Moving On, by Silver Trails

[silver-trails.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: 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 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. (Prompt by Starbrow)

Format: short story (c.628 words)
Rating: PG
Characters: Maglor, Daeron

There is Nothing Lost, That May Not Be Found by Dreamflower

[dreamflower]

B2MeM Challenge: From a prompt by samtyr: There is a modern-day archaeological discovery that ties in with Elves and proves they did exist (in the manner of finding King Tut or Richard III). Of course, there still a few elves still living... somewhere. They're just super-talented at not being noticed. Maybe Elladan and Elrohir chose to be elves but didn't want to leave. Perhaps Thranduil and some of the others didn't want to leave his/their home either. There's always a chance that Gildor and his people decided not to sail at the last minute. (Setting can be writer's choice but suggest using http:// lotr. wikia .com /wiki/Europe as a guide.) Format: Drabble set
Genre: Modern AU
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Revealed in the end notes, for those who don't guess.
Pairings: n/a
Creators' Notes (optional): This set of three drabbles is based on a single drabble, “Translator”, posted at great_tales, which in turn is taken from an incomplete and unposted crossover from 2012's B2MeM. It is also part of my “Eucatastrophe” AU, which I will explain more in the end notes.
Summary: Three drabbles—Three of the wise who have lived through the Ages are discomfitted by a recent discovery.
