i love how Gandalf invested in Hobbits in year one and has been pushing them ever since. Thorin, i hear you need help with a breaking and entering. Can I recommend one of these little cunts? Silent as fuck, trust me. Elrond my dude i know you're skeptical but these four chucklefucks just transported a weapon of mass destruction all the way here. Theoden, you've gotta get yourself a hobbit man, I've got a spare one here. Denathor you big prick, take a hobbit - literally this is the bottom of the range but listen to him sing. Beautiful little bastard.

True and Faithful

The loyal followers of Fëanor - what drove them to follow him and his sons to Formenos, to Beleriand, through three kinslayings and beyond? How did they keep the faith despite the Doom and the loss of their Lords? And what of those non-Noldor who chose to follow them?

Maglor casts the Silmaril into the sea. He wanders the coasts. He sings. He wanders. He does not count the passing time, it just goes by him as water in a river around a rock. He doesn't know when it begins - if it even has a real beginning at all

All he knows is that a heavy cloud or thick smoke has slowly gathered on his mind, making it hard to think, sometimes, hard to clearly grasp or understand his own thoughts. His memory is slipping too, strangely, as the memory of an elf never should, things shifting or being lost under this shadow.

But forever clearly, almost becoming more clear while other memories are shadowed, the words of the Oath echo in his mind. Why did he cast away the Silmaril? Was he so weak, so incapable of bearing pain? He should have kept it. He was a fool. He should seek it out again, but how? how? he cannot breathe underwater, it is gone beyond his grasp.

Slowly, stealthily sneaking up on him, the shadow clouds his sight too. At first a faint mist, hardly noticeable, just making traveling mildly more irritating. But eventually he realizes that it has been night for him… much much longer than is possible. That he must have walked in seeming darkness for years now, and morning and day have never come, no, in fact the night is only deepening…

At last, he is groping blindly in utter darkness, in the world and in his own mind alike. He huddles where he hopes he's sheltered, and sings, and feels his way aimlessly onward, and sings, and lies down alone in the horrible night that no light can penetrate.

But he remembers. He remembers. Once there was light, he remembers. Bright, bright light. It burned him, and he threw it away. Fool, fool. He was such a fool. Why did he throw it away? That light was bright enough that it would be able to dispel even this darkness, he's sure. He was a fool to throw it away.

And he remembers, he had sworn to regain the light (he remembers other voices also swearing the oath that echoes in his mind, but the faces of those who swore are long since lost in the shadows upon him). He should not have thrown away what he had sworn to regain. But now all is dark, and he cannot see his way enough to know where he's going when he walks, seeking the light he cast away is now an impossible task…

So instead he lies still where he last fell down, and sings of loss and cruelty and foolishness, sings something he has sung so many times that his mouth knows it without thought, the words burned into his mind even though, with the shadows in the way, he can no longer grasp the memories and knowledge and history the song was born out of

Hex-hex!

Elrond is known as the best healer in Middle Earth - what other powers might he possess? Do his healing powers perhaps reach even beyond death? Or is this a completely different universe, and Elrond a reclusive witch in a little cottage in the woods, or maybe something else entirely?

The Blood is the Life

Vampire Elrond! Does he spend his nights drinking the blood of trembling virgins or using his ancient knowledge to aid humanity? Did he choose his undead existence or was he turned against his will? Is his unlife a lonely one, or does he have a coven around him?

Child King's Lullabye

Gil-galad became King far younger than any other Elf, and during unimaginably difficult times. How did he handle the pressure and responsibility? How did war and despair and the loss of his childhood shape him? How did the child with a too-large crown become the longest reigning High King of the Noldor? And what did he lose along the way?

TRSB 2024 art 2: Lured to be loved

@tolkienrsb Elladan & Elrohir have done everything they stayed in Middle Earth to do, but there's one thing Elrond left behind: his pseudo-father Maglor (now turned kinda crustacean). They are going to fix that.

I am looking forward to some crabnapping /o/ ( Will there be crabnapping? I don't know, but there sure could be. )

Great fic by the author reese -> coming SOON

Elladan is the one in the red cloak and Elrohir is the one with a white sash. Maglor + several ages on sitting in sand by the beach = Crablor.
