The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien

Many Guises and Many

by gandalfsapprentice

This collection of drabbles and short pieces focuses on Aragorn, the people who knew him, and/or the significance of his life. MEFA 2007: "Clothes Make the Man," First place, Humor, Drabble Some are funny, some are sad; some deal with great events, some are family portraits--but you will not find scenes Tolkien already wrote, such as the coronation or the betrothal at Cerin Amroth. Each drabble or vignette can stand on its own, but taken together they paint a broader portrait of the man. The stories appear in order as they would fall in Aragorn's lifetime.

Elladans Biograph Script

by Darth Fingon

A ridiculous AU in which Rivendell bears a striking resemblance to modern day Calgary, Alberta. Elladan's journal records his daily life, beginning the summer before the Fellowship of the Ring is formed. Implied and non-graphic sexuality, both slash and het. Newest chapter: Haldir is introduced to Thranduil as a potential new best friend, Elrohir winds up in a retirement home for disabled veterans of the Last Alliance, and Elladan poses for campaign photos after being forced into running in the upcoming election.

Tolkien scholars have spent enough time arguing about Legolas' hair color - the author presents the only possible answer! (A parody of Tolkien scholarship that contains actual research. Hopefully funny; at least canon and proofread.)
