Schrödinger's Hobbit by Ach-Sss-No (ItsTheBlob)
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
17 Oct 2022

Summary
"I heard the monster was some kind of frog that cries a lot. Someone told me he'd fed it."
"Fed it?"
"Yes, he said the Ringbearer brought it back with him, and now it's staying in a guest house and it eats raw meat, and it stays in the dark all the time and screams if you open a window to let in the sunlight, and if you bring it water to splash in it'll tell you a riddle. I am certain he invented all of it. He thinks he's quite special now he's an errand boy in the palace. But, as we were telling absurd tales..."
Gollum stepped out into the street behind them. "There was no monster," he said shrilly, "no! No, no- don't talk about things you know nothing about- it is silly! Foolish!"
"I'm sorry?" one of the teens said, turning to blink at him, and another said: "Who are you?"
Gollum had no answer. How could he answer? What would he say? He squirmed, and said gollum in his throat, and turned on his heel to scurry away.
---
There was a third hobbit on Mt. Doom that day. But no one likes to talk about that, now do they, precious?(AU. Gollum made a different choice at Cirith Ungol. And, awkwardly enough, he's not dead, somehow, so, uh, now what?)

i have seen your face before (it was etched into the sky) by PouringOutTheSun
Fandoms: Stardew Valley (Video Game)
12 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Rory never really has known what to do with herself. Having wasted three years of her life on a college education that she always knew she was going to hate, she suddenly makes the decision to take over her late grandfather's farm.
The valley the farm is in has never been like the rest of the world. There, the sun burns brighter, the water is clearer and the flowers bloom more colourfully than anywhere else. It has always felt like magic. And with Rory constantly feeling one step out of sync with the rest of the world, it could be exactly what she needs to get herself back on track.
She just hadn't expected an actual wizard to appear at her doorstep, positively seething at the fact that she had not responded to his letter.

A crippling accident forces everyone to see Kitty as more than just the family fool - but how can she win this new fight, when she cannot conquer the old? D/E, J/B, C/?, fluff and scandal. COMPLETE! Now adding BONUS CHAPTERS at the end, because I'm enjoying writing the characters too much to end it just because the actual plot has finished. XD

“What did you learn?”
She takes her time before she answers. It’s a non-answer, really. But still, her few words speak volumes. “I will never love again.”

Summary
Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.
And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.
