febobe: (Where Exactly)
It's posted over at https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11251071/1/The-Faintest-Hope - enjoy! (Warning: kinda on the crackficcy side later in the fic - you have been warned. The fact that it's a crossover should have warned you, too.)

For those of you who aren't involved in Teitho, I wrote an LOTR/House crossover fic for the "Sickness" challenge. The voting is over and posted, so I'm free to admit that I wrote it and repost as I wish. I'm planning to post it this week on ff.net. Below is a sample for those interested.... :)

(This is when Dr. House has just entered Frodo's chamber in Minas Tirith.)

Gandalf and Aragorn had hurried in behind him. “House – “ Gandalf began in a warning tone, but the doctor – for I assumed it could only be he – dismissed him with a wave and a roll of his eyes.

“Oh, don’t get your robe in a wad, Methuselah.” The doctor pushed his way past Legolas and plopped onto my bed, still holding his cane and the bag. “So, shortie, are you too special a snowflake for me to examine you, or what?”

I sat there in shock.

“This isn’t the way we usually tend to Frodo,” Aragorn began, coming to the doctor’s side, but the doctor merely shoved his cane in Aragorn’s direction.

“Here. Hold this, crown-head.”

Aragorn sighed, but held the cane. “Frodo,” he said gently, “this is Dr. Gregory House. He has a gift for discovering what is wrong with people, and though he has never seen a hobbit before, we have no doubt he will – “

“You know, ‘cause I’m a real doctor and everything.” Dr. House rolled his eyes again. “Look, kid. This would be a lot simpler if you weren’t trying to block every test I want to do. At Princeton-Plainsboro, my team of three doctors can do so many tests we could diagnose you before your hairy little feet hit the floor tomorrow morning. But they tell me you didn’t WANT to come. What, you think this is about wanting?!?”

I found my tongue at last.

“I won’t go,” I said firmly. “If you’re as fine a doctor as I’m told, you can diagnose me here. Yourself. Or you can go back to wherever you came from, and in a few months’ time, Elrond of Rivendell can do the job *you* failed at doing. Which will it be? I don’t mind to wait.”

Judging from the tightness in his jaw, I guessed I had hit my mark.

“You need me worse than I need you, short stuff,” he said, but there was a gleam in his eye. I had angered him, hurt his pride, and I was glad of it. I had never spoken so to a Big Person before, but the Quest had done one good thing for me – it had made me bold, unafraid to fight against having things done to me which I did not wish.

I spread my arms. “I’m here. Examine me if you wish. Question me if you must. If you can’t be bothered, go back to where you came from and let me go back to sleep.”

Dr. House studied my tray. “From what I’ve been told, hobbits are food addicts. Seems like a small breakfast for one. And not much eaten from it.”

“I didn’t feel like it.”

“Interesting. I mean, if you were a human, it would be boring. But for a hobbit – “ He picked up the tray and handed it off to Legolas, who still looked a little affronted, but took it anyhow and set it aside in a chair. “Feeling faint when you stand up. Any family history?”

I shook my head. “I never heard of any relation having anything like this. My parents fell out of a boat and drowned. They couldn’t swim. Most Bagginses and Brandybucks are healthy as ponies.”

(and from later...)

“How could you DO that to him?!?” demanded Sam sharply, jerking his head up to glare at Dr. House. “He’s sick! You’re a DOCTOR – you ought to try and help him, not hurt him!”

Dr. House smirked.

“I can’t *help* him without knowing what is *wrong* with him,” he pointed out, unruffled. “Before you all pop your eyeballs from panicking, I know what’s wrong. I just need to check one more thing. Sit up, short stuff.”

For Mother's Day, here's a little fic I wrote. It's Frodo-centric, as usual, and features some mention - sometimes more! - of THREE lost mothers in Middle-earth....

An Orphaned Son's Longing (rated PG for angst, 1/1) )

ETA: I might lengthen the ending just a bit when I have time. On a time crunch as my in-laws are coming over!

TNT LOTR!

I just now turned on the TV for the first time today, and it seems they're partway through TTT and ROTK is coming up, if I read right. :) I know most of us have the DVDs, but it's always a thrill to watch it on TV. :)

If you enjoy "What May Come," my Frodo and Celebrian centric healing of a sort in the West fanfic with absolutely ZERO character death, please feel free to stop by http://tinyurl.com/owxcu2a and check out Part X: Pulled from the Shadows! :)

Shirebound, I really appreciate your suggestion of making time daily for something fun and stress-relieving. :) It would be hard to do it the same time every day b/c my schedule varies so much, but I think building it into my schedule for the week would be a really great idea. :) Today I ate a "Frozen" popsicle (hee! and OK, I ate more than one, to be fair about it) and treated myself by wrapping up my ofic project earlier than I'd originally planned and writing a whole new chapter of "What May Come" - and posting it, since I hadn't updated that thing since last September, and before that it had been over a decade. I think I'd like to make sure I make time for fanfic more regularly. It feels like that's how I keep my soul somehow. Ofic is a huge part of me, really, and I do live to write it. But fanfic is the side of me that likes to play doctor with my dollies and play kitchen with play food, if that makes any sense. One of my problems is that I'm so deathly serious all the time, and I need to bring a little more "play" into my life for stress management purposes (and my sanity).

*hugsabout*

Please go vote! I can't tell you which mine is b/c of rules, and I can't ask you to vote for me, and I won't, but if you can, go read all the stories and vote for whichever you prefer most. :) There are many lovely stories to choose from. :)

Just read courtesy of ElwenLJ that LILIES (yes, the flowers) are extremely toxic for our feline friends and should never be allowed in a home where there are cats. It destroys their kidneys or something. Please, if you have kitty members of your family, don't bring in or let anyone else bring in a lily!!! If you need one badly, get a plastic or silk one or something!!!

I did it!

I finished and submitted my Teitho fic, my very first! I'm not altogether happy with it, and eventually I'd like to revise and expand and enhance it, though the original version will be made available once allowed by the Teitho competition (tonight's the submission deadline, so that won't be for a while yet).

Thanks, LindaHoyland, for the awesome support. :) You've been an encouraging example and inspiration. :)

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays (take whichever applies, please :) ) to all my beloved friends, near and far. I am about to get to my lovely cards and hope to post thanks in the coming days for both snail and e. :) Thank you all for being who you are and being such great friends.

Love always,

I've got a fandom_stocking entry over here on DW. :)

http://fandom-stocking.dreamwidth.org/536724.html

If anyone feels inclined to drop anything in, that would be wonderful. If not, happy holidays either way! :)

And if you have a fandom_stocking listing, please let me know. I know Dreamflower has one. I'd like to leave some little surprises for my friends who are doing this.

Thanks,
Febobe :)

FrodoHealers and readers who recall my penchant for invalid-cookery might enjoy this article, as did I - especially as someone who, like its author, lives with autoimmune disease. :)

I don't have my copy of Letters where I can find it (blast) - does anyone happen to know the reference in Letters of JRRT indicating that Tolkien drew the relationship between Frodo and Sam from the WWI British officer and his batman? Wikipedia cites Letters as the resource confirming this, but it doesn't give specifics. I've got a standalone short fic I've just finished and am writing my notes for, and I'd like to provide specific details on this if at all possible.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks,
Febobe :)

WARNING: this is a VERY rough draft and lacks my usual array of header notes, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing what I've been up to lately.... :)

To everyone who won, placed in, was nominated for, or helped with the Tree & Flower Awards, CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU! :D I won't even try to list everyone, as I'm sure I'd miss several, but CONGRATS to all who were a part of this.

Hugs,
