butterflyBoth pre-quest, both with Frodo being more than a bit queer. Both really long, really good series that aren't finished yet. Both are a mix of movie and book canon.
Rites of Passage is a half-finished story about Frodo Baggins, growing up. The first half deals with his life at Brandy Hall and why he leaves, and the second (as yet unposted) deals with his life at Bag End. There's some Frodo slash in the first bit with a minor character from the books (or the family tree, I think). It's a fascinating look at one person's idea of Hobbit society, Frodo's looks, and those screwy Elves. Plus, Merry and Pippin are young and cute (Pippin being much younger, but not too much cuter) and feel very much like real people. It's a look at a Frodo that starts out much pricklier than we normally see - and for good reason.
The Making of Samwise is more a straight-up Frodo&Sam deal, as we start with Frodo's arrival at Bag End and with Sam's feelings on the whole thing. There's some Sam slash with a minor book character. Very enjoyable. There isn't yet any graphic type slash yet, but there's some touching that is pretty hot.
And if there are any other stories out there like this (long, indepth looks at character and culture), then I would adore knowing about them, as this has become my favorite type of LotR fanfic.
