seraiIf, like me, you're feeling sad and angry and kicked in the groin, here's something to help lift your spirits. Gacked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

"In your journal, rec a story that you re-read for comfort when you need to feel better because it gives you warm fuzzies, a story you read recently that was scorchingly hot, and a long story that you re-read because you can lose yourself in it. It can be any pairing, any rating, any fandom. "
Sweet comfort story: The Care and Feeding of Hobbits, bybaylorsr (Gen, rated G). I fell in love with this story from the first page. It's so gentle, and fun, and innocent, and yet has depth to make the characters real. Baylor has a way with Tolkien's characters; her stories always fit beautifully right alongside the canon, for me.
Scorchingly hot story: The Touch of the Sun, by Fennelseed (F/S, rated NC-17). Fennel's got a new one! Well, not exactly a new one - apparently she wrote it a while ago. But it's new to us, and that's cause for rejoicing, in my book! Huzzah! And of course, there's always Lessons in Maturity, which is my perennial Frodo/Sam Smutbomb (though really, anything by Fennel melts my panties off). She's got a way with the porn that just gets me every time. Wonderful images, detailed and hot. Rawr.
Long story I lose myself in: All That I Had, by Elenya (F/S, S/R, F/R (in one chapter), ratings vary from PG-13 to NC-17). This is the big one, for me. In case any of you haven't read it, a long post-quest WIP that ties together all the threads left in Tolkien, AND does it without bashing any of the characters. It's lyrical, lovely, sad, sweet, hot, joyous and just plain divine. I go back to it when I want to lose myself in Middle Earth AND Frodo/Sam, because Elenya's just so damn good at both. I can't recommend this one highly enough. It's THE post-quest F/S for me.
Hope that's a nice bunch of hobbitfic to cheer y'all up.
