fic challenge meme

[auntiemeesh]

This made the rounds a couple of weeks ago and I was too crazed and stressed to do anything with it. Things have calmed down a bit now and I thought I'd give it a go. Gacked from almost everyone.

A-- go to my LotR Fanfiction at http://www.storiesofarda.com/author.asp?AuthID=613
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.

And for my quote:

Merry ducked his head under the force of his usually mild cousin’s ire.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a good one. I'm thinking that the mild cousin is Frodo, and I think it's from 'A Push out of the Door.'

Thanks for the correct link - I know better than to use the search results link. *palmface*

Now I'm off to find out what story that quote is really from. :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Yup, you're right. Here's another try:

Merry watched in amusement as Frodo tried to resist Pippin’s blandishments.

D'oh! I want to say it's another quote from "A Little Push out of the Door", but I really don't know where it's from. So you get to pick character and plot point. :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Actually it was from "The Culinary Lesson".

Sam, please. While they've been running for Rivendell for days after Weathertop, or just after they get there. (Either from his p.o.v. or other people observing or comforting him.)

"And when did you last eat?"

:)

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is a good one. At first I thought for sure it was 'Courage', but now I'm wondering if it's from 'Troll Slayer'? I think it's Aragorn chiding Gimli for not taking proper care of himself after finding Pippin.

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

Correct. It's from Troll Slayer. Do I get another chance?

Things were beginning to look a bit grim.

:)

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Well, you got me there. I'm going to take a random guess and say "A Picnic."

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

Nope. It*s from "Camping", here:

A further complication was revealed when he opened his pack and discovered that everything inside had received a thorough soaking, including the food. Things were beginning to look a bit grim. Well, he reassured himself, they still had the food in Theo’s pack, and further evaluation revealed that the fruit and cheese in his bag seemed undamaged, although the bread was soaked beyond redemption. The tea had also been destroyed but they had good stream water right in front of them so that was all right. Maybe things weren’t so bad, after all.

You know what I want the most but I'll give you a setting for it. Estella's or Merry's paretns first time of helping Merry battle Shadow on her/their own. For some reason Pip can't get away from the Smials and be with them through this.

:D

That was a good one. I haven't even thought about since about five minutes after it was written, lol.

Okay, it might be a few days before I have a chance to work on this (or it might be tonight, you never know), but I'll do my best to come up with something good for you. :)
