The choice of Beregond, Captain of the Third Company of the White Tower, is much overlooked. His judgment is the King Elessar's first ruling of many. In the dark days of the Siege of Gondor, Beregond must endure a war of his own, between head and heart. With the Lord Faramir injured and the Lord Denethor consumed by madness and grief, Beregond must choose whom to obey and whom to turn away from. With the armies of Sauron encroaching on the Pelennor, he doesn't have much time.
Here lies the record of days leading up to the choice of the Tower Guard during the Siege of Gondor, in the last days of the War of the Ring.

Lord of the Rings Fanfic- The Tale of Evelyn
" As wild as the Rangers of the North, as brutal as the Orcs, and as beautiful as the Elves." Evelyn is known as many things: a warrior, a bad attitude, destruction embodied, and a person with a record of vaporizing anyone that she didn't like. But that was all before she barged into the Council of Elrond, uninvited; with a plan to help accompany the Ring-bearer to Mordor. Saucy and battle-willed till the end, Evelyn delves into the journey of the Fellowship-- her devastating skill with steel and her unquenchable determination becoming a pillar for the group. But underneath the guise of a warrior, what the Fellowship doesn't know are the secrets that lie within-- and the demon of vengeance that awaits for the perfect opportunity. Because even though she may be their only hope, she can also be the sword of their destruction....Complete
The Return
Forty years have gone by since the beginning of the Fourth Age. The time of peace is falling away as Orcs are attacking villages in Eryn Lasgalen and Gondor, killing aimlessly. Legolas receives a strange letter from Aragorn asking him to meet in Imladris. But something happens on the road and Legolas and his captain, Thaladir, discover something disturbing about the new enemy. Something that could take them, Aragorn, and others as far as the Mines of Moria. Please Note: This is an older work of mine and while I still love it dearly, the writing isn't the best, and it is slightly AU because I didn't know Tolkien lore when I started it. So please don't judge my writing on this fic. «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» Disclaimer: I do not own any of Tolkien's characters or places.

The Odyssey of the daughter of the forest
In the dark forest of Mirkwood, shadows are growing, again and again. The leaves are becoming black, as the roots, and as the trees. Birds are not singing anymore. Flowers have disappeared. Even the sun has trouble to light the ground of the forest, once so alive and full of colours. A young elf with red hair is fighting every day for her people, who is retreating before its enemy, who is sending his troups from his black tower, in the south of Middle Earth. Orcs are coming, more and more numerous on their lands. The company of Thorin Oakenshield from the Blue Mountains will not succes to put an end to this invasion. Their fight will just postpone the deadline, by sacrifying many lives, and destroying many others. And by seperating for a while the path of two lovers, who are destined to meet again. Sixty years later, the elf joins the fellowship to save Middle Earth, once and for all, from the threat that are gliding above its people, for a long time. In this quest for freedom, will there be a place for love, hidden for so much time ? The Valars know the answer. Cette histoire existe aussi en français, sur mon compte.Complete

"You have to stop." she whispered urgently. "You're placing too much of this war onto your own shoulders, when you have hundreds of men behind you willing to help you carry it."

LOTR - Female Reader x Faramir Fanfiction
You're a Ranger of Ithilien and Faramir's Girlfriend. You were dating before he became a captain, and since, publicly, he don't treat you any different from anybody else, so it's cool. Anyway, you are sent with Boromir to be part of the Fellowship of the Ring. I got this idea after seeing the Expanded edition, (I had only seen the Theatrical, so it explained sooo much.) and then seeing the lack of Faramir fanfiction. Note: I'm relying heavily on the wiki for spelling, if you catch a typo, please let me know and I'll correct it. I will be drawing influence from the Expanded Edition, the books, and Lord of the Rings Online (MMORPG) Mature rating for: Violence, and Some Sexual Content. (It's not smut but the warning remains.)
