Belated, but worth the wait (Silmarillion, Bible, Les Miserables)
Oh, lands. I had this batch all ready to go and then my computer flaked out on me. *facepalm* Have only just rediscovered them. So.

I was rereading The Silmarillion a while back, and getting beautiful mental images. I said to myself, "Self, there's a story somewhere in that description of Oromë hanging around the primeval forest for all those untold years." Then I got online, and lo and behold, Marnie has written it. Ernil i Duremmen is a lovely, understated snippet, very much in the tone of the original. Plus, baby!Celeborn! Squee!

Little Dogs, by Daegaer -- you know I can't go another update without reccing Daegaer -- is the story of Athalbelet, a Tyrian woman who manages never to be at a loss, even in the most trying situation. It makes my little ficcer's heart explode with joy, not least because I'm a sucker for walk-on characters. :)

So too does Ghost In The Labyrinth, by Tiamat's Child, in which Musichetta and her boys go on an expedition. It's sweet and fluffy like Grandma's menage-a-trois gingerbread, purely romantic and dead-on in character.

Nunquam Erit, or five things that never happened to Cosette, by Soujin Prouvaire, could not be more different; it varies from the melancholy to the outright grotesque, but it's refreshing to see Cosette treated with such depth and imagination.

Go, read, feed the authors. :D
