LOTR Fic: "Farther Still to the Sun: Bronwe of Eriador"

I wrote this fic several years ago after ja_is_my_muse , during one of our many long LOTR discussions, wondered whether Aragorn was an 88-year-old virgin. I was intrigued. The guy seems pretty chaste, but 88 years is a LONG time and you have to imagine that Éowyn wasn't the first beautiful woman to throw herself at him. After giving it a lot of thought, I decided he probably wasn't, and ended up turning my imaginings into a series of stories. But more than that, it became was an excuse to delve more deeply into the everyday lives of the women of Middle-earth, who were given rather short shrift by Tolkien.

LOTR Fic: "Farther Still to the Sun: Éadwyn of Rohan"

This is part two in my LOTR series about the women who crossed paths with Aragorn while he was traveling Middle-earth in his early years. It was originally going to be a five things fic, but I doubt I'll ever get around to writing five. I do have the beginnings of a third story, about Denethor's wife Finduilas, but it's far from finished. Maybe one day.
