Haldir and Melpomaen of Lothlorien develop a relationship beyond the expected as they travel from the Golden Wood to Dale and back via Mirkwood - where they also meet Legolas. AU, slash. Adult rating for graphic M/M sex, but no violence or language. Intended to explore Elven sexuality and social/philosophical attitudes, this story is now complete. By Celandine.

Originally a HASA Q2 Quickies Challenge response - "Elros' thoughts upon first making landfall on Númenor", but the story insisted on growing into a set of Númenorean bookends.

Two weeks in Buckland as Bilbo and Frodo visit during Yule and attend the Wintermark celebration. Takes place in late-December, 1388, and early January 1389 SR, during the Yule season. Contains a great deal of speculative information about Shire social structure, politics, and economic activity since Bilbo returned from his adventures. Bilbo and Frodo are main characters. Brandybuck, Took, Bolger, and Burrows relatives show up, and many original characters (OCs), including Dalin, a Dwarf. Mature themes in almost every chapter, descriptions of sexual activity and violence in several chapters. Not a cheerful feel-good holiday story in any way. By Anglachel.

What happens when an eternal bond goes awry? Melpomaen finds himself in Imladris without Haldir; angst and lots of it.
