    Summary

    "His head was on her arse. Gandalf was dead. Satan was real. Aragorn was confessing his feelings and she could feel wind on her bum cheeks. Nothing about this was okay. Could he have not given her at least three business days to prepare for this sort of thing? She wanted a nap and a bath and a big bloody glass of wine. Maybe even a wee lobotomy to scrape out the horrors she’d witnessed today."

    ----------

    Beautiful, clever, rich — Maeve Dashwood is perfectly content with her privileged life in London and sees no need for an ambitious career or marriage.
    Grubby, useless, terrified — Maeve Dashwood can dig her heels in all she likes, but when destiny comes calling, the Valar will drag her kicking and screaming. Facing a new world of horrors while suffering the graphic withdrawals of modern comforts and medicine, this reluctant and extremely unqualified heroine might be Middle Earth’s only hope. Eru take pity on them all.

    When people tell you not to touch magical artifacts, Pepper didn't consider that they meant the pretty ones, too.

    Summary

    When summoned to Rivendell by Lord Elrond, Amalie, a healer of mysterious origin, was eager to help. The last thing she expected was to be swept up in a mission to destroy the One Ring, with four hobbits, her uncle, and the man she was trying not to fall in love with...

    Summary

    Frodo had never really thought about what would come after death, but when he opened his eyes he was still surprised to look up at the dome-like ceiling of the house of Elrond.

    Summary

    There was in those days a tale sung around the hearths of Mirkwood, one carried upon the wind from Elves to the always-hearing ears of trees, and one they spread further.

    Its tragedy was great, for the tale itself was at first a prayer whispered to the moon, and through time formed a lament.

    In the endless years of Elves and forests, it had not been long before when it occurred. Pain and grief was still fresh within the minds of those whose kin had been lost.

    By the name of Úvaniel it became known, named for the memory of what dear was lost. Elves of Mirkwood who had lived few years or many all knew it, of descent Silvan or Sindarin, they dared not to sing the tune where their dear Prince or King could hear.

    The elf Anarfin has lived many lives. Man, Thief, Nomad, Sibling, Warrior.

    A century after joining the company of Elrohir and Elladan, Anarfin begins to Dream of Darkness, of hooded riders and the forest in trouble.

    Or, the unyielding spirit of an elf.

    Summary

    “The Fellowship is to set out in December,” Lord Elrond explained, “I require your services as a Messenger to travel with them, until you’ve passed the mountains, or until Gandalf sees fit to release you.”
    Panic coiled in Rhosynel’s chest, as two things became apparent. Firstly, that she could easily end up roped into travelling further on the whims of a wizard. And secondly, that if word reached her employer that she point-blank refused Lord Elrond, she’d be kicked from the Messenger services.
    In other words, Rhosynel was trapped.

    *

    Working as a messenger Rhosynel is accustomed to travelling the length and breadth of Middle Earth, so carrying a missive to the village of Bree should have been easy. But this simple task sets off a chain of events, entangling her in the lives of strangers and the fate of Middle Earth, which leaves her fighting to keep both them, and herself, alive.

    Updates mondays.

    Summary

    War leaves its mark not only on battlefields, but also in the hearts of those who survived it. Boromir, a battle-hardened warrior of Gondor, and Eodred, a daughter of Rohan hiding her grief behind wit and stubbornness, find themselves bound by ties that no sword can sever.
    Between them lie duty, the past, and their own fears. But what is stronger: honor or desire? And is it possible to find balance between these two forces without losing oneself?
    Will their feelings become a shield—or a fatal blow?

    Summary

    Do I really have to do a summary?... Fine!

    Summary... summary... summary! Boy, there is a lot that has happened. Honestly too much.

    Stuff has happened, like a lot, a lot. Boromir is in fact alive! My butt got saved by Eomer and his men. Éowyn is a sweetheart. Arwen and the wonder twins and my father were at Helm's Deep, big thanks for the assist! Oh right, Galadriel's gift really was handy. Had to deal with a bomb and everything... So much to do! So tired, far from done and now we all have to pick up our dear hobbits in Isengard.

    And for some reason Legolas is being a shit, and I have to deal with that too on top of everything.

    Summary

    Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum was interrupted by what seemed at first but a village disturbance—a stray child in distress, or so it appeared.

    Yet there could be no mistaking the points of her ears, nor the light that lingered in her gaze.

    Long had the Eldar ceased bringing children into a fading world. Yet here she sat, perched on a common oak, her bare feet swinging, her copper hair alight.

    How had she come to be? And why, when all wisdom said such joy had passed from the world?

    Summary

    The music school AU no-one knew they needed till now!

    Éowyn Earl is the star horn player in her year, simultaneously wrestling with the demons of her past, struggling with her current crush on violinist Aragorn Walker, and wondering what to do about the hideous professor Wykeham King who is making everyone’s lives miserable. Meanwhile, in the background, gradually coming into focus, is a very talented pianist, one Faramir Hurin.

    A journey through healing, redemption, friendship - and a bit of revenge. Plus a very slow burn relationship. And a love-letter to my favourite orchestral instrument.

    Inspired by ElrondScribe's brilliant Silmarillion music school AU.

    No resemblance to any actual musicians intended, considerable liberties with my representation of the RNCM. Indeterminate time-frame: a bit like the Manchester of my teens (and its often unfortunate social attitudes); in other respects more up-to-date. The Mancunian rain is entirely accurate, however, and I make no apology for that.

    Complete with playlist and epic author's notes.

    NB - rating increased to E. I will mark the chapters in question so you can skip those bits (if you want M).

    Summary

    It was a dark and stormy night, and the Fellowship was in the warmth of Bag-End, laughing and chatting and enjoying the process of making raisin pie —

    No. That's not quite right.

    It was a dark and stormy afternoon, and only eight members of the Fellowship were in the warmth of Bag-End. The only people laughing, chatting, and enjoying the process of making raisin pie were Merry and Pippin, and the other six watched them, stony-faced.

    OR:

    The Fellowship honors Boromir.

    Summary

    Maya Banerjee, 27, Croydon native. Messy flat, sketchbook addict, perpetually single. One quiet Sunday she falls asleep watching The Fellowship of the Ring… and wakes up in Bree, in Peregrin Took’s body.

    She knows the movies (mostly). She does not know how to be a hobbit.

    Between mistaken identities, cultural confusion, and the inconvenient pull of a certain ranger’s gaze - who is absolutely, definitely, destined for Arwen… right? - Maya finds herself tangled in a story she only half-remembers, and one she may not want to leave.

    Summary

    The Ring is destroyed. Mount Doom is crumbling. There is no way out. So Sam decides to speak at last.

    PREVIEW:
    “Oh, Mr. Frodo, me dear, me dear…”

    Frodo closed his eyes.

    “I can see the Shire, Sam,” he whispered. And indeed he could. “I can see the Water, the Hill, the Party tree…”

    Sam’s hand was on his brow, and he slid it down to his cheek. Cupping it, warm and calloused.

    Summary

    On the day before moving into university halls (leaving it a bit late), the Fellowship, plus some others, are added to a group chat to get to know the people they will be living with for the next year. What could possibly go wrong with all these characters living under the same roof?

    Expect lots of teasing and (mostly friendly) tormenting, a concerning number of things getting broken, and way less sleep than is at all healthy.

    In case it isn't already abundantly obvious, I did not create these characters, nor do I own them. I'm also definitely not the first to write in this AU either; this was inspired by a lot of brilliant and funny works which I loved reading.

    Summary

    Severus Snape and Lily Evans used to be friends. After their fight near the end of their fifth year at Hogwarts, they drifted apart as strangers. He had chosen his path, and she had chosen hers, never to meet again. But sometimes the story of two people isn't over after they go their separate ways. Not when their paths cross once more in the most unlikely of places. At the bottom of the Great Lake - and with a magic Ring for the taking.

    In Middle-earth Severus and Lily must find a way back to each other, and learn about each other, while their disappearance off-sets a chain of events back in the wizarding world.

    - This is a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover, and starts at the beginning of Lily and Severus' 7th year at Hogwarts in 1977.
    - Snily endgame.
    - Kémya is the 4th Ring of Power.
    - Story takes place in both the wizarding world and in Middle-earth.
    - NOT a 10th/11th walker story.
    - NO character bashing.
