Summary
The children of Aragorn Elessar and Arwen Undómiel vanished on the very night when darkness besieged the city. An ancient and potent light, sudden and without warning, struck them and cast them far back into the past, to a time before the War of the Ring had even begun. None among them knows what befell them, nor that the others endured the same fate.
They were sent forth to guide those who would shape the future: to forestall impending dangers, to safeguard that which must endure, and to share their knowledge. Their mission is clear: guide and tell. To protect those destined to survive and to die, to illuminate the uncertain, and to buy precious time for the world.
Yet so long as they remain scattered, the curse holds them fast, and none recall that they ever existed.
One awakens beneath a luminous canopy, where leaves glisten like gold. Another treads across plains swept by an ancient wind, whispering forgotten tales. The third finds shelter amidst tranquil hills and discreet inhabitants. The last walks alongside a man whose destiny remains yet veiled.
A long journey is awaiting them.

Summary
At last Fingolfin freed himself, for though Fëanor was the stronger of the two, he was the better fighter. “Why would I go anywhere with you?”
“Would you or would you not take the thing that’s killed our grandson and grind it into a bloody pulp beneath your boot?”
“I think I like Tuor.”
“Þauron,” Fëanor clarified. “Decide now or I go alone.”

Summary
Two wanderers came to the valley.
One was clothed in gray robes, not exactly old, but clearly not new. He had a beard that looked funny, all long and tangled. There were a few leaves pointing out from among the silvery hair. Who knows, maybe there would also be a bird or a squirrel here if someone would dare to check. -

Summary
Alice Hare is a good girl.
A graduate in search of a job.She lives with her loving but overbearing parents, letting her mother steer every decision, drifting between coffee dates and job interviews, and avoiding conflict by smoothing everything over with small lies and compliance.
When a high-stakes interview at the SYSFinity Industries finally seems to promise a way forward, Alice faints on the street afterwards and wakes up in God knows where. The man she sees, the woodsman, who chases and captures her, marches her through the wilderness under threat and in the next breath, she comes to again on hot city asphalt.
How deep does the rabbit hole go?

Summary
In the months after the war is over, she starts to have strange dreams. The kinds which only become more vivid as time goes on – until one night they’re not just dreams.
The truth is both simple and yet incredibly hard to believe: there is no such thing as Outer Sakura and Inner Sakura, rather there has always only been, and will only ever be one Sakura, just with something else latched to her mind.
And it’s not her who’s Haruno Sakura.

Summary
As the shadow of Sauron lengthens at the twilight of the Second Age, the Elven realms forge alliances in the oldest way: through marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his children to secure the future - his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to the legendary Glorfindel, and his son to Thranduil's line. But duty cannot command the heart. Meríliel finds herself drawn to Prince Legolas, and their choices will echo through centuries, haunted by pride, loyalty and tragedy.
This tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and redemption is woven into Tolkien's canon and Jackson’s movies while expanding cultural and linguistic aspects. Grounded in Tolkien's works with original lore to bridge events, the story explores the very same milestones sung about in the Third Age, the ones we only get a glimpse of in the movies.
Characters mature, change, and their arcs develop within an infuriating slow burn that tests their love and loyalty, as well as customs and traditions; this isn't just about memories shaping attitudes, but about WHAT actually happened, and WHEN.
👉 Current update: The War of the Last Alliance was INSANE; we've just started with the Third Age and it’s filled with elflings! I hope you enjoy the ride!
