He might say it’s the worst dm he’s ever received but he forgot to mention the part where it worked on him ://

RULES: Post descriptions of your WIPs in a poll. For whichever one wins, write 8 sentences.

Okay here we go, pals! 😄

[lordgrimwing]

or maybe it's because he's a little coward

maybe the reason why celegorm likes being the dom in most of his relationships is because no elven cock will ever compare to oromë’s vala rauka

Comments: White Blossom (11)

New Things I Tried: Writing dark!fic, something that I never thought I'd do in a million years, and writing a modern AU. Also, although I've written with OCs before, I've never written them in the Tolkien universe, and it was kind of scary doing it, so I'm counting it.

Fic I Spent the Most Time On: the plain sight of our destiny is the cruellest thing of all. This fic was the product of several months on-and-off work and multiple rounds of editing and polishing.

Fic I Spent the Least Time On: The Face of Spring. I banged this one out in an afternoon, it was like I was possessed.

Favourite Thing I Wrote: This is a hard one because I love all the fics I've written this year but I'll go with the plain sight of our destiny is the cruellest thing of all, which is ironic, given that I initially abandoned it as a dud. I just so love all the characters I was able to create and their relationships with each other, and I had such fun exploring Umbar. Also I'm so proud of the claustrophobic horror vibes in this one.

Favourite Thing(s) I Read:

Right-ho, Edrahil! by oswinry - a Jeeves & Wooster style Finrod & Edrahil fic is absolutely inspired and this is so effortlessly, side-splittingly hilarious.

A Thing Strange and Crooked by Arveldis - great investigation of how Maeglin's insidious influence isolated and suffocated Idril, the characterisation of Maeglin as a horrible creep who slides beneath society's radar is perfect.

Unwary by Showed_Up_Late_To_The_Muster - beautifully written, emotionally raw exploration of Théodwyn's final days, the themes of difficult marriage, grief, anger and resentment are perfectly executed.

Love in Spades by 0Rocky41_7 - the fic that made me an aroace Maedhros fan. Every character interaction is flawless, every single relationship depicted is so rich and vivid.

a fish, floundering on dry land by ncfan - heartbreaking portrayal of Finduilas' suffering in Minas Tirith, made even better by the emphasis on her interactions with other female characters.

one of your girls by swanmaiden - this fic is very aptly named because it made me one of the celegorome girls. I don't even know what to say about this fic except that it's a masterpiece, the characterisation of Celegorm is just so delicious in this.

dawn by swanmaiden - beautiful, gorgeous, so painful, Rían's grief and hopelessness are so vividly brought to the fore, and Annael's attempts to bring her back to herself have me with my head in my hands every time.

Like a Wave That Should Engulf the World by Arveldis - put me through all the feelings with Faramir foreseeing Éowyn's death but the love and tenderness which this oncoming grief brings out is what really makes this fic exemplary.

Writing Goals for 2025:

Finish and post a multichapter fic. (I've got several in the works and if I can get at least one posted that would be great!)

Post at least one of my Arien fics.

Post at least one fic featuring (a member of) Duinhir's family.

tagging @emyn-arnens @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras @dilettantefeminist @queerofthedagger if you'd like to do this (I'd love to see your answers!)

[nightie-after-midnight]

going to try to doodle some celegorome tonight

[piyo13sdoodles]

another explicit pic over on pillowfort, once again celegorm/orome because... why not....,.

[hobbitwrangler]

the rite of spring @swanmaids (Celegorm/Oromë) Greek myth vibes, violently vengeful Valar, wonderfully written horror - this kind of fic is why I am a Celegorome girlie.

With Nets, I Snare Thee by @emyn-arnens (Aredhel, Eöl, Maeglin) Love this take on Aredhel getting revenge on Eöl and how it taps into the creepy magic of Nan Elmoth, it's so satisfying.

Hewn and Sewn by @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras (Háma) This fic so perfectly captures the reasons that Helm's Deep is the most hard-hitting of the battles in lotr. Also it gave me about 15 extra Háma feelings.

A kiss in a moment of adrenaline by ohboromir (Círdan/Lalwen) The amount of sheer joy and sunshine the author manages to cram into such a short fic is stunning.

Maedhros' Good Report Card by @imakemywings (f!Maedhros/f!Thingol) The dynamic between these two is so sexy, I am obsessed with it. Sugar mommy Thingol, the woman that you are.

A Thing Strange and Crooked by @emyn-arnens (Idril & Maeglin) Such a realistic, creepy and crushing depiction of Maeglin's behaviour and how paralysed and isolated Idril is despite knowing what he is doing.

Happy Friday, Fellowship! 💛

Strange Beings (T, Celegorm/ Oromë, 2k)

They are strange beings, the Eldar, and Oromë loves them so.

Hi all! The first part of my Silmarillion sci-fi AU, People of the Stars, is up on Ao3 here! ☆

About the series: Do you love the Silmarillion? Do you love sci-fi? I have an AU for you. People of the Stars is about culture clashes and bridging cultural divides. It's about the interplay between good, evil, and moral shades of gray. It's about questioning: is everything one knows about the universe true? What kind of quest is worth undertaking? And what, in the end, is life for? But most of all, it's a love letter to the Silm and a chance for me to write about Elves... In space.

In this installment: Oromë, a lord of the Ayanūz, wonders how to show his affection to one of the Eldar. Not gonna lie; this is 2,000 words of Oromë being in love with Tyelko, with some explorations of culture and language thrown into the mix.

[glorf1ndel]

🍾?

Thank you! Instead of more Glorestor on my phone, you get Celegoromë on my computer. Cheers. XD

As hunting partners go, Celegorm and Oromë are different. Where Oromë is deliberate, Celegorm can be rash. He will take after the first rabbit he sees, with little heed to Oromë’s suggestions that a better target lies around the next tree. But when Celegorm throws his head back and laughs, soothing Oromë with a playful quip, the Vala forgets his frustrations. Celegorm himself is a wild thing, and Oromë delights in the hunt.

i just want orome to go with the noldor to middle earth. they are his elves whom he loves.

[swanmaids]

Nobody wants to hear about my deeply silly Celegorome modern au and yet. I want to post about it

[nighttimepatrons]

listen, Celegorome has it's merits. I just think Orogorm needs to be considered

[swanmaids]

meme #1

Favourite colour: Pink! I even have in my tinder bio that whoever matches me better be cool with my pink obsession hahaha

Last song: Walk Like This by FLO (eleven, this is like the ultimate celegorome song to me hahaha... if you listen you'll see why :'))

Last movie/TV show: I'm partway through Princess Kaguya

Next on my watch list: Azur and Asmar, it looks so pretty!

Last game: I don't play video games :(

Sweet/savoury/spicy: These questions are hard for me because I don't think you can have any without the other, a balance of all three is ideal

Hi!! Very curious about 'one of the girls' 👀🙏

it's probably exactly what you think it is :') this is the celegorome fic i've posted a couple of extracts from recently. the plot insofar as there is one involves celegorm attending a feast of the hunt while dressed as one of vana's handmaidens. for reasons. and then sex happens. and it also takes place in the same continuity as lords of the forest, tho can be read alone, so celegorm has made a mini jailbreak from formenos at this point. as well as the porn, i'm trying to dive a bit deep into celegorm's sexual psychology, which is a weird place to be at the best of times.

this is very very fun to write and will probably be ready pretty soon!

[nighttimepatrons]

heheh maybe i'll try to to do some celegorome for celegrom today
