A Missed Opportunity (a Scene I Wish They'd Given Us At The End Of Episode 7 Or Beginning Of Episode

Being "kind as summer" means Elrond always gets the benefit of the doubt...

Elrond (sidling up to Gil-galad during a break in an important conference): I thought I should tell you: I punched one of the lords from Greenwood.

Gil-galad (arches a brow): My! You have had a much more interesting day than I have! Oh, well. I'm sure he deserved it.

When I first saw the elf vs balrog scene, I was wondering

"Is it Glorfindel?"

“It speaks of a battle, high among the peaks of the Misty Mountains. Not over honor or duty but over a tree, within which some claim was hidden the last of the lost Silmarils. On one side fought an elven warrior, with a heart as pure as Manwë, who poured all of his light into the tree to protect it. On the other, a Balrog of Morgoth, who channeled all his hatred into the tree to destroy it. Amidst their duel unending, lightning ensnared the tree, forging of their conflict, a power.”

“A power as pure and light as good. As strong and unyielding as evil. They say it seeped down the roots into the mountain depths, where for centuries now, it has waited.”

Hello!

Hi, everyone! I'm Lady of Lindon, and I'm a Tolkien enthusiast. I also happen to enjoy writing, and I'll be uploading my stories here.

I also welcome anyone to request drabbles, headcanons or oneshots from me, so long as they're from Tolkien. I'll update this post on what I can write about within Tolkien, so request away!

What I will write:

Tolkien elves + Ainur (Valar and Maiar, I won't write for Morgoth though)

OC/reader inserts (for the OC inserts, please provide me information about the OC and whatever would be relevant to the story request)

one single thread of gold tied me to you: series (ficmas 2024)

whatever ties james to you feels ancient, like folklore—woven into the fabric of who he is. like the golden threads in that scarf, it pulls him toward you: effortless, timeless.

pairing: james potter x reader

series summary: james potter spent years chasing after lily evans, convinced she was the one for him but in fifth year that all changed when he met you. for two years, it was easy, perfect, even. then the summer before seventh year you ended things with him, insisting he belonged with lily instead. he didn't understand (or agree) with your decision then and he's not sure he does now. perhaps being lovelorn and bereft without you compelled him to follow your suggestion and he began dating lily. everything should've fallen into place like you said, it should feel right but it doesn't.

as snow falls over hogwarts and the holidays draw everyone closer, james can't shake the feeling that something is pulling him back to you and he's not sure he wants it to stop.

main tags: female pronouns, alternate universe, marauders era, pov switch between characters, gryffindor reader, friendly reader, casual invisible string connection, exes reader and james, established jily, sirius and reader friendship, lily deserves better, no bashing whatsoever, emotional infidelity, insecurities, angst, fluff, mutual yearning/longing, falling into old habits, obliviousness, miscommunication, off-screen mutual breakup (jily), getting back together (reader and james), time skip, implied marriage, domesticity, happy ending

notes: happy holidays!! here is my self-indulgent 2024 12 days of ficmas series 🧣 inspired by taylor's song invisible string. this series is a collection of vignettes set during the winter of their final (seventh) year. every part is centered on a winter-ish word prompt and connected to each other in the same universe. please read the tags. i tried to keep the reader a clean slate as much as i could but there are implications that they're a gryffindor, friendly, well-liked, and that they knit. if you don't like that, don't read it.

Drew Glorfindel on a whim, but pleased with how it turned out. It's set in the Third Age, and Glorfindel is at peace with the world, after the Fall of Gondolin and the wars of the Second Age. He's looking at the petals of a tree falling in the breeze.

their heads moved in sync, same direction at the exact same time!!!

Elves.

Are.

Cats.
