The Green Knight and the Heir of Meduseld (170): Le Rouret
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4064
Teen, Reason for Rating: There are no overtly objectionable concepts
in my fic. I rate it "teen" for a couple of conversations involving
vague sexual concepts (barrenness, gelding) and some mild language.
Otherwise the story is fairly benign. It involves treason, runaways,
pillaging of innocent villagers, childlessness, battle, ghosts,
torture, and a couple of beheadings. Practically PG-rated.
Romance Partners: n/a

Battle with Pippin and the rest of the Fellowship. But to what ends?
