Summary
The year is T.A. 2931, ten years before the Quest for Erebor. Travelling back to Ered Luin with a small company of dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield is laid low by a poisoned wound in his shoulder. Desperate for aid, and shunned by the other races, his fellow dwarves turn to the only person willing to help: a wandering elvish healer named Ithilrian. After healing Thorin, and rather embarrassingly falling head-over-heels in love with him, she asks to become one of his travelling companions. Oblivious to the turmoil he’s stirred up within her, Thorin begrudgingly agrees; and so a long journey begins.
Or: the story of how an elf-maid fell in love with a dwarf lord, and all the fun of a slow-burn interspecies romance (where both species are supposed to historically hate one another). This story opens a little while before The Hobbit is set, but don’t worry; we’ll find our way into movie-canon soon. Then the fun will really begin…

Summary
As Sauron’s shadow lengthens at the end of the Second Age, the Eldar secure peace in the oldest way: marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to Glorfindel, and his son Calenion (OC), to Thranduil’s line. It is a wise alliance, not a choice of the heart.
However, Meríliel’s love and loyalty is divided. Her bond to Prince Legolas will echo through centuries of pride, war, and consequence.
Woven into Tolkien’s canon and my own worldbuilding, this story bridges the silences between recorded events, exploring what happened, and when, in the years history and Jackson’s movies only hint at.
Arranged marriage. Forbidden love. Political tension. Cultural depth. Choices that do not fade.
