Roots and Beginnings, by Kaylee Arafinwiel

B2MeM Prompt: "He was interested in roots and beginnings..."
Format: ficlet
Genre: gen
Rating: PG-13 for mention of violence
Warnings:
Characters: OC elves, Legolas, Aragorn II, Gandalf, Pippin (Mentions of Feanor and Fingolfin. Gimli, Frodo, Sam, and Merry are also present)
Pairings: OC/OC, though not really explored
Creator’s Notes (optional): For B2MEM, the first prompt was "He was interested in roots and beginnings..." OC names are taken from the realelvish.net randomizer, first lines, last lines, canon beginning and canon ending from SWG's randomizer. That's a lot to make sense of...hopefully I succeeded.
Summary: A gem-crafter of Imladris, prompted by a group of enthusiastic elflings, tries to tell the story of the most famous gems in all of Arda. May or may not be complete...

Shrieking Birds by Nienna324

B2MeM Card, Prompt, and Number: I25; Symbolism
Format: Ficlet (119 words)
Genre: Gen
Rating: G
Warnings: N/A
Characters: Galadriel, Melian (mentioned)
Pairings: N/A
Creator’s Notes: Though it is never outright mentioned in canon, Galadriel must have gone to the Gardens of Lórien, or else she wouldn’t have based her realm off of them. And, knowing this, there is no reason to believe she wouldn’t have at least vaguely known Melian before coming to Middle-earth. (Except that I think Melian left before Galadriel’s time. But I am realizing this just now as I write the Creator’s Notes, so that is probably an error in my writing.) Also, I sort of stole my (heavy-handed) symbolism from Julia Holter, who sort of “stole” it from Etel Adnan.
Summary: Galadriel comes to the Garden’s of Lórien to escape the tension of the rest of Valinor. But todag the Gardens are not as peaceful as she had hoped.

Format: Ficlet
Genre: gapfiller,
Rating: Teens
Warnings: canon-typical violence

Then when I started writing, I got derailed by thinking to much about Carcharoth, and this happened.

Format: ficlet, missing scene
Genre: drama, family
Rating: PG-13 for mention of offscreen Kinslaying
Warnings:
Characters: Celeborn, Galadriel
Pairings: Celeborn/Galadriel
Creator’s Notes (optional): This is essentially a "missing scene" from my best friend/usual co-author AfricanDaisy's "With Joyful Ring". OCs are ours. https://archiveofourown.org/works/16915254/chapters/39741054 She has given me permission to post this story (my gift to her) and to link hers. In brief, Oropher and his brother Vehiron are the sons of Celeborn's first cousin Celepharn, who died in the Fall of Doriath. Felith is Oropher's future wife and Thranduil's mother, but at this point she is a commoner, a weaver, and her grandfather's ward; he doesn't approve of Lord Oropher trying to court her.
Summary: After dealing with Oropher and Vehiron's misbehaviour and grief, and hearing Oropher's anger at Master Alfirindir out, Celeborn goes for a walk on the beach to collect his thoughts. But he's not as alone as he thinks, and the Lord of the Sindar doesn't have to be strong for everyone...
