Fic Recs for Elrond Week 2024

Hello! Here’s a last-minute handful of Elrond-centric fic recs to wrap up Elrond Week 2024. (Time got away from me this week!)

These fics are all rated G or T, and I’ve loosely categorized them into groups so it’s a bit easier to parse through them. I also noted ones I recc’d in my 2023 Fic Recs list, which I posted on my main blog, @awwyeah107. I'm tagging each author in this list once (if they have a Tumblr account), although there may be more than one story from an author in the list.

Also, to clarify, none of these were written *for* Elrond Week—these are all simply fics about our beloved peredhel that I've enjoyed and wanted to share/recommend.

Massive shoutout to @meluiloth for putting on Elrond Week! I’ve greatly enjoyed seeing all the posts this week cross my dash. Also, thank you to all of the fic authors, fan artists, and meta writers out there who celebrate Elrond ❤️

Elrond & [Biological or Married] Family

The Complexities of Avian Biology by @runawaymun Celebrían takes on a charity case. Elrond helps, because of course he does. Some Celrond fluff by request. (Oneshot, G, 776 words)

Without depth or bound by waitingfover Love is never an easy emotion to navigate, particularly if you also hate the other person's guts. or Elrond doesn’t like Celebrían’s attitude, Celebrían hates Elrond’s guts, Gil-Galad is determined to play matchmaker, and Celebrimbor just wants to be left out of this drama. (23 chapters, complete! T, 29k words)

Wealth Enough of Joy by @starspray Elladan and Elrohir are born at twilight in summer. (Oneshot, G, 1.6k words. Recc’d this in my 2023 Fic Recs list)

Athelas by erulisse_starchild Estel gets a lesson in herb-lore from Elrond. (Oneshot, G, 831 words)

Hiding Places by @sweetteaanddragons (Drag0nst0rm on AO3) It had been a long time since Elrond was last under a bed. The novelty was probably good for him. (Oneshot, G, 437 words)

Kind as Summer by @arofili (starlightwalking on AO3) Elrond and his family, after the First Age. A collection of ficlets from tumblr prompts, loosely related to one another. (8 chapters, complete! G, 2.1k words)

More than the Stars Above by sweetteaanddragons (Drag0nst0rm on AO3) Elrond had lived without his parents for this long. He could certainly continue to do so if they proved to be indifferent. That didn't stop his hand from shaking when he reached out to knock on the door. (2 chapters, complete! G, 5.6k words. Recc’d this in my 2023 Fic Recs list)

Blossoming Red by @bralesscommie Snapshots of Elrond throughout his life. A character study. Elrond dealing with his trauma, and finding his rare moments of joy. (Oneshot, T, 4.9k words)

Elrond & Friends

Demons by @theheirofashandfire (ScribeofArda on AO3) On a dark night in Imladris, with the Watchful Peace having come to a bloody end, one elf finds that the darkness brings back unwanted memories of flames and fear. And Glorfindel can remember all of the fall of Gondolin. (Oneshot, T, 4.5k words)

Old Swords by StarSpray Elrond and Gandalf chat about Glamdring. (Oneshot, G, 661 words)

Primary Sources by @cycas (bunn on AO3) Bilbo Baggins, now living in Rivendell is working on his Translations from the Elvish and needs some help. He learns a few things about Elven board games, plumbing and housework in Rivendell, a little bit about the War of Wrath, and something about Elrond's family. It might just be that making songs about Eärendil in the House of Elrond was not something that Elrond himself considered to be over Bilbo's head. (Oneshot, G, 4.4k words)

Kidnap Fam

Note: All of the Kidnap Fam fics here are Elrond-centric—either they are from his perspective, or they primarily focus on Elrond and Maglor and/or Maedhros.

And Love Repaid by sweetteaanddragons (Drag0nst0rm on AO3) It was never about owing. (Oneshot, G, 2.3k words)

See How They Grow by @grundyscribbling (Grundy on AO3) Elrond wasn't born a great healer. Some would have said living among Feanorians was an unlikely place to start that journey. (Maglor probably would have agreed with them.) (Oneshot, G, 11.7k words)

Rosemary, Fennel, & Rue by grundyscribbling (Grundy on AO3) Maedhros stumbles onto an unhealthy secret Elrond has been keeping. Elrond is surprised to find Maedhros has experience in these matters. (Oneshot, G, 5.7k words)

Once They Were Wolves by @elentarial (BaccaratBlack on AO3) After receiving an unexpected Midwinter gift, Elrond learns something new about one of his captors fathers. (2 chapters, complete! G, 2.4k words)

Quiet by sweetteaanddragons (Drag0nst0rm on AO3) Dust blanketed Maglor’s harp where it sat undisturbed in the corner. (Oneshot, G, 566 words)

Series

On Elrond Peredhel by @elvinye (leodesic on AO3) A series examining Elrond's kidnap-adoption [and Elrond himself] from a variety of different perspectives. (In-progress series of 13 works, each between 1-2 chapters, all rated T or G. Only AO3 users can read this fic.) (Note: For anyone who does not ship Russingon—like me—the series does contain it, but it is minor and can be skipped over fairly easily.)

Return to Aman by cycas (bunn on AO3) A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...) (Complete series of 15 works, each between 1-5 chapters, all rated G. Recc’d this in my 2023 Fic Recs list)

AUs

The Last Homely Hostel by sweetteaanddragons (Drag0nst0rm on AO3) Barin was nearly entirely sure this hostel wasn't supposed to be here. It won't be the last unexpected appearance of the night. (Oneshot, G, 5k words)

we will make this place our home by @leucisticpuffin Elrond and Elros are sent to live with their distant cousins in a house that is crumbling slowly to pieces. They aren't especially happy about this. For Maedhros and Maglor, the twins are a rare chance to start living again. It will take a lot of work to turn a house full of ghosts into anything resembling a home. (70 chapters, in-progress! G, 259.5k words. Only AO3 users can read this fic. Recc’d this in my 2023 Fic Recs list)

silm smut fic rec

@silmsmutweek is winding down, and in the spirit of challenge participation and appreciation of the many great smut fics in this fandom, i've jotted down a list of some non-event related smut fics that absolutely shaped the way i read and write smut.

these are just a few - the true list of favourite smut fic is enormous, and growing every day, in good part due to the mods and everyone who also participated in this event!

Flying Like A Bird To You Now by Harp_of_Gold. @foxindarkness

"He’d betrayed his lover in more ways than he could count; no joyful reunion with the Lord of Trees could be expected. He owed apologies and more to an awful lot of people, but first and foremost to Oromë. That’s where he’d start, and when his beloved had crushed those futile hopes, perhaps he’d be able to move on." Celegorm is re-embodied in Valinor.

A welcome distraction, by firstamazon. @ettelene

Nerdanel is trying to work, but Fëanor has other ideas.

in the afterglow by lonelyvisitor for starlightwalking @i-am-a-lonely-visitor

For how long it’s been, darling, since we had one of our long talks, you must see this novelty of Curvo’s, but really any excuse for your company, come at once, or anyway as soon as I’ve finished with the chorus practice, it will be about the sixth hour. And informal attire, Turno, I must beg, you know I get itchy even looking at you sometimes…

prick a finger, cut your hand by welcoming_disaster. @welcomingdisaster

Míriel finds her rooms just as the sun sets over the horizon. She comes, as ever, with her hood drawn up over her face, wearing the simple white-and-silver robes of the unwed maidens that come and study poetry under Indis. The white symbolizes purity, the silver steadfastness. Sacrilege, Indis thinks, watching Míriel slip off her cloak and hang it delicately on the back of a dining chair, it is sacrilege.

Bow and Helm and Hand by jouissants. @jouissants

“It’s been far too long since you’ve journeyed with us, Mablung,” Túrin says. Mablung gives a rueful smile. “I go where I am ordered, and King Thingol orders me elsewhere. You have made yourselves too great a name together to be parted, and in that you are fortunate."

a most faithful vassal by starlightwalking. @arofili

Lord Fingon summons his favorite servant to keep him company on a lonely night.

Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside by BloodwingBlackbird. @bloodwingblackbird

For the prompt Maglor/Halbarad, public sex.

Of Changing and Shifing Shape, by polutropos. @polutrope

Daeron is the beneficiary of Lúthien's Maia shapeshifting prowess. They have a nice time in a treehouse that isn't a prison.

pulls you back, by orphaned account.

Maglor wanders the shore.

[pilferingapples]

a sweet fic about Fauchelevent and the other gardeners in the novel meeting again!

[unendingwanderlust]

It's a blackout! Bingo card from @feedthefandomfest.

All the fics I read and commented on (aka massive fic rec list!) below the cut!

Fandoms: 12 Tolkien (Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, the Hobbit) fics, 11 Buffy the Vampire Slayer fics, and a couple of Lost Girl fics because I'm nostalgic.

Sex Pollen/Fuck or Die: The Art of Control by zombiesam (BtVS, Buffy/Giles, 5056 words)

Giles and Buffy are stuck in the library together after a succubus blasts them with a particularly nasty poison. Giles learns a thing or two about Buffy along the way.

Threesome: How Drusilla Saved Christmas by TheClowniestLivInExistence (BtVS, Drusilla/Buffy/Spike, 3070 words)

Drusilla doesn't want to spend Christmas alone. She doesn't want her Spike to be alone, either. Unfortunately, he was a silly boy and hadn't managed to romance the Slayer yet. But no worries. Mummy knows how to fix things.

Shower Sex: A Quiet Moment by eurydice72 (BtVS, Buffy/Spike, 1003 words)

When you come back from the dead, quiet moments are hard to find.

Sex Magic: Grave Clothes by Skyson (BtVS, Buffy/Giles, 7272 words)

Giles used magic to help Willow feel again. He helps Buffy with that, too. It's Grave, but shippy. Well, more shippy than canon already was.

Angst & Fluff & Smut: Where Do Dwarves Go When They Die? by LittleMissCactus (LotR, Gimli/Legolas, 1262 words)

Legolas begins to understand the implications of what it means to love a mortal. Gimli comforts him the only way he knows how.

Size Difference: Lazy Day by starlightwalking (LotR, Gimli/Legolas, 1742 words)

Legolas insists on spending all day in bed.

Rough Sex: Don't trust the Fae by Ben_Phantomhive (LotR, Boromir/Legolas, 1921 words)

Legolas catches Boromir taking care of himself when he should be on watch, so he decides to help him.

Fingering: A House of Nettles by Ias (LoTR/Silmarillion, Tar-Míriel/Éowyn, 6494 words)

Éowyn is not healed. Inside of her, something hungry lives on.

BDSM: Blood to Iron by Tyellas (Silmarillion, Maedhros/Fingon, 3703 words)

The origin story for "Ansereg AU" slash, featuring Fingon, Maedhros, and elegant, deliberate sadomasochism.

Public/Semi-Public Sex: Sweet (Enough to Eat) by zombiesam (BtVS, Buffy/Giles, 1935 words)

Buffy discovers something new about herself when Giles gets into one of his moods.

Dom/sub (undertones): fairest maiden in tirion by Anonymous (Silmarillion, Curufin/Finrod, 1000 words)

Findaráto blinked at him and smiled sweetly; in that rotten way that Findaráto did anything sweetly in the first place, his eyes cold and too bright. “You must be so very displeased you couldn’t marry me, Curvo."

[Mommy] Kink: kiss it better by TechnicolorRevel (BtVS, Faith/Buffy, 2438)

Buffy jams her finger, and Faith teaches her something new about herself.

FREE: WICKED COOL by Val_Creative (BtVS, Willow/Vampire!Willow, 700 words)

Vampire Willow doesn't know how the hell she got here, but she's enjoying this new side of Willow.

Drunk Sex: Staying Alive by hchollym (LotR, Aragorn/Gimli/Legolas, 5128 words)

After the victory at Helm’s Deep, the Three Hunters celebrate still being alive for another night.

Sex Toys: The Edge of Flames by BaccaratBlack (Silmarillion, Elwing/Maedhros, 5687 words)

After ages together as unlikely companions on Elwing’s lonely isle, she has her ways of both comforting and haunting Maedhros.

Orgasm Delay: the face of someone (i don't know) by guin_ramble and zombiesam (BtVS, Giles/Buffy, 9593 words so far)

Buffy, newly resurrected and in the throes of depression, seeks comfort in all the wrong places. When her despairs threatens to completely overwhelm her, she turns to the person she trusts most.

Rimming: Aphrodite Awakening by BaccaratBlack (Silmarillion, Celegorm/Oromë, 1298 words)

Celegorm is not above playing a little dirty to get what he wants. Orome, as usual, is tired and underestimates Celegorm’s intensity when it comes to sex.

Shameless Smut: On Borrowed Time by Arbryna (Lost Girl, Bo/Tamsin, 1557 words)

What if the time loop didn't restart as quickly as we thought?

[Blood] Play: kiss that’s black as sea by evesock (BtVS, Wishverse!Buffy/Vampire!Willow, 4879 words)

Buffy hooks up with a vampire in a sleazy motel. Written for Otherworldly Chemistry's Femslash Ficathon!

PWP: Beyond the pale by Morgause1 (Silmarillion, Morgoth/Sauron, 4841 words)

Freshly promoted to the position of First Lieutenant, Mairon gets the dubious honor of standing guard in the rare occasions the Vala retires to his bed. This is a strange, disconcerting duty, which leaves the Maia thinking and feeling things that are not only highly improper, but are downright dangerous.

Phone Sex: Warmest Part of the Winter by dollylux (The Hobbit, Bard/Thranduil, 11315 words)

Thranduil has to leave town suddenly for work, leaving Bard with their four kids.

Fluff & Smut: The Best Gift... by ElleV (BtVS, Buffy/Giles, 4556 words)

Some might say the best gift is a gift for two.

Come Eating/Swallowing: lukhdel by enbyofdionysus (The Hobbit, Bilbo/Thorin, 4048 words)

"Your fourteenth share," said Thorin, running his hand along the side of his cock. "If you should want it, Master Burglar." Bilbo fucks Thorin on the hoard of Thror.

Double Penetration: Finished by girlpire (BtVS, Darla/Angelus/Spike/Drusilla, 1443 words)

As often happens when William engages in a new-to-him sexual activity with his family, he doesn't really understand what's going on at first.

Or: Sometimes people say it's hard to get Angelus to take it up the ass in fic. I present a counterpoint.

Oral Sex: But Not Like That by LittleRock17 (Lost Girl, Bo/Tamsin, 8710 words)

Bo made her way towards the woman, hiding in the nearby crowd since the blonde was looking around, trying to find the brave or rather stupid person that just bought her a drink. She gave up and glared at the bartender, who just raised his shoulders, making her know he wasn’t going to talk. Finally, the blonde picked up the martini and when she was about to drink, Bo made her entrance. "I thought you weren't taking any drinks from strangers." The Succubus said playfully. The glass never touched the blonde’s lips. "Bo." She left the drink on the counter and turned around to face the younger fae. "It hasn't been so long... I thought you would remember how I like my vodka." Her trademark smirk present on her face. . . . Being in a Dark Fae bar on Valentine's Day was depressing but Bo's hunger couldn't wait. She expected to find someone - anyone - to satisfie her hunger with but she never imagined she would get so lucky. Or maybe she did not. Valkubus.

a brutally cold chill,  the shadows of dusk settling in,  a roaring river, snow crunching under boots, a gentle breeze whispering,  the thundering of rocks falling,  the feeling of unease before a storm,  the warmth of the summer sun,  drenched roads reflecting moving lights,  the crash of ocean waves,  the solitude of a forest clearing,  the feeling of grass on bare feet,  a blizzard so dense one may get lost, a clear & starry sky,  the joy of splashing in puddles,  fog rolling in unexpectedly,  the crack of distant thunder,  a distant howl that makes hair stand on end,  the blistering heat of a desert,  unending prairies of waving grass,  listening for the sound of crickets beginning to sing,  sand getting between the toes,  a gentle dusting of snow,  climbed trees and scuffed knees,  a bog lurking in a shadowed wood,  a downpour that traps you inside,  skipping pebbles on a still surface,  looking for shapes in the shifting clouds,  a sandstorm stinging skin,  the cracking twigs from an unseen animal,  lightning so bright it lights up the sky,  a rainbow peeking out from behind rain clouds, rolling hills that are perfect for rolling down,  tiny plants stubbornly growing in pavement cracks.

Chapter 5 of my WIP is up! In which Maitimo and Findekáno process some surprising (but exciting!) news, inform Findekáno's family about recent events, and have a celebration. ft. cameos of the Nolofinweans, Nerdanel, and Indis...and ending with some smut!

Interested, but not following the fic yet? Well, if you want to read about Maitimo brute-forcing his way out of an unwanted arranged marriage, start here with chapter 1!

(the og was getting long enough that my nd brain did Not want to comprehend it so i cut it down, but check out @sundere1181's previous rb for everyone elses!!)

also SUN ILY FOR THIS <3 <3 <3 (/p /affectionate)

|-| Actually yeah! I have around seven years' experience playing the clarinet and have been working on becoming a vocalist (more as a hobby, but who knows.) I also desperately want to learn guitar, specifically bass. |-|

|-| Oh man, this changes a lot. But off the top of my head: Brand Saint John from The Tarot Sequence, Violet from Dark Rise by CS Pacat (all of those characters actually oml <3), and Kevin Day from the AFTG series (don't @ me, he's pathetic and also deserved better). |-|

|-| Sagittarius, babey!!! |-|

|-| Hm. Either crimson/white/tan color schemes, pale lavender/purple/silver, or dark navy centered color schemes. |-|

|-| Either, or. Any sleep is good sleep (especially with the "insomnia lite" I've got going on)|-|

|-| One right now, but I've been learning Spanish for the past couple of years (still bad at it, sadly) and want to learn ASL next! |-|

|-| Uh. Currently, it's just to get to a point in my life where I can work a chill night job and be on a night schedule, while also just kind of. Being secure. Nothing extravagant. Maybe write some books on the side/produce some music. |-|

|-| Short all the way! I've had long hair before (for a long time), but my hair is THICK and after a certain point, tangles literally when I just move, and I honestly prefer a shorter style. (Also, not taking an upwards of three+ hours to dry after a shower is nice, too.) |-|

|-| Tea, but only when I'm sick (I'd recommended nettle tea for sore throats, it tastes like wet grass lump no matter what you do, but I am not even kidding when I say it's the most effective thing for sore throats. Nothing has even come close to the near-instant relief it brings. Just buy a shitty box of it, boil some water, and try to stomach the taste, and I promise. It's like actual magic how quickly it works.

(Coffee gives me a short burst of energy, then knocks me out for several hours and leaves me feeling like I just dragged myself through hell lmao.) |-|

|-| Fictional world. That's just what writing/reading is, isn't it? |-|
