Mostly just an excuse to write short, rambling explorations of cultural attitudes and such in Middle-earth. Probably.

Aragorn rests for a time in the Wild, and listens to the stories that the mountain has to tell. Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, when Aragorn is just a young Ranger.

A 30 Day Headcanon Challenge primarily regarding Elrond - his life, his love, his family. From the beginning of his life, even unto the end after the sea has called him home, here are a few snapshots of his life and those in it. Celebrian, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, Aragorn, Elros, Gil-galad, Glorfindel, Erestor, Earendil, and Elwing, among others, will all make an appearance.

It has been five long months since Celebrían was rescued from the Orc den by Elladan and Elrohir.
