Same procedure as every year - the Yuletide Tales! Due to a busy "real life", there are only eight of them instead of twelve, but I hope you will still have a lot of fun with them.

For the first time, not all of them are placed in the same AU. Friends of "Glorfindel Lion-heart" will find some tales as well as those who favour "The most boring life of Master Erestor of Rivendell". You will read about the deeds of our heroes in the future, and about their past. But no matter how different these tales might be, they have one thing in common: love.

Again, it was a lot of fun writing these little tales, and I hope you will enjoy them. My very special thanks go out to Miss Eveiya, Miss Enismirdal, Miss Kharessa and Miss Zimraphel, my beloved betas and friends, who taught me so much and never hesitated to be honest with me.

I would also like to thank Feronil, who tried his best to keep at least a hint of canon in these tales.

And just in case: DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS are always in need of donations. Yes, this is a hint.

Love and light,
Erestor, December 2005
