Summary
At the end of the Second Age, the Elven Houses struggle for unity, and love often becomes a casualty of duty. At a festival meant to bridge realms, old loyalties run deep: Círdan’s eldest daughter, Meríliel (main OC) is promised to Glorfindel in a political union between Mithlond (the Grey Havens) and Imladris, while her brother Calenion (also OC) is bound to wed Thranduil’s eldest daughter, Lóthien (also OC). Yet amidst oaths and obligations, Meríliel finds her soul drawn to Legolas, sparking tensions that threaten both families and alliances. When tragedy strikes, hearts falter, promises are broken, and the tides of fate begin to pull them all apart.
This story usually updates weekly and aims to remain canon-friendly, mostly following The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Several original characters fill in the blanks left by Tolkien, and each is woven carefully into the story, mentioned where relevant.

Summary
In a world where Middle-earth and Earth have established diplomatic and academic relations, Alfred Pierson, a doctoral student at Harvard specialising in cultural trauma studies, finds himself unexpectedly hosted by Glorfindel, a legendary elven warrior and visiting professor from Imladris. What begins as a practical housing arrangement evolves into something deeper as they navigate cultural differences, academic challenges, and growing feelings for each other...
"I have wanted this," Glorfindel admitted softly, "for longer than I should confess."
"How long?" Alfred asked, his fingers still entwined in golden strands, marvelling at being permitted such intimacy.
A smile touched Glorfindel's lips—not the reserved expression Alfred was accustomed to, but something warmer, more open. "Since the night you fell asleep in the living room while reading that treatise on Sindarin dialectical variations. You had notes scattered around you, and your glasses had slipped down your nose. You looked... perfectly human, in the most beautiful way."

Summary
Halbrand dipped his head, and Galadriel’s heart jumped in anticipation, but his lips only grazed her cheek. “You’re the one who said ours was no chance meeting. We were brought together for a reason.”
“We should stay focused on the difficult journey ahead,” she whispered. “Distractions during the upcoming battle could be fatal.” This venture was only an expedition but would likely turn into something much deadlier.
“That is tomorrow’s concern, which I will treat with utmost seriousness and urgency,” Halbrand vowed. “But what of tonight?” He asked in a low voice, his lips hovering just above hers.
Galadriel could hardly breathe. And could think of no more excuses to not reach for what her heart greatly desired.

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. -

Summary
Freed after three ages in chains, Melkor returns to Valinor cloaked in false penitence, sowing discord among the Noldor. Yet when his gaze falls upon Lady Artanis - not yet Galadriel, but already radiant and unyielding - his hunger for light stretches beyond the Silmarils.
His plan is set: destroy the Two Trees, steal the Silmarils, and take her with them.
But the depths of Angband, it is Sauron - Melkor’s most trusted servant - who becomes her jailor. To him she is not merely a prize nor a challenge, but a reflection of all he has lost, and a vision of what he might still claim.
Caught between Melkor’s shadow and Sauron’s relentless design, Galadriel must face a terrible choice: surrender her light, or let it burn brighter than ever. Even if it consumes her.
—————
OR: a First Age AU where Melkor covets not only the Silmarils, but the Elf whose hair inspired their creation.

Summary
It is in the whispers of her love, in the sweet taste of the horse-maiden, that Arwen finds the most divinity. Here, more than in any prayer, is she dizzy with it.
This, she thinks, is how Varda must have felt creating the stars.

Summary
“I endured all of it,” she reiterated, ”and for what?! Hum?! For you to be so ungrateful that you call me selfish just because I hid it from you?!“
Without thinking about her words, waiting only for the opportunity to reply, I shouted: ”So you did all of it so I would be in your debt?!“
”Of course not!“ she yelled, a little louder than before. ”I just wish that you would at least realise how hard it has been for me to manage all three of you!“✧❀✧❀✧
Olivia and Belle have always been there for each other. Despite their chaotic childhood, they are both trying to live an ordinary life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, haunted by their trauma.

Belle is a die-hard Lord of the Rings fan, while Olivia has only once seen those movies and never opened those books. But now, they are to face evil and depart on a quest to Mordor. During this travel, secrets are to be revealed as the sisters try to discover how they came to this other world. Will they succeed in the journey?

Summary
“He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.
She looked up then.
“I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”
“What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.
“There will be a reckoning in Aman."

Summary
密林小绿叶的诞生为中洲带来了希望。中洲有新生的同时，风雨却也随之而来。沉睡两千年的至尊戒重现江湖；神秘阴影重新笼罩密林；刚铎的伊希利恩被邪恶生物侵扰；警戒和平摇摇欲坠。
历史似乎在重演，刚多林的旧事也依然萦绕在第三纪元。
在加拉德瑞尔的水镜里，格洛芬德尔看到了一座白城和他朝思暮想的背影——和他无数次的噩梦里一样，埃克塞里安没有回头。
“是他回来了吗？让我再看一眼他的脸，无论要我付出什么代价都可以。”
星穹之上，一如打算实现他的愿望。The birth of Legolas GreenLeaf of Mirkwood brought hope to Middle-earth. Yet with this new life came storms and unrest. The One Ring, lost for two thousand years, resurfaced; a mysterious shadow once again shrouded the forest; Ithilien of Gondor was plagued by mysterious evil creatures; the Watchful Peace was on the verge of collapse.
History seemed to be repeating itself, and the past of Gondolin still lingered in the Third Age.
In the Mirror of Galadriel, Glorfindel saw a white city, and the figure he had yearned for day and night. Just like in his countless nightmares, Ecthelion did not turn back.
“Has he returned? Will he be back? Let me see his face once more—I’ll pay any price, whatever it takes.”
Above the starry dome, Eru seemed bent on granting his wish.Series

Summary
There are stories, as old as time, passed down from generation to generation. When the ancient powers of our world align, when the will of our Gods unite, sometimes a traveler slips through time and of course it is Bilbo Baggins on whose door adventure knocks but if there is one thing he had learned throughout his life, it was this: If trouble knocks at your door, don't open it. However, he had a tendency not to follow his own advice.
The moonlight touched his face, bringing forth the silver streaks of his hair and the blue of his eyes. It was almost too deep to be real, deeper than the lake beyond the clearing and somehow, all of a sudden, blue became the warmest colour in existence. Most wore their freckles in sunlight, but his showed up when the moon shines, like constellations in the sky, hidden until nightfall.
[I really just wanted to write Thorin getting whipped like Jamie from Outlander, and naturally, I ended up writing a whole remake of their quest, involving a timeline shift and Silmaril lore. The explanation for the time travel will be delivered in chapter 5, by a cheeky wizard, so stick with me because a wizard is never late, nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.]
