Summary
Maya Banerjee, 27, Croydon native. Messy flat, sketchbook addict, perpetually single. One quiet Sunday she falls asleep watching The Fellowship of the Ring… and wakes up in Bree, in Peregrin Took’s body.
She knows the movies (mostly). She does not know how to be a hobbit.
Between mistaken identities, cultural confusion, and the inconvenient pull of a certain ranger’s gaze - who is absolutely, definitely, destined for Arwen… right? - Maya finds herself tangled in a story she only half-remembers, and one she may not want to leave.

Following the end of the Ring War, it comes to the attention of his friends that perhaps Legolas is more troubled than he lets on. They rush him home, and hope he can be saved before his only option is to sail west.

Summary
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli sent a boat down the river, one that held the body of a friend, of a man who had fought bravely in the defence of the defenseless, and who had fallen to a great number of foes. The boat had tumbled over the Falls of Rauros, never to be seen again... or so they had believed.
Days later, Merry and Pippin are awaiting the return of Treebeard in the middle of Fangorn Forest when a familiar vessel washes up on the shore of the river running through their comfortable glade.

Summary
Aragorn knew the cadence of her breathing now. Knew when it changed. Knew when she did not sleep. He told himself it was no more than sense—tactical, necessary—for the road ahead, for a leader to mark what might fail. Yet it did not sit in him as a thought alone. At times it came as a stir low in his chest, a softening that had no rightful place there. He had no right—not to dwell on the way she bore hurt without complaint, not to recall how she had shaken beneath his grip, not to remember the weight of her against him when pain had broken through her composure.
He reminded himself that she was his friend’s sister, that she had chosen the road willingly, not as one of his rangers; and yet his mind kept placing her within his care as surely as he placed the hobbits, because that was what he did: he measured danger, he counted lives, he set himself between the vulnerable and the dark.
~~~
Halbarad's sister, Elnúmen, is a fierce ranger caught between her love for her brother and her duty to her captain and king. Will she realise what she feels for her chieftain before it is too late?An Aragorn / OFC Tenth walker story that follows the books!

Summary
The air outside the Prancing Pony didn't smell like the Bree Frodo remembered. It was sharper, cleaner, lacking the heavy scent of industrialized soot that had begun to creep in during the darker days of the War.
"Mr. Frodo," Sam whispered, his voice trembling. He adjusted the straps of his oversized overalls, his lion-like tail twitching nervously behind him. The tuft of golden fur at the end flicked against his calves. "The stars... the stars are all wrong for October. And the gatekeeper... he looked like a lad. A lad who’s been dead twenty years.
......
............
......
"Bilbo," Sam breathed, his brown eyes watering. "It’s him. It’s really him.""He looks so... small," Pippin whispered. "And look at his tail! It’s so fluffy. Since was his tail so fluffy”
Frodo watched his uncle,young, vibrant, and completely unaware of the Ring, the fire, or the burden that would one day break his spirit. A fierce, protective instinct rose in Frodo’s chest. He couldn't let Bilbo go through this alone. Not this time.
"We have to get on that quest," Frodo said, his voice firm.

Summary
Here is something Everettian quantum mechanics is very clear on, no matter what the kids on TikTok tell you: crossing from one universe to another would be very bad for both of them. The universe is kind of supposed to be a closed-off thing, and when it turns into an open thing, it has a tendency to spill its organs into the nothingness between worlds. We wouldn't know if this happened until it was too late. Elves, who are much more sensitive to changes in the fabric of the universe, can tell. What they don't know is who caused it, how bad the damage is, or if Damien, the accidental tenth walker, is secretly the most powerful evil being they've encountered yet. (Spoiler: he's not.)
This is my attempt to semi-scientifically explain how, within the constraints of Tolkien's soft magic system, a tenth walker from our world might cross over. I'm being as book-compliant as possible. Expect a lot of messed up effects of magic, realistic representation of the tenth walker experience (0/5 do not recommend), and the extreme effects of the quote "elves are terrific; they beget terror" on my psyche and writing. I have 11 chapters backlogged and all of them planned so you can expect this fic to be finished!

Summary
Cordelia, youngest child and only daughter of Denethor II, has spent twenty-one years in the White City. She has been a good daughter. She has tried, at least, to be a good daughter.
Now she is betrothed to Théodred — the prince of Rohan, whom she barely knows — and her brother is riding to Rivendell. Her father looks at her the way he looks at everything that is not Boromir. And somewhere in the north, a man with no kingdom and no name she yet knows is walking toward a war that will change the world as she knows it.
(Or: a story about leaving home, losing everything, and finding the kind of love the old stories never quite prepare you for).

Summary
They say you can’t walk into Mordor. Veronica never meant to walk into the story at all. When a tragic accident sends the English teacher—and devoted Faramir enthusiast—tumbling from her world into Middle-earth, she is given a new name, Nicariel, and a dangerous secret to keep. Armed with foreknowledge of the War of the Ring and a scholar’s love for the gentle Captain Faramir, she believes she knows how the tale must unfold.
Her plans shatter at the Council of Elrond. To steer fate away from disaster, she exposes Boromir’s hidden temptation, branding herself both seer and adversary. Forced together on the Fellowship’s desperate quest, Nicariel and Boromir clash in a relentless battle of wills—each a living insult to the other’s deepest convictions.
But the road to Mordor strips away certainties. The noble Faramir is her dream made flesh, yet it is the proud, flawed, and infuriatingly compelling Boromir who challenges her at every turn, forcing her to question the very narrative she swore to protect.
Condemned for Wanting Both is a sweeping, emotionally charged fantasy about destiny, desire, and the cost of rewriting legend. The fate of Middle-earth is written. The fate of her heart is not.
