Thus it came to pass in that time that the Númenóreans first made great settlements upon the west shores of the ancient lands; for their own land seemed to them shrunken, and they had no rest or content therein, and they desired now wealth and dominion in Middle-earth, since the West was denied. Great harbours and strong towers they made, and there many of them took up their abode; but they appeared now rather as lords and masters and gatherers of tribute than as helpers and teachers. And the great ships of the Númenóreans were borne east on the winds and returned ever laden, and the power and majesty of their kings were increased; and they drank and they feasted and they clad themselves in silver and gold.

Under the Trees of Greenwood the Great by MarigoldG
Under the Trees of Greenwood the Great is the home of the many tales that were written down by Merry, with Pippin's help and illustrations, of their great Adventures following the Quest... New tale added: Stones When Merry and Pippin go on an adventure following in Bilbo's footsteps, Pippin manages to retrieve a treasure he was forced to leave behind on the Quest. This little story was written for Llinos, my best friend in all the world, on the occasion of her birthday. Llinos has done so very much for me, changed my life really, from dark to light. In the area of my writing she has been an amazing help, especially when it comes to incorporating dialogue, which I used to avoid like the plague, and for helping me to recognise Americanisms, bad punctuation, rambling paragraphs and inappropriate foods, flora, and fauna! So, I want to thank her very, very much, for everything! ((((((((Llinos!))))))))

Merry's Magnificent Yule by MarigoldG
It's Yule and poor Merry is missing his true love. He has a bit too much to drink and poor Pippin is left to cope with a very drunken cousin! This is the full and frighteningly unabridged story of what went on earlier in the night of First Yule, S.R. 1413 in my story Merry Yules. Merry is 31 and Pippin is 23. The wonderful song that appears at the end was of course written by the enormously talented Llinos and I thank her very much!
