Introduction: It has come to my attention that the various pieces of my canon needed to be put in order - you will find that here. When I first began writing 'Roads Go On and Years Go By', I hadn't thought that the series would grow to cover such an expanse of time, and characters. That is, it has grown beyond its humble beginning.

Here you will find a variety of fiction, from those hobbits that came before Merry and Pippin, to those that came after. Gen, het, slash, femslash, piles (and some interspecies). Almost all ratings. Full information can be found on each story after clicking whatever link.

All that said, do enjoy your stay.
