Now, this ficlet is different from the rest. While Mini Slash Ficlets 1-7 were written by ShelobTinuviel, this one was written as a joint effort, roughly one sentence at a time. For clarity, ST's sentences are in normal lettering, and EP41's are in bold.

Rúmil was in charge of keeping all the orcs out of Lothlórien, but he thought orcs weren't so bad. One day he saw this orc running around screaming, "No euphemizing! None!" He readied an arrow, aimed it at the hysterical orc, and shouted, "Halt! What business have you in Lórien? Halt, ho!" The orc stopped and said, "What did you just call me, pansy?" Rúmil then dropped his bow, his arrow, and his pants. The orc said, "I'm Shagrat and I like scented oil, but you'd better not be euphemizing at me." Rúmil laughed and started dancing around, saying, "Blow my horn! Unman me!" Shagrat said, "Only if you shag me like a dirty rat... get it?" Rúmil said, "That's not a euphemism, you tittery-woppet!" Shagrat blinked and said, "Don't you tell me not to euphemize... but you are quite foxy." Then they shagged. Ew.

Yeah... so that was weird. :-D
