Historical Event in the SotWK AU:
The (Non)Involvement of Thranduil in the Sack of Erebor
Could Thranduil have helped kill Smaug and save Erebor?
Disclaimer: The content in this post is mostly headcanon created for the SotWK AU, founded on canon details from the books and movies.
Context: Timeline of Thranduil's History in the Third Age
c. TA 1000-2000 - Thranduil, his family, and their people spend one thousand years fighting and enduring against the rise of Dol Guldur and the darkness and evil creatures that have infested and overrun the southern regions of Greenwood the Great.
Alas, by TA 2000:
Nearly all the woodlands south of the Old Forest Road had been abandoned.
The Woodland Realm's population had been reduced to nearly half of the great number it reached during the Golden Age of Thranduil's rule.
Many Silvans were killed by the onslaught of spiders, orcs, and other dark creatures or poisoned by the sick forest itself (air, water, food). A few even faded from grief and despair, which never before happened to the resilient Silvans.
The Silvans' famously high birthing rate dropped to nearly zero, leading to a "lost generation" and fears of gradual extinction.
TA 2063 - Crown Prince Mirion dies in direct combat against the Necromancer, resulting in Thranduil's vengeful razing of the fortress (SotWK HC), and the Council of the Wise's investigation (through Gandalf), all of which forces Sauron to abandon Dol Guldur. This begins the period known as the Watchful Peace.
During the 400 years of the Watchful Peace, the Silvans regain hope and courage, and with that, their ability and desire to have children again.
TA 2210 - Thorin I abandons Erebor to join his kin in the Grey Mountains in TA 2210. The Lonely Mountain is abandoned for three-hundred and eighty years.
TA 2460 - The Watchful Peace ends. Sauron returns with increased strength to Dol Guldur.
TA 2509 - Princess Itarildë’s mother, Nimeithel (oc), dies trying to defend her cousin Celebrían from the Orcs. Lady Celebrían sails to the Undying Lands the following year, and Queen Maereth is devastated by the loss of her two dearest friends.
TA 2589 - When their halls in the Grey Mountains come under attack by Cold-drakes, Prince Arvellas dies attempting to aid the Dwarves (defying his father's orders for the only time in his life). Dáin I and younger brother Frór are both slain, and Thrór inherits the kingship.
TA 2590 - King Thrór returns to Erebor with the Arkenstone to re-establish the Kingdom under the Mountain. Thrór's younger brother Grór leads others to the Iron Hills.
TA 2601 - Prince Turhir leaves Mirkwood, unable to cope with the trauma and guilt over his brothers' deaths. (Further details withheld to avoid fic spoilers.) His departure strains Thranduil and Maereth's marriage in a way it has never suffered before.
TA 2746 - Thorin (Oakenshield) is born in Erebor. Maereth sends gifts to honor the birth of the new prince, in an attempt to heal the friendship with the House of Durin that was broken after Arvellas's death. The gifts are accepted, but the rekindled friendship remains tenuous, especially since Thranduil has lost his desire to remain allies with the Dwarves he holds responsible for Arvellas's death.
TA 2760 - The continuing strain on their marriage forces Maereth and Thranduil to agree they need time apart. Maereth leaves Mirkwood to reside in Imladris for several years. (This is the only separation they have in the 2,900 years of their marriage.)
TA 2765 - Thranduil (trying to prove to his willingness for peace with the Dwarves again, as Maereth wants of him) commissions the jewel-smiths of Erebor to make a necklace from the White Gems of Lasgalen. However, when he comes to claim the finished necklace, he is turned away by Thrór, who (under the influence of dragon-sickness) claims that the gems were ill-begotten treasure from Khazad-dûm, and belonged to the Durins by birthright. Thranduil holds in his anger at the insult and does not press the matter, not wishing to completely sever the alliance that means so much to his wife.
TA 2770 - Smaug lays waste to the town of Dale and captures Erebor with all of its treasure.
tldr: Thranduil was not at his best when Smaug came to attack Erebor. He had many problems of his own, and he had very legitimate grievances against Thrór and his kin.
Unfortunately, Thrór was never forthcoming with his grandson, Thorin, about the deep history between the Durins and Thranduil's family, so as far as Thorin and his people believed, the Elvenking and his family just "lacked all honor". Nothing could have been further from the truth.
How did Thranduil react upon hearing of the attack?
The Elvenqueen was still in Imladris during the attack, and was therefore not present to give Thranduil council. Because of their separation, Maereth's mind was closed off to Thranduil's, and so she could not be reached through ósanwe. The younger princes, Gelir and Legolas, lacked the ability to telepathically communicate across that great a distance.
It was Gelir and Legolas who pushed their father to ride out with their army to help the Dwarves. Even though the bitterness of Arvellas's death still remained, Thranduil heeded his sons.
They had a solid plan to kill Smaug.
Thranduil had fought against fire-breathing dragons during the War of Wrath, and he knew what it would take to kill one: nothing short of a hero's self-sacrifice.
There was one weapon in Mirkwood that was surely powerful enough to pierce dragon hide and flesh: the great broadsword (or claymore) of the late Crown Prince Mirion.
Mirion's sword was forged by the prince himself (he was the best bladesmith in the realm), and was made from a special steel sourced from Khazad-dûm centuries before its fall. (Thranduil's sword was made from this same steel, which was also crafted by Mirion and given to his father as a gift.)
The sword was so large and heavy, only three people were known to be able to wield it: Mirion, Thranduil, and Turhir. Only Mirion had the strength and sufficient practice to wield it single-handed when needed.
Therefore, any attack using the sword would have to be carried out by the Elvenking himself.
For reference, Mirion's broadsword is about as massive as "Ice", Ned Stark's Valyrian sword from Game of Thrones.
In order to defeat Smaug, Thranduil's strategy would have been to attack the dragon himself with the sword. Gelir, Legolas, and the rest of his army would provide enough diversion to allow the Elvenking to get close without being burned by dragonfire.
What actually happened during the attack?
Thranduil was gripped by indecision and did not act as soon as he received the news of Smaug's descent. He already knew that any action they take against the dragon would mean loss of life for his people, and that made him hesitate, which caused some delay.
But he DID gather his army, his last two sons (who refused to be left behind), and marched out with the intention of engaging.
However, once Thranduil saw with his own eyes he fiery wrath of Smaug and the destruction he was capable of, and sensed the dragon's greed and evilness, the reality of the situation and the weight of old memories crashed down on him full force.
He remembered how he almost died from dragonfire, how painful those burns were, and how long it took him to recover from the physical and emotional scars. (And he only survived due to Valinor-level healing!) Did he want his soldiers to suffer the same, even if they survived?
He remembered that he had already lost one son (Arvellas) to dragons, who gave his life to help these same Dwarves, and received little gratitude for it in return. Was he ready to risk his last two sons?
And lastly, Thranduil realized, with almost full certainly, that killing Smaug would cost him his life. Was he ready to leave his wife a widow, his sons fatherless, and grandson saddled with the burden of kingship in such dark times?
The answer to all those questions was NO. So he made the difficult decision to turn back.
Thranduil's real mistake (that you can fault him for. Maybe.)
An argument could be made that even if Thranduil didn't want to directly engage with Smaug, he could still have sent his army to shield the Dwarves of Erebor and the people of Dale and help them get to safety. Less civilian lives could have been lost.
They didn't have to completely turn around and go home. They could have still tried to to something--as his sons (especially Gelir) would argue later on.
However, at that point, Thranduil choked on his reluctance to risk anything any further, after everything his family and kingdom had already been through. His sons were especially chomping at the bit to slay the dragon, and things could have easily gotten out of hand if they stepped into the same field as Smaug.
By retreating completely, Thranduil eliminated all risk.
And yes, the bitterness of Thrór's treatment (those damn jewels), and the way Arvellas's death was handled (the Durins never properly honored the prince's sacrifice) still lingered. It certainly factored in the decision to (selfishly?) leave the Dwarves to their fate.
Thranduil HAD warned Thrór "of what his greed would summon", especially after the fatal attack of the cold-drakes on the Grey Mountains. And Thrór certainly did not listen.
What was fair, then? How much responsibility still fell on Thranduil to help the Durins, given all these facts?
Aid was delivered in the aftermath; but the Dwarves considered it "too little, too late".
When Smaug had finally locked himself up in Erebor with his precious treasure, Thranduil did send out aid to the refugees of both Erebor and Dale. When Elvenqueen Maereth finally returned from Imladris, she spearheaded this effort.
Mind you, it's not like Mirkwood was swimming in excess resources at this time. But they still gave whatever they could to the thousands displaced, including medical aid, food and clothing, and even temporary shelter.
The men of Dale accepted the aid and help in finding new dwellings, including resettling in Esgaroth.
The Dwarves accepted the Elves' aid, but only to some extent.
Thrór wanted Thranduil to prove his allegiance by helping them to force Smaug out of the mountain, which of course Thranduil flatly refused to do.
The proud and angry Durins therefore declared him and his people faithless, and chose to move south to Dunland, instead of accepting Maereth's offer to help them rebuild near Mirkwood.
The Elvenqueen's final attempt to reconcile her family and people with the House of Durin would be during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs (TA 2793). However, her tragic death only worsened the divide between Thranduil and the House of Durin; we see this in Thorin's anger during his capture in the events of The Hobbit.
It all ends happily.
Healing and reconciliation would finally be achieved a century and a half later, during the Battle of Five Armies (TA 2941), where the Elves of Mirkwood play a role in saving the lives of King Thorin and his nephews. Once Erebor is reclaimed by the Durins, the two kingdoms become fierce allies and remain so for the rest of their histories.
(Yes, the SotWK AU is proud to be a Durins Live AU. <3 )

2509
Những ngày tháng này, tôi đang tập đối diện với những điều mình đã né tránh suốt những năm qua.
Tôi đọc lại những gì mình đã viết. Dù thỉnh thoảng vẫn đọc, nhưng lần này, tôi vừa đọc vừa tìm những thứ tôi giấu sâu trong những dòng chữ năm ấy. Rằng tôi, đến những nơi chốn của riêng mình, vẫn ko dám đối diện với chính mình.
Tôi hèn nhát. Và sợ hãi.
Tôi sợ phải thừa nhận rằng đến cả người tôi yêu thương, tôi cũng ko dám sống vì họ. Tôi luôn để cho mình một đường lùi. Để nhỡ nhàng, tôi lại trốn đi khỏi sự thất bại của mình.
Tôi thương người ta. Người ta cũng thương tôi. Nhưng tất cả chỉ dừng lại ở đó. Chúng tôi đi qua nhau để lại những nỗi buồn rồi cũng xa tít tắp, ko còn ai có thể chạm vào nữa.
Tôi có quá nhiều sự ân hận, mà ko làm cách nào gột bỏ. Đến giờ, khi thật sự thừa nhận, tôi bỗng ghét bản thân mình vô cùng.
Em bé ấy, còn nói được rằng “nếu như ân hận, thì đừng làm gì khiến mình ân hận nữa”…
Bởi thế những ấm ức những ngày vừa qua, chắc hẳn cũng vì sự vị kỷ mà khiến tôi đã nghĩ rằng mình sẽ từ bỏ.
Tôi không muốn mình phải hối hận, hay hối tiếc bởi sự hèn nhát của mình nữa.
Tôi từng nghĩ rằng, tôi ko muốn mình phải hối tiếc, nhưng chính là vì ko chịu nổi sự từ chối, ko chịu nổi việc mình ko có được điều mình muốn, nên ăn vạ để mà đòi.
Còn giờ,…
Hôm nay, tôi nhìn thấy hình dung ấy, lòng tôi chùng xuống. Tôi không muốn đánh mất những điều quý giá đối với mình. Nên dù phải lặng im và giữ gìn mối quan hệ này như những gì nó vốn là, tôi sẽ làm. Miễn sao hình dung ấy, tôi sẽ còn được ngắm nhìn. Và ở cạnh bên, theo bất cứ cách nào.
Tôi có thể sẽ chờ đợi, và hy vọng. Hoặc không cần hy vọng. Miễn sao cô ấy còn ở cạnh tôi, theo bất cứ định nghĩa nào. Ko né tránh, ko đẩy ra xa, cũng ko vồ vập hay níu giữ. Chỉ cần còn nhìn thấy cô, trong những khoảnh khắc cuộc đời này cho phép.
Và, những nỗi ân hận xưa cũ, cũng vậy. Tôi mang chúng đặt lên bàn, học những bài học chúng mang lại, nâng niu và trân trọng chúng.
Bởi lãng quên, là điều không thể. Tôi chỉ còn cách vượt qua mà thôi.

A Light From the Shadows Chapter 2- Wow! An Uncle?! Great! Oh No, Wait, he Sucks
A.N: Ahh, chapter 2!!!! I'm delighted to go deeper into Aeri's story, and I hope you guys are too. Thank you for your lovely responses to chapter 1!
Warnings: Descriptions of blood, torture
A Light From the Shadows Masterlist
Read on AO3, WATTPAD
*********
Aeri was five, feeling the tickles of the grass brushing her feet as she sped across the meadow, running as fast as she could. Footsteps pounded behind her as Eddard chased her. She ran as fast as she could, short legs pumping as she leaped over a log and ducked around a tree, rounding the trunk to find Eddard smiling at her. He grabbed her and hugged her.
Calenglîn watched from the porch, smiling, as her husband grabbed their daughter, tossing her up in the air, the sounds of his hearty laugh and her giggles drifting on the wind. Eddard threw Aeri over his shoulder as she watched, marching them back towards her.
Eddard turned when they’d reached the porch, showing his wife the grinning face of the child slung over his shoulder.
“Look what I caught!” he told his wife.
She laughed, springing off the porch and grabbing Aeri from his shoulder. Calenglîn set her daughter down, gesturing for her to run.
“Go, Aeri!”
Aeri sprinted away again, and Eddard moved to chase her, but was tackled by his wife. They tumbled into the grass together, Calenglîn giggling as she fell on top of him. Eddard gazed into her eyes, reaching up to brush a strand of hair from her face, and kissed her.
“Ew,” Aeri, jealous that no one was paying attention to her anymore, had doubled back to see her parents kissing in the grass.
Eddard chuckled at his daughter, Calenglîn laughing with him as she rolled off and sprawled next to him. She shifted slightly further apart, and gestured to Aeri.
“Come here.”
Aeri did, snuggling in between her parents as they lay in the meadow, watching the clouds roll through the sky above.
Eddard sprawled into the long green grass, Aeri next to him, both of them laughing.
Aeri jolted awake, eyes opening to complete darkness. She blinked, trying to see anything in pitch-black but couldn’t. She shifted, something like stone digging into her back, and something brushed against her wrist.
Aeri tugged at it and realized it was a rope, binding her down. Wiggling her legs, she noted that her entire body was bound down to the stone. She was trapped.
A crushing feeling of hopelessness set in as the memories flooded back. She remembered her parents’ frantic voices as they prepared to leave the cabin, the panic and despair in their eyes as they shut the door for the last time. She remembered their urging for her to abandon them, her frantic flight through the forest, their screams ringing out in the air, the fact that they were-
Dead.
Killed by her uncle.
Aeri tugged harder at the ropes binding her, trying to get free, struggling, pulling wherever she could.
A scraping sound suddenly rang out, and footsteps padded into what she could only assume was her cell.
“Hello, Aerinithil,” a voice rang out into the darkness, “I’m your Uncle Rhugar.”
“I know who you are, you traitor,” Aeri spat.
“Ah yes,” said Rhugar. “But do you know who you are?”
Aeri shifted, trying to face in the direction he was, the sound of his footsteps circling around her reminding her of the hawks she watched as a child, circling before diving down for the kill.
The sound of a blade being drawn rang through the room, and Aeri tensed.
And then suddenly, a little light was let into the chamber and she could see Rhugar hovering above her, knife in his hand gleaming despite the darkness. Rhugar drew closer, knife in his hand still gleaming despite the shadows in the room.
He drew closer, and closer, until he was right above her, knife pointed towards her. Aeri took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever came next.
Rhugar brought the knife down.
Aeri screamed.
She screamed as the burning knife carved a path of horror into her skin, traced its terrible trail all over her breaking body. She couldn’t bear it, the pain was boring its way into every inch of her, hammering on her insides, crushing her down further and further- until everything faded into black as her mind tried to escape from it all.
Aeri was seven, in her father’s arms, meeting her mother’s family for the first time. The tall, regal elves overshadowed even Eddard, and it was the first time Aeri thought her father was small.
She was passed from elf to elf, saying hello and trying not to get too overwhelmed by it all. She somehow made her way back to father, who put her down.
“Go find your mother, Aeri,” Eddard told her, so Aeri tried.
She wove through the elves, trying not to trip on anything or anyone until she bumped into a tall elf with eyes just like hers.
He looked down at her with a smirk. “Hello, Aerinithil.”
“How do you know my name?”
He knelt, suddenly looking her in the eyes, “I’m your Uncle Rhugar.”
Aeri had told him that he looked like her mother, at which he smiled, and then moved on. She wanted to see her father again, the only other person who felt as out of place as she did, so she set off, weaving through legs and ducking behind skirts.
She reached the railing of the terrace they were, on, and turned. And then she stopped.
An extremely tall elf was facing her, blonde hair in waves that reached down her back, a circlet crowning her head. Ancient blue eyes stared into Aeri’s, as they stood there.
“Wait for the sword that was broken,” Galadriel spoke into Aeri’s head.
Aeri blinked at her in confusion. “What sword?”
“You’ll know.” And with that the blonde elf with eyes older than Arda swept back into the crowd, elves parting around her like the sea as she walked.
Wait for the sword that was broken.
The next thing Aeri knew, she was bleeding on the same stone table that she’d been so brutally cut open on the night before. Blinking her eyes open, she again couldn’t see a thing, wrapped in that overwhelming darkness.
The scrape of metal against stone rang out once more, and Aeri lifted her head. Rhugar was silhuotted in the murky light at the doorway, a shadow perfectly tracing the scar on his face. He padded into the cell, eerily not making a sound as he walked. Behind him followed an orc, with something cradled in his arms.
“There’s someone I’d like you to meet,” Rhugar said.
He walked over and kicked Aeri, knocking the breath out of her chest before strolling back, nonchalantly like he hadn’t just hurt his niece again, and took the thing from the arms of the orc.
Aeri sucked in a breath of shock at the sight. Rhugar held an elf in his arms. Her face was bruised and bleeding, blood covering her fine clothes, and she was clearly unconscious.
“Say hello to your new neighbor.” Rhugar held the unconscious elf up, then threw her into the cell next to Aeri’s, her body crumpling onto the floor.
With that, Rhugar walked back over to Aeri, kneeling beside her. His red hair fell over his forehead, casting his face into darker shadow, his gleaming blue eyes contrasting with the bright hair as the only two spots of color in the room.
“And niece?”
Aeri stared up at him, paralyzed with terror of the man she remembered so fondly from her childhood.
“You are a blight upon the world and blemish upon the elves. You do not matter, to anyone.”
Rhugar leaned down to her ear, and she could feel the brush of his hair against her head.
“You are worthless.”
Rhugar drew back his fist, and Aeri tensed, cringing away from the blow she now knew to expect. He brought it down, striking her cheek, knocking her head back into the cold stone floor. Her face throbbed, head pounding, but she clenched her fists and willed herself not to cry.
He rose, wiped the blood from his knuckles onto his tunic, and left, the cell door screeching shut behind him.
Aeri lay there, broken on the floor, encased in total darkness, barely there anymore. She felt a shadow, a wisp of darkness brush her face, whispering as it covered her. The other shadows did the same, murmuring over her broken body as they patterned her skin.
The shadows whispered to her, tried to break her, but they couldn’t.
Aeri started to learn their language. And as they whispered, murmuring darkness, she began to whisper back.
*******
A.N: OHHHHH BOY! Stuff is HAPPENING!! Anyone have any guesses on who the mystery prisoner is? Or what’s going on with Aeri at the very end? I’d really love to hear all your thoughts!!

Storm
Summary: For the lovely @ladylouoflothlorien who requested this, I hope you enjoy! A/N and timeline for this story is below the story. Reader is an elf child from Celebrian’s escort travelling from Imladris to Lothlorien in TA 2509. For context, Osgiliath was lost in TA 2475. Quote in italics from Unfinished Tales, JRR Tolkien.
Hi hon, could I please request something with Saruman & Reader where the reader was rescued by him as a child and has been raised by him. Something a little angsty where they’re watching his descent into madness and serving the dark lord. Maybe he tries to hide what’s going on from them but they were raised smart and it’s not exactly difficult to figure out. I think this definitely calls for some(?) angst but as for where the loyalties and morality of the reader lie by the end of it is completely up to you. I just saw you were interested in writing for Saruman and this popped into my head, which is strange because I haven’t written anything like this before!!
Words: 1380
From his window in Orthanc, Saruman watched with calculated interest as a lone figure rode hard, out of the safety of Isengard, shrinking and disappearing altogether as they turned behind the feet of the mountains. It was for the north that they rode, onwards toward Imladris and Doriath, seeking Radaghast with his message, and in time they would return, bearing news to him from distant lands. Something about the child had changed irrevocably and though they tried to conceal from him its nature, he could sense their mind had altered from the course that he had set it on. Even the firm persuasion of his voice could not fully ease their troubles.
Making fully sure they were out of view, he sat smoking in thoughtful silence within the privacy of his chambers. Never before had he reason to doubt their will or their capability ere the shadow of Sauron had taken up his mantle in Barad Dur. Yet now, his faith in them wavered for he saw within them a growing doubt, no more than a flicker, but what he was sure would in time grow to a fire that would consume them both. This he feared beyond all else and though he knew it was wise to dispose of them, his heart refused and reminded him of a simpler time, if ever there was one.
Beyond the whistling despair that painted the skirmish he had found them by the gaping mouth of the Redhorn Pass as he journeyed south to the new capital of Minas Tirith to proffer advice. His absence had cost the Gondorians dearly and thirty years on, the sacking of Osgiliath still marred the hearts of many like a suffocating tar. They needed guidance and he would be the one to give it.
But there, at the Redhorn Pass he sensed the biting sharpness of a greater grief and fear. Overhead, the looming shadow of Caradhras cast itself, breathing its chill on the very ground at its roots like the beckoning onset of winter.
The hewn earth. The song of the mountains echoing down the channels. The iron tang of blood on the wind. A memory came to him then on the same winds, a time long ago, far away and hazy as though he stood on the other side of a frosted window, intruding on something that was both intimate and distant. The shaping of iron, the forging of rings and a young man with dark hair and his master by his side. His name was Curunír then.
The vision awoke with him a great unquenchable desire for a past he could not quite remember and yet he yearned for every ounce of it, but as he did, it faded and however hard Saruman pursued it, he could grasp at nothing but a frosty wind. Before his feet lay the scattered bodies of elves, the battered standard of Imladris laying torn … and something else. The bated breath of a child. He was watched.
Saruman turned then beyond the violence and bloodshed, and toward a copse of shivering young oak trees. An elf child. Young but not quite naïve. Impressionable still. His eyes lit.
He remembered with sour hatred the founding of the White Council and Gandalf. His endearment with the hobbit people of the north and though he had mocked him then, he understood now what bound him so tightly to that merry folk. And while his heart went out to the child, he was struck with the bitter undercurrent of jealousy for Gandalf’s hobbit folk. He would take them under his wing to forge as his creation. Not as a child of the woodlands but one that would love fire and iron.
“Well, will you not come forth and tell me your name?” His voice was a gentle suggestion, light, guised as an offer but beneath it was a power so compelling that they could not refuse it. And so it was that the child strode forward to meet Saruman without fear or suspicion and gave him their name. And it is told that they were ensnared and spellbound to him, for a person’s name is ever sweet to the ears of the one it belongs to. In Saruman’s face, the child saw the visage of their lifeless father, only older and wiser for that was the veil he assumed to their eyes. Everywhere Saruman went, the child followed, growing tall and lithe like the long shadows of dusk in the even longer march of time. Their sharp eyes were ever watching and learning, for along his many wandering travels, Saruman taught them the secret way of words and to delve beyond them to discern secret thoughts.
By the time Saruman received the Keys of Orthanc, he was just as endeared to his charge as they were to him and it was as though they were molded from his own flesh and blood. To his charge, he spoke openly of preserving the Free Peoples and while they knew of his research of magic rings, he hid from them his truest desire to be recognised and undisputedly powerful. To rule. Yet this they discerned also, for they walked together through many centuries and as the time passed them by, they saw that he strayed from the road he had set himself upon, walking in the murky in-between of good and evil.
It was at the second meeting of the White Council that it was revealed to them, clear as day. There would be no attack upon Dol Guldur despite Gandalf’s protestations. It was unlike him to be careless, to claim the Ring had fallen to the sea, to deny the possibility of Sauron’s return. Saruman was always thorough, and they knew this to be true. Gandalf sat then, silent, smoking and Saruman mocked him as he always had done.
A beat.
It was in the space of a thought that Gandalf passed his gaze over to the elf by Saruman’s side, searching for some unknown thing within their gaze.
Looking keenly at Saruman he drew his pipe and sent out a great ring of smoke with many smaller rings that followed it. Then he put up his hand, as if to grasp them, and they vanished. (Unfinished Tales, Tolkien)
And the moment passed as quickly as though it never happened. The child who was now no longer a child, watched on as the hazy fumes meandered lazily out of his hands and they knew then that they were not mistaken.
Altered and seduced as Saruman’s mind was, his charge remained steadfast by his side, for the love between them was too great, though they grew ever more uneasy at the methods he resorted to. A ring he had crafted and many coloured robes he wrought, but he did not don them. They noticed the long nights Saruman spent secluded within the high chamber of Orthanc, casting his mind this way and that and communing at times with some veiled power that they shuddered to think of. A host of orcs and men arrived at the gates of Isengard and were welcomed. “As I have given you a home, they too shall have theirs” he had said, and he cast such a pitiful look at them that his charge relented. Great pits were delved and filled with fire and it was with despair that the young elf found themselves at the shores of darkness, upon the cusp of a war that should never have been.
And yet now they rode hard to find Radaghast and set his beasts to Saruman’s task. Before them lay the chance to turn away, to divert the course of the coming war. A chance to warn of bloodshed. A chance to stop children being orphaned before their time. In a sleepless dream, they walked in the halls of memory, to a bloody day at the Redhorn Pass, Celebrian’s abduction, the loss of family and the beginning of a new one. A day when a weary traveller came by and took them in as his own child.
An impossible choice. One that would result in war either way.
They laughed at the folly of it, a peal of bright bells on the air for in the moment for there was nothing they could do but bask in the freedom of clear air with the countless miles between themselves and Isengard. A fair wind danced beside them, masking the foul tang of iron deep beneath the impenetrable tower of Orthanc. Overhead, the stars wheeled as night came and went like the swift kiss of ignorance upon their brow and for a moment in the wan gaze of the moon, everything in the world was as it should be. The knowing silence of the coming storm.
A/N: This was a challenging request (and my first for that matter) and I had much trouble trying to fit in a plausible scenario that matched the original timeline. A goodly amount of research and two weeks worth of fretting over the timeline went into this, but it still feels off :/ and I can’t say that I’m happy with the finished product.
Because the request asked for the Saruman’s descent to evil, the child/reader would need to have a lifespan that would need to stretch for a minimum of 500 years or so. Elves are the only race (bar Tom Bombadil and other strange beings) that has a lifespan matching this and so it is the race that the reader in this story belongs to. Personally, I am of the opinion that elves would take in other orphaned elves and so the scenario from which the child is rescued from must be far enough from the major elf cities to warrant them being raised by Saruman. Hence, I placed them as a part of Celebrian’s escort bound for Lothlorien from Rivendell in the year TA 2509. This small party was ambushed by orcs at the Redhorn Pass (I chose to set the scene at the junction between the Redhorn Pass and the Redhorn Gate because the Pass is described as ‘narrow’ along the cliffs and hence there would not be much room for the reader to hide! The general timeline I used is below:
TA 1000 – Saruman arrives in ME and goes into the east on regular trips
TA 1601 – The Shire settled
TA 2400ish – Saruman returns to the west, discovers Gandalf’s possession of Narya
TA 2463 – White Council formed, Saruman becomes jealous of Gandalf because he is mooted to be head of the council instead of Saruman
TA 2475 – Osgiliath taken
TA 2509 – Celebrian captured
2759 – Saruman gets the keys to Orthanc and settles in Isengard
2851 – 2nd White Council meeting, Gandalf urges attack on dol Guldur, smoke ring incident

Un timp îndelung am încercat să cântăresc emoții sincere în palmele tale, însă brațele tale analfabete m-au hrănit cu venin, devenind într-un târziu, cămin pentru un străin. Am îngropat fiecare sentiment pe rând, în gânduri amorțite într-un trecut stins, încercând să te pierd, să mi te desprind de prezent. Nu îmi doresc să mai fiu, nici invitat în gândul tău, nici suvenir al dragostei noastre. Ai ajuns doar o călătoare prin sufletul meu, fără bilet, refuzi să te oprești, cu nerușinare. Nu te mai caut, refuz să îmi fie dor și te rog, nu îmi strecura psihoze dulci prin gaura cheii, căci toate lumânările iubirii noastre au fost stinse în fugă de buzele tale mușcate de regret. Totul tău este cuprins de un întuneric prăfuit. Parfumul tău miroase puternic a rutină și cearcănele sufletului tău sunt atât de profund conturate de zâmbetul sec, încât uneori îmi e greu să te păstrez în cușca disprețului, spre care ai alergat besmetică. Umbra ta încă dansează lângă mine, încrețindu-și conturul spre un întuneric necunoscut. Îți trădezi propria ființă, te simt cum regreți fiecare zâmbet și mă renegi ca pe un nenorocit. Nu sunt aici să te cert, nici să te iert, doar vibrația sufletului tău îmi lipsește teribil..
APEL PIERDUT..

Celebrían's birth date is unspecified, though she may have been born near Lake Evendim between SA 350 and SA 400. She lived with her mother Galadriel in Eregion, and later fled to Lórinand sometime between SA 1350 and SA 1400. After a time, Galadriel and Celebrían passed through Moria and dwelt in Rivendell. There, she met Elrond, who, though he loved her, said nothing about it.
💫 🌟 💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫
In TA 109, Elrond wedded Celebrían. She bore him twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir in TA 130, and then a daughter, Arwen in TA 241.
🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟
In TA 2509, Celebrían was on her way to visit her parents in Lothlórien when she was waylaid by Orcs in the Redhorn Pass of the Misty Mountains. She was then tormented by the orcs and received a poisoned wound. Her sons arrived much later to rescue her, and Elrond healed her wounds, but Celebrían was never fully-healed in mind and spirit. Horrified and haunted by the memories of her torture, she no longer desired to remain in Middle-earth, and sailed west the next year.Elladan and Elrohir never forgot or forgave their mother's torment, and frequently rode with Aragorn and the Rangers of the North, striking back at the orcs and other servants of Sauron whenever possible.

and we’re back for round three! like it says on the tin, here’s a masterlist of all fics I wrote from the beginning of July to the end of September. links to both ao3 and tumblr are provided when available!
this period is definitely the slowest I’ve had all year, both fic number wise and word count wise. however, some great things happened, those being: I hit one million words on ao3, I finished both my Teen Wolf Bingo & Rare Character Bingo cards, and I ventured back into the world of original fic! so yay!

total number of fics: 33
total number of fandoms: 7
total word count: 41,119

and in that moment (she was all mine). Camille/Maia. 1190 words. Rated T. ao3.
Maia may be beautiful, astoundingly so, but she’ll be nothing more than a blip, a single sentence in the pages of Camille’s life, a passing fancy.
cages & coals. Dot/Jocelyn. 250 words. Rated G. ao3.
Dot had known that Clary's eighteenth birthday was going to bring difficulties with it.

hard to breathe (bring me to my knees). Camille/Clary. 1701 words. Rated T. ao3.

the night before. Jace/Simon. 1582 words. Rated T. ao3.

Predictability. Kali/Violet. 250 words. Rated T. ao3.
Baiting a werewolf is certainly dangerous, but Kali's sheer predictability, no matter how many times Violet pulls similar stunts on her, makes it so much fun.
raise me to your lips. Isaac/Stiles. 2495 words. Rated E. ao3 & tumblr.

In TA 2509, the brothers (Elladan and Elrohir) rescued their mother from her imprisonment with the Orcs. Although she was physically healed by Elrond, after fear and torment from the Orcs she lost all joy from Middle Earth, and so she departed for the Grey Havens the next year. Due to this, the twins harbored great hatred for Orcs.
That... that was physically painful to read.... *hugs @thetwinsgoogle*

PHÁP ĐẦU ĐÀ – Gương Tốt Trong Pháp Đầu Đà
Gương Tốt Trong Pháp Đầu Đà
Một hôm Đức Thế Tôn kêu Đại đức Ca Diếp mà nói rằng: “Này Ca Diếp, bây giờ ngươi đã già rồi nên nghỉ hành pháp đầu đà “lượm vải dơ để may y” đi, vì mặc y paṃsukūla rất xấu xa nhơ bẩn, nặng nề và phải cực nhọc để tìm kiếm, nên vui thích y của thí chủ dâng cúng cho, đã được nhẹ nhàng và thuận tiện”.
Đại đức Ca Diếp bèn bạch với Đức Thế Tôn rằng: “Bạch Đức Thế Tôn, đệ tử nghĩ rằng: tuy 16 phận sự trong Phật Pháp đã thực hành xong rồi, không còn thấy có phận sự nào cần phải làm nữa, đệ tử nghĩ rằng tuy phận sự đã xong nhưng cũng cần phải thọ trì những phẩm hạnh cao thượng nhứt là pháp đầu đà để làm gương lành cho các đoàn em sau này không dám dể duôi và noi gương ấy mà hành theo cho được tốt đẹp trong Phật Pháp và có thể làm cho người chưa phát tâm trong sạch được trở nên trong sạch trong Phật Pháp, còn như người đã trong sạch rồi thì lại càng được trong sạch nhiều lên thêm, vì vậy mà đệ tử vẫn cố gắng thực hành cho đến suốt đời”.
Đức Phật bèn khen rằng: “Sadhu! Sadhu! Lành thay!” Rồi Ngài nói tiếp: “Này Ca Diếp, được nghe rằng người cố gắng thực hành tất cả 13 pháp đầu đà để làm gương lành cho đoàn hậu tấn sau này thì Như Lai đâu ngăn cản làm chi” (Đức Phật vẫn hiểu biết hết nhưng Ngài có ý hỏi để Đại đức Ca Diếp trả lời rồi luôn đó để Ngài xác định lại lời của Ca Diếp là chí lí).
Trong Phật Pháp có vị tỳ khưu chỉ hành 1, 2 pháp môn đầu đà hoặc 3, 4 đến 12 pháp môn mà thôi ít có vị nào hành cả 13 pháp môn như Đại đức Ca Diếp. Sự tích 1 vị tỳ khưu có tri túc trong pháp đầu đà:
Có 2 anh em cùng đi xuất gia trong Phật Pháp, người anh thì ưa lẫn lộn chung chạ với bè phái nên ở nơi chùa chiền để học Kinh, Luật, còn người em thì thích về pháp hành, mới đi ở nơi phương xa để hành đạo và thọ trì các pháp đầu đà nhứt là thọ trì pháp môn thọ thực trong 1 chỗ ngồi là thọ thực có 1 lần mà thôi.
Một hôm có dịp đi ngang qua chùa chỗ anh ngụ bèn vào để viếng thăm, trong lúc ấy thì ông đã thọ thực xong rồi. Khi vào đến nơi người anh rất mừng rỡ, sẵn có nhiều món vật thực ngon ngọt mà các thí chủ vừa dâng cho bèn kêu mời em cùng thọ thực.
Ông em trả lời rằng: “Sư huynh dùng đi, đệ đã thọ thực xong rồi”.
Ông anh bèn mời tiếp thêm: “Độ rồi dầu có thọ thêm lần nữa có sao đâu, hay là sư đệ đã thọ trì pháp đầu đà chỉ thọ thực trong 1 lần mà thôi?” Nghe hỏi ngay chỗ mình muốn giấu, ông em liền nghĩ rằng: “Nếu ta không thọ thực nữa thì sư huynh ta biết ta đã thọ đầu đà ăn trong 1 lần”. Vì sự tri túc không muốn cho ai biết mình là người thọ trì đầu đà, rồi ông bèn thọ thực với anh, cố ý không cho anh biết mình đã thọ trì đầu đà vậy, sau khi khỏi nơi này ta sẽ nguyện thọ trì lại.
Người thọ trì pháp đầu đà có pháp tri túc cao thượng như thế, đừng nói chi cho dầu bực xuất gia đồng đạo mà cũng không có ý khoe khoang, cho biết thay thì cần nói chi đến người chưa thọ cụ túc giới. Đây là tư cách tri túc trong pháp hành vậy.
Hơn nữa, một khi hành giả đã nguyện thực hành 1 pháp đầu đà nào và nhất định thời hạn thì dầu cho có 1 nguyên nhân nào phát lên làm cho tổn hại đến sanh mạng cũng ráng cố gìn giữ cho đến cùng, như vậy mới có thể đạt được pháp cao thượng nào mà mình đã ước nguyện. Như mẫu chuyện của thầy tỳ khưu Cakkhupāla.
Câu chuyện thuật lại rằng: Có 1 thầy tỳ khưu tên Cakkhupāla khi sắp nhập hạ mới hội các vị tỳ khưu khác mà bàn luận rằng: “Trong khi nhập hạ chúng ta nên nguyện mỗi vị 1 pháp đầu đà tùy sở thích, riêng phần tôi xin nguyện không nằm trong 3 tháng để chú tâm vào pháp giải thoát”.
Thế rồi thời gian trôi qua, thầy thực hành không nằm được hơn 2 tháng, một hôm vì quá tinh tấn không nằm mà phát sanh bệnh đau mắt rất nặng. Trong xứ ấy có một ông thầy thuốc trị bệnh đau mắt rất hay, ông chỉ nhỏ thuốc một lần thì mạnh nhưng bệnh nhân cần phải nằm thì phương dược mới hữu hiệu.
Có người đem thuốc dâng cho ngài, ngài vẫn ngồi mà nhỏ thuốc thành ra bệnh không thuyên giảm mà còn tăng thêm. Ông thầy thuốc lấy làm lạ mới đến thăm và khuyên ngài là nên nằm mà nhỏ thuốc thì mạnh liền tức khắc. Ngài hứa sẽ hỏi lại rồi sẽ hay (chỗ này quí vị lấy làm lạ không biết ngài định hỏi lại ai, nhưng kì thật ngài sẽ hỏi lại tâm ngài cho thật kỹ coi nên làm đứt pháp đầu đà mà mình đã nguyện hay không?)
Tối hôm ấy khi ngài ngồi thiền định bèn nói với tâm rằng: “Này tâm ơi trong vòng sanh tử luân hồi hằng hà sa số kiếp ngươi đã từng bị đui mắt nhưng không hề gặp được Giáo Pháp của Đức Phật để thực hành vì vậy ngươi phải chịu xoay đi chuyển lại và phải chịu đui mắt ở trong màn vô minh đã vô lượng kiếp, kiếp này đây ngươi đã hữu phúc gặp được Giáo Pháp của Đức Thế Tôn mà ngươi còn gìn giữ bảo bọc tấm thân giả tạm này và làm cho hư hoại pháp hành mà ngươi đã nguyện hay sao?” Nghĩ thế ngài cương quyết thực hành luôn không nằm mà nhỏ thuốc dù cho con mắt có đui đi nữa miễn là “con mắt Pháp” (dhammacakkhuṃ) phát sanh lên thì mới mong thoát cảnh đui tối trong màn vô minh được.
Thế rồi ngài bỏ không chịu nhỏ thuốc cứ tiếp tục ngồi hành đạo luôn cho đến khi con mắt ngài nóng quá chịu không nổi phải nổ ra thì đồng thời tâm ngài cũng vừa thấy Đạo Quả Niết-bàn và đắc thành 1 vị A-la-hán.

PHÁP ĐẦU ĐÀ – Gương Tốt Trong Pháp Đầu Đà
Gương Tốt Trong Pháp Đầu Đà
Một hôm Đức Thế Tôn kêu Đại đức Ca Diếp mà nói rằng: “Này Ca Diếp, bây giờ ngươi đã già rồi nên nghỉ hành pháp đầu đà “lượm vải dơ để may y” đi, vì mặc y paṃsukūla rất xấu xa nhơ bẩn, nặng nề và phải cực nhọc để tìm kiếm, nên vui thích y của thí chủ dâng cúng cho, đã được nhẹ nhàng và thuận tiện”.
Đại đức Ca Diếp bèn bạch với Đức Thế Tôn rằng: “Bạch Đức Thế Tôn, đệ tử nghĩ rằng: tuy 16 phận sự trong Phật Pháp đã thực hành xong rồi, không còn thấy có phận sự nào cần phải làm nữa, đệ tử nghĩ rằng tuy phận sự đã xong nhưng cũng cần phải thọ trì những phẩm hạnh cao thượng nhứt là pháp đầu đà để làm gương lành cho các đoàn em sau này không dám dể duôi và noi gương ấy mà hành theo cho được tốt đẹp trong Phật Pháp và có thể làm cho người chưa phát tâm trong sạch được trở nên trong sạch trong Phật Pháp, còn như người đã trong sạch rồi thì lại càng được trong sạch nhiều lên thêm, vì vậy mà đệ tử vẫn cố gắng thực hành cho đến suốt đời”.
Đức Phật bèn khen rằng: “Sadhu! Sadhu! Lành thay!” Rồi Ngài nói tiếp: “Này Ca Diếp, được nghe rằng người cố gắng thực hành tất cả 13 pháp đầu đà để làm gương lành cho đoàn hậu tấn sau này thì Như Lai đâu ngăn cản làm chi” (Đức Phật vẫn hiểu biết hết nhưng Ngài có ý hỏi để Đại đức Ca Diếp trả lời rồi luôn đó để Ngài xác định lại lời của Ca Diếp là chí lí).
Trong Phật Pháp có vị tỳ khưu chỉ hành 1, 2 pháp môn đầu đà hoặc 3, 4 đến 12 pháp môn mà thôi ít có vị nào hành cả 13 pháp môn như Đại đức Ca Diếp. Sự tích 1 vị tỳ khưu có tri túc trong pháp đầu đà:
Có 2 anh em cùng đi xuất gia trong Phật Pháp, người anh thì ưa lẫn lộn chung chạ với bè phái nên ở nơi chùa chiền để học Kinh, Luật, còn người em thì thích về pháp hành, mới đi ở nơi phương xa để hành đạo và thọ trì các pháp đầu đà nhứt là thọ trì pháp môn thọ thực trong 1 chỗ ngồi là thọ thực có 1 lần mà thôi.
Một hôm có dịp đi ngang qua chùa chỗ anh ngụ bèn vào để viếng thăm, trong lúc ấy thì ông đã thọ thực xong rồi. Khi vào đến nơi người anh rất mừng rỡ, sẵn có nhiều món vật thực ngon ngọt mà các thí chủ vừa dâng cho bèn kêu mời em cùng thọ thực.
Ông em trả lời rằng: “Sư huynh dùng đi, đệ đã thọ thực xong rồi”.
Ông anh bèn mời tiếp thêm: “Độ rồi dầu có thọ thêm lần nữa có sao đâu, hay là sư đệ đã thọ trì pháp đầu đà chỉ thọ thực trong 1 lần mà thôi?” Nghe hỏi ngay chỗ mình muốn giấu, ông em liền nghĩ rằng: “Nếu ta không thọ thực nữa thì sư huynh ta biết ta đã thọ đầu đà ăn trong 1 lần”. Vì sự tri túc không muốn cho ai biết mình là người thọ trì đầu đà, rồi ông bèn thọ thực với anh, cố ý không cho anh biết mình đã thọ trì đầu đà vậy, sau khi khỏi nơi này ta sẽ nguyện thọ trì lại.
Người thọ trì pháp đầu đà có pháp tri túc cao thượng như thế, đừng nói chi cho dầu bực xuất gia đồng đạo mà cũng không có ý khoe khoang, cho biết thay thì cần nói chi đến người chưa thọ cụ túc giới. Đây là tư cách tri túc trong pháp hành vậy.
Hơn nữa, một khi hành giả đã nguyện thực hành 1 pháp đầu đà nào và nhất định thời hạn thì dầu cho có 1 nguyên nhân nào phát lên làm cho tổn hại đến sanh mạng cũng ráng cố gìn giữ cho đến cùng, như vậy mới có thể đạt được pháp cao thượng nào mà mình đã ước nguyện. Như mẫu chuyện của thầy tỳ khưu Cakkhupāla.
Câu chuyện thuật lại rằng: Có 1 thầy tỳ khưu tên Cakkhupāla khi sắp nhập hạ mới hội các vị tỳ khưu khác mà bàn luận rằng: “Trong khi nhập hạ chúng ta nên nguyện mỗi vị 1 pháp đầu đà tùy sở thích, riêng phần tôi xin nguyện không nằm trong 3 tháng để chú tâm vào pháp giải thoát”.
Thế rồi thời gian trôi qua, thầy thực hành không nằm được hơn 2 tháng, một hôm vì quá tinh tấn không nằm mà phát sanh bệnh đau mắt rất nặng. Trong xứ ấy có một ông thầy thuốc trị bệnh đau mắt rất hay, ông chỉ nhỏ thuốc một lần thì mạnh nhưng bệnh nhân cần phải nằm thì phương dược mới hữu hiệu.
Có người đem thuốc dâng cho ngài, ngài vẫn ngồi mà nhỏ thuốc thành ra bệnh không thuyên giảm mà còn tăng thêm. Ông thầy thuốc lấy làm lạ mới đến thăm và khuyên ngài là nên nằm mà nhỏ thuốc thì mạnh liền tức khắc. Ngài hứa sẽ hỏi lại rồi sẽ hay (chỗ này quí vị lấy làm lạ không biết ngài định hỏi lại ai, nhưng kì thật ngài sẽ hỏi lại tâm ngài cho thật kỹ coi nên làm đứt pháp đầu đà mà mình đã nguyện hay không?)
Tối hôm ấy khi ngài ngồi thiền định bèn nói với tâm rằng: “Này tâm ơi trong vòng sanh tử luân hồi hằng hà sa số kiếp ngươi đã từng bị đui mắt nhưng không hề gặp được Giáo Pháp của Đức Phật để thực hành vì vậy ngươi phải chịu xoay đi chuyển lại và phải chịu đui mắt ở trong màn vô minh đã vô lượng kiếp, kiếp này đây ngươi đã hữu phúc gặp được Giáo Pháp của Đức Thế Tôn mà ngươi còn gìn giữ bảo bọc tấm thân giả tạm này và làm cho hư hoại pháp hành mà ngươi đã nguyện hay sao?” Nghĩ thế ngài cương quyết thực hành luôn không nằm mà nhỏ thuốc dù cho con mắt có đui đi nữa miễn là “con mắt Pháp” (dhammacakkhuṃ) phát sanh lên thì mới mong thoát cảnh đui tối trong màn vô minh được.
Thế rồi ngài bỏ không chịu nhỏ thuốc cứ tiếp tục ngồi hành đạo luôn cho đến khi con mắt ngài nóng quá chịu không nổi phải nổ ra thì đồng thời tâm ngài cũng vừa thấy Đạo Quả Niết-bàn và đắc thành 1 vị A-la-hán.
