…Faelivrin, which is the sheen of the sun upon the pools of Ivrin.
✧ @gatesofsummerexchange gift: Charithra Chandran as Finduilas Faelivrin for @arwenindomiel
I hope you like it!! 💖
To @diamondrust: This is my fic+art piece for this year's Gates of Summer exchange. Both the fic and the art can be read as either gen or slash, depending on your preferences! I tried to incorporate as many of your likes as I could, which incidentally overlapped *a lot* with mine and made creating these such a happy experience. I really hope you like this, and that this manages to bring a teeny bit of happiness to your day! Happy Tarnin Austa :)
Huge thanks also go out to the @gatesofsummerexchange mods, without whom this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into the event!

Dear future Bilbo,
It’s me, Bilbo. Today was an average day, I am afraid. The King has been brought to the healing tents, and I’ve been helping around as much as I can.
I am feeling very tired now, so I am off to bed.
[Or, Bilbo takes notes for his book that aren't actually notes while Erebor is rebuilt.]
Written for @sunnyrosewritesstuff for the @gatesofsummerexchange! Sunny, I really hope you like this!

Hello @lyndeth-halfelven!! i was your @gatesofsummerexchange ^^ i made you a "moodboard" that i drew myself with a silmaril and sea theme- for elwing! i hope you enjoy!!
Heya! Sorry for the tardiness. (And for the poor shading). But I hope you like my present! I offer you, Glorfindel and Ecthelion, with their kids, Tyelcelure and Herectele. You can clearly see which one is the more level-headed dad, and which one is the not so level-headed dad. (Also let's appreciate Glorfindel's shouders for a moment). There was gonna be wayyyy more art than just this one, but I ran out of time so don't be surprised if I yeet sketches at you in the coming months sksks.
Anyways. Hope you have a great summer!
happy @gatesofsummerexchange to @loothientinooviel!! I hope you enjoy your gift!!!
id: a drawing of modern Luthien, Dior, and Beren having a day at the beach. Luthien is smiling and eating a slice of watermelon as she watches Dior (a small child) bury Beren in the sand.
This is my gift I made for @toasterpapa for @gatesofsummerexchange. This was my first time participating, and I really enjoyed it. 😁 Fi asked for some Fili and Kili shenanigan’s, and me being me, I had to add some feelings to it as well. 🤣 In all seriousness, I do hope you enjoy your gift!!
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Fili & Kili, Fili & Bilbo, Fili & Thorin, minor established Bagginshield
Summary: Fili and Kili have been a little much lately. Their latest escapade: damaging the newly rebuilt Upper Markets that were scheduled to be unveiled to the public that night. However, uncovering Mahal’s Anvil seems to be the answer to all their problems…until it turns their hobbit uncle to stone.

When is the sun not the sun? When is a child and sibling and lover and friend turned to a stranger? When is a change happening if you can't tell the difference? Never and always, says the Sun. On a separate path, says the Ainu. I don't know, says Arien, and so she sails.
4198 Words | Read on AO3
Notes: I used a lot of Valarin (much credit to @valarinventures, and to @yellow-feathered-faerie for Thuringwethil's name), especially for character names at the beginning. Normally I'd leave translations in the AO3 notes, but I feel like this really needs them, so I'll have them at the bottom here. There's still a lot more in the notes though! I've been wanting to write a big character study for Arien for a while with all my headcanons on her, so when I saw your prompt I couldn't resist! This is probably the saddest thing I've written yet, but it isn't all bad, and the ending is at least bittersweet. Lots of complicated relationships, Emotions, and the highs and lows of Arda marred.
Yes. YES. YEEEEEEEEES!!! It's here, and it's QUEER!!!
Dear @maglorslostsilmaril, as it's quite apparent, I was your @gatesofsummerexchange ✨Fairy✨, and these gorgeous sapphics, Arwen and Éowyn, are my gift to you! Ding ding ding!!! 🥳🥳🥳
I had great fun drawing these beauties, and I know you'll take great care of them.
Have a beautiful Solstice Day, and Happy Pride Month to you, too! 🏳️🌈❤️
Happy @gatesofsummerexchange ,@the-seaworthy-muffin! I'm your gifter for this delightful event. You requested something involving Glorfindel, Maglor, and Elrond's sons, and while I'm not sure you meant this, I have written Maglor and Glorfindel dealing with some old grudges (with encouragement from the youngsters).
