    Summary

    Cormallen, shortly after victory. The King of Rohan needs a wife - at least this is what his advisors tell him. Repeatedly. But certainly not a flighty social butterfly. Or a girl straight out of the schoolroom. Meanwhile, the last thing the youngest princess of Dol Amroth wants is a husband. She has far more interesting plans.

    Or, to put it another way, what happens if you put my Aussie Rohirrim from "Howzat" into Gondorian high society loosely modelled on Georgette Heyer's regency England, with a Lothiriel inspired by Hedy Lamarr, star of the silver screen and mathematical genius. (And an Ivriniel also based on someone from real life... but we'll get to that later in the story.)

    Part of my "Silk Road" series, sequel to Howzat, and Dear Diary.

    Summary

    Elan Caledon, headstrong and determined, was born on Denon to wealthy diplomat parents. They wanted her to train as a politician in their path, but Elan was quick to join up with the Resistance in an rash attempt at independence and selflessness. She secured a job on D’Qar as an archivist documenting the war efforts, something especially needed after the destruction of Starkiller Base. Who better to set her straight on all the details other than one of the pilots, the self-proclaimed best pilot in the Resistance, who was responsible for the mission’s success? That is, if she doesn’t kill him herself first…

    ***This was originally intended as a Poe x Reader fic, but I could not get the structure right B( plus there are way too many good ones out there and I'm intimidated. But I hope you like Elan.
