    Summary

    After dying in the fall of Gondolin, Glorfindel and Ecthelion each wake in strange environments, far from anything they have ever known or loved. Neither of them know where they are, or why — and most importantly, where the other is. Glorfindel finds himself in the opulent gardens of a warm city, where he is soon discovered by a silver-haired young girl with a kind heart. As she tries to comfort him in his grief, he cannot help but be reminded of Idril. Ecthelion wakes in the freezing North of Westeros and is taken in by the Stark family, as Lord Eddard has an awful track record with keeping strays. Ecthelion tries to adjust to this strange new life despite his grief, but as he finally begins to find his footing, danger looms on the horizon, threatening the lives of those he has come to love. Each elf swears an oath: to protect and serve a child they have come to see as their own. But as this cruel world digs in its claws, and horror after horror passes before their eyes, Ecthelion and Glorfindel must fight to hold onto their morals, their loved ones, and themselves.

    Summary

    He had lived twice and carried the weight of both lives quietly; duty etched into every breath, honor stitched into every heartbeat. She was the healer who moved through Imladris like a soft wind, ink-stained fingers, books pressed to her chest, wandering into sunlight as though she belonged to it.

    He hid behind discipline; she hid behind wonder. He lived in restraint; she lived in stories. He avoided her eyes; she never knew she was the reason he looked at all.

    Before prophecies stirred the valley, before whispers of fate brushed against their names, there was only the ancient warrior who worshipped from a distance and the gentle scholar who never realized she was being worshipped.

    He told himself she deserved someone untouched by war.
    He told himself the years between them mattered.
    He told himself he could resist the warmth she carried so effortlessly.

    But even the brightest light falters. Even legends bend. Even a reborn heart can be undone by the quiet grace of a single, healing soul.

    Some loves are sparked by destiny, and some by the soft, dangerous truth of longing denied too long.

    Summary

    After the crumbling of the keep, the Valar send Cersei to Middle Earth, sort of as a redemption opportunity. Now she has to adapt to life as an elf in Rivendell, another sister, another daughter - while another war is brewing on the horizon.
    It's a war that brings a familiar face in her line of sight, and damn it, she is supposed to help these people, not start an additional war between elves and humans because her son might or might not have wanted his head in another world.
    So yes, maybe Boromir and her are not the best of friends - but does it truly matter when the stakes are so high.

    Aka my take on the 10th walker mixed with a crack-crossover and bonding over Tywin and Denethor's A+ parenting.

    Somehow it also turned out to be a bit of a character study about a woman who truly needs a couple of thousand years to come to terms with the fact that love might not always be hurtful and hateful.

    Summary

    As an emissary of the gods - one of the istari sent by the Valar themselves - she had a purpose in this world. A task to fulfill. But after years of senseless wandering and cruel losses, even the most loyal servant can lose hope. She had done her part and yet - the great victory that was promised never came to be. And after all that has happened, after all that she has sacrificed for a higher purpose she did not believe in, Amara is fed up with the dealings of the gods. Especially now, being stuck with a fellowship she did not like on a journey she did not even think would succeed.

    or

    Three wizards and three witches - the istaris - were sent to fight off evil but after years of suffering and failures Amara is so done with the dealings of the gods.

    Summary

    Summary

    The explosion of the Great Sept of Baelor should have been the end of Margaery Tyrell. The Long Night and its consequences should have been the end of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow and Sansa Stark as the Gods had willed it, but what if the Gods took pity on them?

    They are sent to a completely different world where there is no Game of Thrones, no White Walkers, no backstabbing Lannisters and no dragons... for now. There is still a powerful darkness brewing however and they will have to put everything they have into the fights ahead if they want to survive

    As they have to face many new challenges, overcome new obstacles and fight new and powerful enemies with help of many new friends and allies, will they actually be able to survive and able to find that they were unable to find in Westeros: true happiness?

    Summary

    Aragorn didn’t join the Fellowship. Because his sister stole his job.
    Rauthmirelle decided that being a potential court lady was boring, so she grabbed a sword and joined the Rivendell guard.
    Estel—the real Aragorn—decided that being Aragorn was boring, so he shipped himself off to Lothlórien for a peaceful life among pretty trees.
    Fast forward to the Council of Elrond.
    Now Rauth is stuck on a quest with a suspicious elf prince who has working eyesight and an Olympic-level sense of sarcasm: Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood.
    Sharp. Cold. Judgy. Possibly allergic to her entire personality.
    And the worst part?
    She’s starting to wish she wasn’t lying.

    A large part of this story is in fact NOT about the Fellowship

    Summary

    Arathorn perishes two years earlier. Estel is barely three months old, when Gilraen, hand forced by circumstance, flees to Imladris.

    But the stress of the road makes her lose her ability to breastfeed, and with no wet nurses in Rivendell, it seems like the future of the line of Isildur, and of her baby son, is quite bleak.

    Insert one Glorfindel of the Golden Flower, a rather interesting biological difference between Quendi and Edain, and the burning parenting urges of elves who didn't have a child to fuss over for a few centuries.

    Little Estel will be fine. And Gilraen...Well. Gilraen will be fine too. More than, even.

    Summary

    They tell you this is a story of a hero finding a home.
    They tell you this is a tale of an immortal Elf finding love.

    They are wrong.

    This is a story of The Break of Dawn.

    The moment two ancient sentinels, strangers from opposite ends of time, shatter the fate set for them by the gods.

    The moment a love strong enough to challenge the Shadow of Mordor—and the guilt of centuries—begins.

    You have seen her cost. You have seen his waiting.

    Read on, if you dare to bear the weight of their eternity.
    .......

    OR this is the rewrite of Home is Where The Heart Is. Cause I, the Author have not make my babies suffered enough yet (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins wasn't the only member of the company Gandalf chose as he picked one more: an elleth named Húniel who has more skeletons in her closet than some might think at first glance. The dwarves aren't very happy about this development, but reluctantly agree to let her join for at least the beginning of their quest.

    Traveling all across Middle-Earth and slowly growing closer to her new companions despite the animosity between elves and dwarves, Húniel will need to use all of her skills to keep them all safe in a slowly darkening world. She will happily face any foe that comes on their path, but soon finds something she would much rather flee from:

    Her own past

    Summary

    “If you wished to bear your soul to anyone, gwadornín, you know I would listen to you.”
    “You ask without asking, and yet I feel the time has come. If I do not break my silence soon, I fear I never will.”

    Secrets are a language that Legolas knows all too well.
    Glorfindel would just like to understand his little brother better.

    A little interlude and conversation between gwedyr, sworn-brothers, prior to Legolas’ departure from Rivendell as part of the Fellowship of the Ring.

    Summary

    Elrond had been through war and courts alike. He was a healer and the lord of Imladris. He could handle surprises and unexpected things.

    Usually, this time he’s left floundering as everyone decides that no, he’s no longer allowed to work himself to the bone. Or til he’s asleep at his desk.

    Honestly he’s not that bad, it’s only happened a couple of times!
