Antane's Anthology |
Last Updated: 6/19/2020 |
| A place for all my hobbity ficlets. I'm putting the rating as is because there may be some angsty stuff now and then. There'll be primarily devoted to Frodo and Sam, though trust a Brandybuck and a Took to show up at times! No slash as always. Latest: A small tribute to Sir Ian Holm |

Till We Have Faces |
Last Updated: 10/18/2014 |
| Written for the LOTR GenFic Community September 2011 "Hit the Books" challenge in which we were given a title of a famous book to use as our title. This is from a book by C.S. Lewis, but otherwise is unrelated. The bunny that came out of this was what if Boromir’s funeral boat found the Straight Road and arrived at the Lonely Isle and his body remained incorrupt until after Frodo came. Now Finished! Faramir is also in the story, not so much a physical presence, but he is most definitely here in |

The Long Goodbye |
Last Updated: 8/9/2011 |
| This is my Big Bang contribution. It is a companion piece to Via Dolorosa. This time it is post-Quest book-Frodo struggling to reconcile within himself movie-Frodo’s memories. Told from book-Frodo’s POV so please keep that mind when reading it and do not be jarred when things happen (most importantly that Frodo and Sam live together at Bag End) that do not happen in the films. No slash of course, but lots of angst and hobbity love. Enjoy!

Inspiration |
Last Updated: 3/14/2009 |
| From the Silmarillion Writers Guild challenge which I stumbled upon when looking at MEFA stories. "Your characters inspire you - what inspires them?" No slash as always. Just about everyone is going to appear. The chapter titles will generally reflect first the person giving the inspiration and then the person receiving it so some of the chapter titles may be the same and in some cases the people will be both giving and receiving inspiration (ie. coming chapters of Frodo and Sam).

Would You Believe Where the Prompt Led? |
Last Updated: 12/27/2008 |
| My second attempt at humor. This particular bunny woke me up in the middle of the night which is appropriate I suppose since it's inspired directly by Frodo's strange dreams in Larner's last chapter in "Wherever the Prompt May Lead" hence the title of mine here. Sam appears at the end. No slash. Have fun! |

| "All this last day Frodo had not spoken, but had walked half-bowed, often stumbling, as if his eyes no longer saw the way before his feet. Sam guessed that among all their pains he bore the worst, the growing weight of the Ring, a burden on the body and a torment to his mind." A glimpse into that torment. The Red Book is very briefly quoted/paraphrased from within the story. |
