Summary
“Well then,” said Glorfindel, “can you tell me more about this very minor injury that you fear may keep you out of battle? As in, what is it, and how did you come by it?”
“It was an accident. A ridiculous one.” The corners of Ecthelion’s mouth turned downwards. “I was walking past the archery butts when, quite suddenly, I was struck by a stray arrow.”
“Where?”
“In the northern corner, just past the Balrog-shaped targets.”
“No, where on your body?”
“In the… lower back.”

One place to find them all
One place to post them
One place to keep them all
And in one archive host them."Them" refers to those of my "works" that are too short or too ridiculous (even by my standards) to warrant a fic of their own. So, drabbles, vignettes, puzzles, even some "poetry".
New in Spring 2026: two very silly drabbles about Feanor.

Findekáno encounters a guilt-inducing reminder of his past. But, hey, there is a happy ending!
(This is one of my attempts to ruin my reputation as a Serious Writer. Please mind the pairing. And the rating.)

Summary
If I told you that the romantic word "gondola" has its origins in the equally romantic (and tragic) Elven city of Gondolin, would you believe me?
No? Perhaps this series of vignettes will convince you.
Now complete, after ten years!

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
This series includes all the stories I have ever written about my versions of Ecthelion and Glorfindel, in mostly chronological order, except for the final story, which contains various extras.
(The stories all share the same canon--until Glorfindel's rebirth. Then there are two different versions of how they reunite, each with its own sequence of fics.)If you're here for the first time, I suggest starting with Flawed and Fair, the first fic I wrote about these two, and still the most popular.

Summary
Lost Tales 2, "The Fall of Gondolin": "... so perished the Lord of the Fountain after fiery battle in cool waters." An important episode in the Fall of Gondolin, from the point of view of Glorfindel.
I have other, incomplete Glorfindel/Ecthelion slash works. This is the only complete one, I believe, and it is gen, though you could read implied slash, or believe they're very good friends and colleagues; either is perfectly plausible in this work.

Summary
The Sentiment of Steel, or "Sentiment du Fer": a fencer’s ability to use his sword to feel and manipulate the opponent’s sword. A concept with which Glorfindel and Ecthelion are far too familiar.
