Summary
As the world turns toward the forging of dominion and the cost of truth, the desert remembers what others try to bury, and bloodlines begin to assert themselves with dangerous clarity.
Ezai walks a narrowing path, no longer able to deny what she has become. The choices she has already made echo outward, altering the balance between court and wasteland, faith and fear.
Halbrand, ruling in the aftermath, must confront the consequences of governance built on half-truths and mercy alike. The mask he wears grows heavier, even as those who look to him begin to see too clearly.
As forces move in secret and in plain sight, the line between fate and manipulation blurs. What was once coincidence hardens into design. What was once survival becomes strategy.This next arc unfolds alongside the events of Rings of Power Season 2, exploring the spaces between canon moments, where power consolidates quietly and where loyalty is tested not by battle, but by foresight.

Summary
In any universe, Faramir and Legolas were always going to end up friends. In this universe, where they are both teenagers, their friendship is a particular comfort to both of them as they deal with changes in their lives.
Chapter 1 Summary: The two princes are enjoying their collaboration on a gift for Gimli’s young nephew. They are translating (Faramir) and illustrating (Legolas) a book of fairytales from Harad. Lord-the-Captain Dervorin is assisting them with their project when his ‘good friend’ Sir Herdestir stops by to say farewell before he leaves on a patrol. Herdestir gets more than he bargained for when both Faramir and Legolas take this as an opportunity to ask him questions he wasn’t expecting.
Afterward, Faramir, who once received a comprehensive ‘sex talk’ from his worldly elder brother, graciously offers that he and Legolas can excuse themselves so that Dervorin and Herdestir can ‘say a proper goodbye.’ Legolas, meanwhile, has no idea what in the world Faramir is talking about.

Summary
“Oh Elrond, you and I have lived long enough to know that ordinary people arrive at extraordinary cruelty by forgetting the past in perfectly reasonable increments as they plan for the future. I fear that the descendants of two children found sobbing beneath a bed amidst the ruins of their birthplace may one day come to lay waste to the cradles of another’s civilisation.”
___________________In Fourth Age Gondor, King Elessar is set to unite the Harad city-states under the banner of the White Tree, whilst Arwen struggles with her father’s legacy and her own mortality. But as the date for the surrender and subsequent transfer of power draws nearer, a Haradrim campaign of resistance and subterfuge ramps up in Minas Tirith, and with Maglor Fëanorian’s unexpected appearance in the city, the descendants of Elrond and Elros Peredhel find they can no longer ignore the reopening wounds of First Age Beleriand.
A story of Harad and the West, from the Union of Maedhros to the King’s Peace of Gondor.

Summary
“When Vizieroy Mehrzād told Queen Arwen and King Elessar that the demolition of the Jud-Aman star tower of Middle Harad would be delayed by a day because the chief astronomer had thrown herself off its highest balcony, she took the news calmly, kissing Aragorn briefly on the cheek. She spent the afternoon walking in her temporary garden instead, thinking about how Elrond once told her that it had been the height of spring when Fëanorian warhorses thundered into Sirion seven thousand years ago.”

Summary
Long before the Shadow stirred in the West, the Zahâr, people of the Far Harad, swore an oath to guard Arda from the Children of Morgoth left behind. Among them was Ashira Sirokh, youngest of the Ishâri, whose life has been shaped by sun, sand, and the Long Watch against the dark.
When word of a great council reaches the Harad, and a small yet perilous power stirs in the kindly West, Ashira is drawn beyond the desert and onto a road far greater than she ever imagined.
Her tale begins, as many great stories in Arda and beyond do, with the meddling of a Wizard.

Stranded on a lonely island after a violent storm, Lord Amrothos of Dol Amroth is pulled from the surf by Arwa, a fierce Haradrim woman with many secrets. Bound by necessity, the two forge an uneasy alliance as they struggle to survive the wilds—and each other. Yet as the days pass and the walls of prejudice begin to fracture, a quiet bond takes root, unsettling and undeniable.

Summary
Patterns and echoes of what she knew was supposed to happen - she could see them everywhere. She was what was wrong in the picture, the thing that shifted everything and caused devastating changes, and yet even then the weave of history showed a similar image to what she had expected.
Being reincarnated into the body of an Elf, growing up in Rivendell, it had always sounded like a dream to her. It was both a dream and a nightmare. Love and grief were inseperable for her, even when she was surrounded by people who were supposed to be immortal. The future loomed menacingly ahead, promising war, love, and even more loss.
She didn't want it. She wanted freedom to choose her own fate, and she wanted the freedom to explore Middle-earth.
What would you do with three thousand years? Well, she certainly wasn't going to spend them sitting in Rivendell.Series

Summary
Per my oomfs' requests on twitter: this fanfic I wrote in 2020 when I was 14.
Erestor, unable to take the indignity of being disregarded and cast aside now that Glorfindel has returned from the dead, determines to rid Middle Earth of him once more, for good this time- except, he gets caught, and an exciting adventure of mystery, intrigue, and a crime ring of ambiguous morality ensues when Aragorn refers him to his good friend Legolas now that he's out of a job. Oh, and Legolas is the leader of an organized crime ring. I think. I was 14 and didn't seem to have any clear idea of where this story was going. Enjoy.
