History Fanfic / TimeWillTell

* InnocentCohabitation: After Bilbo leaves Bag End, only Frodo (male hobbit) and Jorryn (female human) live there. They cohabit for years, until events force both of them to flee the Shire.

It is now one of many stories about [[TrappedInAnotherWorld girls falling into Middle-earth]], a genre that suffers from SturgeonsLaw. Some stories stay close to the plot of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the movies]]. ''Time Will Tell'' references many events from Tolkien's books, but also adds new events of its own.

The WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum did an [[http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/brief3.html intelligence report]] covering the early chapters.

** In chapter 27/28 "The Council of Elrond", Gandalf describes how Jorryn "talked in her sleep". Back in ''The Lord of the Rings'', Book II, Chapter 1, Gandalf told Frodo that he "talked long in your sleep". In both cases, Gandalf learned much from the sleepers.

It is now one of many stories about [[TrappedInAnotherWorld girls falling into Middle-earth]], a genre that suffers from SturgeonsLaw. Other stories stay close to the plot of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the movies]]. ''Time Will Tell'' drops references many events from Tolkien's books, but also adds new events of its own.

Jorryn, a girl of sixteen years, finds herself living with Frodo and Bilbo in the Shire, though Jorryn is not a hobbit. She is happy to be among her favorite book characters, and has no desire to return to the United States. Jorryn has her own adventures in the Shire, and meets Sam, Pippin and Merry. After several chapters, the story reaches Bilbo's party.

When Frodo and friends flee the Shire, Jorryn comes with them, all the way to Rivendell. Yes, this means visiting Crickhollow, going through the Old Forest, and meeting Tom Bombadil, events [[AdaptedOut skipped by the movies]]. Jorryn does not join the Fellowship, or fight in any battles. Instead, Frodo and the hobbits leave Jorryn behind, and she finds her own role in the story.

* FirstKiss: Someone puts a ShutUpKiss on Jorryn. This marks the beginning of a romance.

* SailorEarth: In this fandom, Jorryn is an unusual example. She does join Frodo and friends from the Shire to Rivendell, but she never becomes a Tenth Walker.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Jorryn, out of the United States, is stuck in Middle-earth.
* TrappedInThePast: Or is this the same world? Gandalf and Elrond believe that Jorryn is from the far future. Then the present age for Gandalf is thus TheAgeOfMyths for Jorryn.
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: Discussed. In the last chapter, Pippin explains in jest, "You know that there are none left to marry now that" two characters have already married.

It is now one of many stories about [[TrappedInAnotherWorld girls falling into Middle-earth]], a genre that suffers from SturgeonsLaw. Other stories tend to drop the girl near the Council of Elrond and stay close to the plot of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the movies]]. ''Time Will Tell'' drops Jorryn years earlier in the timeline, and references many events from Tolkien's books, but also adds new events of its own.

Jorryn, a girl of sixteen years, finds herself living with Frodo and Bilbo in the Shire, though Jorryn is not a hobbit. She is happy to be among her favorite book characters, and has no desire to return to the United States. Jorryn has her own adventures in the Shire, in which she meets Frodo's friends. After several chapters, the story reaches Bilbo's party.

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Jorryn is sixteen years old when she falls into the Shire. The story implies that Jorryn was a student from the USA. (It does not show her in school, but it was summer, when most schools have summer break.) Jorryn is only four feet and five inches, short, but taller than a hobbit. Other than that, Jorryn is a generic girl.

** In chapter 27 "The Council of Elrond", Gandalf describes how Jorryn "talked in her sleep". Back in ''The Lord of the Rings'' Book II Chapter 1, Gandalf told Frodo that he "talked long in your sleep". In both cases, Gandalf learned much from the sleepers.

* TranslatorMicrobes: Westron (the CommonTongue) is not English, but the story waits until chapter 27 "The Council of Elrond" to explain how Jorryn can talk to anyone in Middle-earth. [[spoiler:During her first days in the Shire, the ill Jorryn muttered in English. Gandalf performed a spell to switch Jorryn's language. Jorryn now speaks Westron, but may have completely forgotten English.]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/450376/1/Time-Will-Tell Time Will Tell]]'' is a story that Bombur Jo wrote from 2001 to 2005. It is about Jorryn, a girl of the modern Time, who falls into Middle-earth in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.

It is now one of many stories about [[TrappedInAnotherWorld girls falling into Middle-earth]]. These stories tend to be mediocre to terrible. ''Time Will Tell'' is among the few to follow the books more than the movies. So, the author knows canon better better than most other fan authors.

Jorryn ends up living with Frodo and Bilbo in the Shire. She would be an ordinary girl, but is unusual for two reasons. First, she is the only person of the Big Folk in Shire full of {{Hobbits}}. Second, she has read Tolkien's books and can use that knowledge to predict future events. Jorryn has her own adventures in the Shire, until she reaches the events that begin ''The Lord of the Rings''. Circumstances force her to flee with Frodo, all the way to Rivendell. Yes, this means visiting Crickhollow, going through the Old Forest, and meeting Tom Bombadil, events [[AdaptedOut skipped by the movies]].

The author has enough sense to keep Jorryn away from stupid danger. So, Jorryn does ''not'' join the Nine Walkers in the Fellowship, and she does ''not'' fight at Helm's Deep or Pelennor Fields. Instead, Frodo and the hobbits leave Jorryn behind, and she finds her own role in the story.

Jorryn becomes ill, and eventually faints. She is found by Frodo. Jorryn remains an ordinary girl, but is unusual for two reasons: she is the only woman in the Shire, and she has read ''The Lord of the Rings'' and can use that knowledge to predict future events. After Jorryn recovers her health, she lives at Bag End with Bilbo and Frodo.

Jorryn has her own adventures in the Shire, until she reaches the events that begin ''The Lord of the Rings''. Circumstances force her to flee Bag End along with Frodo. Yes, she goes through the Old Forest and meets Tom Bombadil. When Elrond appoints the Nine Walkers, Jorryn is not among them, for good reason. The hobbits leave Jorryn behind, and Jorryn finds her own role in the story.

* TranslatorMicrobes: The author of ''Time Will Tell'' is among the few fans to acknowledge that the CommonTongue is not English. The story waits until chapter 27 to explain how Jorryn and the hobbits seem to speak the same language. [[spoiler:During her first days in the Shire, the ill Jorryn muttered in English. Gandalf performed a spell to switch Jorryn to another language.]]
