Finally got around to doodling a quick sketch from Marchwriter’s excellent Agarwaen fanfic. It’s got angst, budding friendships, angst, young Aragorn being the best, angst, and of course Haldir experiencing emotional and physical trials. 

A/N: My longest-running labor of love. Starting with (in chronological order)...

Agar Saer (Haldir-young Legolas friendship)

Cost of Blood (Haldir-backstory)

Ashes of Eden (Haldir/Celebrian-centric series of ficlets)

First Name Terms (the start of Haldir's and Aragorn's friendship)

A Warrior's Experience (continuation of Haldir's and Aragorn's friendship)

Agarwaen (detailing Aragorn's and Haldir's wanderings together in the wild)

Dwimmerlaik (a first-encounter-with-Nazgul story)

And including off-shoots and oneshots such as...

Uncovered Night

Upon the Road of No Returning

Borderlands (4074 words) by Marchwriter Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Nellas/Niënor Níniel Additional Tags: Drama & Romance Summary:

Better, Nellas said to herself and the trees who listened, to remain apart from Men. Better so than to become entangled in their fate. But when had she ever been able to evade Fate’s snares — even when she would?

SO GUYS. If you're following me, that probably means you have developed a healthy appreciation for Nargothrond polyshipping and all the various permutations of it, yes? (If not, go dig through my tags, I'll wait XD)

Anyway, the point is, I would like to take the time here to rec to you all the above fic, Only Ourselves Remain, by Marchwriter. It features (pre-Nirnaeth!) Beleg and Gwindor, with beautiful, excellent characterisation and struggles for the pair of them, and lovely atmospheric prose that creates such a great, dangerous, bleak, almost suffocating presence of you as the reader within the characters' situation. (Of course, it has since convinced me to ship them, but what else is new.) No exaggeration, it's absolutely in my top few favourite fics that have come out of the SinS fics this year.
