Sometime even Rosie Gamgee has to be reminded that asking for help is not a weakness and that beside being a mother she also still is a lover. (A small offspring of my tale Before I go to sleep, but with the main focus on Rosie and Sam Gamgee)

These three little pieces were written for a friend; they follow the married life of Samwise Gamgee from the first morning after the wedding to the later years of age... with a good dose of melancholy, humorous tenderness and apple pie.

This was written for a Starter-challenge by Aratlithiel. She wrote the first thirteen paragraphs, and the rest was left to my imagination. And here we have Merry, wildly attracted by a pretty girl during a visit in Hobbiton. But it needs some patience, a dance and a lot of music until he gets what he wants... (If readers should recognize a scene from my AU-tale Before I go to sleep - that is purely on purpose, I assure you.*grins*)

In the year 1422, one year after Frodo Baggins has left for the Grey Havens, those who loved the Ringbearer still struggle with the loss of him. And when Meriadoc Brandybuck is sent with an errand to the midwife of Hobbiton, he makes an unexpected discovery...

This tale is part of my Before I go to sleep-universe, and it was written because of a small incident that slipped into the epilogue and begged to be explained properly.

A heartfelt Thankyou to Ariel who is the most wonderful beta anyone could wish for.

This came into being because of a humorous (and rather naughty) exchange between Aratlithiel and me; I wrote a short snippet, nothing more than a paragraph - and then it refused to leave me alone. And here it is: A Frodo/Lily-tale from the universe of my story Before I go to sleep, starring the master of Bag End, a young midwife and a bottle of elvish wine...

Finduilas of Dol Amroth was only married to Denethor for twelve years before she died, and people said that she "withered in the guarded city, as a flower of the seaward vales, set upon a barren rock". This is a tale about her longing, her sorrow and her loss. (Rated R because of some disturbing moments)

This is a tale about the blessing of bakery, spices and... erh... lovemaking, settled in the universe of my tale Before I go to sleep. It is pre-quest, and therefore mostly light-hearted and cheerful. Read and enjoy - and no, I don't have the recipe for Frodo Baggins' cinnamon rolls.*g*

This was written while struggling with the dark chapters of Before I go to sleep. I simply decided that I needed some fluff to cheer myself up, and therefore I hereby offer a "brighter" pre-quest Frodo/Lily-tale (with just a tad of angst), two nights, a day and a dream. And no, it is not a PWP; I actually managed to smuggle some plot in. *grins*

After the attack of the Nazgûl on Weathertop Merry tries to keep Frodo warm (as he has been told by Strider), and he remembers a dramatic incident in his childhood - which gives him a sudden idea how to fulfill his task...

As always I highly appreciate your reviews!

This was written as a mathom for my friends on my birthday - especially for those who read and love my WIP Before I go to sleep. It's a small glimpse into the future, after the Ring War is over and the Ringbearer is gone. But the woman he loved is still there...
