Coming clean.

[kenaz]

So, a while back, I wrote 4 stories under a different pseudonym.  At the time, I had Reasons-- ever feel like you just want to fly under the radar a little bit? Or avoid drama? Or try something a little out of your creative comfort zone?-- but with the passage of years, it just seems silly, so I've combined the accounts in AO3 and am taking public ownership of them. Somehow I doubt this will be news to anyone. I just hope no one feels terribly misled. :(

So, without further ado or justification, I bring you the works of the author formerly known as eidolon_writes.

The Sentiment of Steel
Glorfindel/Ecthelion, R. Written for trekqueen, 2013 Sultry in September.
The Sentiment of Steel, or "Sentiment du Fer": a fencer’s ability to use his sword to feel and manipulate the opponent’s sword. A concept with which Glorfindel and Ecthelion are far too familiar.

A Crown of Green Leaves
Haldir/Legolas, PG-13. Written for ignoblebard for the 2012 LOTR SESA.
An unexpected visitor arrives in Eryn Galen at Midwinter with more than just foul weather following on his heels.

Feather and Fetch
Beleg/Haldir, PG-13. Written for iavalir, Ardor in August 2012
Haldir must look to his past to see his future.

Stronger Counsel
Legolas/Boromir, hard R, darker themes. Written for rubyelf for the 2012 Sons of Gondor Trick-or-Treat exchange.
In Rivendell, Isildur’s Bane has indeed awoken, and Boromir has begun to feel its insidious pull...

I know that! But I did not know while it was happening. IgnobleBard recommended A Crown of Green Leaves and Feather and Fetch to me. Yeah, well, my reaction to those was really funny. I said to him, "These are really good stories, but she sounds incredibly like Kenaz. She needs to find her own voice!" What an insufferably snobby thing to say, but, in fact, it is a compliment to you, because it means you do have a strong voice and self-confidence as a writer.

Ha! Funny! :D Yeah, the Boromir/Legolas fic was definitely a stretch for me, since I really don't like Boromir, but I'm kidding myself if I thought the others were appreciably different from everything else I had written. I actually quite like Sentiment of Steel, though. I'd been thinking about a sequel of sorts to Feather and Fetch, but it never got beyond the outline stage. Part of it might be cannibalized for something else.
