Niennandil Advent Calendar Day 1

Happy Holidays everyone!! This year everyday including Christmas, I'm hoping to share a short story about Yule and it's celebration in Arda in my favorite AU of the whole legendarium, the Niennandil-verse! Things are pretty complicated, I will admit (I can't keep track of my own stories XD) so at the end of each chapter, I'll include some context for the different ocs and everything! I hope you all enjoy!

---------------------------------

        Nienna’s gift list grew longer every year. New children were born and new elves sailed to Tol Eressa. This year, however, there were even more. Olorín had returned and with him came two hobbits and one being, named Sméagol, who was not truly a hobbit anymore but she loved him just the same. All of them, besides Sméagol, had received a keg of her famous lemonade. Sméagol got caviar. She had planned on giving him an outfit, but Vairë and Fíriel had supplied Sméagol, Bilbo, and Frodo with fifty outfits each. They were so delighted by the little ones.

        There was of course the Ainur she worked with. They were to have a party tomorrow as they did every year. Mairon would be joining them for the first time ever along with his friend Lómion. She was a little bit worried about how everything would go with Mairon as many were wary of him. Though she was planning on doing everything in her power to make it a success. It was the first Yule he would be celebrating with them after all!

        But right now she was going to visit the elf family she was closest to, the House of Nerdanel and Fëanor. When she came to their house for their annual Yule feast, she was met with a cheer and a tight hug from Maglor. Despite her seeing him earlier this morning. Soon much of the family joined in and she was rather crushed and crowded in amongst Fëanor, Nerdanel, their seven children, six spouses, five grandkids, one great-granddaughter, and a dog. Celebrían and Fíriel stood on the edge, laughing.

        “Can we have presents now?” Niennamírë asked. They were Gwindor’s and Maedhros’s little orcling who had been recently reembodied and adopted into the family.

        “We must wait until Lady Nienna is ready,” Niennarille, Mírë’s older brother, hissed. Nienna leaned down next to the orclings and handed them each a package.

        “It’s a little early but these are for you,” Nienna said. Mírë eagerly ripped into the paper of theirs and unwrapped a stack of books.

        “I’m going to learn how to read! I’m going to read all about ada and atto!” Mírë squealed, hugging their books tightly in their arms.

        “We do not know this yet,” Rille cautioned.

        “Of course you will, Mírë, you as well Rille,” Maedhros assured, “Rille, why don’t you open your package?”

        Rille turned his parcel over in his hand, sniffing it and feeling every corner, “I don’t know.”

        “I can tell you what’s inside it if it would make you feel better, or we can open it together,” Nienna assured him.

        “I want to know what’s inside,” Rille said.

        “Okay, I got you a plush of a warg as I know those are your favorite animals,” Nienna explained. Rille ‘s lips turned up as he slowly undid the wrapping paper. Sure enough inside was a warg with silver fur made of the softest silk and an emerald bow. 

        Rille stroked the warg’s fur, “Thank you…”

        “You are so welcome,” Nienna wiped away some tears that came at the siblings’ joy. This is why she gave gifts. It was another way for those she loved to be able to know that.

--------------------------------------

Lanthie here! Thanks for reading day one!

Okay so this one takes place in the fourth age and here are some of the changes: Sméagol lives! Mairon/Sauron gets reembodied and is now living in the halls of Nienna. I'm a big Gwindor x Maedhros shipper (and the one that I know of off the top of my head (I'm so sorry if you ship them too and I forgot >.<), I might even be one of the very first?!) and in my verse they get married and adopt two orclings. Orcs get reembodied in my verse, as orcs. Mírë and Rille have no clue who their biological parents are, Nienna and the rest of the Valar are trying to figure that out in case Mírë and Rille want to meet them someday.

Anyways this was some really fun fluff, I love Mírë and Rille! I wish I paid more attention to them tbh.

[councilofelrond]

Kind of a comedic concept (I know, so unusual!) but I’ve been thinking about Sauron in the Fourth Age and more and more in becomes clear that the best punishment is…

To make him guard the Shire, of course! What better punishment than to be forced to protect what you hate the most?

Naturally, I came up with several concepts for this, including the following:

- He can’t get past Bree. He can go TO Bree, but no further

- Hobbit children have officially declared him their uncle. If someone becomes an orphan and vanishes, chances are they went to learn from or live with ‘that fae who’s everyone’s uncle for some reason we cannot seem to decipher’

- Frodo vaguely recognizes the voice, but Sauron’s accent (yes this goes with my ‘Irish Umaiar’ headcanon what of it) is much thicker in person. also, he seems harmless.

- “I may hate you all, but you better bloody believe I will protect you until my last feckin’ breath!” - Sauron at some point

- Gets attached to one extremely odd Hobbit girl and adopts her

- Occasionally, a three eyed wolf appears and wanders around with Pippin for a week

- Gets adopted by Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

- Helps fight Saruman maybe

- when he takes the form of a white wolf (the only other form he’s allowed to take, and it pisses him off) the Hobbit kids literally will not let go of him. This despite the fact he is absolutely massive, has three eyes, has enormous fangs and claws, and his fur sometimes seems to glow like fire from within.

- Bickers with the people in Bree, but they also owe him lots of money because he keeps beating them at cards at the Prancing Pony

- Teaches people how to make Orcish grog

- To everyone’s shock, Orcish grog is delicious. The only downside is you can become extremely reckless and also you get a miserable hangover

- SOMEONE ADOPTS A BABY ORC

- said baby Orc is from Gundabad and within a few years is already taller than Hobbit children twice their age

- Sauron has literally never been more confused. People want to learn Angbandian and Orcish because he keeps cussing in them and they want to know what he’s saying

- It’s hilarious until the baby Hobbits pick up on his cussing and start USING THE WORDS

- He has to explain what they me to the smol Hobbits, who then immediately go home cussing in Westron instead

- Sauron isn’t sure what else he expected

- Has to explain to a horrified Merry that the Witch-King was not actually his son, he just adopted him. Then he realizes ‘wait never mind he was—wait no Hobbit DO NOT APOLOGIZE OH SWEET VOID I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS’

- Sauron teaches the Hobbits how to say thank you in Orcish.

- It roughly means ‘I will not hurt you’

- When this is discovered, everyone IMMEDIATELY panics and becomes very protective of the baby Orc, who’s just vibing and Does Not Get It

In short, it’s just organized chaos. Yes, Sauron is a card shark. Yes, I make the rules. No, I will not elaborate.

(well not until I write the fic). If you wish to learn more, the tag for this silliness is ‘hobbits adopt sauron au’

Start of a Hobbit AU

So, I know this is a popular topic but I just couldn't resist starting my own version of this:

*** "It is beautiful, isn't it?" Bilbo turned to his nephew and he lay a hand in his curled hair. "Aye, it is, my dear boy. Valinor, the undying lands." "You used to tell me stories about them." Frodo remarked, one hand still over the old Morgol wound on his shoulder. "I used to spend hours drawing and painting what it might look like but none of them came close to this. I don't think even if I had seen it, in some far off dream, would I have been able to replicate it." "Such is the wonder of Aman." The soft, almost angelic voice behind them gave way to a fading white life that was the Lady of Light, Galadriel. Her smile, as always, was welcoming and warm. "As Middle Earth was meant to be once, before it was marred by Morgoth." She knelt and lay her hand over Frodo's. "I promise you, Ring Bearer, you will find comfort here." Frodo smiled but Bilbo saw the raw pain in those eyes. The pain that comes with leaving those you find so dear behind you. He knew that pain all too well. It was not one healed, even by the lands of the Spirits and Gods. He gave a nod of encouragement and Frodo met Gandalf at the door and followed him up to the deck. To the Lady Galadriel, he waited and then, once alone, she spoke. "You wish something of me, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire?" "Aye, I do." He bowed lightly to her. "I would ask something of you milady." "Ask, dear Hobbit. I cannot guarantee anything but I shall listen and do what I can. You began the downfall of Sauron. A small ripple in an ocean of possibilities." He took a breath and locked eyes with her, "I would meet with Manwe, if I could." She laughed, a lovely sound and not one done out of distain but rather out of genuine contentment. "Oh, Bilbo Baggins. Mithrandir is right to view all Hobbits but you especially with such high regard. You have not yet taken step on Aman and yet you request his counsel?" "I do, Milady. As soon as I may. If he insists on refusing then do be so kind as to inform him that Bilbo Baggins will plant himself firmly as near to him as possible and will carry on a conversation as if he were by my side. And I will do so until he would acknowledge me." Galadriel smiled, again, that gentle, caring smile. "Not many would risk the wrath of Manwe, Bilbo Baggins." "It would be far more unpleasant to risk the wrath of Bilbo Baggins. I can name many a folk that can attest to that. Mortal though I am, it, in many ways, makes me far more adept at being unpleasant if it suits my fancy." The elven Queen offered her hand. "Come. I will appeal to Manwe on your behalf." "Many thanks, gentle Galadriel."

** "Bilbo Baggins, I swear of all the Hobbits of the world, you are undoubtedly, the most obstinate." "I will not argue with you, dear Gandalf." Bilbo remarked as they took step by step together down the shore. "All the same, Lady Galadriel insists that I have been granted my audience." "Out of pure curiosity, I am sure and no small amount of mercy." Gandalf shook his head. "My dear Hobbit, take care. Manwe, though having a deep heart of caring, is not openly hospitable. He was not thrilled at the prospect of non-elven kind on these shores but he has relented. You, while an honored guest, are a guest all the same!" "I shall not forget it, Gandalf." Bilbo assured him even as he stopped to gather his breath. "Nor am I ungrateful. But I must make my request of him alone. I hope you would grant Frodo some of your time. I shall return if I am able." The older wizard scowled and blew a puff of smoke on his pipe. "You are not aware of how truthful that statement may be, my dear Bilbo. Mind your tongue." "I will mind it as much as I do with others who are worthy of it." Gandalf shook his head but he lay one hand on the Hobbit's shoulder. "I do not know what you have to ask of him but do with grace." "As a proper Baggins should." "Yes yes but as you are all too fond of reminding me, that Tookish blood runs fierce in you as well." But Gandalf left it at that and withdrew, leaving Bilbo at the base of Mount Taniquetil. It stretched above him far beyond what he could imagine seeing but he stood, still and silent for quite some time. Finally, a figure approached him. He did not see where he had come from but he did not waste time pondering it. Rather, he stayed where he was, standing up straight and the man-like figure drew closer. Clothed in flowing robes of blue and purple, hair that spiraled long and soft as the clouds above, and eyes that pierced everywhere at once, the distance between them closed until it was simply Hobbit and Valar. "So, this is the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins that has the strength of heart and will to ask for me, is it?" Bilbo looked upward at him. "Aye, it is. Am I to take it that you are Vala Manwe, Lord of the Breath of Arda?" "So I am. What would you have of me, youngling?" Bilbo, despite his advanced age, chuckled, "I suppose to you, all things are young. I come to you with an unusual request though I suspect me coming at all is unusual enough." "So it is." "I am grateful for the gift that has been offered me. Aman is beautiful, beyond all account of measure and my spirit feels weary no longer among these shores." He paused and laid a hand over his chest. "But my heart is still heavy. I may have served my purpose in this war but there was more I could have done." "You and your halfling kin did more than even the Valar thought you capable of." "Perhaps but I am unsatisfied. I come to you with a request, Lord Manwe. A chance to correct those mistakes. I would ask that, in exchange for my remaining time, however short it may be, among these Blessed Lands, I be allowed to return to the time of the Quest for Erebor and set right my wrongs." The sky itself seemed to rumble. "You jest, Hobbit." "On the contrary, Lord Manwe," Bilbo bowed again. "I am quite serious. Though it may be beyond your power, it is not beyond Illuvatar's." "It is not customary  for Iluvatar to be granting desires of mortals when life does not go as they would wish--" "Not accustomed but he HAS allowed it. As I recall, he allowed the adoption of the dwarves. He allowed the return of Luthien as a mortal woman. I do not pretend to be as worthy as those but I am requesting that it be presented unto him, all the same." Bilbo folded his arms, "If he does not permit it, I shall accept as such but I cannot rest until it is at least presented. If I am to be given any gift for my service to Middle Earth, I would wish it to be thus." "What drives such a desire," This question came from above. Not from Manwe. No, this was feminine and the stars above seemed to shimmer in a smile. "Lady Varda, I presume. Or do you prefer Elebereth as the elves know you?" "Either, young Hobbit." She spoke again, "My husband is not always best with words. What drives such a desire, I ask you again." "The same desire of Iluvatar, for his world, his children." Bilbo answered. "Love. I ask the chance to stop needless death, ease the pain of parting and to save those dwarves that are family to me. I once crossed Middle Earth for them. I shall cross Aman for them as well, for the chance to right a most egregious wrong." He took a deep breath. "I do not presume to be worthy of this chance. But I am asking for Iluvatar's mercy in hearing me, all the same."

More of the Sauron Adopts Hobbits AU

Frodo is five when Sauron meets him. Sauron has to lie down to be eye to eye with him, but still, he smiles his half-smile at the child.

“Hullo!” Frodo says happily, unsuspecting of who the person he’s just met is—he is not yet old enough to be told the stories.

“Hello,” Sauron says, but it’s really a rasp.

“Why is your voice like that?” Frodo asks.

“An accident.” Frodo frowns.

“Did it hurt?”

“Yes. A little.” Sauron is lying. It had been excruciating, but the child doesn’t need to know that.

“Oh.” They lapse into a comfortable silence. Frodo smiles at Sauron.

“What’s your name?” he asks.

“Thû.” It’s simple and easy to pronounce. His true name is not.

“That’s a nice name. What’s your family name?”

“I don’t have one, really.”

“Oh,” Frodo says for what has to be the fifth time.

They meet when Frodo turns seven, and Frodo ‘stows away’ as Sauron retains firmly, but in reality, he let Frodo come. He’s become fond of the child, after all.

Kinda want a Vikings Tolkien au...

Imagine Ivar as an angry little dwarf with a love for his axes and hatred for elves. He can’t grow a beard and thinks that he’s absolutely ugly because of that and his legs. He generally hates most of Middle Earth, but he especially hates the Elves with their dumb love for Eru who barely does a thing for them unlike the Valar who is much more involved. 

Ivar as a broad shouldered, muscular, short dwarf with his small legs that Floki has managed to make crutches for along with the magnificent carriage along with a ram, running through battle to murder orcs and anything that crosses his path. Imagine Ivar is royal dwarven dress with the grand gems and all the pretty golds and silvers and mithril. 

and Imagine he and his brothers end up going on a quest, brought together by a mysterious hooded figure, to get revenge on their father who’d been murdered by the corrupted King Aelle, an elf that had betrayed his kin and started to worship Sauron. 

Imagine this is how Ubbe, who really doesn’t want to be the next heir to the crown and just wants to settle down with a gal and raise warrior rams and boars or be a blacksmith, meets Margrethe a hobbit, or a dwarrowdam from another kingdom, who isn’t so bad even if she does impolitely stare at Ivar’s legs. 

And there’s probably some elf woman on the journey who was invited because this ‘mysterious hooded figure’ is quite the matchmaker, and on Ivar’s terms is not very fond of keeping his head. (Plus she’s probably one of Elrond’s fiercest warriors.)

The others on this quest are Halfdan the Black and Harald Finehair who are kinda just there for the orc slaughter and the promise of gold (and some sketchy ulterior motives) along with Floki and Helga, who insists to want revenge after their little pebble was murdered by Orcs. Bjorn is there, mostly just grumpy and grunting about a lot while his mother’s consort, an adventurous human lass, Astrid seems to tempt him. 

Also Athelstan was an adorable Hobbit Monk who worshiped with the elves and Ragnar totally (adopted and fell in love with) kidnapped him and practically made him his consort....

I just need a Middle Earth/Vikings crossover au thing nowwww!!!!

(i got carried away, idk what i’m doing, someone send help,or better ideas if you have any)

More Witcher/Hobbit/LoTR AU stuff Pt. 1 (unabashedly ruining canon):

Frodo is Bilbo’s adopted son who was taken in after his parents die at the hands of Drowners.

He resides in the crumbling Witcher keep which sits on the boundaries of the Northern Wastes.

Bilbo refuses to let Frodo go through with the mutation that would let him become a witcher (knowing full well what the procedure entails). 

Under the supervision of Gandalf, a Wizard, Frodo undergoes partial witcher training, sans mutation.

One day Gandalf takes Frodo with him to the Misty Mountains to deal with goblins that are terrorizing the roads winding through the mountain’s passes.

In an unfortunate turn of events Frodo discovers a magical artifact that once belonged to Sauron, a tenacious evil sealed away by Witchers ages ago (at a high cost).

Bearing such a powerful magical object, Frodo unintentionally (and unknowingly) sets events in motion that threaten to obliterate Middle-Earth one of which being the release of Sauron from his imprisonment. 

After returning to the Witcher’s keep, Frodo travels off to the Shire to visit family while Bilbo is away dealing with Erebor’s dragon infestation and Gandalf disappears on urgent business. 

The visit is cut short when nine black-clad riders (they’re literally the wild hunt) invade the Shire and chase Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin all the way to Rivendell; Frodo is mortally wounded when their pursuers take advantage of a misstep. 

While the ring-bearer is pursued war breaks out in the east shortly after Smaug is slain.

The Guardian the Hobbits all knew well. He lurked at the borders and slipped through the streets, tall and menacing but friendly enough. Even if he did stand twice as tall as they did.

“Hello!” Pippin called out to him sometimes. “How are you on this fine day?”

The reply was always, “I’ve been better and I’ve been worse. Can’t complain.”

Pippin would always nod as if this was fascinating to him and the Guardian would continue his wandering.

This is actually pretty new! The idea behind it is that in the Fourth Age Sauron was punished by being forced to guard the Shire and Bree from danger. No one has recognized him...yet.
