Of the many things Bilbo Baggins found on his quest, this plot shop bag is the most precious of all. Sometimes we all need a little help with writing. For some people, their skill comes from developing characters. For others, plots are a second nature. And for some, the most fun is the writing itself. Inside these pages you will find numerous plot bunnies, ideas that the writers in question simply don't have the time or energy to write themselves. And so, they're here for you to try if you'd like!

Pippin Took x Diamond of Long Cleeve "The Shire will need heroes. Diamond knows she isn't one, but in dark times, even the smallest, least respectable hobbits must take a stand." * * * * Adamanda, known to most Shirefolk as Diamond, disliked her responsibilities as a daughter of the North-Tooks. Many even of her own family had forgotten from whence they came; the blood of the Bullroarer ran in her veins. It should've been no surprise that her adventurous spirit put even most of the Tooks to shame. But not Peregrin. When Pippin Took goes missing from the Shire, Diamond is determined to find him and scold him for not taking her with him wherever he decided to run off to. But it might not be so simple. The Shire will need heroes. Diamond knows she isn't one, but in dark times, even the smallest, least respectable hobbits must take a stand. And perhaps when Pippin returns, she'll have stories to put his own adventures to shame. ~•~•~•~ This story takes some minor inspiration from Lord of the Rings Online, in addition to the book material. Go play. It's amazing. To my consistent readers: this is my solemn promise that it isn't a tragedy. Even I need a break from writing those this time!

UNDERGOING REWRITE AUGUST 2021 Fëanoriel Chronicles Book 5 - * - * - YEAR 51 FOURTH AGE After impulsive heroics at the Second Battle of the Pelennor, Aderthon, nephew of King Elessar through Elrohir, is bound to a First Age ring of power that keeps his spirit bound to Arda and sundered from the Undying Lands. Hope is in short supply for him in the months that follow. With Orodruin dormant, none know how to destroy it other than to seek for the ruins of the fortress of Morgoth, Utumno, where some of the forges may still be lit. But no one knows where to find them. When a mysterious elf arrives in Minas Anor claiming he can guide them, for a price, a quest is set to travel to the East to seek the ruins of Utumno. A fellowship of seven is chosen to keep Aderthon safe, both from the outside world and from himself. - * - NEW EXCERPT - * - Ironic. Fate, doom, seemed to truly love to damn Fëanor's line to atonement for an oath ill-sworn. He had Lady Lúthien's blood as well. Was her part in Sauron's downfall catching up with her descendants through his ring? Movement beyond the Ring of Berúthiel tore his thoughts away. The two young men, both singled out of their training with the Citadel Guard as prime candidates for the Red Company had stood back up tall. Aderthon couldn't help flashing them a small smirk. He took a quick drink. Moving back over to their large, packed dirt circle, he twisted his wrist, Galmegil glinting golden red in the dawn. He didn't train his recruits with blunt swords. Neither his, nor theirs. The Red Company took only the best. It would always take only the best. Either they controlled themselves enough to neither harm nor be harmed, or they did not belong. Perhaps the Doom of Mandos hung over them. Perhaps they had no hope of finding a way to destroy this accursed ring. But as the recruits, Berenor and Malrin, stood ready to oppose him without hesitation, Aderthon just nodded. They would just have to do without hope, then.

Amazing cover made by @Stars_Alight "If Boromir is to come to life threatening harm, then you will take the blows meant for him without hesitance. If Boromir is to be attacked on his journey, then you shall die in his stead. Is this understood, Soldier?" "......Yes, my lord." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boromir has been sent to The Last Homely House in the West (Rivendell) to represent Gondor in The Council of Elrond. To discuss the fate of the One Ring. And even though Steward Denthor is unwilling to be parted from his 'Loyal Son', his need to possess the One Ring is greater. And yet, there is no one else Denthor trusts to successfully take up this task for him... So to kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes, Denthor orders a guard to accompany Boromir on his journey to Rivendell, to act as his 'human shield'. But just who is this guard, who always keeps his helm low over his face? His identity is one Boromir will be forced to discover for himself before the very end...
