And as always any warnings are present on the post themselves and the tags on AO3
Thalassophobia (Day 1 Eärwen): Eärwen is terrified of the sea, which is not an ideal thing for a princess of the Teleri. She might also be losing her mind but that’s not something she wants to talk about. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Best Intentions (Day 2 Aegnor): In spite everything (and that everything is heavy) Aegnor does believe he’s doing the right thing. Or at least he hopes he is. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Canning (Or how to focus on preserves and not the horrors that haunt you) (Day 3 Galadriel): Galadriel at the start of the Second Age. Establishing a brand new home is not easy. Neither is any of the rest. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
wish you would walk through my door (Day 5 Finduilas): If he had really gone off to fight, it would mean that he had lied to her. That he’d known he was going to lose, and that meant he knew he would be leaving her behind. So he hadn’t. She refused to believe it. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Enough (Day 7 Free Choice/Finduilas): Learning she’s going to be an older sister would hard enough to process. The political implications behind it make it worse. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
(Any warnings applicable to the work are present either on the individual post itself or on AO3)
Caesura (Day 1 Míriel Þerindë and Indis): Predictable as it may be, it started like most things do when it comes to the Eldar, with starlight. Starlight, songs in a field bathed in darkness, and laughter rippling over the water of a lake. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Tourniquet (Day 2 Findis): In between the laughing and trying to get her sister off of her, she almost misses Curufinwë’s shadow slipping out through the main gates. Almost. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
In Perpetuum (Day 3 Aredhel): Írissë has always been stubborn. But she doesn’t think she’s being unreasonable. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
that which was not found (Day 4 Finduilas): Finduilas daughter of Orodreth and Princess of the Noldor dies at the Crossing of Teiglin. In spite of that, she lives. It is almost harder. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Saudade (Day 5 Andreth): It is a strange pattern to be trapped in. Never formally named anything or invited anywhere that matters, but still wanted and expected, always heard but never truly listened to. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Smitten (Day 6 OCs/Orodreth’s wife): It is a shame neither of their children ever found their calling as playwrights, their story would have been perfect for a classic romantic comedy. Oh well, perhaps it was better, that way their story would remain theirs and theirs alone. (Or how Hîthwen and Orodreth fell in love and came to be married, told in snippets). (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
(Any warnings applicable to the work are present either on the individual post itself or on AO3)
Mind over Matter (Day 1 Angband): The second worst thing about pain is that you learn to live in it. The actual worst is that it can always innovate. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Games Mice Play (Day 2 Minas Morgul): When Minas Ithil fell, the city and the lands around it became poisoned and deadly. Even so, not everyone can escape disaster and life must go on. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Candles for the Dead (Day 3 The Dead Marshes): The marshes are not a place for the living. Still, there are candles lit amongst the will-o-wisps and the ghostly faces. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
The mysterious disappearance of Marjoram Appleton (Day 4 The Old Forest): A hobbit tale about the dangers of the ancient woods (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
Hound or Hind (Day 5 Nan Elmoth): In the moment she blamed the wind for pulling the arrow from its course. In a few years’ time, with the whole of the truth laid bare in front of her, she would blame something else entirely. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)
and now they wait (Day 6 Nan Dungortheb): A traveler, like many others before him, looses his way in the valley of Nan Dungortheb. He meets a different end than others have. (Tumblr & AO3 & DW)

Best Intentions (Tumblr Crosspost)
Jan. 6th, 2026 01:04 pmSummary: In spite everything (and that everything is heavy) Aegnor does believe he's doing the right thing. Or at least he hopes he is.
AO3 Link
Author's Note: I adore these two so obviously I was going to write something for Aegnor. This is a sort of companion piece to Saudade (DW link) but they can be read independently.
Thalassophobia (Tumblr Crosspost)
Jan. 4th, 2026 03:37 pmWarnings: Blood and injury, unconscious/unwitting self-harming behavior, drowning, uncontrolled foresight.

Day 6: Smitten (Tumblr Crosspost)
Nov. 23rd, 2025 03:09 pm(Or how Hîthwen and Orodreth fell in love and came to be married, told in snippets)
AO3 Link
Author's note: What's this? I've written something that is not depressing or horrifying? No but seriously, this is the lightest, fluffiest thing I've ever written so far. (I meant it then and I mean it now I've got like maybe three non tragic/sad fics I've written total, maybe five if we allow for some sadness with an eventual happy ending/happiness so long as you don't look at the canon timeline. And this is still the fluffiest)

Day 5: Saudade (Tumblr Crosspost)
Nov. 22nd, 2025 03:18 pmSummary: It is a strange pattern to be trapped in. Never formally named anything or invited anywhere that matters, but still wanted and expected, always heard but never truly listened to.
AO3 Link
Author's note: I just think that Aegnor and Andreth definitely met through the years in between their sort of break up and his death, and it kills me to think about how frustrating and painful that must have been.
Day 3: Aredhel (Tumblr Crosspost)
Nov. 20th, 2025 01:30 pmSummary: Írissë has always been stubborn. But she doesn't think she's being unreasonable.
AO3 Link
Author's note: While I do think Mandos as a place of healing is a good idea in principle, there are inherent problems to it. Add to that the fact that the Ainur don't really understand the elves, and Tolkien's world building around marriage? Yeah, there's going to be issues.(Look I've got opinions about stuff regarding this)
Day 2: Tourniquet (Tumblr Crosspost)
Nov. 18th, 2025 05:47 pmWarnings: There are some references to childbirth and some mentions of societal pressure to have children.

Day 1: Caesura (Tumblr Crosspost)
Nov. 17th, 2025 12:25 pmRelationships: Indis/Finwë, Indis/Míriel (Implied)
AO3 Link
Author's Note: I still really love this one, I might actually expand on it someday. (Also, highly recommend clicking through on the tumblr link for this one, because a wonderful artist did some fantastic art there and I'm still not sure what the etiquette is on intersite reccing). Also

Day 6: and now they wait
Nov. 1st, 2025 11:15 pmAuthor's note: Inspired by that line in The Lay of Beleriand about older gods that live in Nan Dungortheb (or Nan Dungorthim at the time). A little additional thing to note is that there are elements of absurdist fiction in here so it does get a little weird.
( Author's ramblings )
Day 5: Hound or Hind (Tumblr Crosspost)
Oct. 30th, 2025 08:48 pmAuthor's note: This is the one that actually got me to start posting on AO3 because it got a bit too long for me to force people to read it on their dash. Also I spent so long looking at horse anatomy diagrams.
