bullet Shelter Last Updated: 4/20/2006
I posted this plotbunny on Livejournal, and then couldn’t stop thinking about it: Frodo, Sam, and Pippin recovered at Cormallen from late March to early April; surely the springtime weather in Ithilien wasn't blissfully perfect every day.

While Frodo struggles to recover lost or unclear memories, many of his companions find themselves making discoveries they did not expect. This story is based in book-verse, with bits of movie-verse interwoven at the author’s discretion. Angst/drama, but (being me) there's enough hobbity lightness to balance things out.

Nine people (two Men, one Dwarf, one wizard, one Elf, and four hobbits) have crash landed on a seemingly deserted -- and possibly mysterious -- island. The Fellowship of the Ring meet, bond, and face danger together in a brand-new setting. This story was inspired by Season One of “Lost”, but no knowledge of the show is required.
Rating: G Reviews Status: Complete Chapters: 13 Published: 12/26/2004
bullet Spellbound Last Updated: 4/7/2005
What are the Barrow-wights? Why did the wight tell Frodo that they were “waiting” for him? What did it plan for the hobbits, and why? How were the hobbits lured up to the Great Barrow? What explains why Frodo was treated differently than the other hobbits, awakened sooner, and found the strength to resist the call of the Ring in such a desperate situation? This story is my own look at the events on the Barrow-downs from the FOTR chapter ‘The Fog on the Barrow-downs’.
