A/N;I have had this story in my head for a while and BTME inspired me to write it down. I might well expand and revise it in the future.
It will make the story clearer if you have read “East is East” (written for BTME 2 years ago)

B2MeM Challenge: Zeal (Day One) and D (Day Six): “At the top, as high as Gandalf could reach, was an arch of interlacing letters in an Elvish character. Below, though the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a hammer surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in the middle of the door a single star with many rays.”
Format: drabble
Genre: gen
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Characters: Celebrimbor
Pairings: none
Summary: Celebrimbor makes a symbolic decision.

Inspired by thinking that if Celebrimbor was using the Star of the House of Fëanor as a sigil in the Second Age and put it in such a conspicuous place as the Doors of Moria, his feelings toward his father’s family cannot have been unambiguous rejection.

B2MeM Challenge: Wisdom.
"And this the Valar did, desiring to amend the errors of old, especially that they had attempted to guard and seclude the Eldar by their own might and glory fully revealed; whereas now their emissaries were forbidden to reveal themselves in forms of majesty, or to seek to rule the wills of Men and Elves by open display of power, but coming in shapes weak and humble were bidden to advise and persuade Men and Elves to good, and to seek to unite in love and understanding all those whom Sauron, should he come again, would endeavour to dominate and corrupt."

B2MeM Challenge: Vanity

“"He it was that now rode out, and with him came only a small company of black-harnessed soldiery, and a single banner, black but bearing on it in red the Evil Eye. Now halting a few paces before the Captains of the West he looked them up and down and laughed.

'Is there anyone in this rout with authority to treat with me?' he asked. 'Or indeed with wit to understand me? Not thou at least!' he mocked, turning to Aragorn with scorn. 'It needs more to make a king than a piece of elvish glass, or a rabble such as this. Why, any brigand of the hills can show as good a following!'"

"And last of all the mounting wave, green and cold and plumed with foam, climbing over the land, took to its bosom Tar-Míriel the Queen, fairer than silver or ivory or pearls. Too late she strove to ascend the steep ways of the Meneltarma to the holy place; for the waters overtook her, and her cry was lost in the roaring of the wind."

Summary: Lotho's thoughts as he leaves The Party…
Quote: Third Age: "There was a specially large pavilion, so big that the tree that grew in the field was right inside it, and stood proudly near one end, at the head of the chief table. Lanterns were hung on all its branches. More promising still (to the hobbits' mind): an enormous open-air kitchen was erected in the north corner of the field."

B2MeM Challenge: Quest
“He spoke then in a great voice the Oath of Eorl. This he said in the tongue of the Éothéod, which in the Common Speech is interpreted:
Hear now all peoples who bow not to the Shadow in the East, by the gift of the Lord of the Mundburg we will come to dwell in the land that he names Calenardhon, and therefore I vow in my own name and on behalf of the Éothéod of the North that between us and the Great People of the West there shall be friendship for ever: their enemies shall be our enemies, their need shall be our need, and whatsoever evil, or threat, or assault may come upon them we will aid them to the utmost end of our strength. This vow shall descend to my heirs, all such as may come after me in our new land, and let them keep it in faith unbroken, lest the Shadow fall upon them and they become accursed."

B2MeM Challenge: Day 1: Prompt: Friendship
Format: Short Story
Genre: Romance
Rating: R
Warnings: Fluff, Slash
Characters: Maedhros, Fingon, Feanor, Nerdanel
Pairings: Maedhros/Fingon
Summary: Maedhros and Fingon were close as youngsters, but will they remain close friends when they grow older and their lives change with the events to come as laid out in the Quenta Silmarillion?

Chapter One

Fingon’s pursuit of Maedhros began almost as soon as he first set eyes on his redheaded cousin. Even as a boy he sensed an unusual attraction to his cousin who was also his best friend. Unsure whether it was the flaming hair that once had caught his gaze attracted him ever after, or if it was Maedhros’ mercurial nature that kept him always off-balance, he questioned himself constantly whether he might be pursuing a lost cause. Maedhros was a known womanizer, changing one young lady for the next as often as he changed his clothes, only to discard all in the end. But for Fingon the pursuit itself was too tantalizing, the anticipated reward too sweet, to allow him to stop.

B2MeM Challenge: Overcoming Obstacles

'Yes,' said Gandalf. 'I never told him, but its worth was greater than the value of the whole Shire and everything in it.'

Frodo said nothing, but he put his hand under his tunic and touched the rings of his mail-shirt. He felt staggered to think that he had been walking about with the price of the Shire under his jacket. Had Bilbo known? He felt no doubt that Bilbo knew quite well. It was indeed a kingly gift."
