I’m so pleased to present my collaboration with @milliethekitty27 for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2021 ( @tolkienrsb ). Her wonderful fic, based on my artwork, can be found here: 

Sam’s Ash

Rating: General Audiences Word count: 20,750 Relationships: Rosie Cotton/Sam Gamgee Characters: Sam Gamgee, Saruman, Frodo Baggins, Gandalf

Samwise Gamgee has always had a talented green thumb, and his garden is living proof.

When it’s destroyed, day after day, he discovers the cause: a massive white crebain that simply cannot leave him alone. A chance conversation with Gandalf reveals the unfortunate truth - this is no simple bird, but the spirit of Curumo, the former white maiar who betrayed the world for power.

How do you forgive the being that would have destroyed everything you love and know?

Can you?

You can see the full artwork here.

I'm very excited to reveal my first piece for this year’s @tolkienrsb! “Sam Gamgee’s Guide to Wildlife Rehabilitation”. In which Sam encounters an unusual white crebain that is very much not what it seems.

A revenant, a redemption, and the return of Saruman.

Fics are forthcoming from my excellent collaborators: @aipilosse and @milliethekitty27.
