Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
My top five favorite fics I've written, in no particular order:
the Heirlooms series - exploring some of the various objects of Middle-earth and attempting to reconcile their various (often incompatible) histories! currently featuring stories about the Elessar, the mithril coat, and the Dwarven Rings; I'm chipping away at a WIP on the blades of Gondolin next :)
"Treasures Most Precious" (Maedhros/Fingon, 13k) - I'm unreasonably proud of the worldbuilding in this fic, and the Fingolfin/Hador subplot is still one of my favorites. I said this list was in no particular order, but if I had ordered it, this might be my #1 personal favorite!
All Things Turn (Tauriel Russingoniel, 52k) - a beast of a story inspired by @welcometolotr's fabulous art concept!!! I'm currently revisting this 'verse for a fic I'm desperately hoping will be complete in time for @weekofkiliel <3
"and caverns old" (Kidnap Fam, 1.7k) - a short fic I wrote for @jaz-the-bard which turned out to have some very fun worldbuilding and delicious character dynamics! I'm quite proud of this one.
kings and things to take by storm (Fëanor/Fingolfin, WIP) - I've been sitting on this one for so long and it has some really great moments that I'm very excited to share!! next update is this Friday :)
some honorable mentions: the Russingon Fake Dating AU; Beneath the Stars (my first real longfic about post-canon Tauriel), "a most faithful vassal" (Russingon fealty kink smut), father of dragons (another Russingon collab with @welcometolotr as part of their First Oath AU); & You with the Stars in Your Eyes (t4t Kiliel Cinderella AU, one of my very first forays into writing trans characters!)
also, my two favorite non-Tolkien fics: "and Love" (The Adventure Zone; arospec Magnus through the ages) & "A Witch's Gift" (Les Mis; post-canon witch!Musichetta) <3
