B2MeM Challenge:Eldarion, possibly other Gondorians - baby's first armour
This ridonkulously cute photo of a kid cosplaying a young Eldarion is making the rounds over at Tumblr:

http://marta-fandom.tumblr.com/post/114847236279/eldarion

and I thought it would make for some interesting fic. What did Eldarion, his proud parents, or anyone else think of this finery? Is it new, or is it inherited from somewhere? What did Arwen think about seeing her child wearing the Evenstar, which neither waxed nor waned? What of the craftsmen who made it? I'd love to see what people make of different aspects of this post, and would welcome either an Eldarion-centric piece or something about other Gondorians' reactions.

Format: short story
Genre: Family, humour
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Aragorn, Arwen, Eldarion, OMC, OFC
Pairings: Aragorn/Arwen
Summary: Eldarion has his portrait painted.

"Where Time Can Never Heal" by Amy Fortuna

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: General Prompts: weather plays a large role in a story, rainy day activities, etc.
Format: Short Story - 2200 words.
Genre: Slash, Hurt/Comfort, Angst
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Incest, graphic sex
Characters: Maedhros, Maglor
Pairings: Maglor/Maedhros, past Fingon/Maedhros
Creators' Notes: Also inspired by a prompt on the Silmarillion Kink Meme, and 'Trail Of Broken Hearts' by Dragonforce (which is 100% about Maedhros & Maglor, no one can convince me otherwise). There's also a bit inspired by someone's post, can't remember where or whose, about the ambiguity of having two characters who could both conceivably be nicknamed 'Kano' and how that could lead to accidental incest.
Summary: Post-Nirnaeth, Maedhros is completely broken, and Maglor tries to comfort him.
