Beta: Not yet, will follow (an unplanned move in May which materialised today means that I will very likely not find the time to write for a couple of months after that. But I don't want to leave anybody hanging, so chapters will be posted first without the beta-magic of the wonderful Eveiya. I promised to finish this tale, and I will finish it. I will update and correct as soon as possible, but as things are now, please forgive spelling and grammar oddities, all my fault, I am ASL and have the attention span of a gnat.)

Notes: “Sia”: Language of the Plains Elves, meaning “parent”. Rabbit and the concept of the Plains Elves are creations by the ever lovely Magic Rat (delaese on LJ) and used with permission.

Erestor, convinced that his services are not longer required in Imladris, wants to sail west with Glorfindel. But then their youngest son Lórindol, believing Mirkwood to be threatened by a hidden evil in the north, goes on a quest with two female Dwarves which not only endangers the lives of everybody in the Woodland Realm, but also causes heartache and uncomfortable revelations for Tauriel, Legolas and his own family.

While Thranduil faces the threat of a civil war, Námo has to learn that even a Vala is not immune to filial rebellion. The future looks bleak for Mirkwood, but luckily, not all those who wander are lost, no matter how reckless their actions.

Tolkien never mentioned what happened to Dís, sister of Thorin Oakenshield and mother of Kíli and Fíli. So my guess is as good as anybody’s!

My profound apologies for pilfering all over Scandinavian Jul-mythology…

Done! Finished! And it only took me five years and one pandemic!

Summary:
The Yuletide-present newly-wed Dwarf Dûlo brings for his wife from Imladris is not quite what she expected. And as Master Erestor has put an explicit export ban on the goods, their first Yuletide together is absolutely not what the young couple expected.

Look who's back. And it only took a pandemic. Well, d'oh.

Summary:
Glorfindel has to learn that, just because you’re an elf in a time of pestilence, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to act like a responsible adult.

Elrohir finds it increasingly difficult to keep both Námo and his sanity; Erestor and Glorfindel suspect he has lost the latter long ago.
Legolas' son explores so-far unknown parts of the Halls of Waiting and makes a new friend.
Meanwhile, the merry company of Elf and Dwarves finally arrives in Mirkwood, and as expected, Lórindol's first encounter with the guardians of Mirkwood's borders surpasses Dís' worst expectations.
