Hey guys,

In a minute I'm going to begin posting what's known as "check
ballots". A check ballot is a list of all the subcategories within a
main category, including what stories will be competing in it and some
basic information about those stories. If you see anything that you
think should be moved, please post here about it.

A story wins an award at the subcategory level. When you write a
comment about a story it is assigned a point value depending on how
long it is, up to ten points for 1,000 characters. Then the point
values for all the reviews of a story are added up. The story in each
subcategory with the most point gets first place for that subcategory,
and the next two highest-scoring stories get second and third place
respectively. (There are no winners at the main category level.) So
you see subcategories are actually very important! These are the
stories your stories will be directly competing against. That's why we
want to get them right.

You may see stories that are in a suitable subcategory, but you think
another category would be better. Sometimes we've had to do this to
make a too-small subcategory large enough to be competitive, or where
the author would have had too many stories. So we try not to move a
story out of a subcategory if the one it's currently in is good (even
if it's not the best). However, you may see stories in subcategories
that are really wrong for a story. If you find yourself in a category
or subcategory you didn't select when filling out your story form,
please let us know!

Now, I want to clear up some things about how categorization works. I
know there are a lot of people new to the awards this year, and this
really can be a bit confusing.

Some people have emailed me to ask whether a story that was described
as AU or Crossover in the summary would necessarily be in the
Alternate Universe or Crossover main category. The answer is no. When
we placed stories in a main category we used the three main categories
the author chose when completing their story form. Some authors want
to warn their readers that a story is AU, but the AU-ness isn't what
the story is really about so they'd rather it compete against stories
in some other genres. Other times a story was of a special type
(fixed-length ficlet, poetry, or works-in-progress). Stories of those
types compete in special subcategories against other stories of those
types.

So if there weren't enough (say) work-in-progress Crossovers for us to
have a "Genres: Crossovers: Incomplete" subcategory, those stories
would compete in "Incomplete" subcategories in some other main
category. This is why we ask for three main category choices, because
sometimes that first-choice category just doesn't work out.

Also, some people asked whether we categorized based on length. We
keep fixed-length ficlets in special subcategories like I said above.
For the purpose of these awards, a FLF is a piece that's written to be
some specific word length. We're talking drabbles and drabble
variants, like double drabbles, triple drabbles, 150-word ficlets, and
so on. Series where each part is a FLF could compete in those FLF
subcategories, too.

Aside from that, though, we don't keep lengths separate. Novels
sometimes compete with short stories. We did keep an eye on length and
tried to mix stories of different length so a 700-word story didn't
end up competing against a slew of novels (or vice versa). However,
you won't find a "novel" or a "short story" subcategory. Stories are
sorted based on content. Specifically, we build subcategories around
what authors select as their characters for categorization, settings,
events and time periods, and subgenres.

I hope that clears up some questions you guys might have about
categories and subcategories. If you're still unclear about anything
feel free to ask, or check out the FAQ on categories and subcategories at

www.mefawards.net/MEFA2007/index.php?page=FAQcategories

Now, on with the check ballots! I'll start posting them now.

many cute guys, so little time ...

Prince of Winter (93): jastaelf
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=5040&cid=20518
Teen, Reason for Rating: There is a small, somewhat oblique reference
in passing to persons of the opposite sex probably engaged in more
than cuddling; they definitely engage in some uncalled-for meanness of
spirit. The possible activity is very non-specific, but it is better
to be safe than sorry. Also, Saeros employs a mild epithet in Sindarin
that is translated at the end; some folks might not want young'uns
reading such a word without their knowledge, hence the PG-13 rating.

mistake.

more traditional) work in progress.

menial task. The sight of a simple tool brings back painful memories.
Missing scene from my AU-novel "The Long Road Home" and part of the
sock!trilogy which also includes Edoraslass's "A Useful Skill" and "A
Thankless Task".

Fruition (7): EdorasLass

Mature, Reason for Rating: Very dark with themes of manipulation;
character death
Romance Partners: n/a

must duel Denethor.

Morocet's return (650): Fawsley
URL: http://community.livejournal.com/rugbytackle/745248.html
Teen, Reason for Rating: Aragorn swears a bit.

alive!Boromir.

And Not To Yield (117): Lady Marshy
URL: http://ladymarshy.livejournal.com/1999.html
Mature, Reason for Rating: Because it includes two deaths (of canon
characters, who I know many readers are attached to). They are both
executions, neither of them described in explicit detail, and other
deaths and violence are recounted, tho' again not explicitly. It is a
very bleak and unhappy AU. And a very popular canon character is
revealed at the very end to be the absolute villain of the piece.
Romance Partners: Faramir / Eomer
What if somebody did take the Ring at Amon Hen? What if the King did
return to the White City, but the Ring came with him? And what can one
man do when all hope has gone?



The Captain and the King (738): plasticChevy
URL: http://h.t.ioki.tripod.com/lotr/Captain1.htm
Mature, Reason for Rating: Violence - torture depicted (not graphic,
but visible), some amount of gore.
Romance Partners: N/A
Saruman believes Isildur's Heir is carrying the Ring, so he sends his
orcs to capture the Men of the Fellowship. Aragorn and Boromir are
taken prisoner at Parth Galen and brought to Isengard, where their
companions must rescue them before the White Wizard forces Aragorn to
betray Frodo and the Ring. From this point, Tolkien's familiar tale
unfolds, with Boromir woven back into the tapestry of events that lead
to the fall of Sauron and the return of the King.



SubCategory: Genres: Alternate Universe: Incomplete

No Man's Child (198): Anoriath
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4835
Teen, Reason for Rating: Mature themes.
Romance Partners: Aragorn/Arwen/OFC
Aragorn, Dúnadan, little is told of the Dúnedain of the North in the
tale of the twilight of the Third Age. The fate of your House lies
instead to the south, this hope you have planted as a seed within your
heart. You till its ground and water it well o'er the long stretch of
years. But your folk, the last and ragged men of Arnor long bereft of
kingdom and throne, do they not have equal claim? And when their need
can be met by no other, shall then the intellect of the mind overrides
the intuition of the heart? When hope withers in the winter of
approaching night, shall you deem it an act of courage or cowardice to
foreswear the word you had given in its spring?

The Blessing (235): Golden/Pearl Took CoAuthors
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5354
Teen, Reason for Rating: There are descriptions of loss of control of
bodily functions due to illness. There is a scene about contemplated
suicide.
Romance Partners: N/A
Tolkien has Pippin suffering no permanent damage from the troll
falling on him - but what if he had? How would Pippin, Merry, Frodo
and Sam handle it? This story will explore that possibility. The idea
for this story is Golden's, who is an Occupational Therapist, and is
being written by Pearl Took, who sits at home and writes *L*. We are
working together to bring this story to life.

O, Cruel Fate (58): Greywing
URL:
http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter_view.cfm?stid=6435&SPOrdinal=1
Teen, Reason for Rating: Gender confusion and struggles with sexual
identity. Oddly enough, this has nothing to do with homosexuality.
Also, mild (but never explicit) violence and a somewhat sadistic main
character.
Romance Partners: N/A
A timorous botanist is whisked unceremoniously into Middle Earth-- in
the form of the studliest elf to ever walk the face of Arda. A story
of utter chaos resulting from one small accident. Featuring irritated
(and incompetent) Valar, fainting ellith, unscrupulous healers, and a
completely clueless Cirdan.

Taken (791): iorhael
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1106
Mature, Reason for Rating: This story is rated mature for the
violence. This is not slash and there is no sex scene in it.
Romance Partners: N/A
An AU horror/mystery. Frodo was a second too late to take the Ring off
his finger when he first put it on at the Pony. Not only was the Eye
able to see him but it also took a part of Frodo's spirit hostage.

This is my second fic ever. It's violent and so unlike my other
stories here. Be warned.

Lords of Gondor (154): Linaewen
URL: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=4815
Teen, Reason for Rating: Contains some battle descriptions and
"medical" scenes involving blood, not overly graphic; also includes
some character death.
Romance Partners: N/A
How might things have been different if Boromir had not died upon Amon
Hen? What might the tale be like with a living Boromir back in the
thick of things? This tale answers such questions, as the story
follows Boromir alive, doing what it takes to return to Gondor.

Changing the Past (639): mistycracraft
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4748
Teen, Reason for Rating: There are some scenes depicting battles
against orcs and some minor violence.
Romance Partners: N/A
If you had the chance to travel back into your past and prevent a
tragedy, to save a loved one, would you do it? What else would change
as a result? Aragorn, Elladan and Elrohir are given that chance. What
will they change, and how will that affect the history of Middle-earth?

The Steward's Tale (739): plasticChevy
URL: http://h.t.ioki.tripod.com/lotr/Steward1.htm
Mature, Reason for Rating: Violence, moderately graphic medical gore,
orcs eating human flesh.
Romance Partners: N/A
Aragorn leaves Gondor in his Steward's care while he travels west, and
Boromir falls into a new kind of darkness from which he must rescue
himself without the help of his king. Sequel to "The Captain and the
King".

In Aragorn's Safekeeping: Life in the King's House (416): Radbooks
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3066150/1/
Teen, Reason for Rating: Romance, but nothing graphic. Angst
Romance Partners: OMC/OFC
This is the epilogue to 'In Aragorn's Safekeeping'. Rebecca and
Thomas, two teenagers from the 1950s, have settled in as Aragorn's
adopted children and now all of them are making adjustments as they
begin their lives in Minas Tirith after the War of the Ring.

Lamentable Tidings (742): rhyselle
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3277230/1/Lamentable_Tidings
Mature, Reason for Rating: Vivid description of plot-driven torture,
and significant physical and psychological trauma to a main character
in the course of interrogation.
Romance Partners: N/A
Gen. Alternate Universe. Dark. Grievous news comes to the Steward.
Faramir has been taken by the Nazgul in Ithilien when enroute to Minas
Tirith after setting Frodo, Sam and Gollum on their way from the
Refuge at Henneth Annun, and his fate is dark indeed, as he is taken
first to Minas Morgul and thence to the master of the Nazgul. Boromir
has survived Amon Hen with honor intact (if battered a bit), and joins
Aragorn and the Grey Company as they ride for Pelargir and the Corsair
fleet. Chapter 8 posted. The Lull before the Seige of Minas Tirith.

Shire (I kid you not).

Go Out in Joy (145): Larner

Teen, Reason for Rating: Discusses death and dying and possibly
disturbing scenes. Includes the agony of Frodo Baggins.
Romance Partners: Sam/Rosie; Merry/Estella; Frodo/Original Character
AU. What if--if Frodo had chosen at the last not to leave the Shire?
What if he learned he'd been nowhere as capable at hiding the fact he
was deteriorating emotionally and physically as he'd thought, and now
he must face his family in what are possibly his last days?


Deals with death and dying.

After the Ring War Pippin begins to carve wooden figurines of the
Fellowship. Little by little, as each figurine takes shape, more and more
is revealed to Pippin and to Merry. Borrowing heavily from Leaf by Niggle,
this story will take you on a spiritual journey of choices and sacrifices
inspired by Faramir's words: "O Boromir! What did she say to you, the Lady
that dies not? What did she see? What woke in your heart then?" Canon
death of characters.

Force of Nature (360): shirebound
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=3685

A "Quarantined" sequel. Aragorn finds that he needs assistance from

who can deliver it. Characters also include Bilbo and Halbarad.

Reflections of the Past (359): shirebound
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1221

Romance Partners: N/A
Justice is one matter, forgiveness another. In the wake of an infamous
failure of fellowship, the Swan Knights and esquires of Dol Amroth
struggle with the messy business of achieving both. Story in the

Drawing Straight With Crooked Lines (76): Fiondil
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=4770&cid=19083
General, Reason for Rating: N/A
Romance Partners: N/A
Boromir's death from Boromir's POV. The opening scene is movie-verse
because to me it's so dramatic and Sean Bean does such a great job in
the scene.

Safe In My Arms (470): Fiondil
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5168
Teen, Reason for Rating: Deals with character deaths and themes of

God of Wrath (369): Katzilla
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5386

Romance Partners: Éomer/ OFC
When tragedy strikes in an Eastfold village, a woman of Rohan is
confronted with the ghosts of her past and the eternal question of
whether violence - or how much of it - is justified in a war.

Warning: Very dark themes!




Reunion (727): Larner

considered. Contains character death and descriptions of grief process

The Departure of Boromir (622): Narnian Sprite
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2932592/1/
Teen, Reason for Rating: Character death and spiritual theory
Romance Partners: N/A
As I was doing some random character study of Boromir, it sort of
dawned on me that we don't know really what happened to him. So, at
the prompting of my muse, I dusted off my copy of The Silmarillion and
looked again at the description of the afterlife in Beren and Luthien.
Compiling the tid bits of information Tolkien gives to us, I
elaborated my findings into a short story dealing with the death of
Boromir and his final journey. Several people have told me this is
moving, and since it isn't at all what I usually write, I was quite
pleased with the results. I hope you are, too!

Through Daeron's Eyes (187): dancingkatz

Mature, Reason for Rating: For eventual violence (beginning in chapter

syndrome nightmares of a prisoner of war.
Romance Partners: N/A
Initially a one-shot, this Work-In-Progress tale was inspired by
Boromir's explanation that only he, Faramir and two other men escaped
the rout at Osgiliath and a private challenge from a friend to write a
story showing an LOTR canon character from the point of view of a
silent "spear carrier". I wondered who the other two men were and
decided that one of these men was his former squire, Daeron (my OC).
This is the story of his growing up in the years before the Ring War
under the influence of the Steward's family, particularly his hero,
Lord Boromir, and becoming a soldier of Gondor. Additionally, I
thought it was time to give at least a few of those "silent spear
carriers" a voice.

how does Aragorn deal with his new status? How will he prove himself
to those who doubt him, and what surprises are in store for him?
Especially when his heart is breaking....This tale of Aragorn's young
manhood is a canon-mindful AU seeking the emotional truth of Aragorn's
story: events happen in a somewhat different way from how Tolkien
described them. The story is mainly from Aragorn's point of view, but
some parts are from Halbarad's or Gilraen's point of view. Battle
scenes, mature themes.

sequences and romance at a low key level.
Romance Partners: Celeglin/Elemiriel m/f original characters
A tale following an elven child's growth into a remote being as he
struggles to discover his history: a history tainted by the
destruction of Eregion. Too many are blighted by what they saw to
recount to him the wonders of the jewel smiths, too many are too
sorrowful to tell him of lost kin. Duties bring him nearer to truth

Mardil Goes A-Courting (366): Le Rouret
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=5239&cid=21710

Legolas especially is open about the relations between a husband and wife.
Romance Partners: m/f

tender sentiments a waste of time. He's an Elf, right? What could
possibly go wrong?

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.

she compares Sauron, a creative technologist-gone-bad, to a

Oropher settled in the region of Amon Lanc - but he moved his people

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

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/

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...

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

Yours to command (129): Lialathuveril

beautiful, elegant, regal and always courteous and polite... Instead

This vignette is my interpretation of the moment.

Pippin reflects on Frodo in Minas Tirith. A short, one-shot story born
from a plot bunny with a gun and a very itchy trigger finger! My first
Pippin and Frodo story and the first story I've ever done in first
person I perspective.

Basically this is just a few moments between Pip and Frodo...just one
scene. I actually thought when I started writing that it was going to
be a drabble or at the very most, a double drabble. It turned out a
bit longer, but is still of a length that could be considered a "ficlet".

It's written from Pip's perspective and in first person I...a
perspective from which I have NEVER written before. It's amazing what
a fluffy bunny with a gun can make you do!

It features semi-sick Frodo and Pip as it's main characters, but has a
minor appearances by Aragorn and a mention of Merry.

I suppose it would be rated G. There's no slash intended, but I
suppose if one were so inclined, it could be read that way (just
wasn't the way I saw it as I was writing it).

As far as category, I suppose you could call it h/c, but very minor h
with lots of c, but it would probably fit better in just a general
category or maybe Fluffy Angst (is there such a category?). Enjoy!

Tales of Thanksgiving: A Drabble Collection (184): Dawn Felagund



I think you should ask Dawn, but as I recall this series, she uses the term
"drabble" in its more general sense of meaning a short single scene and, as I
remember without looking it up and checking each one, they are all different
lengths.

Can I cast a ballot? I don't know if I'm registered or not. I find the 2006
awards, but not the 2007. I would love to vote for Agape's Field of Dreams.
It is superb.

looked again at the description of the afterlife in Beren and Luthien.
Compiling the tid bits of information Tolkien gives to us, I
elaborated my findings into a short story dealing with the death of
Boromir and his final journey. Several people have told me this is
moving, and since it isn't at all what I usually write, I was quite
pleased with the results. I hope you are, too!

Initially a one-shot, this Work-In-Progress tale was inspired by
Boromir's explanation that only he, Faramir and two other men escaped
the rout at Osgiliath and a private challenge from a friend to write a
story showing an LOTR canon character from the point of view of a
silent "spear carrier". I wondered who the other two men were and
decided that one of these men was his former squire, Daeron (my OC).
This is the story of his growing up in the years before the Ring War
under the influence of the Steward's family, particularly his hero,
Lord Boromir, and becoming a soldier of Gondor. Additionally, I
thought it was time to give at least a few of those "silent spear
carriers" a voice.

Smials) and covers the same time period (immediately after the
Scouring) but from Merry's POV. This was my second fic.

Left Behind (28): Elanor

(http://entropyhouse.com/elanor/leftbehind.html)
Teen, Reason for Rating: This story includes some scenes of violence
which might be upsetting to children but can certainly be tolerated by
teens. They include Merry's remembrance of Boromir's death, his
account of Eowyn's heroism, a confrontation with the Shadow, and
Faramir's remembrance of his mother's rather shocking death and its
aftermath. No gore or torture.

The story of Merry and Faramir's meeting in the Houses of Healing.
When a quiet introduction and heartfelt conversation between
convalescents becomes a harrowing confrontation with the Shadow and
some staggering memories long repressed by the House of Stewards,
Merry and Faramir forge a solid alliance and a bond of understanding
and friendship that sees them through the last critical days of the
War of the Ring.

This Other Ficlet focuses of the death of Boromir through the eyes of
not just someone who witnessed it, but through the eyes of a friend:
Meriadoc. It shows the pain he felt in watching a friend of his die,
and how he feels that Boromir is the true definition of what a hero
is. Because Boromir didn't just ride in and save the day; he died for
them.

This was for Marigold's Challenge 38  to write a gap-filler. I
decided that there are far more gaps in the film than the book, so I
chose filmverse. This is the scene where Pip finds Merry on the
battlefield and explains how on Middle-earth he got him back to the
City and eventually onto the back of Éomer's horse. A gap that really
needed filling!

(http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4572)
Teen, Reason for Rating: The story contains no overt violence,
however, as it deals with the emotional trauma associated with war and
the potential loss of friends and family, it seemed safest to give it
a teen rating.
