Ulmo's Wager (Or, The Rise and Fall of Eärien) by EliseoftheLibrary
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
03 Sep 2025

Summary
Nihal had not even gone too far from the coast before she was pulled under by an unnatural current. She did not have time to cry for help, and her goggles did not help her find her way back to the surface either. It was dark and silent for a long, long time until she opened her eyes again at another time and another place, in a body that was not her own. In a world which she had always known to be that of fiction.
She was a complete stranger now. A stranger to this new world and the people around her. And most importantly, a stranger to herself. Turns out, the perspective of an outsider was exactly what Ulmo believed this world needed to prove the others wrong.
Follow Nihal in her journey across the First Age as she struggles to find her place in this alien world as Eärien, and navigates through the frustrating elvish, human, and dwarven politics in hopes of accomplishing the mission that Ulmo had thrust upon her. She will need not only her prior knowledge of the books but also her wit and non-existent survival skills.

Summary
She was meant to stand at Thranduil's side, not to watch from afar. But such were the grey threads Vairë wove. Not a queen, but an envoy. Not beloved, but necessary. So she left, half sent, half willing, to lands where distance might dull the ache and silence could be kinder than remembrance.
Sometimes, departure is the only mercy left.
Yet, memory lingers, and duty binds. Across the leagues of plains and rivers, across the millennia of love and agony, she bears the grief of a Music dissonant.
This is the lamentation of Tatharel, Envoy of the Woodland Realm to Dorwinion and Rhûn, for all the things that cannot be.

The names of our wounds by eye_of_a_cat

Summary
After the end of season 2, the elves are building a haven in what will become Imladris and gathering their armies to strike back against Sauron. The scar left above Galadriel's heart by the spike of Morgoth's crown is healing. They may have lost the battle, but they have not yet lost the war.
And yet sometimes that scar aches. Sometimes she hears Halbrand's voice calling to her. And when two masked figures calling themselves Gaudrim arrive from Rhûn, saying they are elves of long-lost Doriath, Galadriel will not be the only one who finds healing a more complicated thing than it first appears.
(featuring: my those-Gaudrim-are-Sindarin-elves theory, Galadriel's crown stab injury as a Morgul-wound type of thing, masks, healing, and the overlap between marriage bonds and sorcery bonds.)

Summary
Sauron always said Galadriel would come to him, now or anon, or at the end of all things. He may not be wrong, yet right or no, he also came to her. As he was tonight, again.
From her high Talan she could see the tower of Dol Guldur in the distance. She built Caras Galadhon on the western edge of the Anduin for that very purpose. Talans, after all, were originally built as guard platforms and she had guarded her realm well against the greatest evil in all Middle Earth.
And though she also guarded her mind, she did not hide, not on nights like this. A dance of the ages, stepping into each others' spheres when the distance of space and time became unbearably great.
----------
Fic follows events from the forging of the rings through Galadriel's departure to the West at the end of the third age.
Non-chronological but related vignettes are grouped. Not everything is Haladriel/Saurondriel, see notes at start of each chapter.

Summary
Set between the reclamation of Erebor and One Ring's destruction, this is the tale of heroes among the Northmen and other peoples who fought against the shadow, of their tragic fall to pride, corruption and infighting, and of their eventual defeat by great warlords of the East.
As the story is mostly focused on Dorwinion, I am basing a lot of characters, locations and lore on Divide and Conquer mod and the Empire of Rhun submod, but a lot of it is original and contradicts them.- Language:

Summary
As the War of the Ring begins to stir in the West, the lands of Rhûn remain shadowed under a growing threat. Young Tirhal, torn between his father’s path as a warrior and his mother’s healing arts, finds himself at the crossroads of duty and destiny. With whispers of a strange sickness and the looming shadow of Sauron spreading across the land, Rhûn’s once peaceful villages fall into chaos.
Spanning from the early days of the War of the Ring to two years beyond its end, Whispers of the East follows Tirhal’s journey through a world plagued by war, madness, and dark magic. As Rhûn faces its own exodus, this tale sheds light on the overlooked corners of Middle-earth, where ancient loyalties and new alliances shape the fate of a people caught between survival and ruin.

It’s as if he can finally turn and confront this land in all its entirety, this hellish distant prison that’s kept him trapped and held here for so long. He wants to hate this place but he finds that he can’t; he only pities it, this land which was meant to be green and is not, this land that whispers to him its grief for all its lost trees.
The Stranger is Gandalf, Celeborn is one of the Gaudrim, and a thousand years later in Lothlórien they reminisce together about missing memories and the importance of trees.

Summary
"Life… was like a trail. It was winding and unpredictable; some trails going on for miles and miles, some coming to a sudden stop. There were also many different ways a Harfoot could take to get where he was trying to go, but only a few ways that were safe."
Sadoc's relationship with the trail from his boyhood all the way up until his death. I saw the word "Migration" and couldn't resist.

Two wizards were sent to Middle-Earth along with Gandalf, Saruman, and Radagast. Tolkien never expanded on them, so when I imagined their tale and realized it could be a plausible history for them, I decided to put it on paper and share it with Tolkien enthusiasts!
