Aglarrâma by Zimraphel
This engaging vignette gives a rare glimpse of the last days of some of the ordinary inhabitants of Numenor, blithely going about their business as history prepares to overtake them
[Added 13/06/2005; Drama; 1000-2500; The Silmarillion; Characters: Tar-Miriel, Ar-Pharazôn, Sauron, OCs]
Confessions of a Queen Downfallen by Jen Littlebottom
The regrets of Tar-Miriel, last Queen of Numenor. Bleak, beautifully written and very believable
[Added 25/01/2004; Character Piece; <1000; The Silmarillion; Characters: Tar-Miriel, Ar-Pharazôn, Sauron]
Eleventh Hour by Zimraphel
Zimraphel's answer to why Tar-Miriel remained behind when Numenor fell. Eleventh Hour successfully lends flesh to the bare bones of Tolkien's narrative, and creates a sympathetic character for the doomed Queen
[Added 09/09/2003; Drama; 6000-20,000; The Silmarillion; Characters: Tar-Miriel, Ar-Pharazôn, Sauron, Elendil, Isildur, OC]
Falling by Maureen Lycaon
A novel viewpoint on an oft-told tale, with some interesting speculation about the origins of Tolkien's werewolves
[Added 24/06/2004; Drama; 2500-6000; The Silmarillion; Characters: Draugluin, Huan, Sauron]
One Ring to Bind Them by Tyellas
An unusual and well-thought-out take on a strangely underwritten corner of canon, the making of the Rings. Consistently strong characterisation and gorgeous details make this a classic
[Added 09/09/2003; Drama; 20,000-50,000; The Silmarillion; Characters: Celebrimbor, Sauron, Celeborn, Galadriel, Elrond, Minor; Adult]
The Ring and the Crown by Vulgarweed
Stylish writing that can't fail to send a shiver down your spine, in this tale of dark desires and even darker fulfilment
[Added 09/09/2003; Drama; 6000-20,000; The Silmarillion; Characters: Witch-King of Angmar, Sauron; Adult]
