Tolkien quote of the day:

"As a small token only of your friendship Sauron asks this," he said: "that you should find this thief," such was his word, "and get from him, willing or no, a little ring, the least of rings, that once he stole. It is but a trifle that Sauron fancies, and an earnest of your good will. Find it, and three rings that the Dwarf sires possessed of old shall be returned to you, and the realm of Moria shall be yours for ever. Find only news of the thief, whether he still lives and where, and you shall have great reward and lasting friendship from the Lord. Refuse, and things will not seem so well. Do you refuse?"

Gloin, The Council of Elrond, FotR

bullet Relapse by Periantari Last Updated: 9/29/2024
What if Faramir used being busy as an excuse and cover to how he really felt during and after the time of coronation? What if PTSD weighs down on him far more than he cared to admit and others failed to notice? A story to give him some comfort from the Fellowship, Imrahil and of course Éowyn. Appearances also from Galadriel, Arwen, Legolas, Gimli, Eomer and OFC. UPDATE 09/29/24 TWO chapters.

bullet The Unquenchable Light by Virtuella Last Updated: 9/28/2024
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

bullet The Tenth Walker by Lindelea Last Updated: 9/21/2024
Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony gave my elbow a 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: Some thoughts on the eating habits of hobbits.

bullet Eä's Redemption by AaronSecret Last Updated: 9/21/2024
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.

bullet Of claim and councils by Itarille Last Updated: 8/23/2024
Faramir hailed Aragorn as the King at the Houses of Healing. When Faramir found out he was now the Steward, and when Aragorn did present his claim to the crown of Gondor, did he still think and feel the same?

bullet A Horse for Bandobras by Lindelea Last Updated: 8/21/2024
Originally published in honor of the Professor's birthday, a series of drabbles, double drabbles and (perhaps) triple drabbles recounting how Bandobras, son of Thain Isumbras III, came to be remembered by history as being tall enough to ride a horse. Newly added 21 August: Story notes (in the form of a prologue) and Chapter 4.

bullet Let Sleeping Dogs Lie by Lindelea Last Updated: 8/16/2024
While in Minas Tirith after the end of the War of the Ring, surely the hobbits were showered with presents from a grateful populace, or at least the people tried to shower them with presents. This is the story of one awkward but lovable gift, and a unique solution to the problem. Final chapter added: Epilogue. Also added to the "Prologue and Explanation": a remembrance of Panda, who has joined Zoe on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

bullet Destiny's Child by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 5/30/2024
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.
