A couple of months ago, led astray by the Wombat’s Lord of the Rings obsession, I began re-reading all the Éomer/Lothíriel stories at the Pit of Voles and a few other archives. One outcome of that was the Winnie the Pooh/Lord of the Rings crossover story, told in drabble form, posted here recently. The other outcome, alas, had a much more drastic impact upon my fic writing.
I was smitten, once again, by the desire to write my own Éomer/Lothíriel tale. I don’t write straightforward romances, and most of the possible twists have already been covered by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lialathuveril with a skill and flair that would be almost impossible to match, and so what came to mind was a crossover scenario. I’m afraid I’ve been writing this when I really should have been working on the WIPs for which readers are waiting; I just couldn’t resist.
Here is Part One: a massive 12,200 words, too large to post on LJ in one go. It’s all one chapter, with no natural break point before the end, and so I’m posting it as Parts 1A and 1B. Rating PG13.
Crossover between ‘The Lord of the Rings’ (Book-verse) and the ‘Forgotten Realms’ stories set in the ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ game-world of Faerûn. This is the canon Forgotten Realms, in which ‘Tabula Avatar’ and its sequels never happened, and very bad things happened instead. Features Cierre as she might have been if she had never met Jack O’Neill. I’ve fudged Tolkien’s chronology, assuming that dates during the Age of the Trees are unreliable, to fit the purposes of the story.
Summary: following the death of Eilistraee, goddess of the good Drow, a few of her worshippers decide to flee from Faerûn and find a way of reaching another world; Middle Earth, shortly after the end of the Ring War, where King Éomer is courting Princess Lothíriel of Dol Amroth and a vengeful Haradrim warlord plans a devastating attack. Can the Drow, caught up in a fight they don’t understand, survive in a world where ‘black’ is almost a synonym for ‘evil’?
