Eärillë

Greetings! Here is Rey, a lover of crossovers and many more... I am a 24-year-old female from Indonesia, prefering to use UK dialect when writing English and US dialect when speaking English, and hoping to learn more languages still. I use a screen reader to do things on the computer, as I am blind, so I'm sorry if there are silly spelling errors that I do not manage to catch; they might be homophones. I love J. R. R. Tolkien's works, although some of them are admitedly too dark for my taste. (And reading The Silmarillion was quite a painful experience initially with all those old-fashioned and flowery language, given the fact that I am an EFL speaker and learnt English nearly by myself.) I love crossing them over with other people's works, though, mainly The Harry Potter Series; you can find those in my other accounts. Other than here, I have works strewn in many places. I am: * Virodeil in Many Paths To Tread, Harry Potter FanFiction, FanFiction.Net, FicWad, and LunaEscence; wind rider in Lord of the Rings FanFiction, Shur'tugal FanFiction, and Silmarillion Writers' Guild; I might have forgotten nsomething from the list above, though... I hope to see you all around the site and enjoy this excellant archive together. Rey

  For SWG's Birthday Celebration in 2010. We know how the Vanyar are so few in number and so solemn, but not why.

• The Imperishable Flame

  For Teitho May 2010. "Mothers." Nominated on MEFAwards 2010. History always repeats itself, in big matters as well as small ones. But it is not always akin to the adage “Even donkeys never fall into the same hole twice.” Something good can come out of it, sometimes. Gilraen was a living testament of it.

• Brother Mine

  They say, even in the darkest of times and nightmares there is always a light, a silver lining, a hope… It comes in many forms and often in the most unexpected places, events and situations. It was well known by Erestor and Ereinion, as they were struggling to find their places and roles in the dying society of Elves in Beleriand and making an effort in order to stay alive, starting in the end of the First Age and continuing to the ages beyond. (Thanks for MysteriousJedi and KyMahalei for beta-reading this story! It is being revised now, by help of WendWriter. (Thanks too, Wendy!))

• Sacrifices

  For Teitho January 2010. "The Price of Freedom." Nominated on MEFAwards 2010. Sacrifices buy freedom, but at what price? “In this tainted world the measure of the worth is determined by the measure of the sacrifice, son of Arathorn.” A tiny gap-filler before the Fellowship left Rivendell.

• Olórë Malë

  For Teitho October 2009. "Weird Tales." Nominated on MEFAwards 2010. Legolas and Aragorn experienced something together but refused to talk about it to each other, at all... How does one separate which is dream and which is not? A twisted parody of what the title should have meant. (Yes, I am evil.)

• Ringil: the Maiden of Many Names

  Aragorn is a tough man of fifty, grim and unpenitrable. But he is not all invinsible to everyone, as people in the common room of the Prancing Pony will find out, and Barliman the inn-keeper too, in a particularly-nasty rainy winter day. Who manages to crack the Ranger's impassivity and in what way? Someone will answer those question before Barliman's eyes. This is a collection of three one-shots around the same event but from different point of views. 1: Barliman the Inn-Keeper. 2: Aragorn the Strider.

• The Unknown

  A daughter was rather rare in the House of Finwë. Out of the 24 family members (the wives not counted), there were only 5 females. So how would a daughter be received in one of the lucky families in the House? Especially if she was the last child of her generation... A small snippet about a peaceful (...or not) existence in Valinor before the death of the Two Trees and the rebellion.

• I Remember

  For Teitho July 2009. "Competitions." Legolas, by help of a new friend in a new land, remembered the past and the land he had left behind, alongside the people he had been parted with. A little game was what it took to remember them, and to let go of them also.

• First Impression

  Erestor’s dream was coming true. He went to Doriath and saw it for himself. But the reality exceeded his wildest expectation – for the good, thankfully. A light little snippet about Erestor's Elflinghood. A companion piece to my story Brother Mine.

• Without a Past

  He lost the one dearest to him by his mere existance. He lost his childhood in a childish hope of gaining his prize back. And he lost his remaining, other prize for a stranger. A short take of the first death in Aman from a child's point of view. (Continuation is probable.)

• We Speak through Music

  For Teitho June 2009. "Strange Encounters." Nominated on MEFAwards 2010. How did the Ents learn their unique, beautiful language? Surely not from the Elves? Because if the Elves did teach them, then Legolas must have known about it… Fangorn hid many secrets, indeed, but not all of them were only about the old, old forest of his realm. Legolas and Gimli were lucky; they got the privilege of knowing about one of the most important secrets to be ever shared by the Ent kind.
