My Brother. My Captain. My King. (602): Amarok
URL: http://www.naiceanilme.com/viewstory.php?sid=1256&chapter=1
Teen, Reason for Rating: less violent than movie, but some events just
happened... (including character death)
Romance Partners: N/A
A few insights into Boromir's thoughts, fears, and hopes during the
journey of the Fellowship – movie-verse, with some added
`missing scenes'.

Captain of Mordor (626): draylon
URL:
http://henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter_view.cfm?stid=7445&SPOrdinal=1
Mature, Reason for Rating: The story contains stong language, moderate
levels of (non-explicit) violence and (non gratuitious; consensual) sex
scenes, which, though integral to the theme of the story (interspecies
homosexual romance) and plot may be offensive to some, given that the
one of the two main protagonists is human, while the other is an orc. As
the human involved is also married at the time the story is set, an
adulterous outcome is implied.
Romance Partners: Faramir/Shagrat
Post War-of-the-Ring, Captain Shagrat (an Orc) finds himself exhibited
as a fairground attraction, and (retrospectively) slashed with Faramir
of Gondor. A lengthy romance, following the familiar template of:
`boy meets / loses / finds / runs away again from / Uruk' slowly
unfolds. The story includes the usual elements of kidnapping, sex,
violence, and excessive swearing you'd expect from any story
featuring Orcs.
