Quenta Isilaranyëo - The Story of the Moon Kingdom
An account of the Moon Kingdom, as founded by Eärendil the Sailor and his crew, and the society they created there. Tells the story of the Telperanda, or Silver Millenium, under his daughter, Queen Serenity -- from its height across the all worlds of Arda, save Earth, to its tragic fall at the end of the Fourth Age.
(Sailor Moon/Silmarilion (Lord of the Rings))
A year a half back I had an idea about a crossover where Usagi's Ginzuishou was actually a Silmaril. There were a couple posts that probably still sum up my basic ideas:

Anyway, I finally decided to write a little something, which is featured in the next post. I think I was indirectly inspired by a statue I saw while location scouting for my other fic, but that's how inspiration goes.
Right now, I'm trying to decide which fourteen Senshi were appointed by which of the fourteen Vala. Some are super obvious, like Ulmo: lord of the sea, sometimes doesn't get along with the rest of the Vala, best musician of the group... okay that's definitely Neptune/Michiru. Others are more questionable, like Aulë of the Earth -- he kind of goes with Mamoru's mineral theme, but also forged the chain that held Morgoth so I'm leaning towards Venus. It, um, gets worse when trying to consider Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas.
The second draft looks like this:
Mercury Ami Vairë
Venus Minako Aulë
Earth Mamoru Tulkas
Moon Usagi Varda
Mars Rei Lórien
Ceres Ceres Vána
Vesta Vesta Oromë
Juno Juno Nessa
Pallas Pallas Estë
Jupiter Makoto Yavanna
Saturn Hotaru Nienna
Uranus Haruka Manwë
Neptune Michiru Ulmo
Pluto Setsuna Mandos
I feel like I may be under-using Estë, who represents healing, and that maybe Usagi should have her patronage rather than that of Varda Star-Queen. But that kind of throws the whole thing into disarray. I guess the good news is it doesn't have to match exactly, these are people not ideals. I guess I'm asking, is anyone here a big Tolkien fan who might have a better idea how to sort it out?
