    Summary

    "Congratulations on taking the first steps of your divinely approved divorce!" said Eonwë, with the blithe good cheer of a person who could absolutely pummel both of them silly and then chuck them back into Mandos one-handed. The Herald of the Valar was not someone to be intimidated by a bad-tempered Elf. "We can now proceed with the next stage!"

    "What next stage?" demanded Fingon. "It's over! What else is there to say?"

    Summary

    Disclaimer: Oooh we have a badass here. *winces*. This was the first story I ever wrote, (in 2003) and it's the only one of my Henneth-Annun Story Archive stories not somewhere else on the internet. As that archive is due to close, I'm reposting it here, for old times' sake.

    The horrible thing is, I still like it, even after all this time, even though it's so rough it could be used to sand walls (and swearing elves aren't nearly as big and clever as I thought back then), because Maedhros' cussed insolence is kind of endearing, to me at least.

    So once more, for old time's sake - Maedhros Nelyafinwe telling it like it is, bitter, foul-mouthed and unexpectedly alive.

    Summary

    Running Yavanna’s errands in First Age Middle-earth is a tough job, but someone has to do it.

     

     

    (Written for the B2MeM prompt, “Write or create art in which a character plants something.” Not a light-hearted humour fic. At all. A little quirky, though.)

    Summary

    While I work on the longer Ecthelion/Glorfindel stories, my brain will ever so often, boil over and dump out a vignette or two.

    Now, I am dropping them all over here. Most are (meant to be) humour, although Alqualonde Days -- which is a complete, self-indulgent story, actually -- is not. Small caveat: they will all make more sense to readers already familiar with my takes on these characters.

     

    The latest addition is incredibly sentimental.

    Summary

    So, how did Glorfindel of Gondolin make his (posthumous) way to Middle-earth in order to become Glorfindel of Rivendell? The relevant canon is full of uncertainties and contradictions.

    I like to think it might have happened as follows...

    Months have passed since the Nirnaeth, but Glorfindel and Ecthelion are not quite over it yet.

    Contains dark themes, humour, and slash, mixed together pretty evenly, I hope.

    Summary

    The Silmarillion is so full of heartbreaking, wasteful, tragic deaths that it sometimes seems as if the not-tragically-deadly parts of the narrative are there only to give the readers a little breather.

    I expect that everyone has a death or two that they find particularly distressing. Amarië certainly does. But at least she can do something about it...

    Summary

    Gil-galad, about to be married to a very nice lady, makes an important discovery about himself with Erestor's help. A heartwarming tale of cluelessness, ill-fitting clothing, impractical pets, and exploitation of Elvish linguistic ambiguity. Very tame slash.

    Maedhros and Maglor discuss the Noldolantë.

    This ficlet à clef is dedicated to everyone who has ever given me beta, and, more generally, to everyone who has ever had cause to identify with this version of Maedhros.

    Summary

    The city of Gondolin is at peace, and yet several of its citizens harbour resentments, ambitions, and unnatural desires: Maeglin longs to assume his rightful position as Turgon's heir and Idril's spouse; Salgant hopes to avenge himself for past humiliations; and Ecthelion and Glorfindel indulge in deception even as they devote their lives to duty.

    Many secrets will be revealed, but only slowly and with much confusion, in this comedy of misunderstandings.

    Summary

    Some people are naturally good at romance. Others struggle with it, even when surrounded by flowers, love songs, and heart-shaped cakes. Guess which group is featured in this story?

     

    The usual caveat applies: these are my versions of these characters, and my version of Gondolin, and so might not be to everyone's taste.

    Summary

    One long, meandering conversation between Ecthelion and Glorfindel.

    I could say it's about aesthetics.
    I could say it's about the author having fun with implicit characterization.
    I could also say it's about vases, and grapes, and Maedhros.

     

    The usual caveat applies: these are my versions of these characters, and while this story does not contradict canon, it does not have much to do with it, either. It's pure (s)elf-indulgence...

    Summary

    A few weeks after the events of Flawed and Fair, Ecthelion writes a letter. Or, at least, attempts to.

     

    I expect this story will appeal only to rare fans of my interpretation of this couple. Oh well. Sorry, rest of the world.

    Summary

    Right before the War of Wrath, Maglor explains himself.

     

    Warning: Quite different from my other stories. My inner critic usually insists on plot and/or humour. This is pure (though not always honest) introspection.
