• The Departure of Samwise by Leah Beth

• Celestial Quartet by Thevina

  Four vignettes spanning three ages of Middle-earth, multiple geographies and races, and several points of view.

Many of the characters are somewhat obscure and not in the pulldown menu, so in addition to those listed are these: Erendis, Tar-Meneldur, Gorbadoc Brandybuck, Mirabella Brandybuck.
