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: 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.
