    Summary

    This story is a direct continuation of my previous fanfic, Race for Eregion. If you haven't read that one, this might be a bit confusing.

    Now that the city of Ost-in-Edhil is in ruins, the Elves desperately need more allies to face Sauron. Galadriel suggests to travel to Numenor to ask for aid. Together in a small company, Galadriel, Elrond, Camnir, Adar, Vorohil and Arondir, they travel to Númenor to propose an alliance. Their diplomatic mission starts to go awry when Elrond begins to suffer from the wounds received by Sauron.

    Summary

    No one else could hold the threads of Lindon’s governance the way Elrond could. No one else could manage the endless petitions, coordinate the guard, balance the accounts, oversee the staff, soothe every minor crisis before it reached the throne.

    No one else could be trusted, not really.

    And yet, now, neither could Elrond.

    Gil-Galad had stripped him of the office, because he had to. Because Elrond had jeopardized the realm, because he had lied and defied orders and made decisions that had nearly dragged Lindon into war.

Can Elrond keep his company alive or will this experience forever change his outlook on life. This is an alternative take on the company's journey from season 2.

    Summary

    This series came to me when I realised that, despite all my efforts, all it takes is one good fanfic from the Tolkein fandom to send me to my drafts with yet another fanfic idea. This, of course, was an annoying realisation to come to as it presented a problem. I can't have a bunch of random fics floating around in my works; my life is disorderly enough without the fanfics I actually like writing getting infected as well. So, I came up with this little sack of glitter, which if you tear open with a knife, will spill out, and (to quote a certain animal from Peppa pig, who is apparently an older sister twice over now and is making ME feel very old) gets EVERYWHERE.

    Basically.

    This is a mess, but it's a mess I am attempting to contain and I feel like I should be given a little credit for the effort, however futile it may be. In any case, I've thought of it, it exists, and sooner or later it's going to be overflowing with whatever horrors I've been inspired to create. I pray for myself and whoever has the misfortune to stumble across it. May Eru Ilúvatar be with you all

    It’s absolutely brilliant.

    They look enough alike that they could be twins.

    Surely no one will notice if they swap places for one day.

    Summary

    On a random morning, Theo goes outside and finds a half-dead elf on the doorstep of Pelargir. Taking him in, thereby defying Kemen and his Númenorean principles, proves to be the best decision he could’ve made.

    He’s not entirely sure if he committed a war crime when he cut the elf’s hair for practical purposes, though.

    Or: In which Sauron co-opts his former boss' war crimes, Celebrimbor is super fucking dead, Elrond is really confused about the random horse that keeps randomly following him, Theo and Kemen are always two seconds away from murdering each other, Isildur has no sense of direction whatsover, Adar is scheming as per usual, Galadriel is in a constant state of rage, Gil-galad is hiring until he’s not, Durin and Disa think all elves are melodramatic idiots, Treebeard discovers the wonders of gallows humor, and Elros Tar-Minyatur is still haunting the goddamn narrative.

    Summary

    Ereinion Gil-galad discovers a miracle. Elros (not yet Tar-Minyatur) finds his way.

    --

    "You'll have no luck with that one," one of the other healers stopped a moment to advise them both. "He hasn't moved since the men brought him in; likely, his spirit is unmoored."

    "Try anyhow?" Ereinion implored Elrond, softly, and he blessed his friend when Elrond did not question these orders, as if he thought it entirely worth his time and power to dote upon this old, near-dead thrall.

    Summary

    Even though he personally revised history and buried so many past events, why did Elrond still preserve the account of him being captured by the Fëanorians? … Was it to stir sympathy? … It was already glorified long ago… His unknown experiences during the War of Wrath, in truth, were simply… And just because his bloodline is noble, we were expected to feed him? … Elrond’s skill in social maneuvering was unmatched, his grasp of human nature particularly sharp—precisely in that period…
    According to extremely reliable unofficial records…
