Summary:

Maglor agrees to appear in a student production of The Pirates of Penzance, and gets more than he bargained for.  

A shameless love letter to my alma mater, to student life, to Maglor (of course), and to the joy of friendship in unexpected places.

This was always very incomplete and is basically just a snapshot taken in 2010/2011, but I thought it might interest some Maedhros fans out there.

Recommender's comments: One of my favourite writers and friends, Zoe Perdita, is currently writing a smutty fic between Thranduil and Bard. It's got a very cute storyline, too, and she's told me that a lot of sexy time is to follow, which in my opinion only makes me like it even more. Very well-written super angsty, I thought you'd perhaps enjoy it :-)

A beautiful romance between Gildor Inglorion and Haldir of Lorien... Difficult characters, painful pasts, promises made long ago and wishes made not entirely from the heart complicate matters. The story has a sequel named "If You Go Away" and I truly recommend you reading that one too even though the story has a happy end in the first part already. All the angst and drama is simply too awesome to miss out on! 

(Also, this story features what is possibly my favorite characterization of Thranduil ever. And if you ever thought of him in a tub full of wine, do read this.)

Recommender's comments: A rather unusual take on modern characters in first age middle-earth, also one of the few that i've come across that have done this very well. The humour and individual personalities of the OC's and Tolkien characters will make it hard to stop reading, there is also a good romance twist to this story with OFC/Eonwe which works well in a wonderful way! This is still one of my favorite fanfiction s and one that i have re-read many times

Recommender's comments: The utter and completely unexpected awesomeness of this story hit me like lightning. It's about the most surprising crossover I've ever seen, and it's not half as cracky as it looks. It will coax a good laugh from anyone, that's for sure... but it's also really silm canon complaint (for as far as crossovers go) and it has quite a few really touching and insightful moments.
If you ever wondered what it would be like to drop the darkest of dark lords into the happiest place of the multiverse, disguised as a sarcastic white pony... then this is your read! Also, there are cameos of all Morgoth's "favorite" enemies, who get to happily watch everything from the Halls of Mandos...
(little note; the "sil-MARE-illion" spelling in the title is on purpose.)

Recommender's comments: This is an amazing AU, addictive like a soap series and at least as dramatic!
"The Fire Dance" is mostly centered around Glorfindel and Erestor, but in fact it gives us a peak in the lives of all our favorite elves, who are conveniently heaped together in Imladris for the sake of storyline.

There is loads and loads of slash to be had, MPreg in all sorts and sizes, old traumas, lost loves, feuds unsolved, cultural differences, and a heap of Valar with odd habits to finish it off! This story combines beautifully as many genres as you can think of without coming over as unnatural; it's one of the best I've ever read.

To entice any future readers: ever wanted to see Elrond in a dress, or Child!Namo involved in a food-fight? xD
As you may suspect, this is as AU as it gets... but I promise you that it's worth it, and once you start reading you'll get sucked into the story right away!

Summary: Very Much AU, also containing mild slash. Thranduil maneuvers to have an unwilling Legolas marry Elrond. Not your usual slash: I write stories with intimacy, not heavy sex. If this flavor of tea offends you, please leave the pot for others to enjoy.

Summary:

Master list of a review re-post project on LiveJournal I completed in January 2013, which doubles as a list of Silm fic recs.
I re-posted one of my longer reviews per author. The earliest of these reviews are from the MEFAs in 2010, which means that the work reviewed is all fairly recent. The selection is rather idiosyncratic and a couple of the stories are perhaps only marginally Silm fic, but I can vouch for it that the stories are all excellent!

As his father rides to defend his small fiefdom, Maeglin creates beauty. Silmarillion oneshot.

Recommended by: Urloth
Recommender's comments:

As said by the author: featuring a Maeglin who is not yet evil or crazed, and a father who loves him.

Becuase the popular fanon of unloved-father issue Maeglin can get to be a bit much. A beautiful introspective piece about Maeglin and what his life might have been like in Nan Elmoth growing up.

I like this version of Maeglin. I'm sticking with him.
