Summary
"Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, but they failed to find the strength."
They find the strength.

Summary
The Force Bond won't quit. Obviously, whatever it is the Force expects from Rey and Kylo isn't done, not yet. Why? What does it need them to do?
Reylo, smut (eventually), great ponderings of the nature of power and the Force. Basically, if space wizards wrestling with good and evil (occasionally with each other, and naked) sparks your jollies, this one'll be for you.

The Most Valuable Resource by HerenorThereNearnorFar
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
02 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
The children of elves die easily, for their souls are thinly bound to their bodies and their fate is to endure but not survive. So when faced with a young hostage he really can't afford to let fade away, Sauron is very careful not to do anything too traumatizing.
(Mostly.)
Luckily Feanor's grandson is an interesting child to babysit.

Summary
Darth Vader dies in the arms of his son, having killed his master and gone back to the light side of the Force.
And then he wakes up, finding himself on a little primitive planet that hasn't even achieved interstellar travel, where the government is corrupt and the heroes are ineffective, in a city that could almost be called a hive of scum and villainy, dominated by a gang that calls itself the Empire 88 and another that practices slavery.
He wants to be better, he wants to overcome his past, but damn, the city REALLY isn't making it easy for him.
Sometimes, a former Sith Lord just wants to force-choke a bi...

Mellon Chronicles Series - COMPLETE by mellon_chronicles
Fandom Lord of the Rings - Fandom, The Lord of the Rings (Movies), The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
08 Jan 2015
Summary
MY PURPOSE , now complete, is to archive the epic series the Mellon Chronicles for readers to continue to enjoy. I do not claim authorship or ownership of any work in the Mellon Chronicles - that belongs to Cassia and Siobhan, and to Tolkien.
As readers may be aware, the original site at which the Chronicles were archived (aragorn-legolas.5u.com) has ceased to exist. I retrieved the all the stories from the online web archive Wayback Machine but I am unsure how much longer they will be available there either. So I am planning on re-posting them all here, in an effort to prevent them from disappearing from the internet altogether. There may be other sites where the works are also archived, but I could not find any from Googling.
In the series, you can find all of the stories in chronological order (that is to say, the order in which they appear in their entirety, not the order in which they were written).
If you appreciate being able to read the Mellon Chronicles here and, like me, do not want them to be lost, please comment and let me know. Thank you to everyone who has already done so, it makes me very happy to know that I'm not the only person who still remembers and enjoys these stories :)

Bookmarker's Notes
Beauty. Like Nienna, this tale brings a resolution of beauty into the most sorrowful parts of the silmarilian. So satisfying but in a way that touches on every depth of emotion Tolkien played with. I think he would love it

Wheel of Time Coming to a Close (an extended ending to the Wheel of Time) by Xennial
Fandoms: Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
06 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
Did you finish the Wheel of Time and felt grateful that it had been completed (thanks Brian Sanderson) but also that there were hanging storylines that never got completely addressed? Then this is the fanfiction for you! There were several plot lines that I felt were set up for closure that were never brought to finality, like the Aiel and the Tuatha'an and their connection. Then there was the random stuff, like that metal spike and that old woman Aviendha meets in the desert. This all gets wrapped up into a story line where the Dragon's Accord, drawn up under duress, is in danger.
I wrote most of this immediately after completing the series a few years back, and recently revisited the books to fill in the gaps that were left. Now it is finished, and ties up several loose ends from the story.
5/1/2022 I am making some minor edits over time, but the overall story will remain unchanged.

The Tides of War by Minubell
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
01 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
Ar-Pharazon expects an army. He expects a fight, the sort of battle to be immortalized in tapestries and stonework for all time. A grand affair to prove the might of Numenor, and show their triumph where all others have failed.
What he does not expect, is for the so-called King of Kings to emerge from his towers of stone and iron, unarmored and armed with only a pleasant smile. “My armies have fled,” He informs them all plainly. “It seems I have no choice but to surrender myself into your mercy, Ar-Pharazon the Golden.”
…Huh?
—
A retelling of Mairon’s time in Numenor, in which he realized that:
1) Taking over the world requires a lot of paperwork, actually
2) If someone else is in charge, they have to do it.Series
