Commission for @sathinfection: The Priestess and Her Queen– R.Wesley Nipper
“ ’…History is unkind to women.‘ Rising to her feet, Míriel stood well over a head taller than Khunzildân.
‘Our hostess has a hedge maze—I will show you, if you would like. No one will follow us,’ Míriel said, and held out her hand. “
Tar-Míriel and the the high priestess of Melkor, Khunzildân for Sath’s fic, Not By The Hand of Man. :’) Thank you for being so patient while I worked on this!
There’s been a wealth of amazing female-centric and femslash fics recently, and since it’s still Femslash February, here are some recs that should all be showered in love. If you like these fics, please take a moment to let the authors know.
Outside History by Wheelrider
Haleth/OFC, Teens. Quite dark, as it deals with the passage through Nan Dungortheb, but beautifully written and characterized, and all I could have asked for in a gift!And I Would Be the Moon by Tallulah
Erendis/OFC, Mature. After breaking with Aldarion, Erendis falls in love again. I’m still in awe of this story, because it integrates into canon beautifully, and manages to be poetic and no-nonsense at once.Whatever We Lose by Solanaceae
Idril/Nimloth, Teens, AU. Idril and Nimloth, who couldn’t be more different, meet at the Havens of Sirion. Consistently amazing characterization that doesn’t flinch from the darker sides of their survival, with prose and imagery that I’d like to be able to write up.A Thousand Years Above Her by Zeen
Gen. Lalwen returns to life. Which really doesn’t do this story justice. This one actually made me go teary-eyed in the best possible way – Lalwen and Indis’ relationship is a gem.The Sunlight on Her Skin by ncfan
Elenwe/Arien, AU. Elenwe lives, and remembers her lover. I adore this ficlet because it’s such a unique pairing, and beautifully written at that.Star-Kissed by Rhapsody
Éowyn/Surpise, Mature. Before her marriage to Faramir, Éowyn discovers an old Gondorian tradition. I can’t say much to keep from spoiling this fic, but trust my blatant fangirling of Rhapsody as an indicator of quality. 😀Of this Earth by Anonymous (Unrevealed)
Gen. Arwen and Éowyn bond on a ride together. A delightful character study that felt very in-tone with canon.Fallen Through the Cracks by Himring
Gen, crackfic taken seriously, crossover, and it’s glorious. Here’s to the perfect solution to Tolkien’s missing ladies!
“My eyes are up here, Galadriel”I love that nightingales follow Melian wherever she goes, it’s so cute…
