Summary
(Title from Rivers Run by The Lasses)
A century after joining the company of Elladan and Elrohir, the hooded elf Anarfin begins to Dream of Darkness, of dark riders and forests in trouble. Not one to ignore omens and certainly not one to shy away from dangerous tasks, he decides to follow and hunt this Darkness to ensure the safety of Middle Earth.
500 years prior: three high-born elves depart Mirkwood to find the cure for a strange illness. None return: two dead and the youngest mysteriously disappeared. Mirkwood mourns its own, especially it's beloved Lady whose presence makes nature bend her way, and her young daughter.
Or, the unyielding spirit of an elf.

Summary
Book 1: This Weary Earth We Walk Upon
Book 2: She Will Endure When We Are Gone
(I don't know if I will split this into three, though it would be fitting)Five centuries ago, the people of Thalion lost four of their own, all of the kin of their Aran Thranduil. Dear Ríniel, the joy of their forest; Anardil of Gondolin, warrior and wife to Ríniel; Hithriel, their beloved daughter; Ellurian, mother to Legolas and wife to Thranduil. Two killed in an orc attach, one lost in that same venture, and Ellurian faded from grief.
Now, darkness grows in all lands in Middle Earth, and an elf they call the Wolf may be the cure, though he will have to wrestle with his painful past and tell the truth for once in his life.

Bilbo Runs an Errand by yourlocallavendermenace

Summary
The Orcs had moved off, their noise and their stench following them. The beasts had given up their incessant growling to go sniff at a half-eaten carcass in the mud some yards away. Silence rolled in like fog, heavy and bleak.
Had it not been so still, so quiet, Bilbo wouldn’t have heard the Elf’s breath catch in his throat. Had he not heard that, he also might’ve actually left him there.
But Bilbo did hear it. He knew that noise, he knew it well. It’s what someone sounds like when they’re trying very, very hard not to cry.
Set somewhere in the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo makes a pit-stop (and a friend?) on his way to give the Arkenstone to Thranduil.

Summary
"Lullabies do not make kinslayers. This he knows. And yet, it never stops the worry from curdling in his chest, the only constant of all the cradles he has sung beside. For the tune endures after all, and nothing empty can truly endure: every vacant hroä holds a fragment of the fëa that once forsook it. Can a song be washed of meaning? Is tenderness immune to ideology? Groping about blindly in the dark of their dreams, Elrond had always worried that he was not watering the crops for his children to harvest, but salting the earth before the seeds could be planted."
___________________________
At a parade celebrating the the founding of Imladris, Elrond spots an unforgettable face in the crowd, a face he’s not seen for millennia. To his delight and apprehension, it is indeed Maglor Fëanorian, who brings with him two things. First, a suspiciously tame monkey he insists isn’t a metaphor. Second, the groundshaking admission that Elwing and Eärendil’s sons were not named Elrond and Elros.Or, a love letter to Maglor, Elwing, and Elrond.

Jus Genitum: A Guide on How (not) to Commit International Crimes (And Definitely not Piss off the Justice League) by FloatingNebulas
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
05 Sep 2024

Summary
Movie night in Wayne Manor is a common occurance. Normally, the movies range from cute animated films to live action thrillers, but on one particular occasion, National Treasure was the movie of choice. And showing National Treasure to a bunch of highly trained vigilantes with very little impulse control, extreme capabilities, and no collective braincells who are prone to boredom, is, of course, a mistake.
Or, how the batkids became international criminals, committed multiple counts of treason, discovered the existence of a couple of cults, took over an entire country, kidnapped a very important government official, were hunted down by both the Justice League and Interpol, fought cthulhu monsters, made Talia al Ghul laugh, and nearly gave Bruce an aneurysm. Not necessarily in that order.
All because they wanted to prove National Treasure wrong.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?
