 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic)
comment
A The Lord of the Rings fanfiction by Zoop. Technically, it's a fanfiction of a fanfiction, being based upon minor characters mentioned in helenamarkos' fanfic Splint, although Zoop collaborated extensively with helenamarkos to make it accurate to the world and rules she made; with helenamarkos' blessing, Freedom's Limits is regarded as canon within the Splint universe.The fic revolves around the tragic love story between Madavi, a human girl, and Smador, a young Orc, both of whom were once slaves in Barad-dûr.The story is on-going, though not updated regularly, and can be read here.

Rape as Drama
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_12dd1d4c
comment
Rape as Drama: Some of the female slaves, including Madavi (who's only thirteen), are used as sex slaves by the human soldiers fighting for Sauron. They don’t really seem to consider it a violation as most people would – they don't actively fight back, they view being 'chosen' as an inconvenience more than anything and Madavi doesn't even consider it the worst thing she's ever had done to her. That said, they're told not to fight back to get it over with more quickly, it's doubtful the soldiers would stop if they protested and Madavi doesn't even seem to fully understand what is being done to her. Not to mention, she's only thirteen. Madavi doesn't give it much thought, until Smador informs her how sex is actually supposed to function between friends. She is surprised, saying she "didn't think it was meant for me" and they go on to have a very happy, consensual sexual relationship.

Tamer and Chaster: Compared to Splint. While Freedom's Limits does have sexual content, it makes use of the Sexy Discretion Shot and has comparatively far fewer sex scenes than Splint, which tends to be much more explicit.

Darker and Edgier: It actually manages be bleaker than Splint in places, mostly because of the Foregone Conclusion that both protagonists die horribly. Also like Splint, it's a lot more graphic and sexual compared to The Lord of the Rings.

comment
The Cameo: Aragorn very briefly appears when the slaves are liberated, though Madavi can't see him well from the back of the crowd. Grazad and Rukhash are both mentioned; in fact, Smador indicates he and Rukhash hooked up. Cadoc also appears briefly in Chapter Six along with Hedon (though the latter's name isn't mentioned).

Parents as People: Inglenn mentions that because she felt sorry for her children being uprooted during the War of the Ring, she overindulged them and gave them a lot of leeway – especially when it came to Seri. Unfortunately, this resulted in her becoming a Spoiled Brat.

Ambiguously Brown: Madavi, Pratima and Sima are implied to be Haradrim (Southrons) or possibly Easterlings, and Madavi is explicitly stated to have black hair. In artwork helenamarkos has done of them, they're depicted as brown-skinned with dark hair and eyes.

Uncertain Doom: Subverted. Madavi and Pratima get separated from Sima while escaping the collapsing tower and never see her again, leading them to assume she didn't make it out. However, Splint reveals that Sima did survive and got a comfortable job working in an inn, though it's unclear if Pratima and Madavi ever learn of this.

 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_2cac89cf
comment
The Ingenue: Madavi qualifies as this. Though she's not a virgin for most of the story (and in fact is quite sexually active later on), she's young, beautiful, kind-hearted and rather innocent and naïve. Some of this is justified to due being Born into Slavery and never setting foot outside of Barad-dûr before she was fourteen, but even Pratima says she can be too trusting at times. Given the story's Foregone Conclusion, this ultimately leads to tragedy (see also Too Good for This Sinful Earth below).

comment
Low Fantasy: Rather like parent series Splint, Freedom's Limits doesn't really delve into the more fantastical elements of its setting and is heavily focused upon individual conflicts affecting few people beyond the main characters. Particularly compared to Splint, the vast majority of the characters are human, Smador being the only major non-human character.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Dellon is fine with executing any orcs he comes across, executing humans who fraternize with them and killing hybrid infants in front of their parents...but he draws the line when one of his men tries to molest Madavi before hanging her, saying that it "isn't right". Considering they're going to kill her either way and they just brutally killed her lover and baby in front of her, Madavi seems to consider this as a cold comfort more than anything.

Bad Boss: Were you really expecting the Dark Lord to be a kind and considerate boss, who lets his slaves openly criticise or question him, or have free healthcare and vacations? Matron, the overseer of the kitchen slaves, is a miserly and short-tempered old hag, who beats the slaves with a switch and threatens to feed them to the orcs if they don't work fast enough or talk to each other too much.

Bittersweet Ending
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Despite the Downer Beginning of this fic, a Bittersweet Ending is pretty much guaranteed, as later chapters in Splint confirm that Amani, Madavi and Smador's daughter, successfully escaped the orc hunters and eventually met up with her paternal orc grandmother, who took her in and taught her healing. This means that although Madavi, Smador and Rauni are dead they live on through Amani, who was able to build a happy and peaceful life for herself.

Screaming Birth: Averted for the most part. Amani's birth is depicted as painful and exhausting for Madavi, but not particularly traumatic, even though she's giving birth in a small underground den with only the rather inexperienced Smador and Pratima to help her. The only thing that goes wrong is Himdol unexpectedly turning up.

Beautiful Slave Girl
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_56a77d27
comment
Beautiful Slave Girl: Madavi and a few other attractive slave girls are depicted as such - some of the particularly pretty ones specifically become "whores" when they're older (they live in much nicer conditions compared to the kitchen slaves and don't have to do hard labour, so for some slaves it's an enticing option despite the nature of their position). It's especially squicky in Madavi's case, as she's only thirteen when she starts attracting attention from the soldiers.

Fantastic Racism: Men and Orcs towards each other, obviously (more so from the side of Men in this fic, as it focuses more upon their perspective). However, some Men even show prejudice and discrimination towards the Mûlrim (what they call the freed slaves of Mordor, many of whom are implied to be from further east or south), though not with the same level of hostility they show towards Orcs.

Because You Were Nice to Me: It's implied one of the reasons Smador warms so quickly to Madavi is because she treats him like a person and offers to share her food with him. He implies she's one of the few people in Mordor who cares about what happens to him and treats him as someone of value.

Saved by Canon: Sima and Amani both eventually show up in Splint, which is set three years after Freedom's Limits, so we know they'll ultimately be alright in this story.

Not Used to Freedom
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_77d494f0
comment
Not Used to Freedom: The slaves freed from Mordor following the destruction of the One Ring have known nothing but slavery all their lives, sometimes over multiple generations. As a result, they don't even understand what it means to be 'free' and wonder if Aragorn is supposed to be their new master. The same goes for the orcs, who were also slaves under Sauron. Madavi and several other former slaves end up going to work as farmhands and servants because they have nowhere else to go and know no other life than serving people; Madavi slowly begins to grasp what freedom means but she still can't quite figure out where the boundaries of freedom are drawn and why (hence the title of the fic) and comes off as very submissive to others at times. The orcs aren't so lucky; Men are not willing to forgive them for the atrocities of the War of the Ring, resulting in orcs turning to raiding human settlements to survive because they know nothing else.

Bonding over Missing Parents: Madavi and Smador, a little bit. During their early conversations, Madavi reveals her mother is long dead while Smador was taken from his mother and rarely sees her. Neither of them ever knew their fathers, either.

Boy Meets Girl: The first few chapters generally revolve around this; Madavi meets Smador while he's stealing food from the kitchens and they become friends. When Barad-dûr collapses due to the destruction of the One Ring, Smador helps Madavi escape, then leaves to help the other Orcs and they are separated, with Madavi not knowing if he made it out. Months later, she and Smador meet up by chance while Smador is looking for food and they rekindle their relationship.

Upbringing Makes the Hero: Inglenn brings this up in a conversation with Madavi, expressing surprise that she and Pratima turned out to be such well-adjusted and polite girls despite growing up in Barad-dûr surrounded by Orcs and all manner of nasty company. Madavi starts to say that not all the Orcs were horrible, thinking of her close friend Smador, but then thinks better of it when Inglenn looks shocked, saying instead that she never really interacted with any Orcs.

Tastes Like Friendship: Smador and Madavi first become friends when she offers him some of her food, so he won't have to steal from the kitchens. She continues sharing her own rations with him; much later, after she's freed, she sneaks food from her employers to him when he struggles to find his own food.

Fantasy Contraception
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_da512040
comment
Fantasy Contraception: Matron provides slave girls who get 'chosen' by soldiers with a kind of plant (it's only ever referred to as "the herb") which prevents pregnancy, as having a bunch of children running around would be inconvenient and make the slaves less productive. Madavi never mentions taking the herb after she starts having sex with Smador; he made sure to only sleep with her when wasn't 'in heat' and so assumed they'd be in the clear (they're both quite young and know very little about reproduction). They find out that biology doesn't quite work like that when Madavi does indeed get pregnant.

Surprise Pregnancy
 Freedom's Limits (Fanfic) / int_db52f2ff
comment
Surprise Pregnancy: Madavi's first pregnancy comes as a complete shock and definitely wasn't planned. She doesn't even realise she's pregnant until another woman points out the symptoms. Smador is shocked too, to the point of But You Can't Be Pregnant!, as he thought he'd been careful not to sleep with Madavi when she was in heat. He then realises that humans are physically different from orcs in that regard, which hadn't occurred to him before. To be fair, they're both pretty young and naïve; Madavi's only around fourteen/fifteen and Smador is implied to be around the same age.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Seri continues taunting Pratima after she was injured falling off a wagon, everyone is shocked when Madavi, of all people, smacks her across the face.

Too Good for This Sinful Earth

comment
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Poor Madavi. She doesn't even fully understand why she's being executed, wondering what on earth she did that was so terrible that she and her family should be condemned to death (her only 'crime' is falling in love with an orc in a world that doesn't tolerate such things). In her final moments, she politely asks the Powers That Be (asks, not demands) to please let her go to Smador in the afterlife – and that if that's not possible, would it be too much trouble to make sure her son finds his way to his father so he won’t be alone and afraid?

Cool Big Sis: Pratima towards Madavi and Sima. She's the oldest and most worldly of the three, doing her best to advise and look out for her friends.

Downer Beginning / How We Got Here: The story opens with Madavi about to be executed for the 'crime' of loving an orc, with the rest of the fic serving as an extended flashback.

Shown Their Work: Zoop extensively collaborated with helenamarkos and looked over her notes for Splint in order to make the characters, timeline and setting accurate.
