Title:The Adventures of Tom and Barard
Category: slash.
Rating: NC-17 for sexual content. Contains violence, some references to non-consensual sex, and lots of hurt/comfort. I make no money from these stories, and give grateful thanks to JRR Tolkien for providing us with such a richly imagined world to play in.

Chapter 14 has been posted, and can be found here

I understand Tom's wish to show mercy, but I think Tarlos is right - it's wasted on someone like the Jackal. I can't say I'm sorry that he'll be losing his head soon. I also understand Tom's wish to go to the prison where Barard was held. This is a case of how not knowing something can be worse than knowing. At least know he's been there and he's seen it and he'll be able to put that behind him. Otherwise, he'd probably spend the next several months/years imagining all sorts of horrors.

Barard continues to show signs of improvement. Becoming immersed into a hobby is a very good sign. It also means that he's becoming more comfortable with his surroundings and the people in it.

This is wonderful as always. Can't wait for more!

Probably a good thing that Tarlos wasn't around for the ride when Frodo and Sam were struggling through Mordor. Gollum would have been mincemeat.

This is wonderful as always. Can't wait for more!

Glad you enjoyed. :) Not much more to come now. You could almost write "The End" here, but there's an epilogue to come, and a bonus chapter. :D

Thank you for the new chapter. I was thrilled to find it up this morning. I am so glad that Barard is improving so much. Now Tom just needs to work a little more on not being so over protective!

Like Tom, I had mixed feelings about mercy when applied to the Jackal. One of the things I loved most about LotR was Frodo's mercy and how it effected the outcome of the story. It is just sad that it can't always be that way.

It's a real dilemma, isn't it?

Me, too. It's influenced the choices I've made in my life. I love Gandalf's "mercy" speech, but I can also understand the difficult choices facing a ruler like Sulos in that culture. It's good to think that Tom, through Faros, may have an influence on the future of Harad. :) In turn, Tom's influence can be traced back through Sam to Frodo. :) :)

Thank you for this exciting chapter! :) Loved the court scene and the echoes of LOTR with the mercy theme.

And ooh, the love scene. So hot and loving and so fitting for their current situation. Loved how there was humour as well. And hotness, did I say it was hot? :)

Can't wait for more. :)

Thank you , Steffie. I was worried the court part was too long and maybe rather boring in places. One thing I would like to know; did you find the love scene hot? :D ;) :D

*giggles* I am so sorry I forgot to mention that the love scene was hot!!! Because it was hot! :)

Nope, the court part wasn't too long at all. :)

Hot love scene, btw. ;-)
