I just realized--truly, like, ninety seconds ago--that I wrote a few pages in response to prompts I'd requested on my personal journal months ago--so long ago that I've forgotten what the prompts actually were, alas. All the same: it's raw, unedited, unbetaed, no one's seen it except for magickalmolly, and even that was only a page or so.

If you know LotR well, you'll know when this takes place. If not....read the books again. ;D

I've been asked, repeatedly and with some emotion, to please please please unlock the fics herein--and so I have. I plan to dig out all the other THoUish bits I can and post them here, as well, as an ersatz archive. They won't be in order, but they'll be here. Eventually, for my own sanity!, I'll actually bring it all together on a website again, in order and live. But not yet. I'll let y'all know when/if that happens.

'Tis time I posted here about "Where'd THoU go?" In essence: it's in my head, my heart, and my hard drive!, but isn't on the internet, except for a few postings here and the occasional archive. I know some of you have saved some or all of it to your own computers or made hard copies. So it isn't totally gone. I've just....well, "retired" isn't the word. I'm involved in a major career change--ie, I'm (almost) halfway through a Master of Library and Information Sciences program--and am still working full time. Still have a family, and too many pets, external obligations, and a mortgage. What I don't have is time--for fandom, for THoU, for much of anything other than school, work, and home. My poor beleagured friends are more patient that I could have hoped, and I thank all of you for everything over these few years. I hope when the dust settles that My Boys will still be waiting, as well, and we can get on with telling more bedtime stories as the years pass.

Something I found from early 2003, while I was looking for something else entirely:

"Pippin."

"What?"

"Are you still angry with me?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry."

"Hmph."

::sad sigh::

"Pip."

"Urmph. What."

"Can't I make it up to you?"

"No. Go to sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"And take your hand out of my shirt."

::sigh::

"Pippin."

"Let me sleep."

"I love you."

"Uh-huh."

"Do you love me?"

"Only if you let me sleep."

"Oh. Well. Good night."

"G'night."

::sigh::

"Pippin."

"Merry."

"I'm cold."

"Hmph. All right, come closer, then."

::contented sigh::

"Pippin."

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure I can't make it up to you?"

"Ermph…a little lower….No, I mean no, you can't…unh…"

"Oh, All right, then. Good night."

"Merry!"

"Pip?"

"I didn't say you couldn't try."

"I dunno, Pip, you were awful mad. Maybe we'd best just talk it over in the morning."

"Merry."

"Hmm?"

"You can apologize, if you like."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be angrier….mmrmph!"

"Merry."

"Hmmmm?"

"I was awful angry. You may have to make it up to me all night."

"Oh, dear. Well, in that case, I'd best....mmrmph!"

"Merry."

"Mmph?"

"Hush up and start apologizing."

DISCLAIMERS: I don't own these characters.
SUMMARY: The Long-Expected Brat.
WARNINGS: Wild Took on the loose!
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This takes place during Bilbo's birthday party in the BOOK version. Pippin is eleven, Merry is nineteen, Vinca is twenty-one. This is not the adult-Merry-and-Pippin-steal-fireworks-go-boom characters from the movie (although I love those guys, too, you betcha). This is the responsible-tweener Merry who helps Frodo deal with the aftermath of Bilbo's disappearance, and the brat-child Pippin who...well, actually, this Pippin would steal fireworks, too...
