The Unburied for the wip ask game please!

(WIP titles ask game)

The Unburied is the longfic I am going to finish and start posting once tfs is done! At the moment it's on the backburner, but I'm still very committed to it. A canon-compliant fic spanning the years between the ship-burning at Losgar and the rise of the Sun, from the alternating POVS of Maglor in Mithrim and Fingon on the Helcaraxe.

Here's a snippet:

“You look better,” he said, to change the subject. While Curufin was still very pale, there was some animation now in his dark eyes, and he moved with an echo of his old confidence. “Not that — I mean—” He had never known himself to stumble over his words before, he who had wielded them as a weapon long before Morgoth put any thought of forging swords into the minds of the Noldor in Tirion. A frightening thing, to know yourself so little, to wake up with half your heart torn away and find yourself a stranger without it. “It helped, a little,” said Curufin. “Making this.” He managed a wry smile, and added, “I suppose Tyelko was right when he used to say that I could forget anything with the work. For a time, at least.” “I am glad,” said Maglor, and meant it. “You might try it too, Káno,” said Curufin. He could not grow used to this, the sight of his little brothers all looking at him with varying degrees of nervous concern, as though it was their responsibility to care for him and not the other way round — and why did they bother, anyway? Did they hope to make themselves replacements, as though any of them could say in that fond and laughing voice, Káno, you should not stay up this late, go to sleep, or Káno, you have forgotten to eat again, have you not? No matter, I brought you some fruit — no, I will not leave until you have eaten it all, or even Come for a walk with me, dearest, you have not been outside in days— He still could not weep. “Try what?” he asked, trying to sound interested in the answer. “I have not heard you sing,” said Curufin, “since Tyelko came back.” A pretty euphemism, that: as though it was Celegorm’s return that was the cause of their sorrows, and not the fact that Maedhros had not.

For the five sentences ask game: 'Théoden would not have minded being dead but for the fact that he could not attend his niece's wedding in the flesh.'

The Halls of Men permitted those it housed to view the lives of those they had left behind, of course, but it was a poor substitute, looking at the misty threads of the Tapestry of the Living, when he had thought—in the days before Gríma began his leechcraft—that he would see his niece resplendent with joy on her wedding day and thus fulfill the promise he had made to his sister on her deathbed to see her children grown and settled. 

But doom had set a different course for him.

Théodwyn’s hand, incorporeal as it was, settled on his shoulder with a warmth he had not thought possible in their current state, and she said, “Éowyn knows that you are with her, and that you hoped for nothing more than to see this day.” Compassion shone in her eyes, for she knew the sorrow he bore at having been able to fulfill only half of his promise to her.

Théoden reached up and placed his hand over his sister's, and with Éomund, Elfhild, and Théodred gathered about them, they watched as Éowyn, a vision of joy, took her husband’s hand and smiled as Théoden had seen her so rarely smile while he had still lived, and his heart stirred with a joy that he had not known since he had found his way to the halls of his fathers.

Hi! Tumblr glitched on me while sending in this ask so you may get it twice. I was wondering if you could recommend me some arwen/eowyn fics. The ship has really been growing on me recently and I'd love to hear any recommendations you have!

Tumblr spared you this time, I only got it once. I saw your tags on that last Arwyn art and it made me chuckle because that was my feeling also...I never got the appeal of the ship beyond "they're both women and they exist" but it's growing on me...partly because I'm just desperate for sapphic Arwen content and there are only so many options for shipping her unless you have an OC TT_TT

Anyway yes I am delighted to rec some Arwyn fic! (*^▽^*)

Games and Fantasy by Genesis_Grey - E - 3.3k - Arwen teaches Eowyn how elves play games.

Of All the Stars, the Fairest by whatiwouldnotgive - E - 7.2k - Arwen and Eowyn develop a friendship post-canon that gives way to a lovely romance.

Only a Shadow and a Thought by tinnurin - T - 1k - As they wait for the host of the west to march towards the Morannon, Éowyn and Arwen share a quiet moment together, discovering that they are more alike than they might have suspected.

Shadow of the Evening by RussetFiredrake - T - 2.9k - Sauron's defeat did not end evil in Middle Earth; it only ended his reign in Mordor. With Aragorn and Faramir both dead in the War of the Ring, Arwen has taken up the crown in Gondor. A gentle woman still at times requires a sword, however, and she has found one in Éowyn of Rohan, ever willing to put her own life in danger.

Unfortunately that's all I have for them right now...I will drop this in their tags though in case anyone else has additional recs!

You can also check out their tag on sapphictolkien o3o

I'll go for one I don't know anything about so: Fool's Gold Melts and Glistens All the Same please!

🫡

I can't find it now, I might have lost it in my likes —where many posts I can't reblog in the moment go to die— but I saw one post that said sth along the lines of what if both Sauron and Celebrimbor mistakenly thought they were on the same side.

Through their half revelations, implications and 5D chess, what if Celebrimbor thought Sauron too wanted to do nothing else with Morgoth, thus becoming his own thing (projection levels: catastrophic; father issues level: somehow worse). At the same time, Mairon thinks Celebrimbor sees and understands his vision for the world, only to realise he completely misinterpreted everything.

Celebrimbor still loses the chess match, which means Sauron also loses it in the long run. I am rooting for 5k of insane projecting and distorted thinking where being admirable in skill means nothing to two beings desperate to deny their own makers, thus causing them to have the most catastrophic misunderstanding of the 2nd age.

Will probably set it in the same universe as Unholy Minister, hehe.

16, 17 & 19 for the book asks!

Thanks for the ask!

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

Deathless. I'd heard a lot of good things about it and about how similar it is to The Winternight Trilogy (which I adored) and had seen lots of promising excerpts on here, so I went into it with high expectations. But as hard as I tried, I just couldn't get into it and ended up DNF'ing it partway through. I was really disappointed because I'd been looking forward to it for a long time, and I love Eastern European fantasy and can never find enough of it. :(

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries! For whatever reason, its blurb didn't snag me, so I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I ended up loving it! It's absolutely hilarious with big Howl and Sophie vibes from the main characters. 15/10 can barely wait for the sequel to come out in January.

Olivia Atwater's Regency Faerie Tales were also a pleasant surprise! I'm not much of a Regency fan (and I get kinda sick of the majority of historical fantasy novels being set in the Regency period), but the books were a lot of fun, Ten Thousand Stitches especially.

I also was blown away by Ashley's Poston's depictions of grief in The Dead Romantics and The Seven-Year Slip. I wasn't expecting the books to delve so deeply into grief, but I'm glad they did because Ashley Poston writes it masterfully. She just gets it.

19. Did you use your library?

I have five library cards, and I use them like my life depends on it.

'My insides also say "cunt" but in pastel pink with little Kawaii kittens around.' This line is iconic and beautiful I love it!💖

It's the truth. I will aggressively drive to the mall and stomp through the aisles just to get a special treat for a friend.

I can be very mean (especially inside my head where I am - woe! - alone with myself quite a bit), but I try to nip that in the bud.

I have a thousand flaws, which make me - in my own eyes - a proper wee cunt, but I am also the wettest, most pathetic little ragdoll who loves plushies and colourful pens.

Basically, I am a rainbow straight to hell disguised as a hard-ass. 🥲

Thank you for this message, I shall now tell my husband that someone found something I said funny. I'll ride that high until I fall asleep, and I hope to take it with me into my day ❤️❤️❤️

May you have a blessed day as well where plenty of good and funny things happen to you ❤️

Eowyn and her aunts, please, for the WIP game? Thank you!

Thanks for asking! @grey-gazania and @hobbitwrangler this is for you, too.

This one is set around the time of Thédowyn's death, and her sisters arrive to help her and her children. Here's a snippet of it:

Théodburga withdrew from the chest a length of dark cloth and measured the cloth against Éowyn, marking it with pins and cutting it into pieces. Gradually, the cloth took the shape of a dress, and Éowyn was made to try it on. Though it fit well, Théodburga did not smile, as Théodwyn so often did when she finished sewing a dress for Éowyn. Éowyn did not much like the dress, though it was made of fine cloth. Its collar was high and stiff and forced her to hold her head high. Théodburga had embroidered in golden thread chains of lilies upon the collar and about the hems of the sleeves, which hung heavily from her arms. It felt to Éowyn a prison, a dress for a grown woman, rather than a girl of only seven summers. Théodburga studied her. “It will do,” she said and turned away. “Must I wear it?” Éowyn asked. The words were ungrateful. Her mother, if she had been awake, would have admonished her for speaking so to her aunt. Théodburga turned, and Éowyn bowed her head in apology and said quietly, “It is only that I prefer my other dresses. They are easier to play and do my chores in.” Théodburga was silent for a moment, and when she spoke at last, her voice was strangely quiet and held no tone of rebuke: “You may wear your other dresses now, but you will have to wear this one soon, I fear.”

I recently repainted my bedroom and realized that wholly unintentionally, I picked variants on the same three colors I chose to paint it the very first time I was allowed to paint my room, when I was 11 XD Consistency?

My toenails are sparkly pink rn

I got my bellybutton pierced in September

15 & 30 for ao3 wrapped asks!

Thank you for the ask! <3

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

So many lol. But of multichapter fics that I've been working on for a while: I've come to accept that this is yet again not the year that I will finish and post the Eowyn/Glorfindel AU fic. Maybe next year. Or the year after. Who knows! I certainly don't.

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

Answered here, but I'll add that I didn't at all expect that I'd write so many hobbit-focused fics this year. They really carved out their spot in my heart this year.
