S/F, versatile, but we'll leave it since it's good
Well, well, well. This rec is almost exclusively for Fletchalogia, and since I like it so much, I will also x-post it to
nerys29. Basically, the plot entails someone -- revealing who would give away the trick ending -- giving Frodo a sex toy for the hobbit variant of Christmas. Oh my god! What is Frodo going to do with a sex toy? Well, he's going to think it's not a sex toy. Then, when he finds out what it really is, he's going to let Sam use it, because Frodo is wary of anything even slightly off-kilter. Stupid Frodo.
So yeah, I said this was a rec for Fletcher, and it is. I don't know who else in the entire world was expecting the advent of nice, crusty muff in hobbit porn, but here it is! No, I'm not kidding. It's not the same kind of muff in Sweeney Todd, but it's just as fluffy.
As for character development, Merry (in his brief involvement) is highly amusing, and Sam is a slightly kinky bastard, as we all know him to be from other hobbit fics such as "Sam Goes to a Gay Bathhouse and Spends 18 Hours in a Sling," among the scads of others. Also, Frodo is glorious: slightly effeminate, but not a weepy little asshole bitch like Heber and I write him as, so it's a refreshing plus. Also, the ending is just creepy enough for me! There's some serious 'awwwwwwww' at the end, and not too much disgusting gay hobbit sex.
If the story loses points for anything, it loses points for putting Sam on the bottom. God, how I hate that. But Frodo gets it in the rear at some point as well, so I suppose it's a nice, reciprocal relationship. Bugger this, bugger that, & c. Even if you don't like hobbit slash, read this. It's, you know, quirky.
