Ok….. So this randomly took over me while listening to a Hetalia USUK Let My People Go vid. Then I listened to Lord of the Rings Deliver Us vid, then started to write this.
So I guess I should warn you about some yaoi content, namely Aragorn and Legolas, but nothing more than kissing. That doesn't come till later though, but no likey no ready, got it? Pippin nearly dies, but I like him too much to do that. *huggles Pippin* Oh, in here, Frodo never left for the Undying Lands with the Elves, he just moved to Rivendell like Bilbo did. Same with Gandalf, but he moves around like a nomad. I might call him the White Pilgrim from time to time. Oddly, with all the pairings I have for this thing, this is not a romance story. It's more angst-y, dramatic, has a bit of humor, friendship orientated, and yeah. I'll have a few elements from other movies, TV shows, and books thrown in here. This has a lot of my head cannon; Pippin learns a lot from Legolas and Aragorn (i.e. how to glare effectively, archery, healer stuff), Pippin actually has a really good brain but chooses not to use it, he's fluent in Sindarin and in Quenya because he learned it from Legolas and Aragorn, and stuff like that.
Pairings: AragornLegolas, PippinEsmerelda, MerryPearl, FaramirEowyn, minor SamRosie, and minor FrodoTigerlily.
Summary: After the War, Pippin, Merry, and Sam return to the Shire and settle down. Pippin gets a job as hired help for richest family in the Shire, Loamsdowns, he tends their gardens and animals, repairs things that need repairing, and landscapes. He falls for their daughter and is later betrothed to her. Merry farms and all that jazz, you know, what hobbits mainly do. He is betrothed to one of the best friends of Pippin's betrothed. Sam returns to life as a gardener and gets with Rosie, yadda yadda. Frodo is betrothed to the other best friend of Pippin's betrothed and they move to Rivendell. But, one day, their evil cousin Drogo pays the Shire a visit and takes the place over. Pippin was the only on to see his evilness and warns the other hobbits of the Fellowship and their betrothed. They quickly found Drogo's plan out, and attempt to stop him. They formulate a plan of their own and hurry to carry it out. Drogo attacks Pippin and leaves Pip for dead in the water. The Hobbits are terrified and Drogo attempts to get information out of them. Meanwhile, Pippin drifts through the river and Legolas finds him while looking for herbs down by the river between Mirkwood and Gondor. He rushes Pip to Aragorn and therefore saves his live. After explanation from Pip, Legolas, Aragorn, Frodo, Faramir, Eowyn, Eomer, Bilbo, Gandalf, Tigerlily, Gimli, and Pippin formulate a plan to free the Shire from Drogo's clutches. It was unanimously decided that Pippin would be the one to take down Drogo. They battle Drogo's forces, sickness, injuries, and finally Drogo himself.
Ok ON WITH THE STORY!
Peregrin Took sighed as he picked up the wheel barrow once again as he started for Deephollow, once again.
"Good Morning, Master Took. The fence is in need of repair, the garden needs to be tended to, and a few other jobs need be done. Get busy, chop-chop!" Lotho Loamsdown leered at him.
"Yes sir, Master Loamsdown. I'll have them done before dark!" Pippin said.
"No they shall be done before second breakfast. Esmeralda has a few fine suitors coming for second breakfast." Lotho snapped and walked away. Pippin's blood boiled. The Loamsdowns were the richest Hobbits in the entire Shire. They were also the most vain, snobbiest, and most respectable Hobbits anywhere. Lotho was that, more than any of his predecessors. His wife, Azaelia, was getting that way. Anyone in Deephollow was like that, well, except for Esmerelda Loamsdown. She was more content in clothes of boys than in dresses, hated vanity, snobbiness, rudeness, and the like. She had taken a liking to Pippin and tales of his adventures. She never called him a fool, idiot, or anything like that. She was fair, beautiful blonde, strait hair, freckles perfectly framed by pale skin, and light blue eyes. At times Pippin had to remind himself that she was not an elf. Perhaps that was why he had fallen for her. But, was that the reason for his boiling blood that he was in love with Esmerelda and she was about to be handed off, or was it anger at Lotho? For his insults, for his contempt at the poor Took no reason at all?
"Oh look it's the TOOK!" Meriadoc Loamsdown sneered.
"Yeah, I'm here, and I would appreciate it if you would leave me to do my work." Pippin snarled glaring at the Loamsdown cousins, who scattered rather quickly under his glare. 'Next time I see Strider and Legolas, I'm gonna thank them for teaching me how to glare effectively.' Pippin thought to himself. He immediately set to work on the fence. Within five minutes the fence was repaired. He then set to work on the on the garden and landscaping. He finished that with just enough time to tend to the animals before second breakfast. He strode into the pasture to find all the animals tended to.
"I thought I might help you out." Esmerelda said from behind him.
"Le hannon, Esmerelda." Pippin smiled.
"Will you walk with me?" Esmerelda blushed.
"Ae anírach." Pippin said. They started walking to a small group of trees.
"Where did you learn to speak Elvish?" She asked.
"Prince Legolas Thranduilion, also called Greenleaf, heir to the throne of Mirkwood. I am very good friends with him." Pippin answered.
"Wow, do you see him a lot?" Esmerelda asked.
"Not as much as we would like, no." Pippin sighed. They talked for half an hour until;
"They will be here soon. I do not wish for them to come." Esmerelda sighed.
"Then I must soon be off, Sam wished for me to have second breakfast with him and Merry." Pippin sighed.
"Pippin, do you love me? Love me like Faramir loved Eowyn of your tales? Do you?" Esmerelda blushed.
"Tancave, I do. Le melon, Esmerelda." Pippin replied without thinking.
"Then I choose you as my fiancé." Esmerelda said putting the necklace that the hobbit girls used to show that they were betrothed around Pippin's neck, as was the custom. Pippin kissed her, there underneath the oaks, whose seeds were rumored to come from Greenwood the Great.
"Esmerelda! Where have you been? Your suitors are waiting for you! You, Master Took, pray tell where have you been?" Azaelia snapped.
"Sorry to have kept your guests waiting;" Esmerelda said, "Pippin, come inside with me."
"Ah, beautiful Esmerelda, you're-" one suitor began.
"You may all go back to your hobbit holes. I have already chosen my husband." Esmerelda said loudly cutting him off.
"Who?" They cried in unison.
"Peregrin Took." She snapped. All the suitors now took notice of Pippin and saw the necklace around his neck. Grumbling, they left, Lotho fainted for shock, and Esmerelda and Pippin left for second breakfast with Samwise the Brave and Meriadoc the Magnificent.
Prologue is finished. Drago appear in Chapter 1, the first of their face offs, where Drogo lets slip some confusing words and not realizing that Pippin has spent months with Middle-earth's greatest warriors and knows a plot to take over someplace when he sees one. So yeah, we'll also see Frodo and Tigerlily in Rivendell next chapter too. Review please, I'll cast trolls and flamers into Mount Doom if I have too. Criticism is welcome.
