Hello there!

I hope this letter inspires you, but most of all thank you for writing for me and sharing some of my interests! My love for Tolkien's world is nearly boundless, and in fic I enjoy femslash, gen, het and slash as well as poly relationships (so that's everything, really). I've added some ships I particularly love to the character sections where applicable. Tricks and Treats or any mix of both are equally welcome and don't strictly need to correspond to my requests if you have another idea you'd rather write.

I'm Innin on AO3 as well.

The Silmarillion

+ Eluréd and Elurín: Did they die in Doriath and clung to it, perhaps becoming houseless and out for revenge, or did someone (Nellas? Melian? Elwing?) find and shelter them?

+ Faniel, Findis, Írimë, Indis, Nerdanel: How did they experience the Darkening, having never known anything except light, were there other creatures creeping into the darkened Valinor? Can include Findis/Elemmírë or Indis/Nerdanel.

+ Finrod: - werewolf!Finrod, undead!Finrod or twisted!Finrod returning to Nargothrond against expectation to make the life of the Fëanorians hell for betraying him? (Sauron isn't called the Necromancer for nothing, and this honestly feels like a missed attempt). Can be Finrod/Curufin if made psychologically creepy. Or surviving his ordeal and being comforted by Beren and Lúthien (in any way you like, including sex).

+ Maedhros: The trick poster child! Some ideas: Came back wrong from Angband, fighting against possible mind-washing leading him to assault or betray his people, being literally haunted by the dead of the kinslayings? Or fluffy poly hurt/comfort with Fingon and his wife helping him shoulder some issues?

+ Maglor: Wandering, with the sea or the Silmaril as sentient forces? A good old-fashioned ghost-story, perhaps some horror that's sung into being out of the Noldolantë, or the wraiths of his dead brothers? (A treat could be Elrond finding him and breaking that spell.) Maglor in modern day becoming recognized as an elf (or at least not human) and being hunted by some morally shady corporation? A treat could be set in the same 'verse, with him either finding some Elf who stayed in the modern world, or being taken home to Valinor by someone coming to the rescue? Perhaps Maglor's wife?

+ Míriel: Set in Cuiviénen and dealing with the shadow-shapes roaming the hills? Maybe her silver hair is not silver by nature, but is the elvish equivalent of turning white-haired from fright? (Shush, I know it's not physically possible, but I love this trope and don't care.) In Vairë's service, did she have a way of influencing fate via her work on the tapestries, did she use it toward good or evil, what were the consequences? Treats could involve a poly relationship with Finwë and Indis helping her survive Fëanor's birth sharing their strength. Can be Míriel/Indis, Míriel/Indis/Finwë or Míriel/Vairë.

The Lord of the Rings

+ Adûnaphel: I'm forever grateful for whoever came up with the idea of a female Ringwraith! I'd love a fic about her time of power (if her name is any indication, she must be a Black Númenorean), accepting her Ring, or the way she attracted Sauron's attention - what made her a valuable servant and future Ringwraith - ruthlessness, cunning, something else entirely? Did she have a lover, or family?

+ The Army of the Dead: I keep wondering about Isildur's curse and how he was able to condemn them - that moment from the perspective of one of the Dead would be really interesting. What was Aragorn's coming like to them, were there any Oathbreakers among the host who were not looking for redemption?

+ Lobelia Sackville-Baggins: Lobelia is the best. Her final stand of thrashing the ruffians with her umbrella is one of my favourite moments of the book, and it'd be great to read what else she did during the occupation of the Shire, and if you want to throw in spooky or scary elements (did any of Saruman's magic cause havoc or ensured the Hobbits stay in line?), that would be awesome!

+ Old Man Willow: I love Old Man Willow and his unexplained malice. Who or what is he? A Huorn who grew evil and treeish, or perhaps a houseless elf who possessed this particular willow tree? I read speculations once that being "a mighty singer" might mean he really was Maglor or Daeron who faded during their respective wanderings, and I'm very here for that idea as well.

The Hobbit

+ Galadriel, The Necromancer: Give me something about the assault of the White Council on Dol Guldur, please! (Though I'd prefer movieverse lite that doesn't involve Galadriel's sea-witch form when she confronts Sauron, or the way she's suddenly damselled - I don't imagine magic taking a toll manifesting as rolling around the floor). I'd love something from Sauron's perspective as well! If we've also matched on the Silmarillion, parallels with Lúthien's attack on Tol Sirion would be more than welcome, and it could also involve memories of Galadriel/Lúthien.
