Title: Winds Over Eriador
Author: Claudia
Pairing: various (main: Frodo/Faramir, Frodo/Aragorn, Pippin/Faramir(unrequited)...)
Rating: series varies
Summary: note. This is a crossover fic (sort of, since it all takes place in Middle Earth with Tolkien characters) between LOTR and Gone with the Wind. This is such complete crack -- but I'm having a blast writing it! (I love all you enablers, by the way!)
Note: Even though this starts out from Pippin’s POV and will have sections from his POV, it will probably mostly be from Frodo's POV (duh.).
Warnings: HUGE AU scenarios (if canon is dear to you, I would suggest not reading), more mixing between the Shire and the Outside than canon suggests, etc.. Future mpreg (those sections will be well-labeled for those who wish to avoid that). As for the hobbits' ages? I'm going movie!canon here, with Frodo and Merry and Pippin all being about the same age.

This chapter begins from Frodo's POV and ends with Pippin's POV...

Summary: In the autumn after Bilbo leaves, Frodo meets a Ranger of the Northlands in the Shire. AU.
Warning: some schmoop! ;-)

A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk. Little do they know of our long labour for the safekeeping of their borders, and yet I grudge it not.

I apologize for yesterday. For those of you who read this already, thanks for your indulence! I made some minor tweaking changes, adding a few paragraphs here and there.

Title: Under the Starlight: Gossip
Author: Claudia
Rating: G through R (?)
Summary: This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and only just gotten the courage to try -- it will be a tale that goes from pre-quest through post-quest, from a variety of viewpoints. There will be slash, but there will be warnings on slashy chapters so that if slash isn’t your cuppa, you can pass on those chapters. Basically I’m just filling in some gaps in the book and hoping it comes out all right! ;-)
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and make no money from them.
A/N: Though 33 is considered coming of age, I pretty much think hobbits mature at nearly the same rate as humans, albeit just slightly slower. So an 18-year-old hobbit lad to me is maybe like a 15 or 16-year-old, not a wee child (at least in my opinion and for the interest of this story).


Gossip


( Under the Starlight 1/?, G )

Rose Bush, drabble, G


There were always those rose bushes that failed to thrive, no matter what tender care you give to them and no matter how other bushes nearby bloomed under your very same tender care. When that one bush died, I used to pluck the blooms before they shriveled. Sometimes I’d give them to Miss Rose Cotton, but before I’d do that, I’d hold a velvety petal between my stubby fingers and sniff in its perfume.

I saw the pendant Arwen gave him. He does not thrive under the best care. My heart hurts deep inside that he will soon be plucked.

In this series of drabbles:

1. At the End
2. Shadow to Flesh
3. Glass

Shadow to Flesh, Drabble, rated G

The veil has lifted, and the bubbling fire that surrounds them does not burn as deep as other fires. During their last desperate crawl, Sam flickered like a frail shadow at the edge of the fiery eye, and Frodo clung to it, thirsty for that last shred of awareness that things still existed like earth and green hills. Even in the cavern, in which Frodo had hoped to be shielded from the Eye but found it burned more fiercely than ever, that shadow begged him and nearly kept him from claiming. Now shadow is flesh, and Frodo clings to him.

Companion to This drabble: At the End

Early morning drabble offering...rated G


Blue skies and sultry heat, rare for spring in Minas Tirith, Faramir contends. Frodo laughs, and for that brief moment, his old self shines through, and it brings me right back to Bag End, in that time after the daffodils first bloom.

He would stretch, and then he would take a sniff at the air, closing his eyes to fully take it in.

His eyes cloud with pain, and I wonder if he’s just seen what I’ve been fretting about -- that sometimes it’s better to stay in the darkness than to feel so briefly what can never again be.

Okay, I wrote something dark. Or at least I tried... Well, yes. It's pretty dark. You probably shouldn't read if you like stories with happy endings. Or even endings with any hope at all in them.

Title: Foul Heart

Rating: PG13
Summary: AU scenario: What if Faramir had taken the Ring from Frodo?
WARNINGS: dark fic, character death (not Frodo), some violence implied, Ring-influenced character, no happy ending...

Fair speech may hide a foul heart.
Sam, The Two Towers

( Foul Heart, rated PG13 )

Drabble for: cpsings4him

Not LJ cutting because it's rated G, no slash, all audiences:


Frodo held his head and groaned. He buried his face in the pillow. There could be no crueler fate than climbing from under his blankets into the chilly morning.

“No time for that, sir,” Sam said. “Strider wants us up so we can sneak out of Bree.”

“It’s dark. And my head hurts dreadfully.” Frodo managed a rueful smile. “I must have knocked my head when I fell off the table.”

“More than likely it was the ale, Mr. Frodo. It’s stronger here than back home in the Shire.”

Like other things. Frodo fingered the gold band in his pocket.

Title: Hope Found
Author: Claudia
Rating: G
Summary: Frodo and Boromir talk in Rivendell, the night before the council.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and make no money from them.
S/N: Oh, perhaps a bit AU, given that Frodo had never met Boromir pre-council, but it’s mostly book!verse.

Allow me to explain. This story was originally going to be a long WIP that was an AU F/F slash fic. I lost interest in it and could not get the mojo back to continue it. I decided to rework it and make it into a short story (gen) with a different focus. Some of the few of you who might have read that original version may find some paragraphs familiar. Other parts have been changed. And sorry for you Faramir lovers, but Faramir is not in this version.
