First Draft by Dreamflower

[dreamflower]

B2MeM Challenge: This prompt by hhimring: Someone opens the pages of a book and something falls out.
The book is either a volume from the Rivendell library or the personal copy of an inhabitant of Rivendell. It could contain Bilbo's translations from the Elvish or an ancient elvish lay or be a ledger of household accounts--there are many possibilities.
What is it that falls out of the book: a fragment of a letter, a pressed flower, a ripped page or an elaborate bookmark, maybe? Does it evoke memories or trigger a discovery? Perhaps it even has some kind of special powers?
Who is it who opens the book--Elrond himself, someone who lives in Rivendell or a visitor?
This could be set at any time since the founding of Rivendell and feature in very different types of stories.
And this prompt by the_winterwitch: Any kind of fanwork - story, art, craft - show us or tell us about a book/scroll/manuscript from Elrond’s library. Title, description, summary, cover, binding, endpapers, the art of book-binding, illumination or anything related, or a story about one particular book, be it its creation, history, content, or just playing a major role in any kind of story. It doesn’t have to be a complete work/book either. Anything goes here, provided it centers around anything that has to do with the Library of Rivendell.
This could be set at any time since the founding of Rivendell and feature in very different types of stories.
Format: Short story, art,
Genre: Friendship, Nostalgia, Calligraphy
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Aragorn, Arwen, Erestor, Merry, Pippin
Pairings: Aragorn/Arwen
Creators' Notes (optional): See the end notes.

Candle of Hope - Linda Hoyland

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Family traditions, from the silly to the serious. Are the children read to at bedtime every night or do they exchange silly gifts on birthdays/Yule/etc. or do they light candles for deceased family on a certain day of the year? Maybe silly games like “pinch punch first of the month” or do they have a game night once a week? Or are there traditions for spotting the first spring flower, firefly, or something of that nature?
Something, anything about family traditions.
Format: Short story
Genre: Family

Characters: Ivorwen, Gilraen, OFCs, Dírhael, Aragorn, Arwen, Eldarion.

Pearl Took, by Kaylee Arafinwiel

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Family Traditions

Format: Double drabble

Genre: Family

Rating: PG

Warnings: Vague mention of prior death.

Characters: Paladin II, Eglantine Took, Pearl Took, Fortinbras II, Adalgrim Took, OCs

Pairings: Paladin/Eglantine

Creators' Notes (optional): For Dreamflower, inspired very much by her hobbits!

Summary: The Naming Day of Paladin Took's first child does not go quite as expected. (This will make far more sense if you have read Dreamflower's "The Dwarf Dagger", "Eleventy-One Years", and, from "Dreamflower's Mathoms III" "An Evening at Whitwell" and/or know her (and my) headcanon for Paladin's family. But it can, I hope, be enjoyed even if you don't know those fics. Highly recommend them, though! :) )
