Happy Birthday, Professor Tolkien 
          
          Cheers. Here's to another fifteen years of me writing Tolkien fanfiction <3 and to a lifetime of linguistics study in his honor.
          
          Learn a new word today. Here's a good one, if you haven't got one already: Eucatastrophe. I challenge you to research it today on Tolkien's birthday :D

@katiegoesmew Hell yeah, <3 there's some learned determination and endurance from those of us in the Spoonie community that really helps sometimes haha. But yeah, I love making goals, even if I know I likely will need to pivot down the line

Y'all not gonna lie but being the throes of another 4+ days Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome cycle/attack for the third time in eight weeks truly sucks. Like really sucks. My arms look all bruised from all the ER IVs. So if I'm afk Wattpad comments for awhile I'm probably pouting. I'll gladly accept any good vibes, best wishes, and prayers. I could use em lol.
          
          In case I forget, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone here ❤️ Looking forward to the New Year.

Truly I tried to wait till Sunday to share this chapter but alas I was not strong enough. Elrohir chapters are some of my faves, and this one most of all.

This year, I decided to enter my magnum opus, For Blood Ye Render Blood in several awards, many of which I was fortunate enough to win. One of those awards was for special categories. I managed to place first for: "Best Couple", "Best Female Lead," and "Best Tragic Ending." With 2025 coming to a close, I have retired this fic from my awards circuit minus the Ambys, where she's currently waiting to hear about the final round results.
          
          If you want to hear me ramble on about any of those three special category victories with FBYRB, check out this interview book here. All three of the interviews are posted!
          
          Thanks to everyone who read FBYRB this year and made my little tragedy loving heart ten times bigger with your support. I can't wait to focus on slightly LESS tragic stories in 2026, lol!

Got out of the hospital yesterday so time to publish a chapter today! Hope you guys enjoy another look from Elrohir's point of view. The High Pass is dangerous for many, not least of all the sons of Elrond.
