Eastern Promises Fiction/Art List--
So in the process of being caught up in Eastern Promises love, I have, of course, been attempting to beg, cajole and threaten my nearest and dearest into writing me fic in the universe. This has worked out surprisingly well, much to my shock, and as one of my next tasks is to rec the things written for me in the recent seasonal exchanges, you'll see just how well. ^_^
Anyway. Obviously at this point the fandom itself is pretty small, and while there is no specific fic/art-comm (and I'm not sure there's interest for it just yet, otherwise I would have created one myself), after checking with the easternpromises mods, it turns out it's ok to post fic there. So far, I think I'm the only one who has done so, but I'm hoping others will take my cue and go from there. (And, as always, as long as an EP fic/artwork contains Nikolai, it is perfectly ok to post at sons_of_gondor.)
I've been looking around for EP fic, however, and it turns out there's more out there than I thought. So to make my life easier, and for anyone else who is on the lookout, here's a list of everything I've found to date. Some of it I was pointed to (thank you), some of it was written for me (thank you!!!), and some of it I simply stumbled on. The list is arranged alphabetically by writer/artist first, and then chronologically from earliest piece posted. If you have any additions or corrections please let me know.

I've also stumbled on a surprising number of crossovers (well, not really surprising, given how big LotRPS is), including Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom and Goldeneye (Alec Trevelyan).

Additionally, this is not a rec post, but rather a list of everything I've found to date. Some of these fics I have not yet read myself; however, I would definitely recommend stopping in to read phantomas' and savageseraph's EP fics, if nothing else. If you do follow the links provided and you enjoy a story, please leave the writer a comment letting them know; the EP fic-writing fandom is tiny, and encouragement can do nothing but good.
I'm fairly certain that I saw a Nikolai/Alec Trevelyan crossover cross my Flist a little while ago, but I've been unable to track it down again. Could the writer or, really, anyone else who knows what I'm talking about point me in the right direction? Found it, and have added it to the list.
Please note: The comments to this post contain some discussion/critique of the fic/art listed above, and thus are not necessarily unrelentingly positive (nor are they unrelentingly negative). They are not meant to discourage or upset writers/artists/readers, but are rather subjective considerations/opinions by readers.

**Please note: The VOLA archive requires you to pass an automated age check before you can access higher-rated stories. Therefore you may not be able to directly access the separate parts of this series via the links provided above until you have independently entered the archive and completed the check (usually by then clicking on an R or NC-17 rated story and then choosing "OK" in the pop up window).
