It is a REALLY GOOD Glrofindel/OC story. Non-slash (for once) and it writes Glorfindel in a way that breaks stereotypes yet still portrays his strength and wisdom. It is EXCELLENT! It made me love Glorfindel even more than I already do!

Taking place in the Second Age, it's a "modern day girl in Middle-earth" fic, but it really doesn't go the usual way, and laughing fits it sent me into distracted me from thinking about the plausibility of it. Also featuring Namo as a budding mad scientist, Feanor getting turned into a cat, and Gil-galad as an owner of one of those bad-tempered small dogs. Causes stomachaches.

O, Cruel Fate!

Also from the author

Mistaken Identities

It requires some guesswork and knowledge of Greek mythology, but the Celeborn part is worth it.

The Game of the Gods

Morgoth plays Sues, Varda&co. defeat them with reality. WARNING: slashy, but only for humorous purposes, namely Morgoth's secret diary and fantasies in it that "made Nįmo laugh so hard I was able to walk out of Mandos", but only references, nothing detailed. And definitely one-sided.

We don't say 'Elves'

Elflords suddenly appear in a school classroom.
Despite what such summary usually implies, there are no Sues, just ignorant children, their ignorant parents, even more ignorant teacher with no sense of self-preservation and a history professor/Tolkien geek who strives to prevent impending bloodshed caused by aforementioned ignorance.

My Lord Thy Blood Pressure!
A Pythonesque take on the infamous Arwen-Glorfindel Switch

Referred to in the above fic
Don't Look Back Look Left!
About a very curious detail in the movies. It contains some of First-Age material, but it should be funny even without knowing much about it.

Lothķriel
The only "girl falls in Middle-Earth"/"tenth walker" fic that I liked.

And one of my favourite Anti-Mary Sue series
Good King Thranduil Kicks Butt
Bona Fide Legolas Kicks Butt
Lord Celeborn Kicks Butt with Style

Bringing Trouble to Barad dur
Namo sends a pair of elves from his halls as poltergeists, to distract Sauron while Aragorn is preparing the attack on him and Frodo is sneaking into Mordor. Hillarious.

The Many Fates of Mary Sue
What REALLY happens when they fall in Middle-Earth.

The Day the Numenoreans Left
A humorous story about cultural differences and failed diplomacy.

Mary Sue's Ugly Divorce
The title speaks for itself.

The Fellowship of the Elves
There are no words to describe this.

Oboebyrds Guide to Writing Formulaic Fanfiction
A sarcastic guide on how (not) to write a LotR fanfic.

The One Ring Reforged
How it COULD have ended.

Rest And Recreation
And FINALLY, I found a good Boromir-centric fic. I was never an avid Boromir fan, but the poor guy deserves much better tretment than he's given by the most of the fandom.

Hi,

I have see all the recomendations, some of them I already knew and have read them, mainly the Eomer/Lothiriel stories "Yours to command" and the other ones from the same author Lialathuveril, "Bound by duty" and other stories from Lady Bluejay, the OFUM and sequel, "Never leave Fanfiction lying around" and some more. I have several to recommend:

On An Elfling Discovering the "Difference": in my opinion amazing, oneshot, the title says it all. Very funny.
Zee stories: ZeeDrippyVessel at OSA and ZeesMuse at ff.net. She breaks or bend the canon, her character sometimes have characteristics of Mary Sue, but in the end her stories are simply amazing, all of them, in my opinion at least. I recommend all of them.
Writ of Shadows and Phantoms: Eomer/Lothiriel very good. Does not break canon since we barely know anything about them together except that they married and had Elfwing. Maybe it needs a beta for some grammar mistakes sometimes but it is very good.
Paradox of the Fourth Age: The best AU of the type "What if" I have ever read. Amazingly coherent and well constructed. It is long, the one problem is that the updates came very slowly, but it is very good.
I am NOT a Mary Sue: an angry reviewer of a shameless mary sue found herself trapped in the sue fic and having to fix the OOC, etc. Very good parody with some dramatic touches.
Fair Wanderer Thou Makest Me Sicker: I am not sure if the author is also a member of this forum but just in case she/he is not, this is one of the best mary sue parodies I have ever seen.
sg1scribe from fanfiction.net: the stories are Eomer/Lothiriel, most of them oneshots. Very well written, very sweet.
Dark Eyes: Eomer/Lothiriel from Lothiriel POV. Very well written, very sweet romance (if you like sweet romance)
Elanor's Revenge: very long fanfiction, one of my favorites. Breaks canon in customs of the Eldar about prenuptial sex but it is VERY GOOD and very long. I recommend also other stories of the authors, since I found all of them very good.
Legolas by Laura Parody: very hilarious, just as it says, also has references to My Immortal but it is LOTR.

Well for now that is all, sorry for the tirade but I had a lot to recommend. Now I am going to read some of the recomendations.
