And I got two stories written for me:

pandemonium_213 ( ( in which Merry and Pippin learn some things about their barrow-blades in Rivendell)

blslarner (in which Elrond comes up with a way to keep tabs on the Fellowship during the Quest.)

And I wrote a slightly late birthday fic for all of you, following the hobbit tradition of giving gifts on one's birthday, rather than just receiving them: Thain Peregrin's Very Large Birthday Gift In it, Pippin gets a special gift from absent friends and loved ones. It is set in my "Happy AU" Eucatstrophe-verse, in which Frodo is still in Middle-earth, and so is Gandalf! So if you haven't seen it yet, there it is.

The DH and I are actually planning to celebrate my birthday this weekend, since payday is today. But the DH did give me a key lime pie on my actual birthday, and told me he's ordered three items off my Amazon wish list. I will find out what they are when they arrive.
