Title: Let it Be
Author: Cassiopeia
Rating: PG
Summary: Frodo must make another difficult choice. Sequel to Time To Be.

Comments: The first part is an absolute classic; beautiful but agonising. Personally I've always thought it's better taken on its own than with the sequel, but I've included that too for completeness.

Title: Healing Samwise
Author: Cassiopeia
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Sam arrives at Tol Eressea. Sam needs to be healed. Frodo has a surprise for him.

Comments: The "oh dear, it appears I have to have sex with you" trope can come off trite and farcical, but this one is very well done indeed.

Title: Fos' Almir
Author: Bill the Pony
Rating: PG

Comments: Another unique Tol Eressea story; in this one, Sam's choices are not done when he decides to sail.

Title: Endurance Beyond Hope
Author: Bill the Pony
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Expectations clash with reality when Sam arrives in Valinor sixty years after Frodo's departure from Middle Earth. WORK IN PROGRESS

Comments: This is a WIP, but don't let that put you off, because our lads get over a pretty major hurdle right before it cuts off, and it's easy enough to read it as an ending. This is, quite simply, the best Tol Eressëa fic out there. Usually, Sam steps off the boat and it's as though they were only parted yesterday, and lovely though that is in its way, this feels more real, more like a story worth telling as opposed to something borne of a need to fill the chasm that the ending of LotR leaves open. I sincerely hope that this is finished one day, but even in its current state it stands among the best that Frodo/Sam has to offer.

[Note: technically, this is not a "first time" fic, but I have labelled it as such because, well, it might as well be]

Title: Heart's Ease IV: The Love of Master Samwise
Author: Annwyn

Comments: The first three form a nice first time fic, but be careful of continuing onto Part IV unless you're prepared for a lot of angst.

Title: At the End of All Things
Author: Aina

Summary: Time cannot heal all wounds.

Comments: Sam's deciding to go over the sea has been done many times, and this is one of the better ones: the writing has an honest, raw quality very fitting for Sam, and it doesn't demonise Rosie.
