Great Oaks (319): Bodkin
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5242
General, Reason for Rating:
Romance Partners: Thranduil/OFC
Oropher settled in the region of Amon Lanc - but he moved his people
northwards to seek greater safety and isolation. His son was a natural
choice to lead the party seeking a place to dwell. Chapter 2 - not a
continuation of the story, but a related ... reaction to its events.

February Bride (678): Cuthalion
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?SID=4334&CID=17094
Mature, Reason for Rating: It's (among other things) the description
of a wedding night.
Romance Partners: Peregrin Took/ Diamond of Long Cleeve

of Long Cleeve. In the night after the feast the young bride learns a
few astonishing things about her brand-new husband.

Harvest Bonfire (667): Cuthalion
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5457
Mature, Reason for Rating: The tale is rather fluffy, but it deals
with the more exhausting details of motherhood (there is an explicit
"adult" bed scene at the end which would make it a R)
Romance Partners: Rosie Gamgee/Sam Gamgee
This is mainly a Rosie/Sam-tale (though my favorite OFC Lily Proudfoot
plays a certain role, and her star-crossed AU-relationship with Frodo
Baggins is mentioned). In most fanfics Rosie Gamgee is portrayed as
the perfect mother of thirteen children... but sometimes even the best
mother needs some help and has to be reminded that she's still a
lover, too.

Taters and Thyme (499): Cuthalion
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5400
Teen, Reason for Rating: No shocking scenes, but a few details about
giving birth are mentioned.

When his fifth child is about to be born, the midwife (Lily Proudfoot
from my saga Before I go to sleep) sends Sam into the kitchen, to ease
his nervousness by cooking a good meal. And while chopping meat and
plucking herbs, Samwise Gamgee counts his many blessings...

A Tale of Elrond And Celebrían (608): Nemis
URL: http://www.nemis.net/writing/tale/index.htm

and several of the optional stories contain sexual situations that
deserve a mature rating.

The story of Elrond and Celebrían starting in about 1900 Second Age,
running right up to the end of the Third Age. It follows Elrond and
Celebrían from their first meeting onwards, years before their
marriage in 109 Third Age, and continues through their marriage, the
birth and childhood of their children, as well as Celebrían's
waylaying and departure from Middle-earth, right up to their reunion
on Valinor.

SubCategory: Genres: Romance: Incomplete

Heart's Blood (709): ChristineX
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3510800/1/Hearts_Blood
Mature, Reason for Rating: This story focuses on a dark romance and is
fairly intense in places. Also, future chapters will contain content
of a sexual nature.
Romance Partners: Sauron/f
Lithiníel wanted to die. Therefore, Sauron desired that she should
live. What happened next defied all expectations.... Set approximately
40 years before the War of the Ring.

A Hidden Hope (465): dancingkatz
URL: http://www.dancingkatzhome.com/AHH1.htm
Mature, Reason for Rating: Rating due to depiction of malicious
actions on the part of a canon character, descriptions of serious
injuries that some readers may find disturbing, and eventually
consensual intimate relations between a married couple.
Romance Partners: Theodred/OFC
Prince Theodred, long denied his place as First Marshal and Heir of
the Riddermark, and at odds with his father, King Theoden, finds
happiness and love when he least expects it.

This AU story was inspired by a line in Evendim's wonderful fic
"Shield Brothers":

"…I have always known there are two things I never shall do. Scratch a
grey head… and hold my first born."

I've always hated it that Theodred (in both the book and movie-verses)
seemed doomed to a lonely and short life. My muse won't let do much
about the shortness of His highness' span but she (and I) wanted to
give him a time of love and happiness that wasn't just male-bonding.
This is my attempt to do that.

I promise you, Edlyn, my OFC is NOT a Mary Sue!

Written with the assistance of my twin sister Rhyselle, whose
commentary and ideas on characterisation and dialogue has made it a
much better story than it was initially.

Unexpected (559): Madeleine
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4495
Mature, Reason for Rating: Just to be on the safe side. There are a
few erotic scenes between a married couple, but nothing too explicit.
Romance Partners: Éomer/Lothíriel
The first days after their wedding; Lothíriel and Éomer both come to
realize that they still have a lot to learn about each other and that
many things in a marriage between two equally headstrong people aren't
as easy as they might have expected them to be. And this is just the
calm before the storm. As Gandalf announced so accurately at the
wedding: "For storms will come."

To This My Love Hath Come At Last (699): Roh_wyn
URL:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3362651/1/To_This_My_Love_Hath_Come_At_Last
Teen, Reason for Rating: I have put this story in the "teen" rating,
but there may eventually be depictions of battle, and accompanying
violence, etc. The currently available chapters do not contain any
mature themes.
Romance Partners: Boromir/OFC
This story is primarily an exploration of fate vs. choice. Although
those themes can be presented in various ways, I have chosen to do it
in a romance, i.e. the effect love can have on fate and choice. I
believe this is a familiar/recurrent theme in Tolkienverse.

Sons of the Stars (267): TrekQueen
URL: http://www.quillsandink.com/fiction/viewstory.php?sid=1396
Mature, Reason for Rating: Sexual themes are included in this fic
including slash relationships and full sexual detail scenes.
Romance Partners: Elrond/Picard, Glorfindel/Erestor
This story is a Star Trek: The Next Generation and Lord of the Rings
crossover. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lord Elrond meet under
unexpected circumstances but the development between them is even more
unpredictable. Slash romance.

The Allure of the Dark Angel (698): white raven
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1353155/1/
Mature, Reason for Rating: Some graphic sexual content.
Romance Partners: Grima Wormtongue/OFC

malevolent face of Grima Wormtongue.

members of the Fellowship. Slash.

Beginnings (503): Gwynnyd
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=3477&cid=19744

other things might.

URL: http://martal0712.livejournal.com/17130.html
General, Reason for Rating: nothing objectionable
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn

drabble and true drabble.

The Smile That Wins (258): Marta
URL: http://martal0712.livejournal.com/29662.html
General, Reason for Rating: n/a
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn
"But Faramir for a long while walked alone in the garden, and his
glance now strayed rather to the house than to the eastward walls." A
tale of Faramir, Eowyn, courage found, and the start of something in
the Houses of Healing.



SubCategory: Genres: Romance: Pre-Ring War

At Long Last (746): Astara
URL: http://www.scribeoz.com/fanfic/story.php?no=1349
Teen, Reason for Rating: This a probably a VERY conservative rating
regarding non-platonic relationships, but it's in accordance with the
description given in the rating guidelines. :-)
Romance Partners: Denethor II / Finduilas (3rd Age)
Why did Denethor II and Finduilas of Dol Amroth marry? This is a
hopeless romantic's take of their tale.

Duty Bound (212): Bodkin
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5065
General, Reason for Rating:
Romance Partners: Boromir/OFC
Denethor was not a man to leave much to chance. Not when it came to
important matters like perpetuating the line of the Ruling Stewards.
In a time of war, he would be sure to think ahead. Whilst the
Fellowship travels south, Pippin asks a question that reveals
something of Boromir's past. (The members of the Fellowship appear
briefly.)

Hay and Clover (679): Cuthalion
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2060497/1/
Mature, Reason for Rating: It's a "first time" of a young-ish Frodo
Baggins - which should explain the rating clearly enough.
Romance Partners: Frodo Baggins/ A Took cousin
This is the story of a young Frodo Baggins, barely of age and sharing
one bottle of wine too many with Fatty Bolger... only to be rescued by
a pretty young cousin, and to be gifted with an unexpected and very
delightful experience...

Teen, Reason for Rating: Mild innuedno.
Romance Partners: Theodred/Boromir

Grima and the King's Council; Boromir braves Théodred's temper to help
him to unwind.



Seeking to Please (193): Gwynnyd
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4576
General, Reason for Rating:
Romance Partners: Aragorn/Arwen
Aragorn probably returned home to Rivendell at least once between
leaving at age twenty and heading home from Gondor when he was
forty-nine. What did Arwen see when she looked at him then? I think he
was a sweet-talking devil she could never quite pigeonhole.

Lift the Wings (376): Imbecamiel
URL:
http://snwcg.proboards49.com/index.cgi?board=pastchallenges&action=display&thread=1148427095
Teen, Reason for Rating: reference to torture/violence; romance
between married couple (not graphic); reference to canonical death
Romance Partners: Elrond/Celebrian
As she left for Valinor, Celebrian predicted that Rivendell would not
always be a place of mourning. Now a new member has joined the
Peredhil family, and Estel seems to be doing an excellent job of
living up to his name. Originally written for the SNWCG Romance
Challenge - but it's not all about romance ;-)

Summer Daze (471): Marta
URL: http://telperion1.livejournal.com/38829.html?style=mine#cutid1
Mature, Reason for Rating: erotic content, themes of sexuality
(prostitution, masturbation)

prostitute leads him to question some of the values he grew up with.



SubCategory: Genres: Romance: Second Age or Earlier

couple. Nothing graphic.

their daily responsibilities.

blissful time in Valinor.

Even Quicker Than Doubt (365): Keiliss

canon death, slash, some sexual content specific to character and
relationship growth.

Set in the weeks before Elros departs for Númenor, Doubt explores the
reason the twins chose different paths, Elrond's emotional coming of

the reborn Elf's adjustment to his new life in Second Age Lindon.

The Beginning (339): Oshun
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=24
Teen, Reason for Rating: Non-graphic slash. Just a kiss.
Romance Partners: Elrond/Gil-galad
Extended drabble on the theme of Elrond and Gil-galad
as requested by Claudio for his 2007 birthday.
(Non-graphic slash. Just a kiss.)


Capturing the Moonlight (279): Rhapsody

Mature, Reason for Rating: Het-sex on a mature level (as rated by the

For years Beleg asked himself how one can capture the moonlight.

The Last Leaf to Fall (546): Robinka
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=124
Mature, Reason for Rating: Sexual content; character death; angst

incidentally met, fell in love, but weren't meant to see each other
again. Told from the point of view of the OFC.

Teen, Reason for Rating: Implicit sexual situations, nakedness.
Romance Partners: Caranthir/Haleth

some bittersweet tones, though.

love whilst his father-in-law-to-be looks on.

Bound by Duty (175): Lady Bluejay
URL: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=6512
Teen, Reason for Rating: Some sexual thoughts - non explicit sex scenes

stranger tests her sense of duty to the limit. She then has to deal
with those who did not want a Gondorian for a queen.

Teen, Reason for Rating: Sexual thoughts.

decides to use unconventional means to get out of this arrangement?

Yours to command (129): Lialathuveril
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5007
Teen, Reason for Rating: Some violence, but nothing graphic and it is
a romance ending with a wedding night.
Romance Partners: Éomer/Lothíriel
King Éomer of Rohan has come to Gondor to find a suitable queen:
beautiful, elegant, regal and always courteous and polite... Instead
he encounters an unusual young princess and a danger that threatens
his very life.

Concealment (649): Marta
URL: http://telperion1.livejournal.com/40821.html
Mature, Reason for Rating: explicit (but tasteful) erotic content and
discussion of Gondorian sexual ethics
Romance Partners: Boromir/Theodred
When news reached Rohan of the death of Dol Amroth's ruling prince,
Théodred rode for Gondor as quickly as his horse would carry him. Of
course he would come; Boromir needed him.
