B2MeM Challenge: This prompt from [livejournal.com profile] grey_wonderer: Frodo decides to plant a section of the garden himself, believing he will enjoy raising his own tomatoes, potatoes, whatever you want him to attempt to grow is fine.

Author's Notes: Well, this is what came to me when I saw the prompt. Obviously it is partially inspired by movie-verse, in which Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin collide in the middle of Farmer Maggot's cornfield. Since the word "corn" has another meaning in most of the rest of the world, I've chosen to use the word "maize" which is used elsewhere than the USA, and is not unfamiliar to most Americans, though it isn't common here. Other notes at the end of the story.
This is a set of eleven drabbles.
Summary: The Gaffer is not amused when Bilbo and Frodo want to grow a "furrin" food from Buckland.

B2MeM Challenge: From this prompt by Grey Wonderer: Saradoc,young Sam,'What does the Master of Buckland do?
While Saradoc Brandybuck is either picking up or dropping off Merry at Bag End, Saradoc tries to explain the job of the Master of Buckland to a young, curious, Samwise Gamgee. Other characters welcome, the other Gamgee kids, Frodo listening in, Bilbo, the Gaffer, whatever you like.

Format: Ficlet
Genre: Fluff, Friendship
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Saradoc Brandybuck, Merry Brandybuck, Frodo Baggins, Sam Gamgee, Hamfast Gamgee (the Gaffer)
Pairings: n/a
Creators' Notes (optional): This story draws a lot on the fanon of my particular Shire-universe, in which Merry makes an annual long visit to Bag End every spring, and becomes good friends with Sam. Sam is about 11 in this story, which would make him about the physical equivalent of a Man-child of about 7, though he is more intellectually mature.
Summary: Saradoc Brandybuck has an interesting conversation with young Samwise.

B2MeM Challenge: N43, Hobbits (The Gamgees)
Format: Ficlet
Title: Celebration
Genre: Gen
Rating: G/K
Warnings: Mild angst in places, graphic food detail
Characters: Bell Gamgee, Daisy Gamgee, May Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, Marigold Gamgee, Gaffer Gamgee, Halfred Gamgee, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins
Pairings: N/A
Summary: During Frodo's first autumn at Bag End, Bell Gamgee invites "Mr. Bilbo" and "Master Frodo" for dinner...and new friendships are formed.
Author's Notes: I don't hold to the theory that Frodo was totally heedless of social place at this point in his life, so no, I don't have him tell Sam to just call him Frodo. This fic reflects how conscious I think these hobbits would be about "place" and social standing, as well as Bilbo's and Frodo's sensitivities to the fact that not everyone was as fortunate financially as they. Also, my Frodo is definitely movieverse Frodo. Please don't burn me at the stake for it! :)
