It’s a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no telling where you might be swept off to.

Legolas arrives in Valinor. People hear of this and are curious to meet him. Who's this Elf that was in the Fellowship with the last Ring-bearer? "He's from Mirkwood," they say. Some think this means he can't be worth much. "He shot down a Nazgul 's fell beast mid flight," they say. There aren't a lot of spectacular deeds that precede him, and some decide ahead of time he's nothing special. But nonetheless, they can't help being curious.

"Maybe he decided to stay in Middle Earth," they start to conclude once it's been so long and he still hasn't shown up. "I would have liked to meet him, but oh well."

And then, at long last, he does show up. And if his name had been inconsequential before, it is now being spoken everywhere, spreading like wildfire, because he has dared to bring a Dwarf with him. A scandal this fantastic has not been seen for many ages.

But at last it finally settles, and people start to remember they were curious about the Elf and not just the Dwarf. Gradually, they receive him with mixed reception. But he can't help noticing the sons of Fëanor keep snickering behind their hands every time they see him. Finally, he asks what's so funny.

"Elrond didn't tell us you were such a shorty," they say. They pat his head like a little child and smirk down at him. Indeed, they are much taller.

"Valinor has received not one, but two Dwarves!"

Legolas never lives it down.

Elros identifies with Men because they get married in wartime, and have babies in wartime, and sometimes the babies have to be raised by other people and that’s just life.

Elves usually politely restrain themselves where he can hear from saying Elwing and Earendil should have just waited the five decades for Morgoth’s defeat to get married. Bringing children into such a violent situation was definitely bad though. Maglor and Maedhros stole the only chance in all eternity Elwing and Earendil would have to raise their sons, and that’s nearly as bad as all the murders put together.

Men think it was responsible of Elwing and Earendil to have obvious heirs before he went sailing. Elros and Elrond were taken in by people who were able to give them individual attention and love, which is better than some. There’s quite a few families that were separated by the various battles and only reunited decades later, and although it’s sad they can still build a relationship.

Being told, “that sucks, my cousin Dave went through something similar” is a lot more comforting than “that is the worst tragedy that could ever happened to a child, you are definitely traumatized somehow.”

∟ Wisest of the Maiar was Olórin. He too dwelt in Lórien, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience.

Celrond Week 2025

"...and it was then that Elrond first saw Celebrían, and loved her, though he said nothing of it."

Announcing Celrond Week, a Tolkien fandom event celebrating the relationship between Celebrían of Lothlorien and her husband Elrond Peredhel, Lord of Imladris and Middle Earth’s favourite wifewise-guy. This event will run from October 20th — 26th 2025, and will feature three elements from which participants can pick and choose if and as they wish, or just go rogue!

A traditional “prompt list” — as seen in most fandom events, seven overarching themes and several literary/visual prompts within each one, to provide a spark of optional inspiration.

Bingo Challenges — a set of “bingo boards” that cater to those preferring to write sentence-fics, drabbles or shorter ficlets. These will be thematic, and feature short, or single-word, prompts that you collectively 'tick off' to reveal a 'prize' image underneath. Inspired by the @silmarillionwritersguild Potluck Bingo challenge.

Visual Prompts: for the artistically minded among us! These will include photo prompts, colour/mood boards, and even meme templates (Eg: “I bet Elrond is thinking about other elves…” Elrond: *thinking about taxation*) that you can take in whatever direction you see fit.

Prompts and boards will be shared on this blog across the next few weeks and in the run up to the event so do follow to keep updated, and the AO3 Collection will be linked here when live. 

Click here for a detailed guide to the event, including content guidelines and an FAQ. 

Happy Celronding!

Then an old wife, Ioreth, the eldest of the women who served in that house, looking on the fair face of Faramir, wept, for all the people loved him. And she said: ‘Alas! if he should die. Would that there were kings in Gondor, as there were once upon a time, they say! For it is said in old lore: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer. And so the rightful king could ever be known.’
