Happy Holidays, everyone! Thanks for making this another successful lotr_sesa. We hope everyone's been having as much fun as we have.

Now that January 1st has passed, writers and artists, please feel free to post your stories and artwork wherever you like.

All stories are sorted first by general pairing (Men, Elves, Interspecies, and All the Peoples of Middle-earth), then alphabetically by title. Summaries (or first lines) have been included where possible.

Men:

• As One Journey Ends by foxrafer for splix
(Aragorn/Boromir; G; Boromir stood at the edge of Parth Galen looking out across the lake to the eastern shore.)

Elves:

• Blessing of the Spirit by iavalir for samtyr

• Rebirth by raise_the_knife for leianora
(Frodo; PG-13; Frodo arrives in the Undying Lands taken by a fever at sea.)

While we certainly hope all participants have left feedback for their writers/artists by now, with the holiday rush, sometimes exchanges such as lotr_sesa can fall through the cracks. Now is a good time to catch up on all of the wonderful stories and art on offer, and let those writers and artists know how much we enjoy their work! (A special thank you, too, to our dedicated backup writer, raise_the_knife!)

Thank you all so much for being part of lotr_sesa once again; we hope to see you next year!
