Yes, that was "LOTR", not Captain America (though I'm still just as obsessed with Cap & Bucky).

I ran across a terrific Glorfindel one-shot:

No pairings.

Glorfindel takes a short rest as he rides against the Nine in search of the halflings.

Be sure to leave her a review if you like it. :)

This is mostly for nefhiriel** and imbecamiel, but if you've any interest at all in a really top-notch Steve Rogers and Thor friendship fic, which I kinda am (to me, those two have the same pure hearts beating within their breasts), this one is just .... *flails*  I may have left one of the longest reviews in my life for this one and still didn't manage to convey to ( Read more... )

A wonderful, gentle Ivorwen-centric story featuring a stubborn young chieftain and a lot of humor and poignancy and an adorable image of Dirhael, which is all I'll say because of spoilers. She wrote this for me to read while recovering from my last surgery, but Internet woes kept her from posting it until now ( Read more... )

brennanspeaks gifted me with a very, very funny little fic... thank you, my friend!!

Little Disasters
Aragorn's attempt to impress Arwen goes awry. Halbarad enjoys the result a little too much.
Rated K+

Read it here or here.

Yes, I'm killing time before time to leave, and I found a very pleasant pastime indeed in a collection of drabbles featuring Aragorn in his many guises:

Fliewatuet's Flimsy Ficlets, by Fliewatuet, here at SoA.  Don't let the title fool you, because these are anything but flimsy!  Each is well written and she captures Aragorn perfectly, as well as ( Read more... )

I unearthed a very nice little fic about Gimli here at ff.net.  Like so many good stories over there that don't center on a modern-day girl falling into Legolas' arms, it's in dire need of nice reviews!

Characters: Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas, Merry, and Pippin

Ooh, this is exactly why I still fish through ff.net, because you do find an occasional gem in the midst of the dreck!

"A Great King", by Sandra S. - Greatness has to be achieved and wisdom to be gained. At the start of his great journeys Aragorn visits Mirkwood. And learns a lesson for life.  Rated T, complete.  Aragorn & Thranduil

Passing along two wonderful stories, in case you haven't already found them:

Labyrinth Time by Fiondil
Summary: Hidden in the fastness of Menegroth is a labyrinth. Deep in the woods of Lothlórien lies another. Though separated by time and space, they have a connection, one that lies in yet another wood. Inspired by the Teitho contest ‘Crossing ( Read more... )

For you Ranger fans like me, I found this little gem tucked away amidst all the girl-falls-to-Middle-earth stuff at ff.net.  Good characterizations and a spooky plot, as befits a Spooky Arda LJ community post:

Guarding the Heedless Folk
Written for the 2008 "Six Days of Spooky Challenge" at the Spooky Arda LiveJournal Community. When a man ( Read more... )
