Meme: Stories that never were

From [livejournal.com profile] rubynye, who inspired me to give this a try: (If nothing else, it might break the writer's block.)

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Any fandom you've seen me write before is fair game. I'll try to come back with at least three of the possibilities.

Yes, I quite agreed with you that little Robin had to go along as well! And I understand exactly what you mean about the nursing! It's made me shake my head a time or two myself.

This little bit in the Appendixes really is one of the things that drives home the fact that JRRT was very much a *man*, and a man of his time, at that! I'm quite sure such a problem never even crossed his mind.
