Summary
refers to natural or instinctual affection, such as the love of a parent towards offspring
Faramir finds himself falling ill, at first with only a minor cough. And then with flower petals crawling up from his lungs and threatening to choke him. Hanahaki is a rare and fatal illness, caused by the intense feeling of unrequited love. Faced with the prospect of death at his unworthiness, Faramir struggles to think of someone he's so deeply in love with that it could cause this.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic makes the Hanahaki disease feel like it was created *for* Faramir — such a brilliant take on his character and the ways in which he loves. A tragic ending but immensely worth it.

Summary

Bookmarker's Notes
A realistic take on what would've happened if the Ring ended up with Legolas. Very gripping! Note: the conclusion of this story has not yet been published. Still, a very good read.

Summary
Frodo grasped Pippin's wrist, bracketed by Sam and Merry. Moving as one, the four bounded together to form a pack of rabbits, slipping to and fro between the building battle. Merry, instinctively, pelted a large rock at a Warg's eye with a cry as it came too close — it reared its ugly head, falling in line for Aragorn's Andrúil to pierce it through.
'Good aim,' he panted, carding the hair back from his eyes, 'We shall make you a slingshot yet.'
'A bow may suit him!' Came Legolas' bird-song call from above. His shadow spun a swift curvet against the coming dark, silver hair gleaming with the last vestiges of marigold skies. 'Alas, we could bear another archer!'
'You would want that, wouldn't you?' Gimli shouted.
---
The Company are ambushed by a clever pack of Wargs. Legolas does not know this woods well enough, until he does.

Summary
"I was just thinking that you aren't talking much."
"...I'm talking to you now, aren't I?"
"You are," Pippin admits. "But... you're not really saying anything, if you understand what I mean."
The quest is over, and Merry is home, standing a whole foot taller than when he left. But with Frodo gone and Pippin coming of age, Merry isn't sure how he fits into anything anymore.

A collection of the sweetest tales revolving around Boromir and the Hobbits. Personally, I would read Take Them As Was Willing by Baylor beforehand, as a certain quote comes back up (+ I'm also a big fan of that fic and I think everyone should read it)

Summary
Saruman believes that Isildur's Heir is carrying the ring, so he sends his orcs to capture the Men of the Fellowship. Aragorn and Boromir are taken prisoner at Parth Galen and brought to Orthanc. In the days that follow, the two men forge a friendship that endures through torture, war, blood, betrayal and the trials of kingship.
This is an AU that picks up at the final scene of the Fellowship of the Ring movie, then takes off on a course roughly parallel to the two later books.
Rated Mature for violence.

Bookmarker's Notes
"But when the orcs came, it was Boromir who fought for us. When the bridge in Moria collapsed, he picked us up and jumped across the gap. When the avalanche buried us..."
"Merry, none of us doubts Boromir's bravery. We all value him, and we all wish we could undo what has been done."
"Maybe. But to all of you he's simply Aragorn's steward, Denethor's son, Gondor's soldier - always second to someone or something." Merry lifted streaming, furious eyes to Gandalf's face. "Not to me, Gandalf. He may not be a king, but he's the greatest man I know, and my friend, and he's not second to anyone."
A *fantastic* series exploring Boromir's relationships, his new role as Steward, and how he adapts to life with a debilitating injury. To all the Boromir & Aragorn + Boromir & Merry enthusiasts out there, do yourself a favour and read this!

"Because we're their best friends. If anyone knows how to get them to confess their feelings, it's us."
"We're like their parents," Lady Pauline argued. "Who else is a better matchmaker than their parents?"
"Their best friends," Horace supplied.
Eyes were narrowed, challenge aroused in the air. Halt is slowly face-palming.
"Fine." The elegant courier said archly. "We'll see who gets them together first."

In which Will and Alyss still haven't date after Macindaw and Halt, Pauline, Cassandra and Horace decided to intervene.

Summary
Apprentices, Pritchard has found, were like stray cats. From the day you open your door to your first, you're doomed to take in every one that comes your way.
Exiled from Araulen on falsified charges, Pritchard arrives in Dun Kilty in search of a respectable job and a place to grow old in peace. A cabin at the edge of the woods, a woodkeeper's job with an occasional band of bandits to send home — what better place for a retired ex-Ranger?
Except the dark and dangerous eyes of the Crown Prince of Clonmel never seem to leave him alone, and Pritchard grows determined to see beyond their shadows.
Apprentices. What made him think it was a good idea?
