Summary
A year has passed since Legolas and Elrohir were wed beneath Greenwood’s leaves, their love steady as light through the trees. Peace has lingered, fragile and golden, but peace seldom lasts.
When autumn deepens, they journey west beyond the forest, seeking quiet roads and the simple beauty of the mortal world. Yet the land feels changed, heavy with silence. In a small village wrapped in mist, whispers rise of seregrog—blood spirits said to descend from Thuringwethil’s brood, thought long vanished from the world.
What begins as unease becomes fear, and fear becomes truth. Something walks by night, unseen but watching, drawn to light, and to love that burns too brightly.
Together, Elrohir and Legolas must face what lingers in the dark, where desire and death entwine, and the line between beauty and horror blurs. For where the light falters, shadows remember, and evil waits to be named again.

The Linguistic Situation of Third-Age Middle Earth by wonn

Summary
The Red Book of Westmarch makes it clear that Middle-Earth was a very linguistically diverse location; however, much of that diversity is not shown in the narrative itself, which portrays characters as speaking 'Westron' or 'the Common Speech' among each other. This seems difficult to believe given Middle-Earth as the book describes it, and is much more likely a device for narrative convenience rather than an accurate portrayal of the situation. This paper attempts to look beyond the conceit of Westron to discern what the linguistic situation in late Third Age Middle-Earth likely actually was, and what that can tell us about what might have actually happened when characters in the Red Book interacted with each other.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins understands a lot about his part of the world. The other parts are up for debate. Especially with Westron. He knows his mother would be turning in her grave if he turned this down because he couldn't understand everything that was being said, but is it really worth putting up with the suspicious nature of dwarves? Is it really worth the risk of all of Middle Earth finding out the only secret left?
