    Summary

    Several things had become clear to her during that long, sleepless night. First, that Byron Stirling was the father of Cecilia Gay's child. This she had known already, but the knowledge had solidified inside her, as plain as if she had seen the words written in Mrs. Stirling's family bible. Second, that none of the Stirlings would ever acknowledge the child's existence, much less their relation to it. And third, that she, Valancy Stirling, stood at a cross road in her life.

     

    Valancy goes early to Roaring Abel's house. Written for the 2023 Blue Castle Fanworks Challenge.

    Summary

    Really, Valancy owed it all to Will Desmond. Had he lived, Olive would have married him at 19, clad in satin and lace, in a church festooned with white roses. Valancy would have watched from the pews, wearing her drab brown silk, seated between her mother and Cousin Stickles, secretly seething at the whole affair. There would have been no cause for Olive to go to Montreal or for Augusta Green to share her unfiltered opinions at an inopportune moment, and Valancy would have been stuck at home, clad in brown silk, between her mother and Cousin Stickles for the rest of her life.

    Olive Stirling meets Bernard Redfern. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Summary

    "If you are a hero- go with the dawn,
    And turn your word into reality.
    Take the northern road, to the Kingdom of Darkness,
    And return with a Silmaril..."

    Two different fates are woven together when Lúthien, an elven princess, falls in love with Beren, a hero of mortal men. To win her hand, Beren is sent on an impossible quest- to cut a legendary gem from the crown of the Dark Lord. So begins this battle between light and darkness, love and duty, in the most enduring tale of Middle Earth.

    Recently adapted in Russia as a rock-opera, the Lay of Leithian is reimagined and revitalized. With a stellar cast, and music composed and adapted by Skadi, it's an entirely new way to experience the story of Beren and Lúthien.

    Here you'll find the entire libretto translated into English, best used as subtitles for the 2021 livestream recording. Information and links for viewing are included in the notes.
