She Cries Your Name (710): MysteriousWays
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4113
R, Reason for Rating: Strong Innuendo and suggestion.
Romance Partners: Linwe
Another story I have written for Marigold's Challenge. This time I
was given assigned line to use in the story. This is a story of a
passionate and loving detour taken by Frodo and my AU OC Linwe, who
in this story is Frodo's wife. Linwe is the product of a challenge I
put upon myself after running across other stories in which Frodo
marries after the quest. I did not think they were believeable and
wondered if after all Frodo had been through could he truly be able
to fall in love and marry. There is a novel length fic dealing with
that and the answer I came up with was "It's tricky but yes". Anyway
this story takes place after Frodo and Linwe are married and find
themselves pleasently diverted.

Romance Partners: Beleg and Túrin
The story of Beleg and Túrin retold as a bittersweet romance. An
elaboration on the version found in Unfinished Tales. Some
familiarity with the story is assumed. Warnings for homoerotic

death.

R, Reason for Rating: Rated R for sexual situations.
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn
"In the libraries of Minas Tirith, Faramir had learned the abstract

PG-13, Reason for Rating: Romantic situations
Romance Partners: Legolas/OFC

rekindle turmoil. Will conflict rule out over love?

Threshold (823): Mechtild
URL: http://www.scribeoz.com/fanfic/story.php?no=1231
R, Reason for Rating: Somewhat explicit erotic content, but not
tasteless or extraneous; adult themes generally.
Romance Partners: Frodo/f
As Frodo grows up, so do his feelings for a grown-up friend. A
child's affection becomes adolescent passion, and, as he matures,
this passion deepens into love. The story spans the time from 1380

mistress... Amrothos/OC romance action adventure story.

Fire and Flowering (58): Raksha the Demon

sexually explicit in nature.
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn

marital comedy.

Avoidance (674): stefaniab
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=3626
PG-13, Reason for Rating: Some of the chapters have "Middle Earth
cussing," which gets a little creative. The story does discuss
sexual matters, such as lust, losing one's virginity, prostitution,
and the presence of homosexuals in the military. There are no
explicit sex scenes and no explicit discussions about sex. As
expected of a resident of Stories of Arda, "Avoidance" contains no
slash.
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn
Faramir and Eowyn re-examine how they fell in love but somehow
avoided telling each other the details. Life in Minas Tirith is
precarious at best, as Gondor's future hangs in the
balance. "Avoidance" is Movieverse, with respect for book canon and
occasional humor in the telling.

Eternal (706): Trekqueen
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1773341/1/
PG-13, Reason for Rating: The rating of PG-13 is appropriate for
this story because there are more adult themes concerning violent
situations in war/battles (not that different from what was included
in the LOTR movies), death, and romantic liaisons but no sexual
details, only goes as far as implied.
Romance Partners: Glorfindel/OC
"Eternal" begins in the early years of the First Age while
Glorfindel is visiting family and friends in Tirion. While there, he
meets a young elleth named Elrilya who is a friend of his cousin's
daughter Idril. They become quick friends when suddenly their world
in Valinor is plunged into darkness and uncertainty. Both wonder
about their destinies and purpose in this changed world as they are
faced with decisions that will forever dictate the way they live
their lives.

Reconciliation (802): Willow_41z
