Acquittance (337): Aprilkat

Romance Partners: N/A
Outspoken young female surgeon Serindë has been falsely accused and
exiled from Gondor by the Steward Denethor - on pain of death if she is
found. (OFC written by surgicalsteel on Live Journal.) Good deeds repay
in unexpected ways.

The North Delving Incident (26): Dana
URL: http://the-danamark.livejournal.com/195017.html
Mature, Reason for Rating: Dark elements and themes: angst, violence,
minor character death, other dark implications, and the acts of Ruffians
Romance Partners: N/A
A village occupied by ruffians, a year after the Scouring of the Shire
and the Battle of Bywater, and how they are freed.

Answering the Call (340): docmon
URL: http://storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4356
Teen, Reason for Rating: This story relates tales of when each character
succumbs to the call of the Ring. The scenes sometimes result in
potential violence between characters that is nevertheless disturbing
despite not being realized. There is one scene (ch. 3) where there is
some brief violence that is described clearly, though not graphically,
so I have chosen Teen to err on the side of caution.
Romance Partners: N/A
A series of (unrelated) vignettes in which each member of the Fellowship
hears the call of the Ring - and answers it. My take on the big What-If,
pursuing the potential in each character to take the Ring. Varying
degrees of angst, drama, action, and perhaps a little more angst.

Choosing (473): docmon
URL: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=6040

The Last Throw (556): nau_tika
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3842745/1/The_Last_Throw
General, Reason for Rating: N/A
Romance Partners: n/a
Following "The Last Debate" in The Return of the King, Chapter 10 says,
"…the army of the West was all assembled on the Pelennor. … All
was now ready for the last throw."

from the view of a family man who made the journey.


The Dark One (411): NeumeIndil
URL: http://word-hoarder.livejournal.com/5878.html#cutid1
Mature, Reason for Rating: Talk of murder, torture, and invasions;
moderately graphic M/F sex; a fist fight, coarse language and some more
death thrown in. Much of it takes place in a whore house.
Romance Partners: Gamling/Morwen of Gondor (OFC)
Spring has come to Edoras, and with it, a reminder of Morwen's past that
she did not expect. Taken with the arrival of still more refugees from
the west of Rohan, and the seeming possession of Theoden King, times are
dark at the top of the hill. Beset from without and undermined from
within, the people of Rohan may only watch and wait while the doom of
their nation looms large on the eastern horizon.

Part 14 of my series "Nights in Rohan" follows Morwen of Gondor, the
prostitute in love with Gamling, as Edoras prepares for what will be the
War of the Ring. Featuring: Boromir II, Eomer son of Eomund, and
Theodred son of Theoden.

For Our Friends (654): Pearl Took

Generations (508): Bodkin

General, Reason for Rating:
Romance Partners: N/A
It is natural for parents to want their children to lead safer, happier
lives than they did – just as it is natural for them to complain
about the inadequacies of the next generation. While trying to live up
to a father who is an epic hero brings difficulties of its own ...

Legolas in Mandos (317): Fiondil
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4235565/1/Legolas_in_Mandos
Teen, Reason for Rating: Non-graphic description of battle and character
death; implied sex between a married couple.
Romance Partners: Faramir/Eowyn, Námo/Vairë
Aragorn is on a mission to save more than Legolas' life... he has to
also save his own and when the Lord of Mandos plays for souls he takes
no prisoners. A two-part story describing Legolas' 'death' and its
aftermath. Originally inspired by the Naked Yule Challenge at
LOTRfanfiction.

The Keys of the Realm (477): Larner

"Estel I was called, but I am Aragorn, Arathorn's son, Isildur's Heir,
Lord of the Dúnedain." Aragorn takes up his place among the
Dúnedain after learning his true heritage.

Hope comes for Estel (622): stefaniab
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5562
General, Reason for Rating: This is a character piece, in which Aragorn
meets Faramir for the first time since the Houses of Healing. It's
somewhat of highly charged job interview.
Romance Partners: N/A
Tolkien doesn't tell us about the first time Aragorn meets Faramir after
his healing. Jackson didn't film it. Yet, this incident is the subject
of more than a few gap fillers. Here is my version, a character piece
set in the merge of film and book canon that I use for all my stories.




***SubCategory: Genres: Drama: Featuring Boromir or Faramir***

Letters From Faramir (425): agape4gondor
URL: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=4732
General, Reason for Rating:

Teen, Reason for Rating: M/M sexual activity (implied)
Romance Partners: Boromir/Theodred (implied)
" `…almost I should have said that she was tempting us, and
offering what she pretended to have the power to give. It need not be
said that I refused to listen. The men of Minas Tirith are true to their
word.' But what he thought that the Lady had offered him Boromir did
not tell."

The Clear Ringing Of Silver Trumpets (278): Lithilien Quicksilver
URL:
http://lotrscrapbook.bookloaf.net/stories/01/lithilien_trumpets.html

After the stabbing on Weathertop, from Frodo's POV...

Frodo's Crosswise Verse (520): Elanor Gardner
URL: http://www.the-green-door.net/GenFics/CrosswiseVerseII.htm
General, Reason for Rating: Although the reader COULD read a slash
relationship into this story, it is not overtly slash and it can be read
either way.
Romance Partners: N/A
A childhood promise and the rhyme it creates have an impact on the lives
of Frodo and Sam. After the quest, Frodo is confronted with appalling
choices, but a promise is remembered. (This story is best read AFTER
reading Sam's Crosswise Verse.)


Sam's Crosswise Verse (519): Elanor Gardner

Dreams or Reality (716): Eleon Gamgee
URL:
http://www.writers-haven.net/Dreams%20or%20Reality%20by%20Eleon%20Gamgee\
.htm
Teen, Reason for Rating: In Frodo's dream/vision Sam is thrown across
the ground and seems to transform a bit into the Eye of Sauron. It's
only a dream and Frodo does wake up.
Romance Partners: N/A
Is Frodo dreaming again? Or is it real?

themselves.

Frodos Dremes (235): Gentle Hobbit
URL:
http://thelastship.org/eFiction331/viewstory.php?sid=1829&chapter=1
Mature, Reason for Rating: This story is a series of vignettes united by
a common theme. Chapters 1-3 have some unsettling ideas that may deserve
a teen rating (e.g. themes of phobia or abandonment). Chapters 4 and 5
(a two-part vignette) contains elements of horror and no happy
resolution. I would even suggest that this may deserve a mature rating.
The site on which the story is located has a note to this effect for
Chapters 4 and 5.
Romance Partners: N/A
Those who are familiar with "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil" will
recognize the title of this series of vignettes. In this series, Frodo's
gift (or curse) for strange and prescient dreams will be explored.

Why does he have these dreams? What do they tell him? Can he understand
this gift? Come and explore these strange tales, and perhaps we will
find out some of the answers together.

General, Reason for Rating: I gave my story a rating of General because
it fit the guidelines provided in MEFAs description of ratings, and also
