This I gotta try:

The "Stump the Author" meme -- I gacked it from cara_chapel because it looks like fun.

A-- go to my LOTR fanfiction and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.
C-- I'll write a scene (in this case, a ficlet of 100-400 words) for the LOTR characters of your choice with the plot point of your choice to anyone who stumps me.
D-- If I get more than ten responses, I will do the first ten ficlets who stump me.

Obviously, you'd do well to pick something challenging, but unless it's really unique, I'm going to say it should be more than five words.

Have at thee!

I thought I'd never manage to stump you...

It was from your contribution to "To Tell a Tale".

Pippin frowned and sat up straighter. "Which one is that?" he said. There were a lot of Tom Tarrytoes stories, and he'd thought he knew them all. "The one where he climbed to the top of the beanstalk? I've never heard it called that."

"Nay, it's the one where… well, I'd best tell it some other time, and then you'll know," Sam said, smiling.

"I want to hear it now." Pippin crossed his arms and scowled at Sam.

"Tis too silly. I'd have you laughing and coughing, and then who knows what Strider'd have to say."

"Please, Sam. I promise not to laugh too hard."

"Well, all right then." Sam produced a neat roll of knitting from his pocket, straightened it out to work on and began.

Congratulations! What do you want for your ficlet?

Oops, sorry, I thought I'd answered this.

Beregond, of course. Beregond and Bergil would be nice, or Beregond and Pippin, but definitively Beregond.

Please?
