Summary
Uuna Dapifer is the competent, level-headed Seneschal of the White Tower, carrying out orders from the King’s Steward, managing the household for Lord Denethor and his sons, and handling the day-to-day management of the citadel of Minas Tirith. The High Captain has been gone for months on his absurd errand to Imladris, and now his brother has had another one of his dreams and is convinced Boromir is dead. This is completely ridiculous and Uuna is tired of it, so she’s just going to add “rescue Boromir” to her to-do list and it’ll get taken care of, just like she does for everything else. Meanwhile, there’s a war on.

Summary
“Elrond, please don’t—you will get yourself drunk, and it will only get worse later.”
Elrond chuckled.
“The last time I checked, Peredhels can’t get drunk at all. I’d say humans are luckier, able to get wasted from time to time.”
Maglor didn't mean to visit, and Elrond didn't mean to cry in the midnight. They did anyway.

Summary
Severus Snape and Lily Evans used to be friends. After their fight near the end of their fifth year at Hogwarts, they drifted apart as strangers. He had chosen his path, and she had chosen hers, never to meet again. But sometimes the story of two people isn't over after they go their separate ways. Not when their paths cross once more in the most unlikely of places. At the bottom of the Great Lake - and with a magic Ring for the taking.
In Middle-earth Severus and Lily must find a way back to each other, and learn about each other, while their disappearance off-sets a chain of events back in the wizarding world.
- This is a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover, and starts at the beginning of Lily and Severus' 7th year at Hogwarts in 1977.
- Snily endgame.
- Kémya is the 4th Ring of Power.
- Story takes place in both the wizarding world and in Middle-earth.
- NOT a 10th/11th walker story.
- NO character bashing. -

“I endured all of it,” she reiterated, ”and for what?! Hum?! For you to be so ungrateful that you call me selfish just because I hid it from you?!“
Without thinking about her words, waiting only for the opportunity to reply, I shouted: ”So you did all of it so I would be in your debt?!“
”Of course not!“ she yelled, a little louder than before. ”I just wish that you would at least realise how hard it has been for me to manage all three of you!“✧❀✧❀✧
Olivia and Belle have always been there for each other. Despite their chaotic childhood, they are both struggling to live an ordinary life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, haunted by their trauma.

Belle is a die-hard Lord of the Rings fan, while Olivia has only once seen those movies and never opened those books. But now, they are to face evil and depart on a quest to Mordor. During this travel, secrets are to be revealed as the sisters try to discover how they came to this other world. Will they succeed in the journey?

Summary
Éowyn and Faramir both awaken in the Houses of Healing, following the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Faramir faces an uncertain future as the new Steward of Gondor, and he struggles to confront his losses. Meanwhile, Éowyn is dismayed that she did not meet the end in battle that she desired, and struggles to see prospects for herself beyond death as a soldier. By chance, the two of them are drawn together. Will they find hope and healing in one another? How will they build a life and love together from the ruins of war and the crumbling of an age?
This is a detailed gap-filler & book-canon compliant story, detailing how Éowyn and Faramir built their relationship together in the Houses of Healing and beyond, into the Fourth Age. It is intended to be a slow burn with copious characterization, eventual romance, and context-appropriate spice.
The story is in-progress as of June 2025. I will update this description and mark complete when finished.

Summary
The days following the coronation of King Elessar were hopeful and joyous for a country torn by war, but for many Gondorians, this new era of peace was tarnished by loss of loved ones and loss of livelihood. For Marilla, the widow of Hirluin, the Lord of the Green Hills, the nightmare she was living in worsened tenfold when the new king informed her that her husband's fief would have a new lord—all because she could not have children. Feeling alone and afraid, Marilla encounters her cousin, Boromir, and he not only offers her a place to live, but helps rekindle the flame of hope in her shattered heart.
