Silmarillion Fiction

 

 

Now is the time to admit that I am sadly disposed to explore the History of Middle-earth and therefore some of the stories here may be a little on the obscure side.    Of course if you’re reading Silmarillion stories that probably doesn’t bother you

 

 

Interleavings Series 

 

Most of stories below can be read alone, but they are loosely linked by connecting references and a common backdrop

 

Too Long a Winter    Mid-winter at Himring was never going to be all peace and goodwill  

 

No Place of Safety    Gil-galad and Celebrimbor after the fall of Nargothrond

 

Beyond Hope    The sack of Sirion and the workings of the Oath of Fëanor

 

The Days have gone Down  At the very end of the First Age Celebrimbor and Maedhros  discuss Silmarils and leadership

 

A Time to Heal     At the beginning of the Second Age Gil-galad must decide what to do about the surviving Fëanorian followers

 

Heirs of the Past    Gil-galad, Celebrimbor and a ring

 

No Regrets    An Eärendil vignette, exploring why he was fated to sail the skies 

Sequel of sorts to Beyond Hope
