re: a forthcoming response to @polutrope's ask — broken into rebloggable format — this is my personal elrond smut&romance hall of fame rec list. i don't think i've ever actually done this so thank you for asking!! all fics M or E

a star in your constellation by peasantswhy (celebrian/elrond/gil-galad)

Greedy Elrond— couldn’t just have a silver queen, but you needed a king as well? Ai, and he did, didn’t he? He needed—

until i read chapter 4 of this fic — celrongalad slowburn, classic of the genre — i had no reason to believe i would ever write elrond-featuring erotica. such is its power. i think about the line above 10000x day

bleak midwinter story arc by @maggiehoneybite (elrond/gil-galad) absolute classic e/e-gg, exploring their dynamic both at the very beginning and near the very end of their romantic arc 💔 lived-in, warm, wonderful, and sooooo sexy

housed by your warmth, thus transformed by @russingon (celebrian/elrond) | the halo of love around this whole fic...some of my favorite dialogue between cleb and elrond, ever, and just a beautiful depiction of vulnerability and love and growth together through the years — and t4t 😭💛✨

royal service by @arofili (celebrian/elrond/gil-galad) elrond getting TOPPED within an inch of his LIFE by cleb and G-g, the cleb POV is so excellent and so deliciously indulgent and bossy and truly all is right with the world in the space of >800 words

lining up outside just to get down by @jouissants (celebrian/elrond) if you had told 23 year old visitor that one of his favorite fic writers would someday compose a perfect t4t smut postcard woven with a little dna from his rambling self-indulgent celrond series... you coulda knocked him over with a feather, this fic is in a locket over my HEART

the first filament by @undercat-overdog (elrond solo 😉) ... and this fic is in a spider-shaped locket over my heart :') wise sisterauntniece tindómiel lovingly discourses with elrond on elvish and edainic porn tropes during hot númenórean girl summer cocktail hour followed by the CUTEST EVER bejeweled elrond being an erotica auteur himself...!

scorched by @polutrope (elrond/maedhros) this fic is currently k i l l i n g me not only via fulfilling my Need for contemporary elrond/maedhros with maemag frisson but via unflinchingly uprooting all the twisted implications; dark and hot and imho an excellent interrogation of how this entire era is popularly depicted

thrice for honor by tyellas (elrond/maedhros, elrond/erestor, elrond/omc) | this, from the seminal aughts-era ansereg series (in which maedhros institutionalizes ritual warrior bdsm rites after angband) is in fact one of the healthiest intimacy vibes i have ever seen for elrond OR maedhros, in spite of all the flogging. and truly, there is no stump-fucking that can compare...

lastly, in the spirit of the self-rec, my favorite of my own elrond smut is always whatever i wrote most recently so right now that's the current final ficlet in a private collection — not really smut tbh but the comfort side of hurt-comfort with slightly smutty third rail of belly kink and lingerie 😇

your 20s are about elves, your 30s are about continued meditations on the elf

I've officially gotten bored of this piece but I actually think it's adorable so here's to yeeting art into the void. I think that Celegorm never quite recovered from Aredhel's death and currently they're just incredibly on the brain so I've made some cute art, to balance out the absolute horror show of angst in my brain.

Hi! I guess this is odd, but I just wanted to tell you I've been following you on twt for a while, and I really really love and appreciate your literary analysis and how you connect literature to your other interests! (ex. The very big brained recent Jewishness and gender and dwarves certified mayim original) your tweets have really inspired me to think about my own things more academically (if that makes sense?) And try to dissect the media and it's themes and consume it differently. You're very cool dude. Keep posting :D

hi! this is so nice of you to say. i think one of the best things about fandom is the opportunity it provides to draw strings between all your different interests and talk about the things you’re really passionate about.

thank you for the sweet message <3

‘Can I not, can I not, Mablung?’ cried Túrin. ‘But why no! For see, I am blind! Did you not know? Blind, blind, groping since childhood in a dark mist of Morgoth! Therefore leave me! Go, go! Go back to Doriath, and may winter shrivel it! A curse upon Menegroth! And a curse on your errand! This only was wanting. Now comes the night!’ […]

But Mablung came and looked on the hideous shape of Glaurung lying dead, and he looked upon Túrin and was grieved, thinking of Húrin as he had seen him in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and the dreadful doom of his kin […] Then Mablung said bitterly: ‘I also have been meshed in the doom of the Children of Húrin, and thus with words have slain one that I loved.’

twitter limiting the amount of tweets you get to read per day is ridiculous but if tiktok limited the amount of videos people got to see per day it would be the biggest win for mental health since ssris

The Nazgul: Khamul and the Witch-king of Angmar. Still alive but worn down by the powers they should not have had and very close to becoming wraiths. Yes, I ship the the two :D
