bullet If You Wish Upon a Dwobbit by Soledad Last Updated: 6/15/2013
As mentioned in “The Book of Mazarbul”, Bifur and Óin had always been close. So, why did they never court? Possibly because Bifur’s interest was elsewhere? Don’t let the title mislead you. This is a non-slash, one hundred per cent canon, bookverse story. Well, 99 per cent canon anyway, seeing that Bifur is a bit different here. *g* Features Thorin's entire company - and more.

bullet *REDONE* Creation Song of Ilúvatar by Fadesintothewest Last Updated: 6/13/2013
Story of the Royal Family of Mirkwood and a young woman who appears mysteriously and has a great vantage point from which to observe both the light and dark moments of life in Mirkwood. Sounds very much like a Mary Sue, but I am afraid she strays from the guidelines. *Story has been edited and reworked! Will post reworked chapters weekly to biweekly!*
