After a day of crazy posting, at last, the holiday gift stories are unlocked.

First of all, I must give sincerest thanks to juno_magic, who clued me in to Deepest Sender for LiveJournal, saving me hours of inserting HTML tags as I usually do. It was much easier to cut and paste and tinker with the source rather than my usual habit of scanning the story for ( Read more... )

alassante asked for a Fëanorian drabble. Now, seeing as I wrote full stories for everyone else, it seemed a bit unappreciative of Alassante--who has become a good friend in just a few weeks--to give her a mere hundred words. So I hope you don't mind, Al, that I've expanded on your request a bit and did a drabble series for you about your favorite Elf ( Read more... )

Tarion asked for a meeting between the sons of Finarfin and Caranthir, preferably with a bit of angst. As I came into this story after writing a lot of the heavier stuff, this story turned into something of a funny affair, but it talks about teenaged first love quite a bit, so angst is guaranteed, although hopefully of the funny variety.

(alassante, you ( Read more... )

myrsine asked for Fingolfin and Lalwen behind closed doors, where Fingolfin need not be so uptight as he often is in public, in Felak!verse. Since I'd never done any work with the daughters of Finwë, this was a neat opportunity to start working on their characters. Alas, yesterday, while driving home from work, my thoughts turned to doing an AMC-type ( Read more... )

Curuevo asked for a story about Macalaurë and Fëanaro--a nice story about Macalaurë and Fëanaro. Since my Macalaurë and Fëanaro muses don't often like to play nice together, this proved quite the challenge ( Read more... )

Juno provided for me an interesting holiday gift challenge: write a story containing a purple scarf, a nightingale, a waterfall, pointy ears, and the naked Elves of my choice.

Well, my choice of a naked Elf is more a naked half-Elf, if we want to keep the lineage of the sons of Elrond simple, but given that Juno is likely Elrond's number one ( Read more... )

Isil requested a Glorfindel/OFC NC17 romance. This story is just that: two lovers' first--and last--night together, on an infamous night in the history of Gondolin. Don't worry, though, Isil, it has a happy ending. ;)

If Isil's request didn't clue you in, this story is quite deserving of an adult rating for graphic heterosexual sex.

( The Last Night of the World )

sirielle asked for a story about Maedhros remembering the tales Finwe told the boys about Cuivienen and his adventures there, either in Aman or in Sirion. Well, I didn't quite manage Sirion, but I got Aman and Middle-earth, at the rising of the the Silmaril in the West.

I'm keeping this story at a general rating, although please be forewarned that there ( Read more... )

A rather ridiculous conversation between Tux, Jenni, and I inspired this next story. Tux asked for a longish one-shot of Celegorm/Oromë humor. Fëanor gets lost in the woods and has a bit of a misunderstanding about the antics of his third son with a certain Vala....

Just to be safe, I'm giving this story an adult warning for shameless innuendo and ( Read more... )

frenchpony shares my difficulty in expressing specifics as to gifts, so her request for "something Tolkien that you think I'd like" is one that I sympathize with. :) I hope I've done an acceptable job!

A while back, we had a discussion about the father-names of the Fëanorian boys and how it might have been received with fifth-born Curufinwë was given the ( Read more... )
