• Healing Time by Gwynnyd

  Lissa asked me to write a followup to Fell Memories for her birthday "drabble" - she gets a series of 12 to mirror the other story. The story so far: Aragorn, on his way out of Gondor after the Corsair raid, was captured by Nazgul and casually tortured as he was being brought to Dol Guldur. He did not reveal who he was, even though hard pressed. He escaped in a way that, I hope, was reasonable and not superhuman. He swam Anduin to get away and ended up on the borders of Lorien asking for help.

• The Blessing by Pearl Took

  Story by Golden and Pearl Took. 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?
