• Thain by Lindelea

  Paladin Took was a farmer's son; his grandfather had left the Great Smials, renouncing the life of the Great Smials Tooks, along with the succession to the Thainship. He was never meant to be Thain, no more than was Bucca of the Marish... New "Pippin" chapter posted (along with Frodo, Sam and Marigold) in honour of Larner's birthday. Pippin, temporarily blinded after a mishap, recovers at Bag End.

• Jewels by Lindelea

  From the "Scouring of the Shire" to the Grey Havens, and beyond... because the original Story ended much too abruptly. Originally published in March 2003 elsewhere; revised chapters are being posted here as beta comments are incorporated.

• A Took by Any Other Name by Lindelea

  Pippin goes against all convention in the naming of his son. (Chapter 5 is tenatively rated "R" due to the graphic nature of the material, related to capture by Orcs. All other chapters are PG-13 or below.) Warnings: violence, character death. Oops! Forgot to change this! Final chapter added!

• Flames by Lindelea

  Ferdibrand Took, brave, bold, but in disgrace because of an incident in his past, helps the Tooks to stand against the ruffians while the Thain's son is gone away, perhaps never to return... (note on rating: most of this story is G-rated, but there are a couple of chapters containing violent material, hence the overall PG-13)

• All That Glisters by Lindelea

  In the year King Elessar rode north, to dwell for a time by Lake Evendim, word of the Thain's treasure-hoard was heard beyond the Bounds of the Shire, and trouble followed. (From Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice, II. vii: "All that glisters is not gold; / Often have you heard that told. / Many a man his life hath sold / But my outside to behold. / Gilded tombs do worms enfold.") Thanks to all who've taken the time to read and comment.

• Something Wicked This Way Comes by Werecat

  A former corsair captain who resents the king, a strange man who speaks eerie rhymes and their meeting in Umbar during a night of the early years of the Fourth Age. Some disturbing subjects implied, but nothing graphic. A Mouth of Sauron story.

• Erased by Werecat

  It is written of Beruthiel: “And her name was erased from the Book of the Kings." Her cats thought otherwise. Set after "Nine Lives" and "In Umbar, at the docks", but can be read alone. Rating for a couple of somewhat gory paragraphs.

• In Umbar, at the docks by Werecat

  In Umbar, at the docks, looks can be deceiving. A tale of beggars, queens and cats. Sort of sequel to "Nine Lives" but stands well on its own.
