    Summary

    When he first laid eyes on her, she was digging graves for the dead; she had arrived too late. When she first laid eyes on him, he climbed the hill as pillars of smoke trailed into the darkened air behind him; he had arrived too late. There they both stood, and there, in the deepening dusk and in the settling night, two heavy and sorrowful hearts met. It was all too late. Before them only the great abyss stretched unending.

    Shadows fall and darkness stretches over Middle-Earth, its reach growing longer still. The Free People face enemies not only in the open; hidden and secret, the great Enemy knows well to break their spirit, their will to fight, long before his armies come forward. The walls of Minas Tirith stand tall, strong, yet the strength of Men wanes. Trouble brews over the plains of Rohan, and the horse-masters remain ever vigilant in their watch. In the North, the Dunedain Rangers fight a war unseen by most; protecting lands that find themselves at an uncertain peace. But for how long?

    The Enemy is soon ready.

    A young woman sets out on a journey that will change her life forever.

    Summary

    Galadriel spotted him at the hotel bar before he looked to have even clocked her entrance. It was a mark of professional pride to be able to step into any situation with the immediate upper hand, and she couldn’t help but inwardly smile as she made her way across the expensively understated room, all dark wood and deep maroon, more usually frequented by Fortune 500 CEOs and black market billionaires.

    No one, not even the most mercurial of hired guns, expected the tiny blonde in Elie Saab to be a trained killer. Or that, even now, she had half a dozen knives cleverly concealed beneath her skirt.

    Summary

    If thawing him would in any way help her plight, she'd do it. If he'd been frozen for even just a week or two, it might work. Though, it was still risky even then. Even if he were one hundred percent, it would be difficult. Rated T for now. Mostly LEGENDS!

    Summary

    Despite his best efforts after Christine leaves, Erik finds himself alive and well and turning fifty. Well, if he’s bound to stay alive, he may as well start living. Of course, any great undertaking requires a first step, which Erik takes literally as a nice morning walk. He may not have a wife to take out on Sunday, but it seems as good a place to start as any.

    Nora Farley has enough money and years on her to live life on her own terms. And if one of the things she wants to do in life is walk by herself to and from early morning mass at Notre Dame, she will. And if she wants to say, “Good morning, Monsieur!” to the shy man who covers his face every Sunday…

    Well, everyone must learn to live with the consequences of their actions, mustn’t they?

    A quiet romance in which Erik takes it upon himself to learn how to live and may, perhaps, find someone to share that life with.
