Aeärwen's Corner

As I said, B2MEM gave me another opportunity to find a few characters who normally don't get much exposure. This week's Little Bit - a tribble (no, not the Star Trek furry pest, but a triple-drabble of exactly 300 words) does exactly that.

This week's drabble - a double - is also from my answers to the Back to Middle-earth prompts. As I mentioned earlier, all of my drabbles, vignettes and stories for B2MEM are part of what I consider my "I Dhaerlend Dadui" story!verse - an overarching and interwoven storyline that starts in the First Age with "Along Came A Spider" and spans the entire timeline of Tolkien's universe, up to the modern Age with "Ghost" and "Comfort" and "The Ties That Bind".

There is one major work that hasn't seen the public light of day yet: "I Dhaerlend Dadui" itself. For that reason, some of the B2MEM prompts won't be posted for a long time. However, some of those I can post offer inklings as to the directions I intend to take with any number of characters. This one being a prime example, written for Day #4 - Mithrim:

One of the topics rarely touched on is the fate of the land of Orodruin after the fall of Sauron. While working on my Stubborn Limpet, this possible future came to me:

( Transformation )

One of the really fun things about having written all these drabbles is the opportunity they gave me to explore some of the supporting cast of characters that don't normally get a whole lot of "air-time". This is another one that takes a look at the ending of the Age of the Elves from a perspective not often heard from.

( Looking Forward )

This little snippet comes from a bit further along in my IDD!verse timeline, and in Gondor rather than Aman. Enjoy.

I don't think I've seen anybody tackle this before...

( Homesick )

And now, for this week's drabble offering:

( Lies )

And for your drabble-reading pleasure today...

( Revenge )

And this week's drabble, which in turn has sparked a double-drabble that will appear here one of these weekends:
