    Summary

    Fall, 1967. In the quiet chaos of Sugar and Spellcraft Bakery, Walburga Black lay dead on the floor, her life ending at precisely 2:47 PM. Her sons, Sirius and Regulus, stand over her lifeless body, their reactions as different as night and day: one masked in cold fury, the other trembling with barely contained grief. Juliet Taylor looked upon the scene feeling both anxious and exhilarated. Her plan worked. Walburga Black is dead, and with her death, the next stage of Juliet’s carefully laid plans begins.

    Regardless of the changes she already made, Juliet is unprepared for interest Arcturus takes in her after she tried and failed to save Walburga. As Orion offers to help her research her family connections, she was both thrilled and terrified that her choices were already starting to change the future.

    Yet, later in the evening, as she was ascending the steps of her new townhome, Juliet was hit with the sudden urge to cry. It was stupid really, as Walburga Black did not deserve her tears, but Hope Potter had never learned to stop feeling sorry for people in either of her lives.

    Summary

    When the mysterious Theia and her half-elven daughter Elodie arrive at the borders of Mirkwood, they never expect to catch the attention of the Elvenking himself. Struggling with poverty and abandonment by an elven noble who promised her everything, Theia reluctantly accepts Prince Legolas's offer of sanctuary—if only for her daughter's sake.

    Cold and distant, King Thranduil initially sees them as merely a problem to solve. But when young Elodie approaches his throne without fear, something stirs in his long-dormant heart. As Theia's otherworldly nature and hidden powers gradually come to light, Thranduil must confront his own prejudices and pain.

    When the identity of Elodie's father threatens the stability of the realm, Thranduil faces an impossible choice between duty and love. In a world where immortal beings rarely grant second chances, can a broken king, a magical outsider, and a precocious child forge a family from the ashes of their pasts?

    A tale of redemption, belonging, and the courage to love again after devastating loss.

    Summary

When her mother passes away, her grief attracts the attention of two plotting Valar Queens, who hope to prevent the massacre they’ve foreseen in Middle Earth’s future. Thrust into an unfamiliar world with elves, orcs, and rings of power, Charlotte refuses to believe the elves who are convinced she is the key to repelling the darkness that’s stealing realms.

    Summary

    Lydia wakes up in a strange bed, in an unfamiliar world, and everyone keeps insisting she's a princess. Confused and disoriented, she has no memory of how she got there and no idea what that place even is, until she is met with the hauntingly familiar face of Éomer of Rohan. Lydia grapples with being stuck in someone else’s life, bound by a future she didn't choose, all the while being forced to navigate a world that couldn’t be more different from her own.
    Her growing attraction to the fiercely protective and keen-eyed Horse-lord, tasked to take her on the long journey to Edoras to marry his cousin, only makes things more complicated, of course.

    Rated E for detailed but tasteful smut chapters in the later portion of the story.

    Graphic depictions of violence only concerns one very short dream sequence in chapter 24, and MCD is about Théodred as per the canon.

    Summary

    Sequel to And Never Back Again.
    Just like the trees of her forest had turned into the woods of Dunland, the forests of Ithilien became the trees of the Shire. But not just the land had changed. A rune was carved into the door of Bag End and inside, was a pacing, youthful, Bilbo Baggins. Whatever dangers were ahead, she'd face them for the chance to return to Gondor, and to Aragorn.
