This is a group effort, first posted on LJ, based on the premise:
After the Coronation of the King, Pippin, having neglected a cold,
falls seriously ill. Elessar, acting in his capacity as healer,
decrees that the young hobbit must stay in bed. Of course the young
and restless hobbit is chafing to get up just as soon as he's feeling
a little better... How to keep him resting quietly? A fine problem for
the newly-crowned King to tackle! Authors include, in order of
posting: Lindelea, Shirebound, Beruthiel, Elendiari, Bodkin,
Dreamflower, Pearl Took, Rabidsamfan, Anso the Hobbit, and Pipkin
Sweetgrass

Okay, NOW Panic! (907): Boz4PM
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4272
PG-13, Reason for Rating: It's more to cover myself for battle scenes
and extreme angst at times, though the vast majority of the fic is
G-rated.
Romance Partners: N/A
This is the sequel to "Don't Panic!"

In that fic Penelope Baker (a twenty-four year old Tolkien fan who
works in marketing) wakes up in her pyjamas a few miles west of Bree
and is then faced with all the horrors of what it was REALLY like to
live six thousand years ago in Middle- earth (latrines of doom being
possibly amongst the worst of them).

She is rescued by Halbarad, dour Ranger of the North, and taken by him
to Imladris to see Elrond due to the clear knowledge she has of things
she should not know, as well as her bizarre and extreme behaviour as
she battles with her own sanity while she slowly comes to the
realisation of just where she actually is. Once in Rivendell, arriving
only a day or two before the Council of Elrond, she is questioned and,
with much difficulty and Gandalf's help, manages to explain who she
is, where she has come from and how she knows of them all and their
futures.

She then has to acquire a new language and new skills, and learn to
fit in, all the while knowing full well of the impending war, of the
death of Boromir and, worse still, the death of Halbarad. He has
become her friend and slowly begins to look on her as a daughter,
promising himself that he will protect her and look after her once the
war is over.

At the end of "Don't Panic!" despite trying to persuade Elrond not to
send Halbarad south to Rohan, Penny watches Halbarad ride out of
Imladris, holding the banner of the King that Arwen has made for Aragorn.

She knows that she will never see him again.

Now the story continues as she is invited to join the elves of
Imladris as they travel to Gondor via Lothlorien and Rohan, while
decisions are to be made about her future.


It contains angst, but also a lot of humour, indeed it tries to span
both the drama/angst and humour categories equally.

Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony gave
my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he
licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a

goes.

Two sisters go to Middle Earth after the Fellowship is sent into
modern day by Sauron. But Emily and Barbara are determined not to be
Mary Sues. Middle Earth may prove to be too much for these self
assured girls making them confront humorious and sorrowful aspects of
a life they had only read about. Full of wicked humor and lots of Mary
Sue bashing.
