* BetterThanItSounds
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: A shocked Legolas asks why Aragorn has become a Scoutmaster, unable to imagine anyone who's not a paedophile volunteering for the job, and darkly mutters "I've met Baden-Powell". Aragorn, impressed, asks if Legolas can come in and give a talk about Baden-Powell to the kids.
* CowTools: The "long bent thing with sort of a knob on the end".
* DeadFic
* DieForOurShip: A controversial point in the series is the treatment of Arwen, who left Aragorn in a messy divorce and sold the childrens' mortal remains to the British Museum.
* DirtyOldMan: Gandalf.
* EveryoneIsBi / EveryoneIsGay: Oddly enough, Sam is confirmed at least mostly-hetero even in the "Random Slashy Interludes", notwithstanding a drunken incident with Frodo. Frodo is usually "busy" with Merry and Pippin on the few occasions he's lucid enough. Gimli and Gandalf are not involved because of the authors' personal {{Squick}} feelings, but Aragorn and Legolas are technically married and both had at least vaguely slashy interactions with Boromir when his ghost possessed Legolas.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: A mild comedic version, but if you were six thousand years old and stuck with a dysfunctional Fellowship, you'd probably not want immortality either.
