Spring Into Arda Wrap-up
Spring Into Arda has come to a close for the year. Thanks to all those who participated!
Back to Middle-earth Month had 12 works posted to the collection on AO3. These can be found at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/B2MEM2021
Remember, you can add works to the collection late, so if you started something and haven't finished it yet, feel free to tuck it in when you finish.
Mini Spring Bang has 9 works posted to the AO3 collection. Under the cut, you'll find a list of all of the works posted for both parts of the spring event.
Look for more information in 2022 for B2MEM, when the theme will be... School Daze, a school-and-education-themed set of prompts and events. And of course, the Mini Spring Bang will be back for year two!
And if you can't wait that long... keep watching this space for info on a new autumn event, Scribbles & Drabbles, under the Fall for Tolkien banner! This artist-and-author event caters to those who write short works, from drabbles on up, and for artists who sometimes prefer to leave things up to the viewer's imagination.
And now, for some stories and art from the Spring. Enjoy!
Aurora Borealis by Tethys_resort
The Grinding Ice was miserable and dangerous. And beautiful. A story from the March across the Ice.
Blossoms of Gold by senalishia
Aredhel is reborn in Valinor. She no longer has anything to fear, but she feels like something is holding her back. She meets Erehwin, a cantankerous Sinda goldsmith who is helping Turgon to build a new city on the plains of Valinor. Can these two women help each other move past the pains of their previous lives and into a new future together?
Brothers in Arms by Zhie
Years of the Trees. At a Family Reunion party, Feanor's children take it upon themselves to set up a competition between him and his brother, Fingolfin. Finarfin tries to be helpful. Tries is the operative word. Happy ending fluff. Bunniverse compatible standalone story. Written for B2MEM 2021.
Building trust by Unlos
Aredhel/Original Elf Character
Downfall by lferion
Beleriand falls
The Eagle by hennethgalad
Olwë witnesses Estë soothing an injured eagle.
even so, i must admire your skill: you are so gracefully insane by 2Nienna2 & Dialux
In which Galadriel screams, Lalwen slays, Maglor shouts, and Celebrimbor survives. In that order.
Four Seasons in One Day by Himring
Although the Noldor have been in Middle-earth for a while, things are still very new to them: Aredhel, Amrod and Amras resuming old habits and exploring a new environment together.
Graven on Stone by hennethgalad
Daeron devises the Cirth.
Greetings, O Favored One by Aipilosse & AeonDelirium
Celebrimbor and the perils and blessings of the Holy Ones favor.
Hope at 9.8 m/s^2 by Tethys_resort
Elwing jumped and flew away. Gil-galad and Cirdan hang on as Beleriand falls.
"I do my own stunts and my own saving" : a Finduilas as Gil-Galad Playlist by 2Nienna2
A playlist for Dialux’s fic “this most ancient of sufferings at last grows fruitful”.
Just Look at Me, I'm Limited by senalishia & tehhumi
Elrond has arrived in Valinor at long last; Maglor will follow soon. Elrond reaches out to the Sons of Feanor as to what reception he can expect, and finds that the Valar's judgement is stronger, and stranger, than he had believed.
Pies and Presents by StarSpray
One year Bilbo has a particularly special present for Frodo on their birthday.
Posters From The War by AwfulLoneliness & Narvaeril
Two posters to keep the morale up during the War against Morgoth, one from the beginning and one from the end
Rules of the Soul by starlightwalking
An examination of bonds, brotherhood, and betrothal through the stories of the first Kings of the Eldar and those they love.
Seas the Day by jamcake_muses & Zhie
Drinking with Gil-galad can be hazardous to health, as Ecthelion and Glorfindel discover. Sometimes, it's the Elf-lords who need rescuing.
A Star Shines On The Hour Of Our Meeting by Ysilme
Maglor wanders. Elrond dreams of Maglor and goes on a search.
Sundry prompts for B2MEM2021 by TheTremulousHand
These are some prompts filled for the Back to Middle Earth March 2021 Challenge. Be forewarned that I am extremely bad at prompts, and often end up writing something that only relates to the prompt if you turn around three times, stand on your head and squint. May have spanking in later chapters.
Take me home with you tonight by starlightwalking
Maeglin is captured by the Enemy and shipped off to Angband - only to be rescued by the unlikeliest of Atani, wielding the twin of his father's lightsaber.
this most ancient of sufferings at last grows fruitful by Dialux
In which Idril, Elwing and Finduilas plot to make a proper High King. It all goes awry, but when has Finduilas' life ever been straightforward?
