Of Hearth and Home by Itarille |
Last Updated: 1/10/2025 |
| As Faramir takes up his duties and prepares for the King's return, those around him quietly care for him. A later chapter in this story will include that kiss on the wall—how could it not? This story is a companion piece for “Of Claim and Councils”, though each story can be read separately.
[With gratitude to Raksha the Demon for reviewing the draft of Chapter 1, and for her wonderful Lord of the Rings fanfiction—which, after all these years, still makes me happy whenever I re-read it] |

The Unquenchable Light by Virtuella |
Last Updated: 1/1/2025 |
| Many years ago, I wrote a silly little story about Aragorn and Arwen planning their daughter’s wedding, and for this I invented a character called the Archseraph of Kûz, a ridiculously wealthy country far to the East of Gondor which, so Aragorn says, “nobody even knew existed twenty years ago.” But all things are connected, and this is the story of the role that Kûz played in the war against Sauron. I have used what little is known in canon about the remote East of Middle-earth, and then greatly |

The Tenth Walker by Lindelea |
Last Updated: 12/18/2024 |
| Bill the Pony gave my elbow yet another nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. Chapters are about as long as a pony's attention span. New: Considering the next move.

Hello Authors Posting at SoA! by Lindelea |
Last Updated: 12/15/2024 |
| This is not a story but a suggestion (warning?) to double-check your story summaries using the editing function. Look carefully at any stories in your list of published stories where the bottom-line information (Rating/Reviews/Status/etc.) is offset to the side. When I scrutinised my affected summaries in the edit box, I found text or coding had been added to the summary that was "invisible" on the home page display but showed up in the edit box. I worry that it might be some sort of malevolent |

Destiny's Child by Mirkwoodmaiden |
Last Updated: 12/4/2024 |
Éowyn is an endlessly fascinating character to me. This is her story, to my mind. This story will eventually merge with my story of Faramir, "Bound by Duty; Bound by Joy" where they meet. It is her story in that story arc. The first chapter was inspired by Lindelea asking about how Éowyn became a Shieldmaiden.

Eä's Redemption by AaronSecret |
Last Updated: 11/27/2024 |
| This is my new poetical attempt to add my own interpretation to Tolkien's Cosmology as to Eru's Creation and the Valar's minds and behind-the-scene providence reasons and mechanisms..
I often review Eä as part of our own world, just in another dimension, this is why I have always seriously thought on the matter who the Ainur are, who Eru is, how he matches our own religious pantheon, and this has been conducted after serious research of many esoteric teachings of our own planet's heritage.
