Back to Middle-earth Month

B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: O66, Shirish, Apothecary Garden, Concerning Hobbits, Food, Story Elements
Format: chaptered story, though it could probably be read on its own.
Genre: drama, family, romance
Rating: PG
Warnings: Fatty's nickname isn't as apt anymore. Although perhaps help is at hand. Also, this is a kissing book, though no more than that, I think.
Characters: Pippin Took, Merry Brandybuck, Estella Bolger, Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger, Rosamunda Took Bolger, Odovacar Bolger 
Pairings: Merry/Estella, Pippin/Diamond (in later chapters)
Creator’s Notes (optional): I didn't expect this to get so long...Also, huge thanks to Dreamflower for her writing of Miss Dora Baggins' Book of Manners which as usual is incredibly helpful and extremely valuable as a research aid :)  
Summary: The spring after the Travellers return to the Shire, Pippin receives orders to resume his duties as the Thain's Heir, by attending the Brockenborings Spring Festival among the North-tooks. That's a bit too far from Crickhollow for Pippin's liking, but Merry won't let him make the journey alone.

B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: G48
Format: ficlet
Genre: family
Rating: PG
Warnings:
Characters: Legolas, Gimli, OFC elf
Pairings:
Creator’s Notes (optional): In mine and Emma's 'verse, Oropher and his queen Felith lost four children who were "Mandos-born" in the West before finally having Thranduil - Rivaleth, Eluthril, Galadhir and Tatharlas. Eluthril married a descendant of Olwe and learned mapmaking and sailing from her husband. This uses up some more of the G48 prompts for today - I could only claim one, which I already wrote for, but I was inspired by more. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to tag prompts I didn't claim, so perhaps a game of find the prompt is in order, lol?
Summary: Legolas and Gimli arrive in the West.
