B2MeM Challenge: “Brown bears, polar bears, were-bears or skin changers, even teddy bears...Any kind of bear counts! “  - Himring

Format: Ficlet

Genre: Humor

Rating: Teens

Warnings: Mature themes

Characters: OCs, Imin, Iminyë

Pairings: OC/OC, Imin/Iminyë

Creators' Notes (optional): The plotbunny for this emerged from an exchange I had with zopyrus in the comments section of her fab story “Exit Pursued By A Bear.” ETA - to clarify, I came up with half the bunny, but Zopyrus came up with the other half and then dared me to write it.

Summary: Upon his waking at Cuiviénen, Morcondil meets the love of his life. Imin is not amused.

"Code Red: A Grey Matter" by Broadbeam, Part 1.a

[greatandgrey]

B2MeM Challenge: Aredhel meets the dwarves for the first time while residing in Nan Elmoth. She receives the biggest surprise when the bearded dwarves all remove their cloaks and coats to reveal that each one of them are women.
Format: chaptered fic
Genre: humor, horror, friendship, zombie AU/Walking Dead fusion
Rating: Teens
Warnings: Gore, violence, body horror, character deaths
Characters: (for Part 1): Aredhel, Eöl, Lúthien, Galadriel, Egalmoth, Idril, Meleth, Wilówë (OC), Morispiní (OC), Nellas, Telchar, six dwarf OCs, and Amras.
Pairings: background Telchar/Delunis (OC), Nellas/Amras
Creator's Notes: There are at least three parts planned: A Grey Matter, White Lies, and Blackout. Unfortunately I only got the first one done for this month. This is meant to be one story, but due to length I have to split it into two parts.

Although I have this set as a Walking Dead fusion, there are homages to other zombie movies.

This story does borrow some of my own headcanon and 'verse stories as depicted in some previous fanworks (such as A Reunion in Dor Dínen), but it's not necessary to read them to understand this fic.

Proof-read by myself, so there may still be typos throughout.
Summary: Aredhel runs across trouble after leaving Gondolin. Luckily, she is prepared.
