Summary
Never have I ever written an ABO story, until now.
The usual suspects in a different setting but still having family dynamics from hell and so many grievances. Also, everybody is even younger and more confused than the last time. It is still Arda in spirit and custom but geographically it is more like Earthsea.
Like I feared, this turned out to be a somewhat epic endeavor, with a bunch of children craving attention, mysteries, agricultural problems, battles of different kinds, dreams, omens and portents, Dwarrow, fertility rituals, good and evil Valar and me being unexpectedly lenient towards Kings Thingol and Ingwë. And of course there are dragons, too.
There probably should be more sex, and less meetings, but there is a war to be waged and people to be saved, so busy parents have to take what they can get.
So, Prince Fëanáro is returning to the Isle of Tirion from a bout of island hopping....

Summary
Canafinwë, after arriving in Beleriand, wanders about the borders of Doriath, not remembering his past, and sings where Lúthien hears him. They both seem to be enchanted by each other.

Summary
Mae govannen na in-ennyn eryn! (Well met at the gates of the forest!)
Our story? A disenchanted NYC lawyer moves to rural Ireland, unintentionally entangling herself with the Wood-Elves of Hobbit fame that never departed Middle-earth. An Irish ex-con plus colorful friends soon follow and life is never the same. The deeds and achievements of the younger race of Men in all their splendor and horror unveil to the ancient, immortal and arguably stagnated race of Elves, leaving much to be explored of society, history, culture and beyond. More than two decades’ story time tell a tale of social collapse, families that grow under one very large roof, battles against past and present traumas, prejudices, and the slow return of the great First Age Elves to the light of day. Eru Ilúvatar had a plan for this world of Arda. Tolkien never elaborated. So a little voice said: "Go finish the Ainulindalë." And we respectively said: "Okay. I need tea."This fic has a Discord server, Aran Thranduil's Dining Hall. All readers are welcome: https://discord.gg/ywxmuHpXba . We lurk mostly 10am to 10pm Pacific Standard Time. Link not working? Please leave a comment on the fic and let us know so we can fix it!

Summary
You came to the Great Arda Games for diplomacy. You expected sportsmanship. Not the dwarven beard-gossip network. Not the squirrel mafia. Not the Maiar betting ring, or the Nazgul in a sunhat with an undetermined crush. Not the FPAC alliance performing coordinated cheating operations with the enthusiasm of a children’s theater troupe, or the ancient elven melodrama. Also, a troll has adopted you. And Legolas keeps standing way too close for your sanity.
Welcome to the Middle-Earth Olympics: an aggressively quasi-canon crackfic where every realm decided diplomacy was overrated, sportsmanship was optional, and chapter format is not guaranteed.

A Man Who Flies From His Fear May Find He Has Only Taken A Shortcut To Meet It by LadySternchen

Summary
For this month’s SWG-challenge ‘The Only Thing To Fear’, I tried something a little different- which was to write short ficlets for as many prompts as possible. (Admittedly, I wanted them to be drabbles at first, but I just couldn’t manage).
Some of these turned more into PTSD-stories than phobias, but I think it still fits the challenge.

Summary
“Since you so enjoy hurting maidens with that little appendage of yours, I can cut it off right now, and let you bleed out in agony… or you can tell me the words of binding that hold up your tower and keep shut your cells, and let stone lie upon stone with unrelieved weight, so that I can bring down this ghastly citadel, and free the one for whom I came."
Dark and twisted ficlets based on Tolkien's legendarium. Focuses primarily on the Geste of Beren and Luthien, and the relationships between Aragorn, Eowyn, and Faramir - as well as a generous serving of our favorite Lidless Eye.
Tags to be updated as needed.
Latest update, 11/15/2025: In the depths of Angband, Morgoth probes Luthien to find out just what sort of a prize bird he has caught.

The Haunting of Dol Guldur by Aikaterine
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022)
16 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Dol Guldur stands by itself, perched forebodingly atop a dark mountain and veiled by mist. Its turrets twist high, reaching for stars winking faint against a navy sky, battlements sprawling between them like jagged teeth. Inside, stone walls meet neatly, wooden floors hold firm and every great door remains sensibly shut. Whatever walks among its vast halls walks alone.

Summary
Just as Sauron's wolves were about to devour the first of Finrod's brave companions in the pit of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, time and the world stopped, and then turned. Sauron walked into the pit, calm, pensive, a profound and great light now contained within a mortal shell that was elven-fair. And then things became truly strange.
When you see that single discordant loose thread in the tapestry of a black fate, do you pull? Do you leap to unravel the blackness and the Marring, at the risk of unraveling everything you know about the world?
Or, in which Finrod did not die but had to become an ambassador of the most terrifying kind.
Sauron: you think YOUR job is exasperating?

Summary
The impossible happened: a Silmaril has been stolen from Morgoth’s crown. Maedhros decides to reunite the People of Beleriand against the Enemy and attack him while he is still unprepared, which is by no means less impossible. Meanwhile, in the hidden city of Gondolin, Lord Glorfindel of the Golden Flower pursues the meaning of his recurring dreams – only to realize that he is not the only one to see them...
|| A novel-length canon gapfiller on the Union of Maedhros, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the downfall of the Sons of Feanor; plus my take on what could have been going on in Gondolin between the Bragollach and the Nirnaeth. ||
