Rating : PG13
Characters : Nienna, Thuringwethil
Disclaimer : The characters are Tolkien's, and so are the bat wings.
Spoilers : None
Summary : In The Book of Lost Tales, Fui Nienna's hall is roofed with bats' wings. In later canon, it is a certain other female character who is associated with bat wings. There can be no connection, though, surely? (Not as cracky as the title makes it sound.)

Title : A Halt in a Long Voyage
Author : Himring
Fandom/Source : Silmarillion, History of Middle-earth
Rating : PG
Characters : Tuor, Idril and other elves
Disclaimer : The characters are all Tolkien's. The idea that Tuor became something like the Flying Dutchman was one that Tolkien had pondered at one point but probably entirely discarded. So there was no need to write a fix-it (of sorts), but I wrote one anyway.
Spoilers/Warnings : mild angst (also, present tense)
Summary: Tuor and Idril must go on voyaging on Earrame forever. But their friends on Tol Eressea find a way to help them deal with it.
