But the Great Sirius Orion Black has other plans.
Plans that may or may not be obstructed by definitely foreseen circumstances.
But He’s nothing if not versatile.
And Cordelia Methers is the perfect shock factor he needs. -

Summary
In 1968, 15 year old Eimear O'Rourke decided she wanted to become a rockstar. So, like any sane person, she dropped out of school and hopped on the next boat out of Rosslare. She later became one of the faces of rock and roll, with her band, Weavers of Fate.
Now, for the first time in over 20 years, the band has agreed to speak out about the short lived sensation, including never-before-seen diary entries from the days leading up to her untimely death. -

Summary
Gledswith, daughter of Gálmód’s whole world was rear-ended over the span of two weeks. One minute, she’s content scraping a living with the other creatives on the streets on Edoras, while simultaneously trying to overthrow her tyrant of a brother, Gríma Wormtongue.
The next, she’s on the run from the law, injured and without a sword or horse in the wilds west of the Gap of Rohan.
Upon meeting the future steward of Gondor in less-than-desirable circumstances, she finds herself roped into a plot to save the world through the destruction of an evil piece of jewellery, with an Elf, a wizard, a dwarf, four hobbits, and the heirs of what appears to be the two most prestigious houses in all the kingdoms of men!
And if that’s not bad enough, she has FEELINGS?!A generic tenth walker fic, but a Boromir ship is always a plus

Summary
People disappear all the time. Most are found, eventually and disappearances, after all, have an explanation...usually.
Emma Baird falls asleep outside an unusual set of ruins while camping in the Irish countryside. When she wakes, she finds herself being chased through unfamiliar trees by creatures torn out of her worst nightmares and no way home.
Maybe she should have listened to her friends and finally read those books instead of solely relying on her movie knowledge to guide her.

Summary
A man from modern day America wakes up to find himself in Westeros, years before the show's start. As a fan (and to an extent, realist), how will he act according to the future he knows is coming?
I'm withholding any relationship tags or archive warnings to avoid giving too much of the game away. Hope you can forgive me!
*Currently on writing hiatus. As of 12/24/2024, 4k out of 100k words written. Sooo...this isn't the Christmas present/update I wanted to give you. Due to family life, unexpected happenstance and the general exhaustion of politics in 2024, I didn't write nearly as much as I usually do. Not even my own stuff. I do apologize for that.
With that, I still plan to finish this thing. I still plan to write the 100k words and I believe there's no reason I can't finish that in 2025. It will just be much later in 2025 than I was hoping. Again, my apologies. Have a good holiday if you can, everyone. See you for a later update. Hopefully with a much higher word count.

Summary
Falling into Game of Thrones after being hit by a car was not something Alice Grant planned for, but she knew how the story ended, she knew who ended up on top. She'd stay beside House Stark to ensure her survival, and with the help of her collection of books and old notes, she's sure she can find a way to make herself useful.

Summary
Yara is a Syrian refugee, and life doesn't get much shittier than that, does it? Unless you're a Syrian refugee who suddenly finds herself in a place where no one understands what she's saying, there is no wi-fi, and how did she even get there? Through all the gloom the stars are twinkling, just like the eyes of the people around her.
A good fic if you like elves, language barriers, and OC's who break the mould. Not as depressing as the tags seem. Actually quite uplifting. Not a mary-sue, and not a tenth-walker. I am writing this for my own pleasure, and the plot meanders. It's mostly just an excuse to spend a lot of time in Middle-Earth with the elves, and you're very welcome to join me! :)
This takes place entirely in the Third Age, but has become full of First Age-references and contexts.
