narya_flameSummary: A shorter, darker Tolkien text telling the tragic story of two doomed lovers, drawing on Breton myth and legend.
Why should I check out this canon? If you’re into oaths and bargains, questions of fate, courtly love, rules-lawyering, witchy women, magic, myth, tragedy, etymology, or Celtic folklore (and let’s face it, if you’re hanging out in the Tolkien fandom you probably like at least a few of those things!) then this poem may just be your discovery of the summer. You’re also getting several texts for the price of one – the main poem was published together with two earlier ‘Corrigan’ texts, which are full of darkly magical possibilities for the adventurous fan writer to explore.
Where can I get this? Since 2016 it’s been available as a standalone book edited by Verlyn Flieger – your local bookseller or public library should be able to order in a copy if they don’t have one already, and of course the usual online shopping platforms are available. There is also a copy available on the Internet Archive.
What fanworks already exist? At time of writing, there are 8 works on AO3.
