    Summary

    Tammunei Ereshkigal contains multitudes. Raised by three mothers and caring for a sickly fourth, Tammu has lived every day of their life in the shadow of what they will become: a wise-woman of the Ahemmusa; a listener and mouthpiece for the ghosts of their ancestors. Setting out now on a year-long self-imposed exile from home - a coming of age rite known to Ashlanders as the Harrowing - Tammunei remembers their life up to this point, and in turn, their ancestors share their memories through Tammunei.

    Summary

    A what-if "Everyone Lives" LOTR AU. By "everyone", I mean "everyone", and by "everyone", I mean this series is focused around Gollum in an unlikely universe where he manages to help destroy the Ring without dying and, subsequently, becomes everyone else's problem, but in a very different way than he was a problem before. I read Gandalf's line "I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it" in FOTR, and started to wonder what on Earth you'd do with a friendly version of Gollum, assuming his extreme eccentricities and special requirements for darkness and raw meat would not just go away. I couldn't find much other fic about this question so I wrote this, and I grew to enjoy Sméagol's odd psychology in the process so I kept going for longer than I'd intended. I do hope you enjoy!

    Boromir and Bilbo are here too! Now featuring also Gríma Wormtongue (in a oneshot)!

    Please note that this is all book-based, not movie-based, and these stories lean heavily on book events that either weren't in the movies at all or were very different.
