Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Idril Celebrindal/Maeglin | Lómion/Tuor Characters: Idril Celebrindal, Tuor (Tolkien), Maeglin (Tolkien), Eärendil the Mariner (Tolkien) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Victorian, Trans Maeglin, Trans Female Character, Background Character Death, governess maeglin Summary:

Countess Idril and Earl Tuor might hate the fact that they can't look after Eärendil themselves all the time, but their responsibilities leave them in need of a governess to look after him and give him schooling.

Enter Miss Lómiel, a young woman of mysterious origins.

Elf names got more complicated as parents strove to create new ones instead of handling the political whiplash of reusing an old one. So if you meet an elf called ‘silver-river-water-voice’ they’re pretty young, but if some guy says ‘hi I’m Tree’ you best believe that bitch is ancient.

I think there's no better fandom to be a nerd in than the Tolkien fandom. Mostly thanks to the professor himself. People I know be like "You're learning a language just because of a book?! Girl, you're so obsessed!"

Well, at least I'm just learning a language, not inventing one! And at least it's just one language, not ten! You think my hour long rants are annoying? You can be glad my current obsession-level is maybe 5% of Tolkien's, or we'd be having an entirely different conversation right now.

Really, Tolkien was the worst of all of us, and no one can tell me otherwise. You can also see in the way he wrote his characters that he was just fangirling the entire time. I literally see him waking his wife in the middle of the night, like "I can't sleep, I just keep thinking about Fingon, he's so cool and epic and tragic and aahhhhhh!". I also think nothing makes a better story than the author being just as much in love with the characters as the fans are.

ÉOWYN, LADY OF THE SHIELD-ARM

"Not by the hand of man was the Lord of the Nazgul doomed to fall, and in that doom placed his trust. But he was felled by a woman and with the aid of a halfling, and I heard the fading of his last cry borne away by the wind."

- Gandalf (The War of the Ring, HoME vol. 8 )

Chapters: 8/9 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Celebrimbor | Telperinquar/Idril Celebrindal/Maeglin | Lómion/Tuor/Túrin Turambar, Celebrimbor | Telperinquar/Maeglin | Lómion, Idril Celebrindal/Maeglin | Lómion, Idril Celebrindal/Tuor, Maeglin | Lómion/Tuor, Idril Celebrindal/Maeglin | Lómion/Tuor, Maeglin | Lómion/Túrin Turambar Characters: Maeglin | Lómion, Celebrimbor | Telperinquar, Túrin Turambar, Tuor (Tolkien), Idril Celebrindal Additional Tags: War Prize, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Dubious Consent, prisoner maeglin, fear of non-con, please de-anon!, rated T for chapters 1-3 and E after, Trans Male Character, trans celebrimbor, Trans Maeglin, Bodice-Ripper Summary:

The Nirnaeth ends in a partial victory, but not everything is fixed by that. For one thing, the monster who imprisoned Aredhel and damaged her memories is still alive, and nearly all of Beleriand is upset with Thingol. And it just so happens that Nan Elmoth is reported to hold a secret key to the Girdle of Melian...

Idril, Celebrimbor, Túrin, and Tuor have very little trouble taking Nan Elmoth, and even killing Eöl is suprisingly easy. But in the process they manage to capture his son and take him as their prize, hoping to hold him to account and force the secrets of Doriath from him.

They weren't expecting him to be so sharp, so troublesome, so attractive...

I know I’m probably repeating myself but no other media or fandom has ever brought me this much comfort as Tolkien’s work and everything related to it. every time I read the books, watch the movies or tv show, play games or listen to the music it brings me so much peace and joy and no matter how much time passes I always look at those things with fond smile and affection cause this is my comfort place.

It needs to be said...

Elves with distinct and diverse appearances are always going to be 100x better than the long-haired, white, skinny, androgynous look copy/pasted everywhere.

I genuinely do not believe anyone who calls this "ugly" because it's simply not. Everything from the costuming to the jewelry and casting is carefully thought out and executed perfectly.

May I present... Caranthir the Dark.

Also, this was so incredibly satisfying to draw, even if it did take just a bit longer than my previous works. Plus it's my best digital piece as of now, and I'm incredibly proud of it!😁

Farwell at end of the War of Wrath.
