Ring Around the Merry
by  aelfgifu
Rated  R for  Some Ring-induced slash and violence.

An AU bookverse Lord of the Rings fanfiction in which Merry holds the Ringbearer captive at Crickhollow "for the salvation of the Shire," with baleful results for all.
Merry will be corrupted, Pippin will be conflicted, Frodo will start to break, Sam will try to save him, and each of the hobbits will be challenged and changed in unexpected ways. Almost never-ending story. STILL a WIP! I still have to read it all but lots of tormented Frodo and the infamous origin of Evil!Merry.  Bizzare! VERY AU!

The Drunkard of Bag End
by jodancingtree Rated PG

The malevolent voice still lingered in his mind, over a year after the Ring went into the Fire, till Frodo felt he must be driven mad by it. Could he buy a few hours of peace, with a bottle of brandy?

Another Way of Leaving
by jodancingtree  Rated PG

If Frodo had not been given the choice to go to Valinor, what then? His wounds are not healing, and the shadow left by the Ring torments him. Is death his only escape, or might there be some other way? Suicidal depression.

October Reckoning

by Willow-wode  Rated PG 13

One of the first and angstiest post quest Frodo stories I ever read. Heartbreaking and beautiful. Somewhat AU.

Ringbearer

by Willow-wode  Rated R for medical nastiness

Just how did Elrond remove the splinter of the Morgal blade from Frodo's shoulder. Ouch! Very dark and very angsty.

Caliban
by Willow-wode Rated R Character death.
Darkest Sammath Naur ever.  But nobody writes dark fics like Willow.

Swallowing Sorrows
by Ariel Rated PG

Major weeper by our own angst maven. Sad, sad Frodo. Post quest. Hankies required.

The Gift of Iluvatar
by Ariel Rated PG

From the fall at Mount Doom to Sam's waking at Ithilien. Best Frodo waking in Ithilian ever.




Hiding From the Healers
by LilyBaggins
Rated G Gen

Parody of all those Frodo healer fics wherein Frodo tries to elude his caretakers without much success. You have to scroll down the page but there are lots of good stories on Lily's site.

Havoc in Hollin
by Shirebound et al.

What happens when a bunch of Hobbit lovers collaborate on a funny fic? Look and see. Full of giggles.

Did I Say Bosom?
by Baylor Rated PG

Mostly Merry but all the Hobbits are there. Merry develops an appreciation of being short in Rivendell whilst being surrounded by tall beautiful Elven women.
Funny, funny, funny!

Irreverence
by Aratlithiel Rated G

Frodo and Pippin squabbling and being silly cousins. Adorable and very funny.

Birthright

by Baylor and Oselle

Not any Hobbits at all. An amazing Faculty/X Files Sci-fi series following a traumatized, Rainman-like Casey and Intrepid Zeke in the aftermath of the events in The Faculty. Only in this version Casey did not become a renowned alien killer but lost most of his mind and has become one of the best and most heartbreaking partially autistic heros of all time.The baddies from X-files as well as Scully have made guest appearances.  So well-written by these two amazing ladies that it really ought to be published. An ongoing WIP. I love it!
