History Fanfic / BagEnders

* HomoeroticDream: Aragorn has several about Boromir when [[spoiler:drugged with Elven Aphrodisiac]], much to his horror.

* AnythingThatMoves:
** Merry and Pippin, especially during the "Random Slashy Interludes".
** Gandalf to an extent.

[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/2809283?view_full_work=true The originals have been uploaded by one of the authors on AO3.]]

* 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.

* 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.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: 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.

* DeadFic: Since approximately 2004, though one of the authors recently uploaded the slightly edited originals to AO3.

* DeadFic
* DirtyOldMan: Gandalf. Oh so much.
* DysfunctionJunction

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Boromir.
* {{Flanderization}}: See AlternateCharacterInterpretation.

* OnlySaneMan: Legolas. Frodo in his more lucid moments.
* PornStash:
** Pippin insists on keeping his in his mattress, which now resembles a miniature version of Smaug's horde.
** And he's had it so long, some of it's actually worth something! By which we mean one of the components is a sketch by Leonardo Da Vinci.

* TeamDad: Aragorn.

* 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.

* 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.

And it came to pass that the [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Fellowship]] were granted immortality for they had saved middle earth; and so they went their separate ways...

* AnythingThatMoves: Merry and Pippin, especially during the "Random Slashy Interludes".

* BawdySong: Mention is made of Pippin singing [[Literature/{{Discworld}} the Hedgehog Song]].

* NotListeningToMeAreYou: Legolas ignores Aragorn's attempts to get his attention by claiming that he's pregnant and has sold the house to terrorists, but reacts when Aragorn claims [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Celeborn is coming to live with them]].

* PornStash: Pippin insists on keeping his in his mattress, which now resembles a miniature version of Smaug's horde.

* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Six Thousand Years Old]]: The whole Fellowship. (Except Legolas and Gandalf, who are [[MemeticMutation over 9000]].)

* PornStash: Pippin insists on keeping his in his mattress.
** And he's had it so long, some of it's actually worth something!

* TeamDad: Aragorn. And:
* TeamMom: Legolas, of all people. Mostly because Elves have no sex drive, which leaves him with enough energy to look after the others.

** Gandalf goes as Anne Robinson, with a CrowningMomentOfFunny when asked about this, replying, "Whoever said that Anne Robinson was a woman?"

* 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.

* ShoutOut: Many. The situation owes something to TheYoungOnes, Gandalf's characterisation is mainly based on FatherTed, albeit more coherent, and there are several Literature/{{Discworld}} references.

** When Boromir first incarnates, he is singing "4 and 20 virgins went up to Minas Tirith...", which is a parody of the Ball of Kirriemuir, a song famous for having several million versions, twice as many verses, and all start with that line.

* NoodleIncident: This fic's humor partly runs on hilarious Noodle Incidents. For example:

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Aragorn threatens Frodo and Merry with being forced to "watch the entirety of ''{{Flipper}}''. Twice."

And it came to pass that the [[LordOfTheRings Fellowship]] were granted immortality for they had saved middle earth; and so they went their separate ways...

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Legolas wears a pink fluffy bathrobe and an incredibly feminine 18th-century nightshirt. In the Random Slashy Interludes Merry and Frodo occasionally become "Estella and Lobelia, the North's biggest, smallest drag act", and Pippin (insofar as he can be called "wholesome" in this incarnation) ended up dressed as [[JamesBond Pussy Galore]].

* 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.

And it came to pass that the [[LordOfTheRings Fellowship]] were granted immortality for they had saved middle earth; and so they went their separate ways...

But some fellowships were not meant to be broken...

** Gandalf to an extent.
* BawdySong: Mention is made of Pippin singing [[{{Discworld}} the Hedgehog Song]].

* DirtyOldMan: Gandalf. Oh so much.

* EveryoneHasLotsOfSex: During the "Random Slashy Interludes".

* ShoutOut: Many. The situation owes something to TheYoungOnes, Gandalf's characterisation is mainly based on FatherTed, albeit more coherent, and there are several {{Discworld}} references.

* TeamMom: Legolas, of all people. Mostly because Elves have no sex drive, which leaves him with enough energy to look after the others.

* 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.

** Gandalf goes as Anne Robinson, with a CrowningMomentOfFunny when asked about this, replying, "Whoever said that Anne Robinson was a woman?"

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Every LOTR character has all their flaws exaggerated to comedic levels, and astonishingly, it works.

* BadassDecay: Aragorn when he loses his Ranger skills, but he gets better.

* 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, as well as pinching everything he owned save his clothes.

* MagnificentBastard: Gandalf and Legolas. Other older elves have shades of this.
