But some fellowships were not meant to be broken...

History has become legend; legend has become myth and myth has become merchandising: A three-bedroom semi in a town in the north of England, 2001.

 

 

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Merry and Pippin, especially during the "Random Slashy Interludes".

** Gandalf to an extent.

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: A shocked Legolas asks why Aragorn has become a Scoutmaster, unable to imagine anyone who's not a paedophile volunteering for the job, and darkly mutters "I've met Baden-Powell". Aragorn, impressed, asks if Legolas can come in and give a talk about Baden-Powell to the kids.

* [[Cow Tools]]: The "long bent thing with sort of a knob on the end".

* [[Dead Fic]]

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Gandalf. Oh so much.

* [[Elderly Immortal]]: Gandalf.

* [[Everyone Is Bi]] / [[Everyone Is Gay]]: Oddly enough, Sam is confirmed at least mostly-hetero even in the "Random Slashy Interludes", notwithstanding a drunken incident with Frodo. Frodo is usually "busy" with Merry and Pippin on the few occasions he's lucid enough. Gimli and Gandalf are not involved because of the authors' personal [[Squick]] feelings, but Aragorn and Legolas are technically married and both had at least vaguely slashy interactions with Boromir when his ghost possessed Legolas.

* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Gandalf. Possibly Radagast.

** Radagast is like Gandalf with a conscience, lack of desire to molest everything with breasts and pets.

* [[Flanderization]]: See [[Alternate Character Interpretation]].

* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Particularly during "And The Sign Said 'Centre Parcs'", when Pippin claims to be the inventor of the Glaswegian dialect and speaks continually in it in order to annoy the others.

* [[Kissing Cousins]]: During the Random Slashy Interludes, Merry and Pippin often resort to each other when they can't find anyone else, and sometimes include Frodo.

* [[Mad Oracle]]: During the prequel episode set in Troy, Frodo has turned into one of these, and only says one coherent thing in the entire episode, mostly speaking in prophetic gibberish that only Sam seems to understand.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: This fic's humor partly runs on hilarious Noodle Incidents. For example:

** Gandalf pretends to be deaf whenever someone i.e. Legolas, asks him awkward questions of the "Why are you keeping Jeremy Paxman as pet?" variety

* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: FECK OFF!

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Six Thousand Years Old]]: The whole Fellowship. (Except Legolas and Gandalf, who are [[Memetic Mutation|over 9000]].)

* [[Scarily Competent Tracker]]: Aragorn, of course.

* [[Team Dad]]: Aragorn. And:

* [[Team Mom]]: Legolas, of all people. Mostly because Elves have no sex drive, which leaves him with enough energy to look after the others.

* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: Frodo during his attacks of "Post-Ringbearer Syndrome".

* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Pippin 'Huv ye got a PROBLEM with tha pal?!' Took.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Legolas wears a pink fluffy bathrobe and an incredibly feminine 18th-century nightshirt. In the Random Slashy Interludes Merry and Frodo occasionally become "Estella and Lobelia, the North's biggest, smallest drag act", and Pippin (insofar as he can be called "wholesome" in this incarnation) ended up dressed as [[James Bond|Pussy Galore]].

** Gandalf goes as Anne Robinson, with a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when asked about this, replying, "Whoever said that Anne Robinson was a woman?"
