The Way of the Wombat

The idea for this came to me a few months ago - it just took a while to get it into a short story...

I reckon you can guess what inspired that!

P.S. - message toningloreth - this is totally safe for you to read.... :)

I wrote a short fic last year, in my Returnverse, called The Right Kind of Shield. A few people, in various places where it was posted, asked for a bit more. And so, when I reached this part of the timeline uploading the stories at Faerie, I decided to write part two.

As it relates to the wager mentioned in the last line of the original, it has become what someone at Twisting the Hellmouth called a smutlet, I fear... :)

I've just uploaded my Tolkien BigBang story - all 27,977 words of it, plus illustrations by ellynn_ithilwen, ready for 'opening day' on Monday.

But there is one more 'Small Return' short story that I need to get posted before that - as it is relevant to the story line of the BigBang piece - as was 'Voices in the Wind'.

Here it is - In this story Haldirin is ninety three – in elven terms of maturity he is just out of adolescence - a bit like a young man in his late teens, maybe twenty.

I have two or three short stories that I have written alongside writing the BigBang fic - or that won't really make sense when I post it. This is the first of them - it is set in Eryn Ithil about 70 years after the end of the Ring War - 20 or so years after the events of 'The Right Kind of Shield'.

Please point out any errors - even S2C is not infallible - if he was he'd be the pope.

Summary - Haldirin is now a young adult - something happens to make Tindómë consider increasing the size of the family...

Warnings - mention of death from old age, and conception!

In other news - D-d got to Madrid, and got to the gate for the outgoing flight in time - so is currently on her way to Buenos Aires about 36 hours later than expected, but on her way.

This is a short story in the Returnverse. It is especially for this time of year - and is set a couple of winters after Brotherhood. This means that Tindómë (Dawn) and the Galadhrim brothers have decided that, when the other Galadhrim relocate to East Lorien, they will go, instead, to Legolas' settlement in Ithilien - but the moves are not yet made.

This is another short fic, set in the Returnverse, using a Shmoop Bingo prompt - I'll tell you what the prompt is at the end.

This particular little story takes place during Dawn/Tindómë's visit to Ithilien at the very end of Brotherhood - so she is a little over twenty. She met Galanthir in 'Brotherhood...

I have fun with the word count - so the actual story really is exactly 1,000 words long.
