Summary
Some of the 'fanon' type biographies I've created for canon characters and original characters in the Desperate Hours AU, to use as 'cheat sheets' for myself, to help me remember: how I picture them in my mind's eye; how I've interpreted/changed Tolkien canon as it relates to them; how they relate to (and refer to) other characters; and various other details. Also, essays/discussions on other topics.

1. Character Notes for Elrond
2. Character Notes for Glorfindel
3. Character Notes for Thranduil
4. An essay on magic in the DH AU generally
5. Character Notes for Celebrian
6. A character bio for my original character, Ecthelion 'Theli' Diorchil, the grandson of Elurin Diorchil
7. Character bios of Theli's parents and siblings in the West
8. Character notes for Ereinion Gil-galad
9. Character notes re: Elrond’s sons Elrohir, Elladan, and Belemir (OC)

Summary
Forged by forgotten magic and shaped by the wisdom of ages, she was unlike any who walked the lands of Middle-earth. A witch born of shadow and light, she stood at Númenor’s heart—beloved, powerful, and timeless. But not even she could remain untouched by the quiet turning of fate.
When a mysterious man arrives with a name not quite his own, she is pulled into a tangle of shifting loyalties, uneasy alliances, and choices that ripple beyond the island’s shores. In an age of rising darkness, not all battles are fought with swords—and not all truths are easily seen.
This is a story spun from the edges of legend—of a witch, a world, and a choice quietly woven into the larger tapestry of Middle-earth.

Somebody Else's Rescue by Susana Rosa (SusanaR)
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types

Summary
Maedhros had given up on escaping from Angband himself. They never left him lightly guarded when he was hale enough to run. But that didn't keep him from plotting to help someone else.
Lirulin didn't know what to think when the red-headed thrall freed her and her family from their chains. But it gave them the chance to implement their laboriously planned escape attempt, so they didn't question their luck.
Later, after Lirulin was free, she drew a map of Angband for Fingon. Even though she thought he was crazy. To her joy, she soon learned of Fingon’s success, and then bore witness to his strong friendship with Maedhros.
This story can stand on its own, you do not need to have read any of the other stories in this series(es). None of the AU elements of my series as a whole preclude this story from working more or less within the general framework of canon.
