"I am Bard, and by my hand was the dragon slain and your treasure delivered. Is that not a matter that concerns you? Moreover I am by right descent the heir of Girion of Dale, and in your hoard is mingled much of the wealth of his halls and town, which of old Smaug stole. Is not that a matter of which we may speak? Further in his last battle Smaug destroyed the dwellings of the men of Esgaroth, and I am yet the servant of their Master. I would speak for him and ask whether you have no thought for the sorrow and misery of his people. They aided you in your distress, and in recompense you have thus far brought ruin only, though doubtless undesigned."

When All Lights Pass by Werecat
Set at Pelargir after the Battle of Fornost, this story deals with a young man suffering from the Black Shadow, a desperate mother and two strange travellers, one clad in grey and one in earthen brown. They say that the hands of the king can heal... and there were kings in Arda before Aragorn’s time. Slightly AU, this story also draws inspiration from H.P.Lovecraft's "Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath". For Nilmandra, who inspired this.

Captives of Darkness by Hobbsy
Captives of Darkness This is my own tale of Frodo’s struggles after his escape from Mordor and the destruction of the Ring. Yet, if Aratlithiel will permit, it is inspired in part by her heartbreaking CU story “Son of Drogo” wherein, and not for the faint of heart, the worst thing imaginable befalls Frodo. It is this in addition to the loss of the Ring that haunts him in this story. Slightly AU with an intriguing OC Elven Woman.

Making A Difference by cpsings4him
Help! I can't stop writing Pippen and Frodo fic! This one's from a "Shirebunnie" (from Shirebound!) that just bit and would not let go. From her latest batch of bunnies up for adoption: When Frodo awakens in Rivendell, he’s startled to see in a mirror “a much thinner reflection of himself than he remembered.” The next time Frodo sees himself in a mirror is in Minas Tirith -- what does he see this time? AU in that Frodo and Sam don't hop right up after laying in bed for two weeks and go to a party... :) Also includes a bonus story related recipe at the end! :)

Small Treasures by Rosie-Ann
A Shirebound Shirebunny-inspired story. "In Rivendell, Sam is thinking about all the things he's packed for the Quest, including "small belongings of his master's that Frodo had forgotten and Sam had stowed to bring them out in triumph when they were called for." Whatever had Sam packed? When were they called for?"
