Dear Author/Artist!
Thank you for creating for me. You can find my DNW in my Sign up. Here I post bunch of prompts for specific pairings and characters.
I divided my Silmarillion Sign-Up thematically.


1. Feanorian and Co
• Worldbuilding: Reborn & Returned Support Group in Aman (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: LaCE as a social construct
• Worldbuilding: Elven magic and art and technology (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Songs of Power
• Worldbuilding: Maeglin Adopted by Fëanorians AU
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel Lives AU
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel and Maeglin Remain in Himlad
• Group: Celegorm/Lúthien (Silm)
Two people called fair – isn’t that telling? Maybe Celegorm eventually seduce Luthien? Maybe Beren died earlier during the quest, and Lúthien wanted to move on, so Celegorm didn’t seem to her as such bad choice. I think different take on Beren and Lúthien relationship would be also interesting – I mean by it that for her it was something more temporary, maybe way of rebel against her father so she lost interest in it when she proved her point. And then Celegorm showed up.
• Group: Celegorm/Aredhel (Silm)
I think they make perfect match, both because of their characters and hobbies. Maybe at the beginning it was just a friendship, which later led to something more. Maybe some happy tie in Valinor, before everything fall apart. Or how they felt after the Helcaraxe. Or maybe the day when Aredhel and Maeglin left Nan Elmoth and met with Celegorm and Curufin for a while.
• Group: Celegorm/Aredhel & Maeglin & Curufin & Celebrimbor (Silm)
Same as above, but I’m curious of family’s reaction to their relationship. Assuming this happened after Aredhel and Maeglin’s run from Nan Elmoth.
• Group: Caranthir/Haleth (Silm)
I prefer this relationship to be mutual, not some sad pining on one of the sides. Of course it may be just brief romance, after which Haleth rejects Caranthir and his help, but some happy ending (in AU) would be also welcome. And I like a take on how their relationship affects their roles in their respective societies.
• Group: Fëanor/Nerdanel (Silm)
Happy days of their marriage or young love. I don’t want Feanor bashing or showing him as an awful husband, who thinks only of himself.
If you want to go for AU, either Feanor released from Mandos earlier than Dagor Dagorath and reunited with Nerdanel or Nerdanel going to Beleriand, where he lives long enough to reconcile with a wife.
• Celegorm (Silm)
Some solo study of is character. What kind of lord he was in Himlad? What’s brings him to be the person he was, especially in Nargothrond. But come to this with respect and understanding, I don’t want totally villainizing him (despite the fact how much of the villain he was in Beren an Luthien’s story).
• Maglor (Silm)
Maglor, one of most interesting for me characters in the Silmarillion. Maglor during Ages? His earlier life in Valinor Or maybe he managed to return home after ages, and rebuild relationships with his loved ones?
• Group: Amrod/Nellas (Silm)
I find interesting how much they could have in common. I bet both loved forest also I imagine them both as a little bit shy. Maybe they have chance to meet before fall of Doriath, or maybe Amrod met her during second kinslaying and decided to spare her. He could took her with him or maybe their ways parted for some time to meet again after many years, in Valinor.
• Group: Maglor/Maglor's Wife (Silm)
I love my version of their story, and I love stories with OCs. Give me your take on them. Was she singer, just like her husband? Or maybe she was more firmly on the ground and it was the case of “opposites attracts”? Was she Nolde or maybe from Teleri, like I frequently see in some works? Did she follow Maglor to Beleriand, or stay in Aman, and that’s why we don’t know anything about her?
• Group: Fingon/Maedhros & Erien & Gil-galad
Was Erien and Gil-Galad Fingon and Maedhros’ children? How? Was they adopted? Was this a strange case of mpreg? Or maybe Fingon got wife for the sake of having a heir, so their marriage was of convenience? Or maybe rather Maedhros had one? Or both? It’s up to you.

2. Gondolin
• worldbuilding: Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: The Political Structure of Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: Daily life in Gondolin (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Arts & Culture in Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel Lives AU
• worldbuilding: Aredhel escort quest
• Group: Idril/Maeglin (Silm)
I’m not one of these fans who think Idril owe Maeglin “a chance”, but I think that there is interesting AU to explore. What if Idril was a little bit hostile toward Maeglin, because she actually liked him from first sight, but she considered relationship between cousins as wrong? But later she came to think that she shouldn’t act against her heart. I headcanon their decided to keep their relationship in secret, because of “what people would say” etc.
• Group: Idril/Maeglin/Tuor
Idril might not like Maeglin, but what if Tuor fancied him? And convince his wife that it’s not so bad idea (it was). Give me the angst, give me smut!
What’s happened after Maeglin betrayed Gondolin? How did he keep it from his lovers? Or maybe he didn’t manage and everything ends well? Or at least not so bad as in canon?
• Aredhel (Silm)
I really like Aredhel. She is so free-spirited, and interesting character. For this prompt something solely about her (as I have prompts with her and other characters). How was her life like in Aman, or why did she choose to left with Turgon to Gondolin? There is many opportunity. Note: I Eol/Aredhel in positive, non-abusive way is my NoTP. Please don’t include it (I also not a fan of reading abusive relationship, so yeah, but I would swallow it easier).
• Group: Finduilas Faelivrin/Maeglin (Silm)
I know, I know, canonical they never met. But something about their stories, the parallels, knowing that Finduilas liked brooding men with black swords, and Maeglin liked blond haired princesses make me ship those two.
Give me wild AU. Maybe Maeglin and Aredhel ended in Nargothrond after all?? Maybe Finduilas was rescued by Maeglin and ended in Gondolin? Or maybe they met after reembodiment, in Valinor?
There are many possibilities and I would welcome any.
• Group: Maeglin & Salgant
I hope Maeglin had some friends in Gondolin, or at least closer acquaintance. One of them might be Salgant. I really like you to explore it closr.
• Group: Elenwë/Turgon (Silm)
Maybe some closer look at Turgon in love? He often is portraited as very stern, but I imagine he was different before Elenwe died.
• Elenwë
What if Elenwe lived? Or what kind of person she was before she died during Helcaraxe? What about her family, her life before Turgon? I’m waiting for any story involving her.
• Maeglin (Silm)
I love Maeglin. Please, no bashing character in this request. If you don’t like him don’t write about him.
His daily life in Gondolin, as a lord of the house of Mole. What was his duties? How did he manage? He was widely respected. What was his relationship with other lords? With king Turgon? I imagine it was close to a father-son relationship.
• Ecthelion of the Fountain (Silm)
Something about him, enjoying life. Did he have wife and children? Was he in relationship with any other Gondolin lord (Glorfindel?). If not, maybe sister/brother or nephew/niece. I’d be happy to read something about his interaction with them

3. Numenor

• Worldbuilding: Peredhil Heritage in Numenor's art & culture (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: The Drúedain on Númenor (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Silmariën Becomes Queen of Númenor AU
• Group: Tar-Míriel/OFC (Silm)
Who was able to conquer Miriel’s heart? Some handmaiden or maybe noble woman? Was she the king’s followers or of the Faithful? I would be happy to read your interpretation.
• Tar-Telperiën (Silm
I imagine her as a very willful woman. I wonder how she ruled? How her gender affects her ruling? A scene from daily life as a queen.
• Group: Tar-Telperiën/Original Female Character
As I said, I imagine Telperien as very dominant and willful woman. She likes to have everything under control. Maybe she is such also in a relationship? And maybe she needs rather someone who could face her, who would be as strong as she and their relationship would be a constant power struggle?
• Tar-Ancalimë (Silm)
• Tar-Míriel (Silm)
Numenorean queens: any fic exploring women, and women on positions of power in Numenor (even if power only apparent, as in case of Tar-Míriel). How their gender affected their ruling and relationship with subjects and power.
• group: Sauron/Tar-Míriel
Everyone assumes that Sauron seduces Pharazon rather than Miriel, but what if it was other way around? What if Miriel couldn’t resist his charms? I assume it had to be secret relationship, for sake of both their reputations.

4. Women, their power and situation among elves

• Worldbuilding: Women's situation in Valinor
• Worldbuilding: Women's situation in Beleriand
• Worldbuilding: Feminism among elves
• Worldbuilding: Female leaders among the elves
• Worldbuilding: Law and Bureaucracy among the Eldar

• Group: Married Feanorian's wives
• Group: Elenwë & Aredhel & Galadriel

• Lalwen (Silm)
• Findis (Silm)
• Anairë (Silm)
• Amarië (Silm)
• Nerdanel (Silm)
• Varda (Silm)
• Idril (SIlm)
• Original Female Elf Character (Silm)
I generally requested this bunch of characters to explore wordbuildings tags I added here. I would love to read anything exploring women’s position in Beleriand and Valinor societies.

5. Misc – other things I’m interested in

• Worldbuilding: Homophobia in Valinor
• Worldbuilding: Maternal Cousins of Finwëans (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: improbable parentages for Gil-Galad
• Group: Aegnor/Andreth (Silm)
I love this pairing. I prefer something fluffy over the angst we have in canon. Maybe how they come to be a couple, they first meeting, first kiss etc. I would welcome also AU where they stay together – how it change their fates? Or maybe how Aegnor decided that it would be better for them to break up? I have strange conviction that Finrod played part in it.
• Andreth (Silm)
Her life was more than just romance with Aegnor, which was rather brief. I would like a exploration of other aspects of her life.
• Group: Finwë/Míriel/Indis and their children (Silm)
When both Finwe an Miriel were out of Mandos, they decided to go through with all his marriage thing and, together with Indis, form a relationship. How do they family and subjects react to this?
• Group: Fingolfin & Maeglin (Silm)
How theu met and how they relationship looks like after that? Was it after reembodiment in Valinor? Or earlier?
• Group: Elemmírë/Findis
One of my favorite femslash couple in Silm fandom. I headcanon Elemmírë was one of reasons why Findis decided to stay. Ideal to explore Post darkening Valinor or 4th Age Valinor. I headcanon that Aman, especially in the years of the threes (we don’t know anything about later days, so..) was pretty homophobic. How they dill with it? Maybe later it changes?
Also, I headcanon Findis as dark-haired. Of course it’s ok to use your hedcanon in this matter, but if it’s not a problem I’d prefer her with dark hair.
• Original Character (Silm)
Original Character being maternal cousin of Finweans. Or maybe is not original character, maybe is one of the character we know?

• Worldbuilding: Mannish myths of Elves
• Worldbuilding: Reuniting the Kingdoms (LotR books)
• Worldbuilding: Arwen in Gondor (LotR books)

• Worldbuilding: Fading of the Elves
• Worldbuilding: Elven magic and art and technology (LotR books)

• Finduilas of Dol Amroth
• Lothíriel (Tolkien)
• Morwen of Lossarnach
• Théodwyn (Tolkien)
Textual ghost of LoTR. I want to here more about them. What was their life like?
• Group: Arwen & Elladan & Elrohir
Maybe some children sheningans? Life before events of LoTR? Or maybe
• Group: Eowyn/Faramir (LotR books)
Our all-time favorite canon couple! Something about them after the timeline of the books, established relationship is my jam. How they live in Ithilien, how Eowyn cope with her new role as a healer.
• Group: Daughters of Aragorn and Arwen
Something more about this unnamed daughters. What was they like, what or who they love, relationship between them and Eldarion and maybe their parents
• Group: Arwen & Eowyn & Lothriel
Most important women of the Gondor and Rohan after the war. Id they know each other good? Was their friends or rather rivals?
• Took Fairy Wife (LOTR Books)
We do not know anything about her. This is a place for wild imagination. What does fairy even mean there? Was she an elf? Something different?
• Original Elf of Ithilien (LOTR Books)
Elves of Ithilien… What was life for elves like there? How Legolas manage as a ruler? And what were their relations with Men?

Dear artist/writer!

Thank you for creating for me. My general DNW and likes are in the sign up form so I won’t repeat myself. Here are some prompts, mostly for fics. In Silmarillion fandom I sort characters sort of thematically, but you could mix worldbuilding tags as I’m interested in all of them, and sometimes I wanted to repeat them, but it’s not allowed. Only the “Numenorean set” is kind of separated. Of course you don’t have to follow my prompts. I have only one request – to not include Aredhel/Eol in positive light in fics.

You could also check my previous letters for various exchange that are on my dreamwidth journal.

The Silmarillion

Worldbuilding: Gondolin (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Telepathy (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Education and/or school systems in Middle-earth

Worldbuilding: The position of women in Beleriand (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Individual powers and affinities in magic (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Fashion in Valinor (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Rebirth of the Noldorin Exiles (Silmarillion)

Worldbuilding: Elves Through History (Silmarillion)

Worldbuilding: Culture at Alqualondë (Silm)

Worldbuilding: queer elves and their communities

Worldbuilding: Education and/or school systems in Valinor

Worldbuilding: Law and mores surrounding death threats in post-Darkening Aman (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Valinor during the Darkening

Worldbuilding: Queerplatonic friendships and relationships (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Post-Kinslaying Inter-Amanic relations

Worldbuilding: Haircare in Aman

Worldbuilding: The position of women in Valinor (Silm)

Aredhel (Silm)
I really like Aredhel. She is so free-spirited, and interesting character. For this prompt something solely about her (as I have prompts with her and other characters). How was her life like in Aman, or why did she choose to left with Turgon to Gondolin? There is many opportunity. Note: I Eol/Aredhel in positive, non-abusive way is my NoTP. Please don’t include it (I also not a fan of reading abusive relationship, so yeah, but I would swallow it easier).

Group: Aredhel & Maeglin (Silm)
Time to explore relationship between mother and son. I think they love each other deeply, and maintain close relationship through Maeglin’s childhood. I love to read fic set in this period. I would also love to read post reembodiment fic, after all what’s happened to Maeglin, and how Aredhel would react to this. Note: I Eol/Aredhel in positive, non-abusive way is my NoTP. Please don’t include it (I also not a fan of reading abusive relationship, so yeah, but I would swallow it easier).

Group: Maeglin & Eärendil (Silm)
Did Maeglin hate Eärendil, or did they have at least proper relationship before the fall? Maybe Eärendil even liked his uncle, and his treason came as shock to him? How Idril react to them interacting?

Group: Maeglin/Finduilas (Silm)
I know, I know, canonical they never met. But something about their stories, the parallels, knowing that Finduilas liked brooding men with black swords, and Maeglin liked blond haired princesses make me ship those two.
Give me wild AU. Maybe Maeglin and Aredhel ended in Nargothrond after all?? Maybe Finduilas was rescued by Maeglin and ended in Gondolin? Or maybe they met after reembodiment, in Valinor?
There are many possibilities and I would welcome any.

Group: Maeglin & Turgon
I headcanon Turgon was sort of father figure to Maeglin, after Eol’s death. I don’t read Turgon as malicious or in any way hostile toward Maeglin, I’m rather fan of interpretation where Turgon loves Maeglin, and vice versa, which only made Maeglin’s treason worse.

Group: Ecthelion & Idril (Silm)
This prompt may serve as exploration of relations between Idril and lords of Gondolin. Did she have any agenda in ruling the city? Or maybe something more private for this two… Did Ecthelion help Idril in upbringing of her son? Did Ecthelion had any family in the city? I lowkey ship him with Glorfindel, but it’s not required, if you want him to have some OC wife or husband, it’s totally okay.

Group: Idril & Maeglin (Silm)
Did Idril really see through Maeglin first time she saw him? Or it was rather later addition to Silmarillion, to show her as so good in reading people? How did she treat him, did she know he is lusting after her? Was she kind toward him, or hostile from the beginning? There s many to explore in this relationship.

Group: Celegorm/Aredhel
I think they make perfect match, both because of their characters and hobbies. Maybe at the beginning it was just a friendship, which later led to something more. Maybe some happy time in Valinor, before everything fall apart. Or how they felt after the Helcaraxe. Or maybe the day when Aredhel and Maeglin left Nan Elmoth and met with Celegorm and Curufin for  a while.

Group: Luthien/Celegorm (Silm)
Two people called fair – isn’t that telling? Maybe Celegorm eventually seduce Luthien? Maybe Beren died earlier during the quest, and Lúthien wanted to move on, so Celegorm didn’t seem to her as such bad choice. I think different take on Beren and Lúthien relationship would be also interesting – I mean by it that for her it was something more temporary, maybe way of rebel against her father so she lost interest in it when she proved her point. And then Celegorm showed up.

Group: Maglor/Maglor's Wife (Silm)
I love my version of their story, and I love stories with OCs. Give me your take on them. Was she singer, just like her husband? Or maybe she was more firmly on the ground and  it was the case of “opposites attracts”? Was she Nolde or maybe from Teleri, like I frequently see in some works? Did she follow Maglor to Beleriand, or stay in Aman, and that’s why we don’t know anything about her?

Maglor (Silm)
Maglor, one of most interesting for me characters in the Silmarillion. Maglor during Ages? His earlier life in Valinor Or maybe he managed to return home after ages, and rebuild relationships with his loved ones?

Maglor's Wife (Silm)
Who was she? How she met Maglor and how they grow to love each other? Did she follow hi into Exile, and if not, what she was doing in Valinor after Darkening? If she did follow him, what impact she had on his decisions, his life? Did she survive First Age?

Group: Maglor/Elwing (Silm)
Maybe Maglor tried different ways to regain the Silmaril than only war path? Maybe he tried to seduce Elwing, and he succeed.

Group: Haleth/Caranthir (Silm)
I like romances between a male elf and female human, as you may see from my request. I prefer this relationship to be mutual, not some sad pining on one of the sides. Of course it may be just brief romance, after which Haleth rejects Caranthir and his help, but some happy ending (in AU) would be also welcome. And I like a take on how their relationship affects their roles in their respective societies.

Group: Fëanor & Findis & Fingolfin & Lalwen & Finarfin (Silm)
Sibling dynamics, yay! Was Feanor really hostile to all his half-siblings? Or did he hold grudge only against Fingolfin? What about the girls? How did they react to this conflict? When its started? When Fingolfin was already grown man, or earlier?

Group: Celegorm/Lúthien/Beren (Silm)
Why not both? Asked Luthien. Aka AU where everyone was happy, Celegorm regain Silmaril alongside Beren and Luthien, no second kinslaying happening, etc.

Group: Curufin & Maeglin (Silm)
They may be friends, if they get to met each other. AU where Aredhel stays with Celegorm and Curufin, or maybe reembodient AU.

Group: Fëanor/Nerdanel (Silm)
Happy days of their marriage or young love. O don’t want Feanor bashing or showing him as an awful husband, who thinks only of himself. If you want to go for AU, either Feanor released from Mandos earlier than Dagor Dagorath and reunited with Nerdanel or Nerdanel going to Beleriand, where he lives long enough to reconcile with a wife.

Group: Aegnor/Andreth
Another male elf/human female pairing (only one canonical). I’m always willing to read more about them. It’s one of my favorite canonical pairing, and honestly, I’m not sure why, given there is only few lines suggesting their romance. But it always make me cry.

I would like to read how they met or how they come to love. I would welcome also AU where they stay together – how it change their fates? Or maybe how Aegnor decided that it would be better for them to break up? I have strange conviction that Finrod played part in it.

Group: Eärwen & Anairë (Silm)
Group: Eärwen/Anairë (Silm)
Friendship or love between those two. Or maybe something in between? Anaire left her husband and children for Earwen, so their friendship must be really important for her. Did tey met before they get married or after they were sisters-in-law?

Group: Olwë & Finarfin (Silm)
I especially interested in their relationship after the First Kinslaying. Did they remain I familial relationship, or were they hostile to each other (I would be mainly interested on Olwe part).

Group: Ingwion & Finarfin (Silm)
Did they have any private relationship or was it rather purely political? What position in Vanyarin court Ingwion hold?

Group: Elemmírë/Findis
I headcanon Elemmírë to be female. Did Findis stay because of her love for her? How society reacted to their relationship? Were they able to be open about it, or they rather had to hide?

Nerdanel (Silm)
Nerdanel being her own person. Especially after the Darkening.

Worldbuilding: Trade between Númenoreans and Middle-earth (Silm)

Worldbuilding: Choice of the Peredhil

Worldbuilding: Second Age Politics (Silmarillion)

Tar-Ancalimë
Tar-Telperiën
Tar-Míriel (Silm
)
Numenorean queens: any fic exploring women, and women on positions of power in Numenor (even if power only apparent, as in case of Tar-Míriel). How their gender affected their rulling and relationship with subjects and power.

Group: Tar-Míriel & Sauron (Silm)
How she reacted to Sauron? Was she against him all along? Did she fake worshipping Morgoth alongside Sauron? Did he see through her?

Group: Elrond & Elros (Silm)
How Elrond react to Elros choice to be mortal? Did they remain close after Elros ledt for Numenor?

Elros' Wife (Silm)
Group: Elros/Elros' Wife (Silm)

Establishing Numenor, and role of Elros’ wife in it. Who she was? Woman not even mentioned in book as first king’s consort had to have important role.

Group: Tar-Telperiën/Original Female Character (Silm)
I imagine Telperien as very dominant and willful woman. She like to have everything under control. Maybe she is such also in relationship? And maybe she needs rather someone who could face her, who would be as strong as she and their relationship would be constant power struggle?

Silmariën (Silm)
How did she feel, omitted during succession? What was her position in society? Good opportunity to explore women’s position in Numenorean society.  

 

 

The Lord of the Rings

 

Worldbuilding: Rivendell after Celebrían sailed (LOTR books)

Worldbuilding: Ithilien (LOTR books)

Worldbuilding: the Reunited Kingdom (LOTR books)

Worldbuilding: Diplomatic relations between Men after the War of the Ring (LOTR books)

Group: Fourth Age Ithilien Elves (LOTR books)
Elves that Legolas brought to Ithilien. Who they was? Why they decided to leave for Ithilien? What was their life like there?

Group: Elrond & Arwen & Elladan & Elrohir (LOTR books)
I especially interesting in this dynamic after Celebrian sailed. How did they feel then? Fic about them comforting each other, after loss of mother and wife.

Group: Éomer/Lothíriel (LOTR books)
Exploring Rohan culture. How Lothiriel get used to Rohan and Rohirrim? Their life as king and queen of Rohirrim,

Group: Finduilas of Dol Amroth/Denethor (LOTR books)
Daily life in Minas Tirith. How does Finduilas fall in love with Denethor? How he tried to win her heart?

Group: Mithrellas/Nimrodel (LotR books)
Preferably something set before Mithrellas’ marriage, or after her disappearance.

Group: Daughter of Arwen/Original Female Character (LotR books)
Group: Aragorn and Arwen's Daughters (LOTR books)
Something more about this unnamed daughters. What was they like, what or who they love, relationship between them and Eldarion and maybe their parents…

Group: Éowyn/Arwen (LOTR books)
They both must be pretty alienated in Gondor, both dealing with cultural differences. It may make them come closer. Maybe Arwen frequently visited Ithilien, and that’s how they came to be closer, much closer than friends.

Group: Faramir/Éowyn (LOTR books)
Our all-time favorite canon couple! Something about them after the timeline of the books, established relationship is my jam. How they live in Ithilien, how Eowyn cope with her new role as a healer.

Faramir (LoTR Books)
His life as less loved of two brothers, or life as Aragorn’s adviser and prince of Ithilien.

 Dear Artist/Writer!

Thank you for creating for me. All of following prompts are only here to help you, if you have different idea, feel free to use it. My headcanons are in no way obligatory for you.

General DNWs

  • Non Con/Dub Con shown like nothing wrong or even good – it’s plausible when it’s shown as traumatizing and/or it’s part of canon, but I prefer to not focus on it;

  • genderbend;

  • In art: elves with enormous ears; characters looking exactly like in games/screening (it’s not strongly DNW, more “I rather not”)

  • infidelity (in case of pairing which would request it I’d prefer not focusing on it, AU or timeline before/after canon relationship. In case of non-consensual or dubious consensual marriages I don’t consider it as indfidelity);

  • parent or parental figure/child incest;

  • showing characters mentioned in request as foolish or totally evil, villainifing them (it’s ok when it’s only “in thought” of character who hate them, but I don’t want it to be big part of the story),

  • Merman AU or Pirate AU or any AU which changes characters into something non-humanoid

General Likes

  • friends to lovers;

  • rivals/enemies to lovers;

  • people in love with each other, but afraid to admit it and its tragic or not consequences;

  • established relationships;

  • lovers against world – where everyone, especially parents or parental figures, think this can’t work, but they’re wrong;

  • strong female characters;

  • focusing on women’s position in society;

  • helping lover or friend overcome trauma or adjust to society again;

  • troubles in paradise” trope – problems in place where everything seems to be wonderful at first, but it isn’t as good as it seems – especially applicable to Silm fandom and Valinor

  • Aus, especially canon divergences, but also for example modern AU

  • In art: colorful arts, a lot of jewelry and fancy close

 

Silmarillion
First age elven technology

Fourth Age Aman (Silm)

Gondolin society

Letters & Archives of the First Age

Post-Exile/Darkening Valinorean Society

Release of Kinslayers from Mandos

The Bond of Marriage

The Halls of Mandos

Trade in First Age Beleriand

Valinorean Fashion in Any Age

Worldbuilding: Effects of the Silmarils

Worldbuilding: Elven magic

Worldbuilding: Fashion in any culture or time period (Silm)

Worldbuilding: First Age Beleriand Trade Negotiations

All this worldbuilding tags are only suggestions about what I would gladly read., It may be stories including any of prompted chatracters or others. Honestly, if not prompted characters I would prefer stories with your Ocs – I generally love stories about them and other fans characters.

Fashion prompts are mostly for fanarts, I think, so maybe it would be good to show it on some of requestested characters.

I really love fanfictions set in Valinor, and especially reembodied AU is my love.

Curufin's Wife

I have headcanon for her (in my imagination she is very willful woman, not as patient as Nerdanel, and not delicate at all, but somehow similar to her mother-in-law. She died in First Kinslaying, which made Curufin even more determined to follow his father cause), but I love to see yours. Maybe some story about how she and Curufin met, from her perspective? Or she, staying at Valinor/being reembodied far earlier than her husband? Generally her life in Valinor.

Elemmírë/Findis

One of my favorite femslash couple in Silm fandom. I headcanon Elemmírë was one of reasons why Findis decided to stay. Ideal to explore Post darkening Valinor or 4th Age Valinor. I headcanon that Aman, especially in the years of the threes (we don’t know anything about later days, so..) was pretty homophobic. How they dill with it? Maybe later it changes?

Also, I headcanon Findis as dark-haired. Of course it’s ok to use your hedcanon in this matter, but if it’s not a problem I’d prefer her with dark hair.

Haleth/Caranthir (Silm)

My weak point – human woman and elf male relationship. I really like this trope (not that I have a lot of examples of this kind of relationship). I prefer this relationship to be at least somehow fulfilled, not only Caranthir pining after her or vice versa. AU where there are together in long term relationship and how it changes dynamics in ruling their people (I mean Caranthir as a lord of elves and Haleth as chieftain) is very welcome.

Indis/Míriel

I headcanon they didn’t know each other, or at least didn’t know each other well before Miriel’s death. After her reembodiment they maybe even didn’t like each other, but their feelings changed over time, and slowly, from reluctance they came to understanding and finally love.

Maeglin/Idril (Silm)

I’m not one of these fans who think Idril owe Maeglin “a chance” or anything, really, but I think that there is interesting AU to explore. What if Idril was a little bit hostile toward Maeglin, because she actually liked him from first sight, but she considered relationship between cousins as wrong? Later she came to think that she shouldn’t act against her heart. I headcanon their decided to keep their relationship in secret, because of “what people would say” etc., but it’s not some strong opinion.

Míriel & Original Handmaiden Character(s)

I’d like to read something about Miriel before born of Feanor. What kind of person she was? What was her relation to her duties as Queen? I think that showing her with some female friend will be good way of telling more about her.

Tar-Ancalimë/Nessanië

Ancalime’s marriage was rather failed. Maybe because she just choose wrong sibling and realized it too late.

Tar-Telperiën/Original Female Character(s)

I imagine Telperien as very dominant and willful woman. She like to have everything under control. Maybe she is such also in relationship? And maybe she needs rather someone who could face her, who would be as strong as she and their relationship would be constant power struggle?

Inzilbêth (Silm) and Isildur's Wife (Silm)

Those woman are enigma’s. I’d love to see your take on them. We know about Inzilbeth’s influence on her son, and therefore his rulling, but what’s about nameless Isildur’s wife?

Morwen Eledhwen

I love her! She’s such strong character, I would love to read about her before Nirnaeth Arnoediad or even before marriage with Hurin. How did she live in (relatively) peaceful life? She lost her home once before, how did she feel about it? Did she look after her more delicate cousin, Rian?

Nerdanel

She’s one of my favorite character. I would love to read about her long after flight of the Noldor. How she set her life after her family left her? Or in times when she and Feanor were separated. How did she feel about fact that all her children choose father over her? Or maybe she just thought Feanor needs them more then her?

Exploring theme of Kinslayers released from Halls of Mandos with her as central characters would be also interesting. She had changed, her sons had changed, how did they come to know each other again?

Tar-Míriel/Original Faithful Handmaiden Character

Tar-Míriel/Original Female King’s Man Spy Character

I took both this OFC characters as romancing, or at least getting to know with Tar-Míriel mostly because of political reasons. Did they want just to use her, and use her feeling for them own poloitical agenda? Or maybe feeling would win over duty?

Tar-Ancalimë

Tar-Míriel (Silm)

Tar-Telperiën

Numenorean queens: any fic exploring women, and women on positions of power in Numenor (even if power only apparent, as in case of Tar-Míriel). How their gender affected their rulling and relationship with

Turgon of Gondolin

My grumpy, poor king. His relations with daughter, with nephew. I imagine he was very loving father and uncle, but he had problems with showing it, and he became very introvert after Elenwe’s death. How did he feel with Maeglin betrayal? I headcanon that, after first shock and anger, maybe after reembodiment or in Halls of Mandos, he felt also guilty. How he cope with this feelings?
Finduilas Faelivrin

I like you to explore her political role in Nargothrond. Did she had something to saythere? I headcanon that she was closer adviser to her uncle, and in fact she did the second most important person in Nargothrond (and even the first after Finrod died – her father relied on her completely).

Aegnor/Andreth

Another male elf/human female pairing (only one canonical). I’m always willing to read more about them. It’s one of my favorite canonical pairing, and honestly, I’m not sure why, given there is only few lines suggesting their romance. But it always make me cry.

I would like to read how they met or how they come to love. I would welcome also AU where they stay together – how it change their fates? Or maybe how Aegnor decided that it would be better for them to break up? I have strange conviction that Finrod played part in it.

Anairë/Eärwen (Silm)

As I’m not fan of fics with infidelity, I’d rather read about they’re brief romance in their youth. Or maybe they decided to go back to this, after years of marriages, when their husbands let them down.

Aredhel/Celegorm

I see them as really good-matched partners and I really love this pairing (maybe because I love Aredhel). I think it would be especially interesting to read some fic about them after Helcaraxe, at the beginning of First Age, or when they probably met, when Aredhel run away from Eol. Also, it would be ideal opportunity to explore one of my favorite theme: reembodied elves and theme of Kinslayers release from Halls (especially given that I headcanon Aredhel also took part in Kinslaying). Generally I like fics taking place during happy times in Valinor, so something about it would be also very welcome. Maybe impact of their fathers relationship on their relationship.

Elros/Elros' Wife

Establishing Numenor, and role of Elros’ wife in it. Who she was? Woman not even mentioned in book as first king’s consort had to have important role.

Fëanor/Nerdanel

Happy days of their marriage or young love. O don’t want Feanor bashing or showing him as awful husband, who thinks only of himself.

If you want to go for AU, either Feanor released from Mandos earlier than Dagor Dagorath and reunited with Nerdanel or Nerdanel going to Beleriand, where he lives long enough to reconcile with wife.

Finduilas Faelivrin/Maeglin

I know there canonically never met, but I love them both and also I really like resemblences between their story which may suggest they would like each other. After all Maeglin loved golden-haired princess and Finduilas was really atracted to mysterious dark-haired man with black sword. They might meet in Valinor, after long time, when both of them was reembodied and maybe help each other in returning to normal live. AU in which Maeglin gets to Nargothrond (for example he and Aredhel decided to stay with Celegorm and Curufin after living Nan Elmoth and then run away together to Nargothrond) would be also very welcome.

Maeglin/Original Female Character(s)

Mine favorite Silm pairing is Maeglin and my OFC, but I would gladly read about yours. Generally I really like Ocs and I think Silm fandom is generally perfect place for them – there had to be a lot of no-name elfs in Beleriand and Valinor, we mostly read about royal families.

Maglor/Maglor's Wife (Silm)

My Maglor’s wife is one of my favorite Ocs. In my verse she is scientist, way more rational than her husband, she willingly went to Beleriand. I would love to read your take on her.

Maybe Maglor finally reached Valinor. How she react to him? Or maybe they together stayed in Middle-Earth? She isn’t even mentioned in Silm, so maybe she stayed with him.

Meleth/Rôg

They both textual ghosts, very interesting to explore. I would love to read your take on them. Also they are ideal characters to write about Gondolin society, especially given that they’re probably from different classes.

Nerdanel & Anairë & Eärwen

Perfect trio to explore post-Darkening Valinor. Maybe Nerdanel never was so close to them as her sister-in-law for each other, but who would understand her better? How close was relationship between the three of them given that Nerdanel’s and Anairë’s husbands were in conflict? Wifes tried to reconcile them or maybe this conflict affected also their relationship?

Turgon & Idril & Maeglin

I think it would be interesting to explore complicated relations in this family. Maybe something from the beginning of Maeglin’s stay in Gondolin – Turgon tries to comfort Maeglin in his a little bit clumsy way, Maeglin is very lost in this beautiful city of his dreams and Idril had many doubts.

Haleth

Haleth as leader, Haleth and her relationship with brother/father, Haleth as her relationship with subjects and guardswoman. Edain’s culture and how it’s evolve after meeting with Elves.

Maglor's Wife

Depending on your headcanon (whether she go to Beleriand or not) her life in Valinor after Darkening or after releasing of Halls of Mandos/geting back from Beleriand – as she probably would be Kinslayer in first case it could be theme used also for exploring releasing Kinslayers from Halls.

Lord of the Rings (Books)

Avari in the Third Age

powers and effects of the Three Rings

worldbuilding: people of Gondor

All this worldbuilding tags are only suggestions about what I would gladly read., It may be stories including any of prompted chatracters or others. Honestly, if not prompted characters I would prefer stories with your Ocs – I generally love stories about them and other fans characters.

Fashion prompts are mostly for fanarts, I think, so maybe it would be good to show it on some of requestested characters.

Éowyn (LoTR Books)
Gildor Inglorion
I would gladly read something about his origin.

Glorfindel (LOTR books)

Elrond/Celebrían

Éomer/Lothíriel

Eowyn & Glorfindel

Faramir/Éowyn

Finduilas of Dol Amroth/Ioreth

Ioreth/Morwen of Lossarnach

Mithrellas/Nimrodel

I’m not as into LoTR fandom as into Silm, so I don’t have specific prompts for every pairing/character here. I would gladly read something from before/after timeline of the books.

Crossover fandom

Finduilas Faelivrin (as Gil-galad) (Silm)/Celebrían (LotR)
Our mysterious Gil-Galad! Maybe Celebrian would be the only person who would learn who he (or rather she, in this case) was? They could came closer to each other on this grounds, which would end in romance.
Lothíriel of Dol Amroth (LotR)/Uinen (Silm)
Finduilas of Dol Amroth (LotR)/Uinen (Silm)

Women of Dol Amroth always yearns for sea. What if they miss something (or rather someone) else?
Míriel Þerindë (Silm) & Ioreth (LOTR)

I’m very interested how they could meet. Maybe Míriel, still in Halls, somehow “special guest” there (or maybe as Vaire’s handmaiden) could visit also place separated for humans (maybe humans’ spirits could meet elves’ spirits when they were in Halls, for one, last goodbye)? Maybe Míriel visited Ioreth in dreams?
