Summary
In the months after Sauron's defeat, a village on the outskirts of Gondor prepares for the winter as best it can. Their crop yield was poor, trade remains disrupted, and they aren't hunters by profession. The world was saved, or so they were told; but heroism can't fill your stomach.
In the mountains nearby, some unlikely settlers find themselves in a position to offer charity.
(I'm obsessed with the idea of redeemable/free orcs rn)

Free To Good Home by Ach-Sss-No (ItsTheBlob)

Summary
The good citizens of Minas Tirith got to keep one Halfling as a permanent resident after the War of the Ring. They did not get to choose which one, precious.
Latest story: The messenger smelled of sweat. “I have been sent to convey to you a royal invitation. King Elessar is convening a small dinner gathering some days hence. As the final hand in the destruction of Isildur’s Bane, you would be most welcome as an honored guest.”
Aragorn had pulled this sort of stunt before. What was he playing at? He didn’t want Sméagol at his parties. No one did. Sméagol would do nothing at a party but take up a chair, be ugly, make nasty comments and stink. Aragorn kept inviting him knowing he would refuse. Expecting him to refuse. Wanting him to refuse. Making him refuse.
Sméagol showed his fangs in a lopsided grin. “An honored guesst, he says? Then we must go, mustn’t we? Tell the King we will be there, early, with bellses on if he likes.”

Summary
(Now with illustrations! See Ch. 2)
"Bargain, what bargain? We've never made a bargain with any Spider, no precious! No bargain!" Silly thing that he was, he thought She wanted the Precious, and that was why he was so frightened.
The Spider was unperturbed. "Mortal creature, thou hast asked thrice for leave to rest thyself in My chambers. Thou hast brought Me meat in return. I accept thy bargain, and it will hold. Thou mayest bring Me meat, and in exchange thou wilt have thy rest in My chambers in safety. No Orc nor Man shall trouble thee here. I do not desire thy flesh, for thine own flesh is sour and desiccated. But if thou dost not give unto Me with both hands, thy life will be forfeit and thy head I will dash upon the rocks."
Now it was clear that she did not want the Precious, but something older and bigger was going on than Gollum ought to be dealing with. He screamed again and it was some time before he left off screaming. The Spider did not seem to care.

Summary
When in doubt, it was best to be polite. "Indeed, I am a friend, a trustworthy friend, who will do you no harm. It grieves me to have disturbed the peace of your evening," said Gríma with a deep bow.
Sméagol answered in a shrill cackle. "What pretty manners he has, o yes! How nice!"
"I thank you. Yes... even amidst mockery and derision, one can keep one's manners."
"O yes, yes, Sméagol has nice mannerses too, doesn't he?"
"The nicest manners I have ever seen in one of his kind," said Gríma.

Rainy Season by the_ninth_house_glared
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
14 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
The rainy season was supposed to have ended by now, but the layers of greenish clouds over the city did not abide by any fixed calendar. The patch of damp on the bedroom ceiling increased slowly but steadily, and Camilla monitored it grimly every morning as though it were an encroaching army. They had tried keeping the windows open for ventilation, but it had meant wrestling Nona into more layers after Palamedes had noticed the consistent bluish tinge to her skin.

Dreaming Dead, Waking World by enigmaticEditor
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
12 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
On the one hand, death and destruction and the horrific awkwardness of being in constant proximity to your estranged ex-something. On the other, life and construction and the mortifying ordeal of being known, and loved, and having to figure out how to exist in a world that was never your own.
Through it all, Gideon and Harrow have each other, willingly or not.
Or, nine mostly-critical scenes from the version of Alecto the Ninth I have envisioned, and nine scenes of wildly varying importance from the “post-canon” of the same.

Summary
Dulcinea Septimus had fought tooth and nail all her life to keep living. Now she was very much dead, and she intended to stay that way.
That wasn't even the problem. The problem was that she had some unfinished business, in classic ghost fashion. The problem was that she had been refused the ending of her choice, and the people she had wanted to meet her ending alongside, her hands in theirs.
The problem was that she was horny for revenge, and given the slightest opportunity, she was going to make that everyone else's problem.

“Miranda,” Shepard said reasonably, “I appreciate the gesture, but I’m pretty sure what I said was that we’d love to have the Normandy crew visit us on Rannoch eventually.”
“You know. One at a time?” Tali added.
“You took too long to organize it,” was Miranda's sparkling counterargument. “Don’t worry about it, Tali. Really. I have everything under control.”
