*Broken by Starkiller (Elves and Men, Haldir/Faramir) ("It has been a year since Faramir and Haldir last saw each other. Now Haldir has arrived at Minas Tirith. Will the two feel the same way about each other as they did one year ago?") (sequel to ‘The White Stag,' non-con, slave themes, violence) (6)

* No Shame by Adinshe (Men, Aragorn/Boromir) (non-con) (39)
* On the Shores of Darkness by Lianne Burwell (Elves, Elrond/Isildur, Elrond/Gil-Galad) ("After the fall of Numenor, Elendil and his sons came to Middle-Earth to build new homes, new kingdoms, and to rebuild their alliance with the Eldar.

* Sleep by Calle Dybedahl (Elves and Men, Galadriel/Buffy) ("A drabble for Twinkledru’s random hundreds community on LiveJournal. At least it started out as a drabble, but it grew a bit longer. It probably doesn't make all that much sense if you haven't seen the end of the fifth season and the start of the sixth season of Buffy, up to, roughly, Once More, With Feeling. And possibly not even then.") (crossover with Buffy: The Vampire Slayer) (84)
* Something Fishy by April Grant (Hobbits, Frodo/Gollum) (86)

However at the time of writing (March 2, 2003), she has not done one for Grima Wormtongue, He was just begging to be done. There is also some Bridget Jones’s Diary influence.") (92)
