers and whispered lullabies to dwarven gold and Perudo bluffing — this night is a love letter to brotherhood, rivalry, and the way old habits return around firelight.

    Summary

    Elves were not made to endure the horrors of war, their souls are too soft and their hearts too easily broken. Even so, some are more bothered by it than others. Following the end of the Ring War, it comes to the attention of his friends that perhaps Legolas is more troubled than he lets on. They rush him home, and hope he can be saved before his only option is to sail west.
