'Serenity'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
All very true. Also, of course, although Cassandra Clare's tale of Sam bathing Mr Frodo with strawberry bubble bath six times a day are mere wishful thinking, canonically the first thing Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin do when they get to Frodo's supposed new house in Buckland in the book is to have baths. There's even a bath song about how fabulous hot water is. And Pippin splashes water everywhere.
Oh, if only this had made it into the movie....
t /shallow and obvious
Doesn't matter- - -it's Middle Earth not Earth!
And the hobbits have baths at Frodo's new house in Bywater (I think). Pippin sings a rousing bath song.
Ah, the missing scenes, the bathing scenes...
Funny thing is, the people in the tub are generally wearing hats.
Propriety, my dear.
Poly Recs has been updated.
70 stories, 17 fandoms, and the eternal question, "Is it actually possible to rot your brain by reading too much fanfic?"
Oooh!
scampers off to look

I read this as "Bayswater", which is where my first flat in London as an adult was (back in 1978).
As a non-Tolkeiner, this really would have answered some long-standing questions about my excessively hairy neighbours.
Did they wear shoes?
Hee. Isn't that great? That's the same Alicia K who pops up around here occasionally, often in the music thread.
