What if Thranduil's family, and Elrond's, lived in a Moscow high-rise? What if each no longer commanded an army, but still fought the fight not everyone even knows exists? Moscow's police force is overworked and understaffed; the city's civilian population is exploding; crime-rates are expanding; and political neglect deepening. But with their cheerily relentless housekeeper to keep them all sane, with a little luck maybe they can keep their city safe. *For those of you who know Inladris from The Prince's Pretend Mother, you will understand why I couldn't bring her family to Russia without bringing her.

The kingdom of Mirkwood celebrates the birth of their new princess.

It has been nigh on two hundred fifty years since the destruction of the Ring and peace thrives in Middle Earth. Men, dwarves, elves, and hobbits live side by side in harmony, or do they? The Elves disappeared from Middle Earth nearly two hundred years ago and no one knows where they went. All they know is that one day they all vanished. Except for one. Illeandir has searched Middle Earth for two-hundred years, ever since a deadly attack that began everything. He scoured the land for a single scroll that holds the location of the lost Elves. But that too is lost. With no idea where to begin looking, Illeandir visits an old friend who may have a clue to where the scroll hides. Persued by orcs and goblins, who will stop at nothing to kill him, he makes his way to Gondor where he discovers the scroll doesn't exist. The hiding place of the Elves is a long kept secret by an elf long dead. But visions tell Illeandir otherwise; to revisit a time in his past he'd rather forget.

Allow if you will, a humble scribe to chronicle the lives of the warriors of The Company, Captain Legolas' elite patrol, for such courage deserves to be recorded. Even the deceased will be remembered, captured upon parchment in both word and paint along with the living, for are they not still with us? Join me then, if you will, and perhaps you will leave your own, kind words for posterity.

One decision made differently - as the Three Hunters chase after the orcs who have captured Merry and Pippin, they run through that second night rather than rest -- and everything changes. Well, not everything. They're merely captured by the orcs like Merry and Pippin. Not in the plan. One decision changed doesn't change one's destiny, however. How each of them is to reach the fate destiny has in store for them is a bit peskier, though... In this AU story, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are captured by the orcs trekking across Rohan and struggle to return to their task. There's action and adventure, suspense, not too much angst, and hopefully an enjoyable story for all. Feedback is welcome! This story won First Place in the MEFA Awards! Thanks as ever to the tireless beta, Thundera Tiger!

Legolas is a child of the deep, arcane forest. With the face of a Sinda and the heart of a Silvan, he struggles with the mysteries of his illegitimate past as he strives to fulfil his dream; to become a captain in the king's militia. Son of a Silvan mother he never knew, and an unknown Sindarin father, he finds the family he never had in his childhood friends and fellow warriors. But everything will change one fateful day, when a lieutenant will come to realise who The Silvan really is, a discovery that will lead to the unravelling of the mystery of his own past, one that will forever change the course of history. This is his journey from ignorance to understanding, from fantasy to reality and eventually, to Elven warrior-hood and his own, surprising destiny. ............................................................................................................................................... Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful, but my oh my did this one make me weep like nothing I have ever experienced. Thank you Nimruzir, I am so, so happy I found this tale, it was magnificent. GB12390 ............................................................................................................................................... I had expected a stunning final chapter but you surpassed my expectations! It was the most moving chapter. I had tears in my eyes for most of it and even more so when I read the end notes. It has been a privilege to read this work and review it. Legolas journey into the forest and what he found there is a spectacular culmination of your story. You wrote it so tenderly, so beautifully...I will miss reading the Silvan, but I know I can come back and read it again whenever I miss it too much!

Boom. Boom. Boom. The earth crackled and shook like the thunder in the heavens had pelted the earth with its voice. Doom. Doom. Doom. What if Samwise Gamgee never existed? Would the Fellowship still have triumphed? Undoubtably, not.

Mabyn was born with dwarfism into an already-harsh life. When she is hospitalized and drops into a coma, her mind imagines a better life for her, which to her is simply a life where she is respected, the dangers presented can be fought, and evil is easier to tell apart from the things which she loves. Her imagination transports her to a world of men, elves, dwarves and hobbits, where she unwittingly joins a company of dwarves on their quest to reclaim their homeland, and she finds people with whom she feels at home. *A lot of the dialogue of Tolkien's original characters is kept, as I don't intend to change the story, merely present a different version of it.

The Eldar say that those who marry late have strange fates and love certainly came late for Amaruil Celebrindal, a noble Sindar, friend of Arwen Undomiel and the love left behind in Rivendell as the Fellowship left to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn was not the only member of the Fellowship who was fighting for an elf.
