Our Lady of Perpetual Compassion, She of Sorrows and Succor by HerenorThereNearnorFar

Summary
"Few stories were told of Nienna, not because she was not loved, but because she was loved too much. Those elves who dwelled in Valinor knew her sorrows and did not pry at them. Her part in the stories of others was glossed over, her name whispered gently, her tale left unspoken and unrecorded. Such was the respect given to her, for all people might need pity some day.
If an exile from over the sea needed to learn, or a new child asked, they were shared only snippets of thought, memories, echoes of what was told perhaps only once long ago.
These were the things that were not said."

Bookmarker's Notes
“Among the bones of dinosaurs, the orcs made a home.“
Easily the most Tolkien-like sentence I’ve read in a fanfic. 11/10 -

Summary
"I’m only lightly armed and it’s just the two of us.” He had barely thought to bring a sword, the valley felt safe even under siege.
Erestor turned to stare at him from the shadow of an ancient oak, his eyes a-glitter in the low light. “You’ve fought wargs and orcs and all sorts of humans,” he pointed out. “And a balrog. You’re an army all wrapped up in one package. Come on.”
There was no point in arguing once Erestor got an idea in his head.

Summary
The water madness took Bella Baggins's mother. She's determined not to let it take her too.
Unfortunately, that's a lot easier said than done. Particularly on an adventure.
