• A Little Night Music

  This This fic is not my usual fare. It was written as the response to a challenge a few friends and I made to write the romances of married couples in M-e - something most people avoid like the plague. As I was the only hobbit writer in the group, I naturally (and kicking and screaming a little bit) took the hobbits Sam and Rosie. I don't usually respond well to challenges, but I sort of liked the way this came out. It's not got the same kind of heat as my Frodo stuff, but I hope you will enjoy it anyway.

• Promises

  *A star as bright as Frodo Baggins should not be taken from this world without leaving something of himself behind.* ----- As long as I could remember, it has always struck me as the greatest tragedy of the LOTRs that neither Frodo nor Bilbo, the two most exceptional hobbits of the Shire, ever had an heir. I know many people have written stories like this, but this is my take on how Frodo might have left a part of himself behind in Middle Earth. AU, though does not contradict canon, OC, some R rated sexual material - but how else does one get an heir, hmmmm? Please consider.
