    Summary

    Galadriel has spent the last decade investigating a satanic cult and searching for their leader, Sauron, whom seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

    Worried about her physical and mental health, her co-workers and friends gift her with a long-term vacation to the island of Númenor, to get some well-deserved rest. There, she meets a mysterious, handsome stranger called Halbrand, who promises to turn her world upside down.

    Summary

    Galadriel’s just here for sun, sand, and a week of overdue chaos with her old friend group. The kind of vacation you swear you’ll plan every year but never do. She’s got her sunglasses, her reading list, and a firm plan to ignore anyone who threatens her peace.

    Unfortunately, one of those threats just showed up - uninvited, sun-kissed, and wearing a smirk she hasn’t seen in years.

    Now she’s stuck with him for seven days of beach games, group dares, and dangerously nostalgic tension.

    And the thing is? Galadriel has never been able to back down from a challenge.

    Summary

    The music school AU no-one knew they needed till now!

    Éowyn Earl is the star horn player in her year, simultaneously wrestling with the demons of her past, struggling with her current crush on violinist Aragorn Walker, and wondering what to do about the hideous professor Wykeham King who is making everyone’s lives miserable. Meanwhile, in the background, gradually coming into focus, is a very talented pianist, one Faramir Hurin.

    A journey through healing, redemption, friendship - and a bit of revenge. Plus a very slow burn relationship. And a love-letter to my favourite orchestral instrument.

    Inspired by ElrondScribe's brilliant Silmarillion music school AU.

    No resemblance to any actual musicians intended, considerable liberties with my representation of the RNCM. Indeterminate time-frame: a bit like the Manchester of my teens (and its often unfortunate social attitudes); in other respects more up-to-date. The Mancunian rain is entirely accurate, however, and I make no apology for that.

    Complete with playlist and epic author's notes.

    NB - rating increased to E. I will mark the chapters in question so you can skip those bits (if you want M).

    Summary

    Sauron is returned to Middle-earth - not as a Dark Lord, but as a man. Stripped of power, bound in flesh, and given one last chance.

    A weapon to wield, or a mistake waiting to happen.

    His warden? Galadriel.

    The past is not so easily severed. And the future? That remains unwritten.

    But the world is ending. And even the brightest light may have to embrace the shadow.

    Summary

    Valandil reaches a hand over. “Let me try?”

    The lighter is warm. So is his friend’s hand. Isildur gives up the lighter easily, accepting defeat and biting the side of his thumb where the hot metal wheel stung him. Their eyes meet for a second, and Isildur is quite a sight, big brown eyes and thumb halfway in his mouth. Valandil almost feels sick to see it.

    Miraculously, he gets the lighter with only one click, and resists the urge to tease Isildur even further as the flame sparks up between them. Instead, he just leans his hand over to spark up the edge of the twisted paper held between Isildur’s fingers. An image flashes across his mind, of men in old movies lighting each other’s cigarettes, but he pushes that away: he isn’t in a Hays Code era movie but the backseat of his best friend’s car. Just two buddies lighting up together. There are no homosocial undertones in real life anyway, right?

    Summary

    A friend (you know who you are) said someone should write from Berek's POV, so I thought I'd give it a shot. A shoutout to other friends who informed this writing as well, I'm so grateful!

    It basically follows his time in Middle Earth that we've seen so far in the show, with some other inserted moments to flesh out the narrative of his experience.

    Who doesn't love Berek, am I right?

    Summary

    At last, joy and light had touched the kingdom of Ithilien. They had grown weary of seeing Isildur, one of the kings of Gondor, brooding since their exile to Middle-earth three years earlier. Anárion and Elendil were happy to see Isildur smile and breathe the joy of life for the first time in fifty years, since his separation from Estrid. Today, the people were happy to finally celebrate a joyous event, the marriage of their leader.

    Summary

    He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.

    “When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”

    “For violence and depravity?” she shot back.

    “For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”

    Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

    Summary

    An avalanche had been set into motion. There was nothing that could stop it now. It would rush over her and drown her and there was nothing Míriel could do anymore but let it all play out.
    Her defiance reared like a wild horse at that thought, however, not wanting to succumb to the inevitable. There must be something she could do. For herself and for her people.
    She needed to check which alliances she still held.

    Míriel never, never wanted to be surprised like that again. And she never wanted to have her private space invaded unbidden again, not by Pharazôn, nor by anyone else. Rational thinking took over and banished the whirling fear in her stomach.

    There was one person who could help her.
