Title: The Boys of Summer, by Keiliss
Type of Fanwork: Story (Adventure, Drama)
Length (if applicable): 10906 words

Summary: This does not pretend to be the story of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. That is a vast tale of a battle to rival the Battle of the Somme in our own time, with all its moments of terror and heroism (plus dragons, balrogs, and the death of a king). This is just about Gildor, son of Lalwen, and Glorfindel of the House of the Golden Flower (which Gildor assures me sounds better in Quenya) and something of their experience during those six days of horror.

"The Constant Gardener" by tehta, explains why the mound ended up off-limits to Morgoth's people, even though they were the ones who made it.
