Where to now?
It's my birthday, and my 1k event is long overdue...
So, here we go! I shall give you a choice, and you decide. Every week, I will post a new chapter based on the choice of the previous week :D
You wake up, disoriented, on a slab of cold, uncomfortable stone.
Looking down at your tingling hands, you realise that you’re shockingly naked, and you half expect to start spinning against your volition like the tiny, animated characters in the games you so love.
With a heavy sigh, you scan your surroundings—all you can make out in the ominous, greyish chiaroscuro is a heavy door.
Naturally, you’re left with no other valid choice than to open it, and, as soon as it swings open with an atmospheric creak, you realise that you’re at the bottom of a valley from which several paths lead up.
Where will you go now?

BBB - Melkor
Favourite Pairing: Melkor x OMC, Melkor & Manwë
Nominated by: @chrissystriped
Art Link: Melkor x Mablung (OC)
Fic Link: Brothers, close again
Ah, @chrissystriped has submitted a character I also love more than I should :D
Please check out their AU which is very near and dear to their heart. Melkor (villain though he is) is very beloved by many people, so give three hoorays for the Dark Lord!
In this art, we also discover an exciting male OC who is part of the AU from what I can gather! Definitely recommend this to all the OC lovers out there!
Woop woop!

Stay tuned for more recs, more blorbos, and the odd surprise!

WOOOOO ANOTHER HAPPY RUSSINGON THING TODAY???
It really is my happy day LOL I love it!!! I ADORE THIS!!!
Ah, my sweet boys...what misery awaits you! But not yet, not now!
I hope they got their private dinner, and I sure pray it was worth it and shall keep them warm for many many many years to come!
Day 3 ~ Family & Loyalty
𓂃🖋 Characters/pairings: Fingon x Maedhros
𓂃🖋 Synopsis: After a recent clash of their fathers at a family get-together, Maedhros and Fingon attempt to navigate politics and personal relationships alike through letters.
𓂃🖋 Warnings: /
𓂃🖋 Oneshot (~700 words) | AO3
Finno,
I just wanted to say that I am sorry for what transpired at the recent family get-together.
Whereas I, as you know, ask not to be judged for each and every deed and word done and said by my father and my brothers — who can at times be rash and harsh — and I know you are not in the habit of judging an entire group by the actions of few, I feel the need to clarify that I do not stand behind what my father said to Uncle Nolofinwë.
I have no less love for my kin (and for you in particular) because our fathers have different mothers and I do not see you as a mere half of something whole. It saddens me that my father fails to see love and kinship within his siblings, nieces and nephews.
Perhaps you are disappointed that I didn't speak out against him, and I will admit that I lacked the courage to do so. I love my father dearly, as you will understand in spite of whichever feelings you harbour regarding him, and his favour is easier lost than it is given. Know that I never expect you to speak out against Uncle Nolofinwë either, even though such an assertion may seem needless at this time, given that you desire to forge and maintain bonds with your kin, as is he.
Know that no matter what my father says and how he feels, my love and friendship is true, and I desire to be in your presence if you will have me still.
Yours truly,
Russandol
Russo,
you need not apologise for the actions of others, and I doubt neither your conviction nor your loyalty. You have my love always; rest assured of that.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your words. I was meaning to write a letter to you as well, though you have once again beaten me to it. Worry not, the matters you discussed were hardly even on my mind; I moreso wished to ask if you would like to join me for another dinner sometime. Just the two of us, no family. Consider it a do-over if you will — though you may also consider it something else entirely. Something unrelated to family relations and obligations, only about us two.
I eagerly await your response.
Yours truly,
Findekáno
My dearest Finno,
I thank you for your response and your understanding. The thought of losing you over a dispute between our fathers pained me and was quite dreadful, so I shall not dwell on such matters any longer, for as long as they are of no concern to us.
I would love to have dinner with you, just us as you suggested. Moreover I would love to invite you here, however I am painfully aware of my brothers' tendency to snoop and gossip — remember the time Tyelkormo read my journal? — and my father's current mood, so if I may be so bold, I would suggest meeting up elsewhere. Maybe even away from Uncle Nolofinwë; while I would never presume any ill will toward me on his part, it may be better for both of us to keep this private. For a while at least.
Father used to tell stories about meeting Mother outside of Tirion and going on journeys together. Would you be interested in that?
Let me know what you think.
With love,
Russandol
My dearest Russo,
as much as it pains me to say so, I agree that we should keep the details of our relationship more private for the time being and wait until the familial storm has blown over — though, if you permit such a comment, Uncle Fëanáro does not seem too keen on that happening any time time soon. I can only hope he changes his mind.
If you like, meet me on the 17th day of Víressë, at the western gates of Tirion during the mingling of the Trees. We can find a quiet place outside the city and talk to our heart's content, and I shall bring some snacks as well.
I am looking forward to seeing you again, dearest Russo.
With love,
Findekáno
Thanks for reading! ♡
Víressë - April. Yes, the date is today ^^

Did...did Bird read smut??? Did he stumble upon the pwp? Oh delicious.
I love that. Tell me more!!!!
Matryoshka Meet & Greet Challenge
✍ Prompt: Reading a good book | Eönwë
✍ Synopsis: Eönwë tries out his lord's romantic poetry.
✍ Warnings: Innuendo
✍ Drabble
✍ SWG archive
The Elder King's poetry was most renowned in the land of Valinor, particularly those poems written out of love for his queen. Beautiful, touching, endlessly moving; that was what many had said.
Eönwë clutched the book he was holding, blushing furiously. He had intended to experience his lord's romantic poems for himself, yet while the writing he beheld now certainly described acts of love, it was love of a different kind than what he had been looking for.
It occurred to him then that he might have taken the wrong book.
Even so, it undeniably was quite an enjoyable read.
Thanks for reading! ♡

Gonna be real with you for a sec here.
2024 has been and continues to be an awful year full of stress, anxiety and just more and more stuff going wrong.
I really don't know how I'd keep going without fandom, the blorbos, my writing and all my online friends so... um... just... thank you. For everything❤️

BBB - Glorestor
Favourite Pairing: Erestor x Glorfindel
Nominated by: @sortumavaara
Art Link: (Beware NSFW)
Fic Link: Bureaucratic outcomes & oversights
Unsurprisingly, @sortumavaara has submitted Glorestor.
A still very popular pairing that pops up invariably in every event, Glorestor is an all-time goldie, ranging from sunshine/grump dynamics to more ambiguous interrogations about class, life, and justice.
Even I have not been able to steer clear of it :D (which is mainly due to Sortuma's charm :D)
As for @sortumavaara themselves...a wicked, inspiring, and absolutely adorable art-gremlin whose immense creativity and sharp humour make every collaboration an adventure.
Commissions are generally open (and absolutely worth it!)
-> Fiverr ⎢ Kofi
-> Masterlist
Stay tuned for more recs, more blorbos, and the odd surprise!
