"That Fate Them Bore" is a story cycle that begins with Frodo's decision
to leave the Shire and will eventually end in Rivendell. So far, only

an enormous change.

Frodo's birthday has come again, for the fifth time since Bilbo went
away. Frodo is happy as Master of Bag End, enjoying his inheritance. Or
he should be happy. He has every reason to be happy. But he's restless,
discontented - and an autumn camping trip with his cousins seems like
the perfect cure. But not with Sam! Sam has been a little too helpful -
Frodo is feeling smothered, as well as restless, and the young gardener
is left at home, much to his dismay.

When Trouble Came (109): Lily
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5837

slaughter

worries. Before long the Master and all of Buckland face troubles far
worse.

the Black Gate, Merry watches over his friends as they struggle to
survive.

Keep Him Secret, Keep Him Safe (643): shirebound

General, Reason for Rating: Rated mild-PG for partial nudity due to
illness of character.
Romance Partners: N/A
Aragorn falls ill at Cormallen, which Éomer feels must be kept a
secret. But there is more to this illness than meets the eye, as Frodo
