Summary
“Well then,” said Glorfindel, “can you tell me more about this very minor injury that you fear may keep you out of battle? As in, what is it, and how did you come by it?”
“It was an accident. A ridiculous one.” The corners of Ecthelion’s mouth turned downwards. “I was walking past the archery butts when, quite suddenly, I was struck by a stray arrow.”
“Where?”
“In the northern corner, just past the Balrog-shaped targets.”
“No, where on your body?”
“In the… lower back.”

One place to find them all
One place to post them
One place to keep them all
And in one archive host them."Them" refers to those of my "works" that are too short or too ridiculous (even by my standards) to warrant a fic of their own. So, drabbles, vignettes, puzzles, even some "poetry".
New in Spring 2026: two very silly drabbles about Feanor.

Summary
If I told you that the romantic word "gondola" has its origins in the equally romantic (and tragic) Elven city of Gondolin, would you believe me?
No? Perhaps this series of vignettes will convince you.
Now complete, after ten years!

Summary
While I work on the longer Ecthelion/Glorfindel stories, my brain will ever so often, boil over and dump out a vignette or two.
Now, I am dropping them all over here. Most are (meant to be) humour, although Alqualonde Days -- which is a complete, self-indulgent story, actually -- is not. Small caveat: they will all make more sense to readers already familiar with my takes on these characters.
The latest addition is incredibly sentimental.

(A rather AU story, written for slide 161 of the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, which presented an ingenious prompt: the Thangorodrim Rescue, starring a different pair of Finwion cousins. The beautiful art is included at the end, for your enjoyment!)
