Of Elwing's obsession, of Celegorm's hair by liruinielfeanoriel. A retelling of Elwing’s short-lived tragedy, from childhood to the Kinslaying of Sirion, of her obsession with the Silmaril and the strand of Celegorm’s hair that changed the course of Arda’s History.

Out of the Darkling West by Lindariel. Teleporno and Alatáriel arrive in Middle-Earth.
Thorondor's Rescue of Maedhros - Realistic or Not by Grundy. How realistic are Thorondor and the eagles of Manwë? Could eagles of such size actually fly, much less carry people on their backs?
Who is the tallest? More Heat than Light on Height in Tolkien's World by Oshun. I beg your indulgence for this, my entry for the "Solve a problem" challenge. I realize the problem is all mine. Who IS the tallest? Or does it matter? What was Tolkien thinking?
