Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

Neither Law, Nor Love, Nor League of Swords by Kingsdaughter613
Fandom The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
05 Jul 2026
Summary
Tolkien built his world on a foundation of Germanic and Feudal Law. This series of vignettes was created to explore what happens if we take it seriously, and some of the spillover implications of doing so. Along the way it also became something of a character study, a tale told in vignettes across time.

Why did Thingol, Dior and Elwing want to get and want to keep the Silmaril? by EtDonaFerentes
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
17 May 2026
Tags
Summary
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about the Doom and about how Beren, Thingol, Dior and Elwing were justified in wanting/keeping the Silmaril, because it eventually led to Eärendil managing to get through the barriers that the Valar had erected around Valinor to keep that pesky, inconvenient war out and convincing the Valar to do their jobs.
But that was not why they did what they did. There is no indication whatsoever that Beren, Thingol, Dior and Elwing thought that keeping the Silmaril was necessary to fulfil some Doom and to save the world from Morgoth; instead, it’s clear that they all coveted the Silmaril at least in part for inherently selfish reasons.

All candidates hoping to be accepted into the Guild of Scholars in Gondor must successfully defend a thesis.

Mockingbird by Littlewhitemouse

Summary
One of his captains had asked him, “Maglor, do you not sleep beside with your brother when visiting him?” and Maglor had replied, “I do, as it makes it easier for me to sleep,” and his captain had said, “Which is good, because you do not usually sleep,” and Maglor had said, “I do not.”
But his captain had then asked, “but doesn’t Prince Fingon also bed with him, on account of their completely secret and frankly astounding incestuous affair that no one knows about (and I certainly don’t myself)?” and Maglor had replied, “Yes, and that makes it harder to sleep.”
On account of that being a full and complete explanation, Maglor’s captain had said, “Ah,” and that was the end of that conversation.

exit tax season, pursued by stork by PandaFlower

Summary
[“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]
In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.

“You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”
She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.
“Can you fly an A320?”
Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.
“Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”
-
Or; Maverick's red-eye flight home to San Diego is more eventful than he might have hoped.
