    Summary

    Several years ago, a postdoctoral student named Elizabeth found herself landing in Middle Earth, a place that she had read and watched many times before. Only, this Middle Earth was different- darker. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men never happened for the elves abandoned mankind by forming a secret truce with Sauron. Mankind eventually won the war at great cost and quickly turned on those who betrayed them, the elves. Now, all elves in Middle Earth are hunted, and those caught are enslaved.

    In this strange and dark version of Middle Earth, Elizabeth found her way to Minas Tirith, became a heralded healer, and eventually her medical skills, knowledge of Middle Earth, and whits granted her the honorable position of Head Advisor to the King. For many years she has served Gondor well and fallen in love with this magical- if at times barbaric place. Yet, all this changes when an elf she recognizes shows up. Now, she finds herself navigating the dark waters of politics whilst trying to keep both her morality and responsibilities in tact.

    What will happen when she finds herself the master of an elven slave she never wished to own?

    Summary

    If you had asked me in the summer of 2023, freshly unemployed and watching the world rapidly devolve into an on-fire trashcan, if I would like to leave it all behind and live my life out in Middle Earth, my answer would have been an emphatic “fuck yes.”

    That answer would have been informed by my firm and not irrational belief that Middle Earth wasn’t real; it was kind of the whole selling point.

    AKA: another modern girl in the Fellowship story. It's a classic for a reason.

    Summary

    Kara is at the end of her nursing shift when a violent man is brought in with an arrow wound. When he spits blood on her, Kara is transported elsewhere. Soon she's doing emergency wound care on book characters and trying not to lose it. She can't watch people suffer even if it isn't real, but Aragorn is very suspicious of a woman who tells no clear story and smells like an orc.

    “Stranger things have happened than you or I have years to tell of it," Gandalf said. "Why does she unsettle you? Surely you do not feel threatened. I am tolerably certain you could defeat her if it came to violence.”
    Aragorn scoffed at his gentle humor. “I’m glad to amuse you. There are more dangers than warriors and swords. Need I tell a wizard that?"
    “I can assure you she is not evil and has not a whisper of magic.”
    “Yet a beautiful woman appears directly in our path, leagues from civilization, and immediately gains the hobbits’ trust. No wizardry, you say?”
    Kara was not *unhappy* at being called a beautiful woman (although his standards for human women, as opposed to elves, were probably low), but she was unhappy to be stuck eavesdropping. She’d seen this scene too many times in movies. They would definitely see her.

    Summary

    There's something wrong with Berylla Brax... everyone's heard of the accident. How she'd fallen going to break her fast and hadn't woken for nearly a moon's turn. When she did wake up Lady Berylla came back different. Quiet, observant, intense in a way she hadn't been before.

    As she watches the Berylla wipe blood off of her stolen sword Elia supposes she should be thankful for the oddities of her savior.
