"Of Kings and Aid" by BrookeofLorien

[ladybrooke]

Title: Of Kings and Aid
Author Name: BrookeofLorien (/LadyBrooke)
Prompt: "Tolkien's stories frequently feature cities, dynasties, or entire groups of people who rise and then fall in importance. Write or create art about a place or group that is no longer important."
Summary: As the former Sindar of Doriath try to find new homes, Oropher and Celeborn try to explain to Gil-galad and Galadriel why those elves under Oropher and Amdir will not accept aid.
Rating: General
Warnings: None
Author's Notes: This might be stretching the definition of no longer important - they're certainly less important, Doriath is gone, and many of them are dead, but some of the Sindar remain in positions of power until at least the Fourth Age. Hopefully I did an alright job writing it, as well.

Title: Snow Games
Author Name: Seanlijahlove (aka Lbilover)
Prompt: Staying warm against the wintry weather.
Summary: A rare heavy snowfall brings hobbits young and old out to play, but especially Sam and Rosie's children.
Rating: G (General)
Warnings: None

Title: Empty Spaces
Author Name: sigridhr
Prompt: "Winter and snow will bite both men and elves…'" (Thorin, The Hobbit, "A Thief in the Night")
Summary: During winter in Hithlum, Elenwë has an unusual dream.
Rating: G
Warnings: References to character death.
Beta: The ever-lovely and super helpful suzll. Any remaining mistakes are mine and due to me tinkering afterwards.
Author's Notes: This takes place in an AU where Turgon dies during the crossing of the Helcaraxë, and is survived by Idril and Elenwë. Uses Quenyan names, so for anyone who is unfamiliar: Irissë is Aredhel, Itarillë is Idril, and Turukáno is Turgon.
