Summary
Awoken beneath a sea of unfamiliar stars, her body is no longer her own. Trapped in a child’s form, a modern soul is born into a world of strange, ancient beings. In a vast land that harbors people who speak in languages she can't comprehend, all in hopes of discovering the reason as to why she was brought there. If there is one at all.
"Hello?" She was met with silence. Not a single soul lingered for miles around. She knew she was starving. Slowly withering away day by day the longer she went without food and drink. Her stomach churned.
"This blows."

Summary
Laying on his death bed, in the last homely home of the elves, the Valar visit Bilbo. Something went wrong, Frodo and Sam failed their task. Bilbo has been charged with going back, back to the very beginning. He is being sent back to his twenty fifth year of age.
OR
Bilbo: dies, time-travels, becomes Mandos’ favorite, pranks half of Rivendell, turns pirate, saves the Nazgûl, and learns combat from Glorfindel.
Gandalf: “What do you mean Belladonna isn’t dead?”
Thorin: “Why is our hobbit terrifying and why is that attractive?”
Nori: “Honey, I’m home!”A fix-it where Bilbo is competent and everyone else is confused.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins only travelled to the town to conduct business and fix some ledgers. He certainly didn’t plan for two sarcastic dwarven slaves to convince him to buy them.
Bilbo should know by now that nothing ever goes to plan for him.

Summary
Astri is a witch - or so it seemed. Not evil, cackling or riddled with warts but strange and seemingly veiled in mystery. Thorin had every right not to trust her, having her vile presence thrust upon him at his lowest hour by Gandalf did not help his already darkened mind. Everyone was an enemy. This one just took the form of a small, seemingly harmless human woman.

Summary
I had a crazy idea to write a story in which Bucky Barnes somehow falls through a portal (or maybe just hits his head) and finds himself.... in Middle-Earth. You read that correctly. About the Middle of the Third Age, to be precise.
Is it a dream, or is he really here, encountering Elves, Dwarves and some very strange Men - as well as an Orc or two and maybe even Gandalf at some point? I have not made up my mind up, but I hope to have fun with a modern superhuman lost in a very strange world, full of creatures just as powerful as him.
I don't know how this will turn out, or how people will like it, but here's my first chapter.
The author is European, hence the spelling and forgive me if I get any details about the American landscape wrong.

Summary
She’s read the books. Watched the films. She knows how this story ends.
Thrown into Middle-earth and burdened with memories of a future that hasn’t happened yet, Katherine tries to keep her head down and her heart guarded, swearing not to interfere. But nothing could prepare her for the real Middle-earth—nor for the people she'd come to care for. Especially not the brave, infuriating dwarf prince who makes her forget that she's supposed to be careful in the first place.
When a growing darkness begins to take notice of her and threatens to hunt her down, the choices become clear: run, or become something more dangerous than the story ever allowed.
(or: a story about grief, slaying a dragon, and falling in love when you're not sure you were meant to exist here at all)

Summary
Self insert character gets transported in to Middle Earth as two separate characters from different campaigns. They have to deal with being in Middle Earth while avoiding being brought into the thick of the wars and fighting without being a hindrance to the other characters in the story. Will any of this make sense? I have no idea. Hope you enjoy.

Summary
Sixty years have passed since Thranduil pronounced judgment, and now, on the eve of its end, Elrohir rides for Greenwood to keep the vow he made: to win the trust of the wood-elves and their king.
Within the forest’s embrace, he and Legolas are reunited at last—older, changed, but no less bound. Yet the path ahead is far from simple. The memory of old wounds lingers, not only between lovers, but between realms. In a court where Noldorin blood is met with wary eyes, and both Sindar and Silvan pride run deep, Elrohir must earn his place among those who have not forgotten the legacy he bears.
As the lovers navigate fragile politics, ancient prejudice, and the quiet trials set before them, another shadow stirs—deeper and older than mistrust. From Dol Guldur comes a darkness not yet named, threading through dream and root and song. Greenwood watches. And not all who walk beneath its leaves do so with kind intent.
