I wrote a fic in Lord of the Rings fandom about a year ago and posted it on AO3 (here), but I figured I should post it here as well in case anyone would like to read it :). It was for a class, and basically explores Smeagol's early life with the use of his people's stories/history.

Title: The Days Before The Days After
Fandom: Lord of the Rings books pre-canon, based mostly on the appendices and other sources.
Characters: Young Gollum (as Smeagol), brief appearance of Aragorn/Strider.
Rating: G
Summary: Young Sméagol watched, and he listened; he paid attention to the words people spoke and the clothes that they wore and the places they came from. He held them all in his mind, and thought upon them when he had chance to daydream in the shade of the willow-trees.
Wordcount: 1,845
Note: Thank you to Becca (bookelfe) for the beta after the class :)
