The Eastern Woman
Goneril is a General. One of the greatest warriors in Middle-Earth. At the head of a mercenary legion, she crosses Arda in search of new agreements. Men or Elves, Dwarves or Orcs, peoples of the Earth are enemies or clients for her. Never friends. Goneril is a woman. She apparently has no past, and a very uncertain future. There is someone, in the kingdom of Rohan, who will face her ferocity and find out who she really is. Short extract: {{ Goneril did not seem impressed. A girl who had survived a hundred lashes on her back at the age of thirteen, could certainly stand the hard stare of a man at the age of thirty. "See, I'm confused." She said, her red lips widening in a grin. "You talk about orders. But from what I have seen, it is no longer Éomer who gives orders, here. Neither Théoden nor his son, poor prince on the verge of death. Your noble family has been degraded to servitude." }} ⚜️⚜️⚜️ Italian FF translated in English. Please forgive eventual mistakes . 🙏🏻 The plot is based on the movie "Lotr - The Two Towers" by Peter Jackson. Most of the characters are inspired by Tolkien's works.

FORBIDDEN LIGHT Forbidden Light - Elrond x Oc
Note: English is not my first language. This story is inspired by the series The Rings of Power. In the beginning, there was only the light... pure, ancient, and unbroken. It flowed through every living thing, a whisper of creation and a promise of hope. Yet where light shines, shadows always follow, waiting in silence for their moment to return. They met in the stillness between duty and dawn - when the world was quiet enough for hearts to speak. She wore the light of her lineage like armor, golden and untouchable, yet her eyes sought the truth beyond the walls of her father's throne. He was the herald, sworn to carry the words of kings, not the whispers of his own soul. But when their gazes met, the air itself seemed to tremble - as if creation remembered the sound of its first heartbeat. Their love was a secret woven between shadows, fragile as morning mist and fierce as the flame that shapes steel. The world would have called it betrayal, but to them it was salvation, the one place where duty could not reach and silence could not reign. And though they knew the dawn would break them apart, still they chose to stand in that forbidden light, even for a single heartbeat more. 18+ guys....i think.

Blood of the Dragon/Aegon Targaryen
Nymeria is married off to Aegon Targaryen and she hates it, because of the stories she has heard about that man and refuses to marry him, everything about him irritates her, even his breathing irritates her, but is it hate that she really feels or is it what she tells herself, to keep hidden what she might really feel for him? Aegon doesn't really care, as usual, and he doesn't care much what his fiancée thinks of him, because he just knows that it will probably come to nothing and the engagement will be broken and continues drinking and going out on the town and doing what he has done his whole life, drowning his sorrows and sleeping with every woman. But then, the two get to know each other better, much to the annoyance of both, because they are so different, but still there seems to be a slight urge in both, to be together and when secrets come to the surface, the two only seem to have each other.![The Other Ranger [ Lord Of The Rings x Silmarillion ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/22397998-256-k949190.jpg)
The Other Ranger [ Lord Of The Rings x Silmarillion ]
#1 in Tolkien, #1 in Silmarillion, #1 in Lord of the Rings, #1 in Elrohir, #1 in Dunedain First in LotR series, Fëanoriel Chronicles. Written in 2012. Awaiting rewrite. *** Miril has been raised by Halbarad of the dúnedain after her forebearers came from Arnor, and before that Numenor, and even before that from Beleriand. She and her family are destined for things she doesn't quite comprehend yet. Though a seasoned ranger already, having faced the trials of the North for nearly 40 years, things hardly get easier with age. But before she can step into her own story, she journeys with her best friends, the twin sons of Elrond, running errands leading up to the War of the Ring. Her love of battle and craving for revenge for a death in her past leads to a discovery coming to light that some thought should've been kept hidden. They also might point to the truth of her parentage. When she starts having strange dreams about a swan ship, an oathbreaker, and a shining jewel, things just get crazier. Elrohir/OC *** Internal timeline will stretch from beginning of Lord of the Rings into the Fourth Age post War of the Ring with flashbacks. Needs a rewrite and general editing since it's 6+ years old, but I still like the premise and it spawned many sequels so... Please bear that in mind. *** FOR LORE: -BOOK CANON, not movies -Some liberties taken with the Ban of the Valar. -Technically this is Ninth Walker, not Tenth Walker (a more canon compliant version).Complete
Narn I Dant Gondolin (The Tale of the Fall of Gondolin)
This is a retelling of the story of Tuor and the fall of the legendary Elven city of Gondolin. It is based on the original 1918 version by J.R.R. Tolkien himself, but updated as much as possible thanks to additional material from both Unfinished Tales (the later Tuor) and The History of Middle-earth series. I must also admit to interpolating my own narrative additions, where definitive source material was lacking, in an effort to round out the story and make it more entertaining for modern audiences. Finally, it is a self-contained story. That is, you don't have to know anything about the world of Middle-earth in order to read and enjoy it. No infringement intended or implied. Long unavailable on the Internet, but now available once again. Written by a Tolkien fan for the enjoyment of fellow Tolkien fans worldwide.Complete![𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 | Silmarillion & LOTR [Book 2] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/305333153-256-k816235.jpg)
