B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: G50, Echoes in the Water, Talents and Skills, Language of Flowers, Snippets of Verse
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...

Format: ficlet
Genre: adventure
Rating: PG
Warnings: use of "ye old English language" as Emma calls it, and hopefully correctly
Characters: Olwe, Finwe, Ulmo, mention of Osse
Pairings:
Creator’s Notes (optional): Er...I disclaim the short bit of song lyrics directly after the line of asterisks; it's from one of my favourite recent Disney movies and ought to be recognizable (especially given the title of this story, which I also disclaim). But it's just so Olwe, don't you think?
Summary: A very young Olwe, on the shores of Cuivienen, feels the song in his heart calling him to adventure. His best friend Finwe thinks he's gone mad. But he's sure there's SOMETHING more out there...

Format: poem, ficlet
Genre: family
Rating: PG
Warnings: parental abandonment
Characters: Zamin, Ancalime, Aldarion, Erendis

Creator’s Notes (optional): I read the story of Aldarion and Erendis here: http://depts.washington.edu/uwch/documents/articles/Aldarion%20and%20Erendis.PDF in case you're unfamiliar. I'm not sure "rolling stone" is quite the right term for Aldarion, so I took some liberties with it for my story title.
Summary: With the King's Heir gone from Numenor these three years, the folk of Erendis' household worry for their lady and her daughter - Aldarion's own heir.

Creator’s Notes (optional): This follows on from both "And Day Brought Back My Night" and "Urgent Summons" (which itself followed from "Perhaps the Greater"). All these were written for B2MEM this year quite recently and are posted here. Title is a reference to "On The Banks of the Anduin", yet another recent-ish B2MEM of mine but shouldn't be confused with it.
Summary: Frodo-lad spends some time outside, watching over his younger siblings and conversing with his older sister before the latter begins her journey with their parents to Gondor.

B2MeM Challenge: 2015, Elfhelm's Fine Saddles,

lindahoyland said;

Eomer and Lothíriel have a son, Elfwine the Fair, who must be about Eldarion's age. With a name like that, I bet he's a hellion - he'd have to be, wouldn't he? - doubtless with mad equestrian skillz.

This may not have quite gone where she expected it to...

But it also fits 2012 bingo cards - Talents and skill, G46 - writing.

Format: short story - 1515 words
Genre: General
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Characters: Elfwine, mention of his family members and OFC,

Creators' Notes; this is set in the same 'verse' as my Éomer/Lothíriel story 'Cushions', some 20 years after the closing scene.

Eledu used with permission from Lalaith Raina.
