Stories, with links to the SWG Archive
Date: 2014-12-14 06:16 pm (UTC)How the East Was Won, by pandemonium_213
Type of Fanwork: Story (drama, science fiction)
Length (if applicable):
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Expletive Language, Mature Themes, Violence--Moderate
Summary: During the earliest years of the Second Age, Melkor’s great lieutenant puts the destruction of Beleriand behind him and travels to the East...with a plan.
Additional info: MEFA 2010 Winner. First Place; Races: Villains: General. One of a whole series of considered and well-thought-out stories about Sauron in the Second and Third Age. Do also look out for the stories about Celebrimbor in Eregion.
Title: The Night the Sea Came In, by Keiliss
Type of Fanwork: Story (Adventure, Drama, Romance)
Length (if applicable): 10057 words
Rating: Teens
Warnings: none
Summary: After Beleriand is broken and drowned, the elves on Balar have little choice but to set out in search of a safe haven. Prophecy by Galadriel, leadership by Gil-galad and Cirdan, music by Lindir, off-screen lunacy by Erestor and Gildor.
Additional info: One of a series of excellent stories centering on Gil-galad--and later Glorfindel and Elrond as well. Look out also for the epic Burning Bright (WIP). Note: Keiliss's stories are not all set in the same verse.
Title: Chasing Mirages, by Russandol
Type of Fanwork: Story (Adventure, Drama, Slash/Femslash)
Length (if applicable): 170853 words
Rating: Adult
Warnings: ***Rape/Non-consensual Sex, ***Torture, Character Death, Expletive Language, Mature Themes, Sexual Content--Graphic, Violence--Graphic
Summary: The story of Eönwë, Maia of Manwë, and Mairon Aulendil after the War of Wrath. A tale of darkness, light, love and betrayal over the Ages of Eä.
Tolkien simply told us that [Sauron] fell back into evil, for the bonds that Morgoth had laid upon him were very strong. But this line is unsatisfactory in so many levels that it became a challenge to create a plausible background story for Sauron's fall, from the time Eönwë returns to Aman to face the Valar over his decision to free one of Morgoth's most dreaded minions to Sauron's final fate, long after the destruction of the Ring.
Additional info: Not for the faint of heart, but epic in scope and powerfully told. MEFA 2011 1st Place - Incomplete: Drama & Smaug's Treasure (but completed since then)
Title: Crowns of Holly, by Kitt Otter
Type of Fanwork: Story (General)
Length (if applicable): 3415 words

Summary: : Gil-galad and Círdan attend mid-summer festivities in Eregion. An unwelcome guest crashes the party.
Additional info: Recent: B2MeM 2014. Part of a series featuring Kitt Otter's appealing take on Cirdan.

Summary: [...] So I guess you know what this is about, a post-War of wrath scene, when Sauron has quite a good chance to turn to good again, but he can't and after he flees he starts a new career in Middle-Earth and he's evil again. [...]
