In an attempt to be slightly more organized, I am pretty much consolidating my journals and using only my apple_pi I.D. However, when I post a hobbity story or tidbit, I'll be linking over here. Which brings me to this:

Obviously the world is ending, as I am posting - please sit down - het. Hobbit het, Goldilocks Gamgee/Faramir Took. Quite a while back hobbit_smut posted the When Pigs Fly challenge, in which authors were asked to write a story wherein the two characters were antagonistic at the beginning of the story, but ended up in the sack. I started this story then, but could NOT finish it (I swear, the hobbit muses are so fickle), but I was poking at it the other day and thought, What the heck? So here it is. Rated R, rather silly, all characters belong to Tolkien.

When Frogs Grow Fur

Author: maripo5a
Rating: G. Possible F, for FLUFFY!
Characters: Frodo, Merry, Pippin
Warnings: As sweet as you can get, without an actual diabetic coma resulting.
A/N: A set of six itty-bitty hobbit ficlets, 100 - 230 words each. Elvish counting, according to what I could find, is done by twelves. I have made the leap that they might also (as children, particularly) count by sixes, and written accordingly. (Tolkien scholars, be gentle with me. *g*) All anecdotes were inspired by my own hobbitlings, who are occasionally nauseatingly cute. :-)

Author: maripo5a
Pairing: Merry/Pippin
Rating: Hmmm. Mild NC-17, to be safe. (Language, adult situations.)
Disclaimer: Not my characters, not my world. I borrow them with love, and because I can't seem to leave them alone.
A/N: This comedy is dedicated and credited to marigoldg, who basically gave me the entire thing, from start to finish, and trusted me to (ahem) flesh it out. The world of LOTR and the world in general would be poorer without her, and I am so glad to know her. *hugs*

Rating: Mild NC-17
Pairing/s: Frodo/Pippin
Other pairing/s: Merry/Pippin discussed.
Summary: Written for the hobbit_smut "The Weather Outside Is Frightful" Challenge. The prompt was to write a story in which the weather was a factor in bringing together an unusual pairing. I'm not sure how unusual Frodo/Pippin is, but it's plenty different for me. :-)

Rating: PG-13.
Pairing: Merry/Pippin
Disclaimer: Tolkien's heirs and assigns own Middle-earth and all its inhabitants; I just dabble, and claim nothing.
A/N: Written for talechallenge24; posted here for archival purposes. My challenge was: Common theme is Yule. Elements: Heavy frost, a boat, Saradoc. I hope you enjoy it. :-)

Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not my characters, not my world. I only borrow them, and I promise to return them.
A/N: Posted here for archival purposes; written for talechallenge25. :-) My starter was: Write a story including Marigold, at around the time that Sam left, supposedly to walk to Buckland with Frodo and Pippin. Discussion with marigoldg followed, and she shared my belief that Marigold, too, could read, and that it was in fact a special bond between herself and Sam. And so this story was born.

Firstly, thank you so much to whoever nominated me for a Golden Mushroom award - that was an unexpected delight. :-) I'm looking forward to reading through all those lovely stories, not to mention voting. :-)

And secondly... I need a bunny. A porny bunny. A porny Merry/Pippin bunny that involves foodstuffs. All ideas will be considered.

...No, I haven't written my hobbit_smut challenge yet, why do you ask?

*appeals to LJ*

Marigold's talechallenge24 is up, and chock full of hobbity goodness as usual! I have a little slashy ficlet (PG-13 at most, more for language than anything else) over there, too, and I had a fun time writing it. :-) Feel free to check it out.

I've posted a submission, Cold Comfort, to the hobbit_smut "Weather Outside Is Frightful" challenge. It's Frodo/Pippin, post-quest, rated NC-17. Just wanted to crosspost here.
