Summary
Erestor’s sword is black with blood. A wave crashes up the steps to the terrace as another orc barrels toward him. He jerks back, too slow to parry. A flash. Cold like a blade of winter drives into his face and neck. Something is wrong. His grip falters. His head drops back, refusing his command. All he sees is the sky and elves falling around him. The world’s noise thins to a strange ringing, as if submerged underwater. Then pain erupts, scorching from brow to cheek to throat. Warm liquid spills down his face, blinding his right eye. His knees buckle and he falls. Something sweeps him into darkness. Grey skies drift away, walls rise, and oblivion takes him.
The tale of Erestor, of what was lost to war and what stubbornly survived. In Eregion he once lived, proud in the days of its splendor. Then came Sauron’s deceit, fire sweeping through beloved halls, all hope collapsing into ash and smoke. He fled into a world remade by grief, burdened with memories that cling like thorns. In Imladris he must gather the shattered pieces of his life, offering wisdom where once he offered joy. And perhaps, in the quiet places of that hidden refuge, he will discover something he never dreamed would be his again.

Summary
At the twilight of the Second Age, as Sauron's shadow lengthens, the Elven lords forge alliances in the oldest way: through marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his children to secure the future, his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to the legendary hero Glorfindel, and his son to the House of Oropher. However, Meríliel finds herself drawn to Oropher's grandson, Legolas, and their choices will force them to live with consequences through tragedy, pride and loyalty that will haunt their paths for centuries to come.
A telling of forbidden love, old grudges against the Noldor, tragedy and redemption, woven into the canonical history and politics of Middle-Earth, featuring original characters woven into the gaps of Tolkien's lore, expanding cultural and linguistic aspects along the way.
This story is updated weekly, mostly based on The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and The Fall of Númenor. Original lore is also contextualized when relevant, detailing tweaks for clarity.

Summary
In a world where Middle-earth and Earth have established diplomatic and academic relations, Alfred Pierson, a doctoral student at Harvard specialising in cultural trauma studies, finds himself unexpectedly hosted by Glorfindel, a legendary elven warrior and visiting professor from Imladris. What begins as a practical housing arrangement evolves into something deeper as they navigate cultural differences, academic challenges, and growing feelings for each other...
"I have wanted this," Glorfindel admitted softly, "for longer than I should confess."
"How long?" Alfred asked, his fingers still entwined in golden strands, marvelling at being permitted such intimacy.
A smile touched Glorfindel's lips—not the reserved expression Alfred was accustomed to, but something warmer, more open. "Since the night you fell asleep in the living room while reading that treatise on Sindarin dialectical variations. You had notes scattered around you, and your glasses had slipped down your nose. You looked... perfectly human, in the most beautiful way."
