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.

At the end of Elessar's life, others also chose to depart from Middle-earth.

Mr. Bilbo "learns Sam his letters."

How did Denethor ever end up married to Finduilas of Dol Amroth? And given that Aragorn was in Gondor at the time, under the name Thorongil, might he not have been interested in this courtship? This romance is told partly through the eyes of each of the three individuals involved (plus Imrahil), and partly through the medium of letters between them all.

Was Finduilas really the only woman Denethor ever loved? Prequel to "Courting the Lady."

What if Boromir didn't receive the dream-summons and so stayed in Minas Tirith and Faramir went north instead? Rated PG for grim battle stuff in later chapters. Boromir, Faramir, Denethor, Aragorn, Thorongil, the Steward's Oath, politics of Gondor. Work in Progress; will be 30 chapters when done.

A collection of filks, of various sorts, which will expand if and when the muse strikes.

Faramir spends an afternoon with his memories. Vignette, written for the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" challenge at HASA.

A vignette of the Steward's family. Boromir watches Denethor and Faramir, and is confounded by what he sees.
