One Last Analysis For The Road by Tathrin
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
11 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Han Solo has never been as much of a cynic as he likes to pretend he is. C-3PO has known this for a long time. But the line between hope and folly is both a short and a wide one, and it's so easy for despair to fill that gap, especially when those hopes go unrealized for so long.
And in a galaxy of billions of sentients, the odds of finding a single lost child are worse than those of successfully navigating an asteroid field—but what is Star Wars, if not a story of chasing impossible hopes?

Tracing Back Old Paths by Tathrin for Chthonion

29 Oct 2025

Summary
Maedhros has returned to life in the Fourth Age of Arda, but the past haunts him with reveries of what might have been and ruminations of the things instead that were. Hope comes in the form of a Hobbit bearing messages from the Lord of the Rings.
Or: Maedhros looks at maps and angsts about what-ifs.
Inspired by Chthonion's The Harrowing. -

Summary
A smattering of snippets set throughout the (im)mortal lives of the remaining members of the Fellowship on the other side of the Sundering Sea.
"Have your thoughts settled enough that you might share them now?" Legolas asked. "Or must you sift them further yet?"
Gimli sighed. "You are using dwarven metaphors again, my dear. If you do that in front of the elves of Tirion too much, they will start to think you odd."
"If the elves of Tirion have not yet started to think me strange already, then it is only because we have not yet spent much time in Tirion," Legolas retorted

Dead Faces in the Water; Dead Faces Everywhere by Tathrin

Summary
The Dead are walking across Middle-earth. With the palantir-network down, there is no way to warn the world of the danger that is lurching out of its shadows save by carrying the news out by hand. Imladris Hospital has failed to find a cure. Mirkwood is burning, and Gondor rots from within. A desperate company of Elves, Men, and Dwarves strike-out across the shadowed land to seek answers from the lore-masters of Lothlórien, but the journey there will prove darker and more perilous than any could have foreseen. Will they live long enough to save their homelands? Or will they die…and Rise again?
Or: a zombie apocalypse story set in a modernized high fantasy version of Middle-earth starring some familiar faces in a very different war against the dark and the dead.

The One Where They Start A GSA by Tathrin for elenorasweet
Fandoms: Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate
31 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
In a world where no one ends up nothlited on their very first mission, the Animorphs endure the war with just a smidgen less mental damage—and a little more time for some self-reflection, and the attendant identity-realizations thus enabled. But the Yeerks aren't pulling any punches and when The Sharing changes tactics, the Animorphs have to as well—by founding their high school's first GSA Club.

Summary
Stories featuring Legolas and Gimli, set within the bounds and confines of canon. They have been assembled here in chronological order although they do not necessarily all exist within the same continuity or abide by the same internal canon or sequence of events; but they are all stories that could, and might, take place within the canonical Legendarium. Because I think we can all agree that it is indeed time to say more on this matter.

Don't Look Back (Won't Look Away) by Tathrin
Fandom The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
02 Oct 2023
Summary
A reprise in three acts of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth as enacted by Legolas and Gimli in the Undying Lands; or, a reflection on how being less wise (and more dangerous) than other elves can serve one well, when one cannot bear to abide by the accepted rules of the world. Whoever said that the Gift of Men had to be a Doom of Dwarves, too?

A Splash of Blue: Fragments of Memory by Tathrin
Fandom Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate
26 Oct 2023
Summary
When the Ellimist took Elfangor away to resume the war against the Yeerks, he took Loren's memories too. But some things cannot be forgotten, not completely, not ever. How would the war change for the Animorphs if the first human to ever meet an Andalite was on their side, too? How much does the heart remember when the head forgets...and how much of a difference would those memories make in Earth's fight for freedom?

King of Green, King of Gold by Tathrin
Fandom The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
09 Sep 2023
Summary
An exploration of a version of the Legendarium where Thranduil's unnamed spouse and Legolas's second parent is Finrod Felagund — an idea that, absurd as it seems on the surface, actually fits surprisingly well with canon. Originally inspired by this post on tumblr, with additional brainstorming found here. A ridiculous possibility, yes; but one that has been surprisingly fun to approach seriously. Also, see: Beginnings by Zhie.

A Legendary Sequel Trilogy by Tathrin
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games), Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars: New Republic Era - All Media Types
12 Dec 2021
Summary
What if the Sequel Trilogy had been written by someone who knew and loved the Expanded Universe and wanted to preserve the essence of those stories while still creating something new, something that could be loved and appreciated by longtime fans and newcomers alike? The resulting films might have looked something a little like this...
