the Misty Mountains when they sense a shadow of darkness on Moria.
Exploring the dark tunnels, they find orcs and trolls before
disaster strikes. Trapped in the mines, and with Elrohir injured,
how are they to escape?"
Author's Note: This story is based on two
quotations from Lord Of The Rings, which I decided to combine to
form a single event:
�I too once passed the Dimrill Gate,� said
Aragorn quietly; �but though I also came out again, the memory is
very evil. I do not wish to enter Moria a second time.�
(The Fellowship Of The
Ring, Book Two, Chapter Four, A Journey In The Dark.)
�But when Estel was only twenty years of age, it
chanced that he returned to Rivendell after great deeds in the
company of the sons of Elrond ��

All stories below are by the talented Jay of

today, although not all are yet properly placed on Jay's Author's
Page and Quick List where they will be placed among all the other

editor's fault. The editor finally caught up with about half of
Jay's drabbles just in time as she made a new one July 24:

(Aragorn) tries to write a love letter and Elladan catches him.
"Love" Legolas tells
Aragorn about the relationship between Arwen and himself.
"Blame HASA for this

all three, and this is the result. The speaker is Legolas."
"Glorfindel's Revenge".
Glorfindel confronts the horse-thief Arwen. "For Arandil, who wanted

According to review
notes by Jay, this is all written from Legolas' point of view.
"For Rohan". The riders of

for paranoidangel (Nic), who is a fellow Review Admin at HASA.
She requested Elrond and Sam, so I�ve pretended that Elrond visited
the Hobbits at some point."
"Destiny" Elladan and
Elrohir consider the choice of the half-elven.
"I do not know the twins�
choice, but I tend to think that they chose immortality.
Whatever the decision, I think they chose the same fate � I
cannot imagine them being sundered as Elrond and Elros were. "
(V): According to the books, the
twins did not go with Elrond on the ship to Valinor as was required,
but remained together in lordship at Rivendell. Celeborn later came
to stay with them there before going on to Valinor himself, but it
is not recorded that the twins made any attempt to go with him or at
any later time. I tend to think they chose to remain on
Middle-earth, but apparently they did indeed refuse to be sundered.
"Choices" Elladan and
Elrohir don't go to Valinor on their father's ship.
"Leaving" Elladan and
Elrohir make their final choice whether to go to Aman or stay in
Middle-earth.
"Time to Depart". Elladan
and Elrohir leave for Valinor.
"Arrival" Celebrian in
Valinor watches for those she has long-awaited.

get more than they bargained for. Meanwhile, Mirkwood is falling
into darkness. Her only hope ends up resting in the hands of the two
people she has scorned, and Legolas & Aragorn will risk more
than their lives to save her."
"Part of this story is
slightly un-canon because we place the events of the dwarves�
attempted return to Moria some years prior to when I think it would
actually have happened if one tries to follow a strict Tolkien
time-line. For the sake of the story it could not be helped. Please
consider this a use of artistic license and do not feel inclined to
roast, boil or squash us into jelly over this inaccuracy. :o)

Older stories will move into it over time, probably by author; this
will take a while as they have so many links and my time is
limited, but it will happen. When in the future you can't find a
story at your old bookmark, don't panic; check for it under it's
cross-index to the author, title, or characters. Nothing will be
taken down at any time, just moved.
