Fic: Ambarussa (SIL/LOTR/POTC crossover), M, Erestor / Glorfindel, Gillette (of sorts) / Norrington
Demasted in a hurricane after a battle with pirates, HMS Dauntless has entered unchartered waters in the west. The crew is dying, and all hope seems lost when an unknown ship approaches the Dauntless - unknown to all but Lt. Gillette, James Norrington's redheaded first lieutenant.

Warnings for angst, hurt/comfort and life aboard a 18th century ship not being particularly fluffy, especially in battle.
When I started writing this tale back in 2013, it was supposed to be my farewell-gift to my two fandoms, LOTR and RNOTC (an offspring of POTC). Specifically a small "thank you" to those who had always begged me to write at least once "sons of Fëanor who are not crows". But then "Ambarussa" was lost along with parts of my website. I have now managed to restore the first five chapters and rewrote the last two, so here it is. It was great fun stretching my sea legs once more.
A word of caution for my LOTR readers: while it says Erestor/Glorfindel in the tags, this is not the Erestor you are used to from my other tales.
Short explanation for non-LOTR readers regarding the who is who (LOTR experts, you really do want to skip this!) can be found in the notes at the end of the first chapter.
