Rating: Teens
Warnings: character death.
Characters: Gilmith (half-elven daughter of Imrazor of Dol Amroth and Mithrellas), Maglor
Disclaimer: Gilmith and Maglor are Tolkien's characters; any contact between them is Himring's invention
Author notes: In Himring 'verse, wandering Maglor becomes a kind of found family for Gilmith after the disappearance of her elven mother. After their second encounter, he has agreed to stay with her "for a little while". That little while stretches a bit...

Rating: PG
Warnings: reference to war and politics
Characters: Finarfin, Edhellos (Eldalote, wife of Angrod)
Disclaimer: Tolkien tells us about the resettlement of Tol Eressea, at the end of the First Age, but there is little explanation or detail. Also, we know almost nothing about Angrod's wife. I made her a leader on Tol Eressea.
Summary: After the War of Wrath, a temporary kind of quarantine on Tol Eressea turns into a permanent settlement. This also turns into a chapter in the history of the White Tree.
Author notes: This drabble is also one section of a prompt fill on the subject of trees at the tolkienshortfanworks community ("one section" because I have combined it with an introductory bit of verse for that prompt).

Rating: PG
Warnings: allusion to canonical character deaths
Characters: Fingon, Hurin
Disclaimer: According to Tolkien, these two canonical characters must have talked, but we have no record of any private conversation.
Summary: Fingon, the High King, and Hurin, lord of Dor-lomin, have both suffered grievous loss, but Hurin has recently won a battle for Fingon. A bonding moment.
Author notes: Inspired by the discovery that the canonical bynames of Fingon and Hurin are (probably) etymologically related, although they are not usually rendered in the same way. (Written for a prompt "name".)

Characters : Crebain (references to Saruman and Radagast)
Disclaimer : The crebain are Tolkien's, it was Himring who decided to make one of them a dissident.
Spoilers : The Ring Goes South (FOTR)
Summary : One of the crebain drops out of the hunt for the Fellowship over Hollin. (Apologies: this is unusually long, but it is 7 x 100 words in MS Word, so it should be technically allowable as drabble sequence, I hope. I combined this prompt with another challenge.)
