8 Sabriel, Lirael, Ellimere, and a Really Bad Pun The Old Kingdom is hosting a costume ball, and Sabriel and her friends make a costume based on certain events that somehow totally also happened in Ancelstierre. Couldn't think of a good summary to write for this one, which is unusual for me, but I promise you the thing's hilarious.

3The Best 5-Word Fic Ever The text of a brief, anonymous letter (for top-secret-ness- which is actually the most realistic way it would be sent) sealed with the Frey sigil received at the Red Keep a few days after the nuptials of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey. (Or: Tywin Lannister would do anything for control of Westeros, but Walder Frey needs persuading to go along with risking his neck.)

2The Name of the Doctor It's really quite obvious- what is the other great unknowable mystery of our time? Drabble.

5 It Seemed Like a Good Idea One of Mandos's Maiar, concerned for Hurin, decides to take matters into her own hands... but ends up making things much, much worse. This is a crossover with Game of Thrones (no spoilers, though- only vague implications), but there are so few stories in that crossover archive and I wanted people to actually read this.

31 Fëanáro's Epic Fail: Loopholes » For an unbreakable Oath that called on the three most sacred names in Eä, the greatest of the Noldor really didn't put much thought into it... And now Mandos has terrible grammar, AND Feanor made the classic loophole mistake!

5 The Woes of the Messenger A prince has a desperate message to deliver, but his emotional trauma prevents him from doing so effectively, which would have been perfectly understandable had he garbled the message in any other way...

7 The Writer of the Story Olórin sees the torches of Tirion in the flames of the Sammath Naur. He is pleasantly surprised. Or: In Which The Seemingly Anticlimactic Ending of ROTK is Explained.

8 The Slash Fairy Cometh Again! A sequel to Cyberwulf's "The Slash Fairy Cometh" from the LOTR archive. The Slash Fairy is not satisfied with achieving total dominion over Middle-earth- she wants dominion over all Eä! Triple drabble, approximately. No graphic smut. If you hate slash, READ IT! If you love slash, READ IT!

2 Santa's Fëanorian Elves Mandos comes up with an interesting probation for the Fëanorians... part of 12 Days of Christmas. Google "Whomp It" to find out what it is. (For the record, Santa exists in an alternate universe.)

5 The Goblins' Christmas Feast When Thorin and Company are captured in Goblin-town, much strangeness occurs... Part 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tolkien fic series; next up in Lord of the Rings!
