    Summary

    “Rosie Cotton dancing,” Sam said, “and Pippin and Merry stealing the fireworks early. And you-” his voice died in his throat. He could feel Frodo’s eyes on him, but Sam kept his gaze steady on the far-off horizon. Somewhere, he hoped, the armies of Rohan and Gondor and all the kingdoms of men were gathered. He hoped that he and Frodo hadn’t been too late. Sam hoped a lot of useless things.

    “Your laughter, Mister Frodo.” Sam’s voice was rough from smoke and the building tears in the back of his throat. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember the sound of Frodo’s laugh. The shape of his smile- how it formed dimples in his cheeks and made his eyes crinkle up into little crescents. It had been so long, the memories felt faint and dreamy, like something Sam had imagined long ago. Once, a lifetime past, Frodo’s smile was Sam’s favorite thing in the widest world. More beautiful than any flower he could grow in the garden, brighter than any of Gandalf’s fireworks cracking open in the sky. “I loved to hear you laugh, sir,” Sam whispered, and he felt a tear trace down his filthy cheek.

    Summary

    Frodo died on Weathertop, leaving Sam to become the Ringbearer and finish the quest.

    But even so, he didn’t leave Sam alone. This other Frodo, though, who has cold skin and white eyes and shies away from the sun...something’s not quite right about him.

    He’s sick.

    And since Sam’s the only one he’s willing to accept help from, they decide it’s time to give the two of them a little shove along.

    Summary

    "I spent all my hope on the wish that we'd both return home, Sam, alive and well. And I left none for the dream that you'd return my affections."

    Sam let out something like a sob and a laugh. "Begging your pardon, Mr. Frodo, but you are a right fool."

    Summary

    The Ring has begun to speak to Frodo. It tells him terrible things, and gives him nightmares and day-mares. It forces itself into his thoughts and tells him of his guilt, of not using the Ring for power. It desires to weaken him, to hurt him until he falls and fails, and passes the Ring onto one more corruptible. The Ring leads Frodo to self harm, to mutilate his body to serve it and to pay his Debt.

    He can feel it. He can feel the Ring's hands on his shoulders and back. He can feel it pushing, pushing with no force, pinching with no hands, seeing with no eyes. He learns truly how painful bearing the Ring can be.

    Sam tries to help him, oh, he does. It's a long road to recovery, but Sam will stay by Frodo's side, kissing his shaking hands. The urges only get stronger as Frodo approaches Mordor. Recovery is not easy, oftentimes more difficult than submitting to the Ring's wretched power. But he tries. No, they try. They try together, fighting the Ring's chokehold on Frodo's brain, wresting it from control.

    And then, together, after all is said and done, they are left with burns and scars, to gently treat. Those of physicality and nightmare, to face. Together.

    (Indefinitely on Hold)

    Summary

    Frodo thinks he knows himself very well. He's committed to being just like his uncle: wise, strange, and unattached. Though, the company of his gardener and closest friend is always welcome. Frodo tries not to think too deeply about why that is.

    Sam does know himself very well. He's accepted that he and Frodo are just too different in status for anything to happen between them. He's not even so sure that they're officially friends.

    Bilbo, as always, knows more than he should. He finds the whole thing very funny.

    Summary

    Years after the destruction of the One, Sam and Frodo have found themselves drifted apart. But after efforts are made to bridge the gap between them, the pair find themselves wrapped up in a sticky affair. Sam is caught between two worlds: his comfortable family with Rosie Cotton, or the ride-high camping life with his needy companion who can’t seem to get his fill from one high altitude coition every other month.

    —
    Inspired by Brokeback mountain (both the short story & movie). Still in the LOTR universe, not meant to be a crossover. Though I've shifted Sam's lingo and disposition to be a little more in-line with British country cowboys.

    Some lines are taken directly from the short story. See if you can spot them!

    Berry-picking. It was nothing more than that. But when Mr. Bilbo handed him the basket at the door of Bag End and asked it of Sam, Frodo appeared at his side, had taken his gardener by the arm, then said with a gentle squeeze and excited breath: Come, Sam, I know a spot.

    Summary

    “Jean—! Ah, maldita sea, stop!” Javiera hissed, though her hands were still clinging desperately to Jean’s shoulders, her back arching against the ground. “We cannot just… just rut in the middle of camp like two cats in heat! Anyone could see us!”
    Jean growled softly, her lips dragging along the smooth line of Javiera’s jaw. “Don’t care.” She punctuated the words with another slow, hard grind of her hips. “They should’ve gone to bed earlier anyway.”
    -
    The campfire burns low, whiskey is cheap, and insults fly fast between Jean Marston and Javiera Escuella. What starts as playful teasing and roughhousing turns into something far messier—and far hotter—beneath Jean’s tent canvas.

    Summary

    [was named From Hunger You call]

    John thinks back to the relief he felt when he saw Javier's face up there back on that mountain, when he felt he was going to die and Javier had appeared like a saving angel. Now Javier is looking at him coldly and John can't remember what it feels like to be kissing him – so much has happened since.

    "Should've let me die back then if you were gonna look at me like that," he hisses, harshly despite himself, bitterness seeping through his tone.

    Something shifts in Javier's gaze and his fingers tighten around John's wrist. John can't exactly make out his expression — his vision is spotty and blurry and Javier's face is ever changing and unclear.

     

    or

    The ferry job goes terribly, horribly wrong. Everything is a mess and John and Javier are left to reckon what that entails for the both of them.
