A Pantoum for Nimloth, by Kaylee Arafinwiel

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: There is so little about Nimloth in canon, and I'd love to know more - who is she and where did she come from, what did it feel like stepping into the footsteps of Melian as Queen of Doriath? I'd rather not read about the Kinslaying, and would prefer something set during her early life or reign in Doriath.

Format: Poem

Genre: Poetry?

Rating: PG

Warnings:

Characters: Galathil (brother of Celeborn), Nimloth (queen of Doriath), Amdir, OC

Pairings: Dior/Nimloth, Galathil/OC

Creators' Notes (optional): Aglarwen, Galathil's wife, is an OC of mine and Emma's. In our-verse, Amdir, later king of Lothlorien, is the younger brother of Nimloth and she is the firstborn child of Galathil and Aglarwen, but this poem insisted on making him the elder sibling, so I consider it AU to our main stories, lol.

Summary: A poem, in the form of a pantoum, spoken (or thought) by Galathil, her father (Celeborn’s younger brother) on Nimloth’s wedding day to Dior Eluchil, son of Beren and Lúthien.

Strings of the Heart by Erulisse (one L)

[engarian.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Maglor & Daeron, gen or slash, wandering together
Format: Short Story
Genre: General
Rating: G with hints of PG
Warnings: None
Characters: Maglor, Daeron
Pairings: Maglor and Daeron
Creators' Notes starbrow said: I always thought it was interesting that both of Beleriand's renowned musicians ended up wandering off into the wilderness, never to be heard from again. I'd love to see some stories about them finding each other, wandering Middle-earth in each other's company, and making sweet music together - whether in a platonic or romantic sense. Any Age can work for this, up to and including modern times and, indeed, the future.
Summary: Five times when Maglor and Daeron found each other

Daughters, Sisters, Wives, by Rhymer

[rhymer23.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Written for the following prompt left in the Rohan market stall by just_ann_now: "I 'd love to read something about Eowyn's relationships with other women in Meduseld. Did she have any friends to confide in, either while she was growing up, or during the events of the story?"

Format: Short story
Genre: Gen. Character study. Friendship.
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Éowyn, female OCs, plus appearances by Théodwyn and Lothíriel
Pairings: Brief references to Éowyn/Faramir and Lothíriel/Éomer, but they're not the focus of the story.

Summary: "I should have given you sisters," her mother said. "This is such a place of men." This is a tale of Éowyn and the girls and women who might have been her friends in the years of her childhood, the dark years of her growing, and in the years yet to come.

Til the End of the Dark, by Suzelle

[suzll.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Who exactly are the Elves who greet Thorin & Co as they travel into Rivendell? And what do they get up to when they are not catcalling random Dwarves? OCs are great, as would be cameos from known Rivendell elves. And given the timeline, extra bonus for including Gilraen in your story!

For a little extra inspiration, I have always loved this picture of the scene (the Elves are in the bottom right corner, under the bridge). - zopyrus

Format: poetry
Genre: humor, parody
Rating: Mature
Warnings: General profanities
Characters: Lindir, Original Female Character
Pairing: Lindir/OFC
Summary: The valley is quite jolly in June.
Creator's Notes: Thanks to the author of "Yet Another Lay of Gil-Galad" for looking this over! :) Ravennë the archlutist has been a background charcter in a couple of my Rivendell fics, and I am happy to finally give her center stage.
