3	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6305818/1/Policing-Middle-Earth Policing Middle-Earth]]'' is a ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''/''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' crossover FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2055110/aotearoan aotearoan]].

5	The hopeless dreamers who proposed, selected, and constituted the Fellowship of the Ring needed one final ingredient added to the mix. The nine randomly selected, mutually antagonistic, bickering and reluctant heroes desperately required a practical-minded, tough, cynical, street-wise bruiser to gel them together and to get them working as a team.

7	It is said in the lore of Middle-Earth that of the original far-seeing stones, the Palantiri, six are now lost, one is in the hands of the enemy, Sauron, the mage Saruman has an eighth, and one is in the keeping of the Steward Denethor of Gondor.
8
9	Make that ''five'' lost stones.
10
11	One has made its mysterious way into the keeping of Havelock Vetinari, Lord Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, who has not passed over the opportunity to employ such a useful device in his ongoing quest to be the one man who knows more of what's really going on than anyone else. Having established contact, and acting as an advisor to Elrond, Galadriel and possibly ''other'' highly placed persons on middle-Earth, Vetinari provides that tenth person to the fellowship.
12
13	His name is Sam Vimes, and he is inclined to treat the War of the Ring with the same zero-tolerance "Breach of the Peace" attitude he took to the Leshp business.
14
15	See Vimes bring the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'''s conception of Elves, trolls, and other sentient races, to clash with the rather purer and loftier Middle-Earth version.
16
17	The Discworld meets Middle-Earth and leaves it rather shell-shocked!

19	!! This fan work has examples of the following:
20
21	* ActionGirl: Éowyn. [[HypocriticalHumour Galadriel disapproves]].
22	* BrawnHilda: Eowyn. She ''is'' based on a Germanic archetype, after all, and has more than a little {{Valkyrie}} about her.
23	* CantArgueWithElves: Doesn't stop the others trying.
24	* DeadpanSnarker: Sam Vimes. Other cast members on occasion, i.e. Gandalf.
25	* ElvesVersusDwarves: Gimli and Legolas.
26	* GranolaGirl: Galadriel - appearance wise, at least. What else would characterise somebody who lives in a tree in a forest and seeks to be at one with Nature?
27	* HypocriticalHumour: ''Galadriel'', of all people, saying she doesn't believe in strong female characters.
28	* MrsRobinson: Galadriel, when she starts using the mirror to lech over Carrot. He is possibly thirty. She is at a conservative guess at least eight thousand years old.
29	* RefugeInAudacity: Vimes tries to arrest the Watcher in the Water. It doesn't work.
30	* ScrewYouElves: Gimli. And others.
31	* TheStoner: Legolas.
32	* StonersAreFunny: Legolas.
