For Mariole

[rabidsamfan]

Souvenir

Elladan went to sit by the youngest of the hobbits. The little one noticed his presence, and nodded warily.

“I have something for you,” Elladan said.

“More medicine?” Pippin grimaced. “Already?”

Elladan laughed. “Not till morning.” He held out his gift and the hobbit regarded the fresh troll-tooth with alarm. It was nearly the size of the hand Elladan dropped it into. “We troll fighters need reminders,” the elf explained, drawing out the old polished tooth he’d brought for comparison’s sake.

“Reminders of what?” Pippin asked,

“That the best way to defeat a troll,” Elladan winked, “is to run away.”



This worked out to be a drabble that could apply elsewhere, but it really is a drabble coming off of Mariole's wonderful story By Life or Death the first draft of which starts here and continues in her LJ, and which has absolutely knocked my socks off. Expect more drabbles...

Love it! Mariole's wonderful story will be inspiring *many* drabbles, I hope!

:)

Eeeeeeeeeek! You did it! *jumps up and down*

This is SO COOL! Thank you!

I'm so glad it was a tooth. For a minute I thought it was going to be a hand or something. *shivers* Love the humor!

*floats all the way home*

Thank you (and now I'm going to read Mariole's story, of course),

This is great, what an image of a big troll tooth in a little hobbit hand. I've been looking forward to another one of your drabbles! I didn't know about this story, so thanks, I can't wait to read it, and I'd read it all now if I could..

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Well a few anyway. If I ever stop getting long distance phone calls!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought about a skull, but that'd be a bit much to carry...

Besides, there are enough teeth that Merry and Aragorn can each have one too.

;)

Of course. And I hope you enjoy the story! I've been following it along and gnawing off my fingernails...

It's a great story, isn't it? I'm so pleased that Mariole doesn't mind my playing with it a little.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad I've steered you in the way of a great story. And that you liked the drabble too!

Good (heh) point.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Think of poor Pip in your AU when they reach the last battle. One look at the troll coming at him and "Oh, **** not again!"

[mariole.livejournal.com]

Heh heh heh that is exactly what I was thinking! Along with, "Oh, well, here I go AGAIN!" *takes the plunge*
