• A Star Shines by Rowan

  Anyone who is a Frodo fan has probably seen tons of stories where he meets Sam. This is one in which he meets Bilbo. My version of Frodo's childhood is a little different from the usual ones you see in fanfic, but perhaps not too different. In any case, this is a short story, the first one I wrote in this fandom as a matter of fact, and I hope you like it.

• Shire: Beginnings by Lindelea

  How the Shire came to be. ("Beginnings" details the journey of the Fallohides across the Misty Mountains into the new land.) Once upon a time, Hobbits lived in harmony with Men, farming the upper vales of the Anduin. They lived so quietly, as a matter of fact, that none of the Great noticed them at all. (The Great are more likely to notice troublemakers than folk doing what they ought.) Times changed, a darkness crept over the land to shadow the hearts of Men, and some Little Folk made the dangerous crossing of the Mountains to the West, while others were driven into the shelter of the forest, where they passed quite a few years in pleasant obscurity once more. It is not always a misfortune being overlooked...
