Thanks for all the recs, Mariole. And aren't you lovely to provide a link! Fennelseed sounds as though she writes with charm. I have heard her name mentioned favourably when highly-rated slash was being rec'ed. I also got the impression that her stories were thought rather kinky. Which was why I hadn't sought them out. I still find 'kinky' and 'Tolkien' to be concepts that don't go together, especially 'kinky' and 'Shire'. Kinky Haradrim and Easterlings, no problem.
But I have liked some Frodo scenarios very well in which he has responded well being restrained as part of his lovemaking. And for the very reasons discussed: he was supposed to be a hobbit who was terribly concerned about doing the right thing and not taking advantage of others to indulge his desires, or a hobbit who was such a seething kettle of emotion, he needed the security being restrained provided to feel he could really let loose. But none of these involved formal bondage set-ups. No silk scarves, no leather gear, see-through raincoats, etc. (unless the stories were meant to be comic, of course).
Sometimes Frodo's merely repressed, unable to be see himself as a hobbit to whom passion is suited -- a hobbit who hungers for the pleasures of love. So his lover restrains him the way I dreamed of being restrained when I was a teenager. The lover makes him submit to the pleasures he really is dying to experience. I am guessing, from Scarlet's remarks, that Fennelseed's story might end up falling into that category.
