Lissa asked me to write a followup to Fell Memories for her birthday "drabble" - she gets a series of 12 to mirror the other story. The story so far: Aragorn, on his way out of Gondor after the Corsair raid, was captured by Nazgul and casually tortured as he was being brought to Dol Guldur. He did not reveal who he was, even though hard pressed. He escaped in a way that, I hope, was reasonable and not superhuman. He sw

bullet Yule 2006 Challenge - Gwynnyd's stories by Gwynnyd Last Updated: 1/7/2007
A member of my beta group proposed a "Twleve Days of Tolkien" Challenge, complete with a song to give the prompts. I never could resist that kind of challenge. Some of these are silly, some are serious. Some follow the prompt closely. Some give it a very unusual slant. Thanks to Willow for proposing it! My drabble muse needed a kick start.

bullet Fell Memories by Gwynnyd Last Updated: 10/13/2006
Though Aragorn left Gondor in the triumph of the Corsair defeat saying he planned to spend his time working against the enemy, he arrived at Lothlorien less than three months later 'on his way to Rivendell' and 'weary'. Would such a short time in the Wild 'weary' the intrepid Ranger, or did something much more drastic occur during the 'perils on the dark confines of Mordor"?

Rated adult for violence.

How do you convince a boy to stop skipping school when he doesn't know he's supposed to grow up to be king?

" ... it seemed to the eyes of Legolas that a white flame flickered on the brows of Aragorn like a shining crown." The Two Towers Aragorn had hidden in the shadows and used other names all his life, and yet he claimed his heritage openly before Éomer that morning on the plains of Rohan. Had something happened during the long watches of the night before?

Aragorn probably returned home to Rivendell at least once between leaving at age twenty and heading home from Gondor when he was forty-nine. What did Arwen see when she looked at him then? I think he was a sweet-talking devil she could never quite pigeonhole. For obsidianj who wanted a drabble about Aragorn as Strider or Thorongil and got me thinking about names. It's a bit longer than a drabble. And thanks to Rivergirl for the beta.

Juno-Magic and Aranel Took offered a Yule challenge in 2005: a different prompt to write about for each day of December leading up to Christmas as "mathom" presents for everyone. I took up the challenge and wrote something for each suggestion. Some of these twenty-four chapters are silly, some are serious, all were a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy them!

A Corsair raid must have been a very frightening experience for the villages along the coast. It must have been reassuring to know that their sea-savvy Prince could be counted on to help them. A drabble series featuring a 'piratey Imrahil'. A birthday present for EdorasLass. Many thanks to Tanaqui for the beta, and a passing nod to Kipling for some inspiration.

The scenes leading up to the Council of Elrond have a lot of unanswered questions. Why didn't Elrond know where Aragorn was during Frodo's feast, or that his sons had returned? Who arranged that very odd head table seating and why? Where was Boromir that he could show up "in the grey morning" just in time? And why did Aragorn bring Narsil to the Council meeting anyway? With many thanks to my long suffering beta readers - Marta, Arandil, RiverOtter and Patti, and to Tanaqui as well. For Starli

For anyone who has ever commented on any of my stories, thank you! This is for you. Seven drabbles of quest. I am a very fortunate person in that I have some of the best beta readers in the business commenting on my writing (your mileage may vary on this issue). I came to this fandom as a new and very scared author about a year and half ago, and I know I have improved as a writer ten-fold due to the willingness of people to take time to comment on my work.

Hiding a vulnerable princeling from enemy eyes and concealing his identity until he's grown are certainly the stuff of legends. But even if the legend is true, it probably does not tell the whole story. Would Gilraen have preferred to raise Aragorn as his father's son and not hidden his identity? Would Elrond expect Aragorn's mother to come with him to Rivendell, or would he believe it easier to hide the boy from Replicas de relojes españa, mejor i
