  1. Summary

    Each story can be read on its own, they are connected by character and theme, but not by plot.

    Dialogues of Finrod and various characters, all involving philosophy, all at least somewhat alluding to or inspired by "Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth". Focus on metaphysics, not on Aegnor's love life. At various points of Finrod's life(s) and death.

  2. Summary

    OK, so you know how Advent calendars work, right? I imagine it's a known thing, not only for Christians, because every chocholate making company makes them and supermarkets shove them in people's faces. Anyway in case you don't: You have a box with 24 (or whatever amount of days depending on the year) slots, and each day you open the one with the day's date and there's a small treat in there. (Here in Europe they are actually good.)

    So here are 24 small treats for you for December 1st - 24th.

    This is a cross-post from Tumblr, but Ao3 doesn't have scheduling, and I'm not sure if I can post here every day, so I'll upload all of them now and trust you, dear readers, to not eat them all at once.

    Each number is for December [number]th! Or later, of course. I mean, I cannot prevent you from reading them earlier, but… imagine it's a box of chocholades.

    They aren't necessarily 100% consistent with each other or other stuff I wrote, but there are some connections. Mostly canon, some have slight non-canon elements. SFW, some are rated T for Silm-typical violence and doom (or impled offscreen sex), some are pure fluff. Some are dark, some are cozy.

    Lovely (and sad) correspondence between Finrod and Lúthien.

    Summary

    Knowing your enemy is important. Knowing what your enemy knows of you is equally so. Therefore, there is significant strategic merit in covertly observing a five-act musical performance about yourself and your immediate family. For reconnaissance purposes.

    Summary

    Lyrics for the Finrod-zong rock opera given in the original Russian Cyrillic, transliteration, and English translation. It's the Beren and Lúthien story but with a focus on Finrod's part in it.

    Chapter 1 is indexed to the 2014 lyrics; chapter 2 should be accurate for any more recent versions (2022 onward for sure, likely 2019-2021 Finrods as well).

    Socratic dialogues on Death Row, I guess. Or, Finrod and Beren peruse existential questions while they wait for the inevitable.

    Summary

    This night was different. As happened occasionally on the border between sleep and waking, Frodo found himself suddenly dropping. But he did not catch himself with a start, safe on the soft grass of Caras Galadhon. Instead he kept falling; he plummeted through a rushing darkness and in nightmare he saw the shape from more dreadful waking: the black flame of the terror of Moria, Durin’s Bane.
