Contemplation (B15)

[arwen75]

B2MeM Challenge: Beasty: Toad & Rangers of the North: Annúminas (B15) + icon 5 Books 5 characters: Aredhel (B15)
Format: Ficlet
Genre: General  -
Rating: G
Warnings:  None
Characters: LOTRO verse – two player characters
Pairings: NA
Summary:  On the lakeside Gilreth considers the past.
Authors Notes: Well this is told from the perspective of my minstrel elf Gilreth in LOTRO. The other character  is Droroin the dwarven Champion of my husband (plus one mention of my brother's PC Ciowyn). We tend  to be found as a pair a lot of the time – and I have a backstory for how we met (semi-RP when I can as on Laurelin). Not particularly good on one prompt I am afraid – but prompted by the screenshot at the top of story of Annúminas at night in game.

G50| A Mouth and His Horse

[huinare.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: “The Black Gate Opens” (Alternate Viewpoints).

Genre: General
Rating: PG13ish
Warnings: Brief reference to a gory incident; re-animated animals.
Characters: The Mouth of Sauron
Summary: The Mouth, about to meet the captains of the west, reflects upon his future and his horse.

Authorial Blather!  Knowing me, I’d likely have chosen this character for this prompt regardless–but nonetheless, I wanted to give a shout-out to Starlight, Dwim and Altariel, whose great responses to the Mouth of Sauron prompt on the “March 3019” card might have covertly influenced my choice of character here.

( The Mouth was fond of the horse in his way, and perhaps the sentiment was mutual in its way. )

Lullaby, by Aliana

[aliana1.livejournal.com]

This is a gapfiller for Dwim’s (dwimordene_2011) ridiculously amazing epic LotR AU, Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise Up from the Ash. And by “amazing,” I mean, it will rip out your heart and STOMP ON IT WITH FOOTBALL CLEATS. But I also just mean “amazing.” Everyone go read it (after this month, maybe).  I'm also delighted to be able to reference her 2012 B2MeM story, Remembrance.
