Eclipse of Reason - Linda Hoyland

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge; Solar Eclipse
Since a partial solar eclipse is happening in parts of Europe, North Africa and a bit further tomorrow morning, I'm wondering how the inhabitants of Middle-earth will react to complete solar eclipse, or what they will make of it. It would be particularly awesome if they were Elves who still carry the memory of the time before sun and moon came into existence.
Format: Short story
Genre: drama
Rating: PG
Warnings: racism
Characters: Aragorn, Arwen, Faramir, OMCS
Pairings: Aragorn/Arwen
Summary: A solar eclipse causes unrest.
A/n: A sequel of sorts to “Circle of Faith” http://lindahoyland.livejournal.com/647176.html
The list of Aragorn's titles is taken from "The Lord of the Rings".
With grateful thanks to my friends on LJ for all their help and suggestions.

"Om Nom Nom Nom" by Amy Fortuna

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Multi-Age: Idioms and translations. (Oh dear.)
Format: Short Story - 2400 words.
Genre: Het, PWP, Comedy, bit Meta as well
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Err, graphic m/f sex and extreme silliness? You might never see a particular lolcat the same way ever again?
Characters: Finrod, Andreth
Pairings: Finrod/Andreth, referenced Aegnor/Andreth, ever-present Finrod/Notebooks
Creators' Notes (optional): I AM SO SORRY. I was going to write a Finrod/Andreth story that managed to replicate the style of the Athrabeth while at the same time showing a plausible way in which Finrod and Andreth could have a relationship. It was going to be awesome. Then I got hopelessly stuck because Andreth would not stop making puns on Finrod's name. Suffice to say this is not the story I intended to write AT ALL WHATSOEVER. (And yet, I regret NOTHING.)
Summary: Finrod is a cunning linguist.
