Summary:

After the Fellowship have set out, Elrond and Bilbo discuss rings, and kings, and things that are more important than treasures, no matter how wicked and lovely and persuasive they may be.



I still remember how, when I watched Fellowship for the first time, the flashback with Isildur and Elrond at Mount Doom brought home an emotional history to me in a way the books hadn't, possibly because I had been much younger when reading them. This lovely gem of a story uses that emotional history for Elrond, and Bilbo's history with Thorin, and gives them a wonderfull missing scene discussion at Rivendell.


Of Spiders and other Menaces: set between novels/films, this story sees Arwen and her grandfather Celeborn visit Thranduil's court. Arwen's reactions to the Silvan elves, her trying to figure out what it means to her to be an elf and part human, all makes for a great character sketch and I love the grace and wit of the dialogues.

From such great heighs: Gandalf and Galadriel in ye olde days. Because Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellen have awesome chemistry and the characters really need more fanfiction. This is golden.
