Title: The Lass in the Apple Tree
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Rating: As it is: PG As it was intended to be: PG-13
Pairing: Pippin/Diamond [Merry/Pippin, Merry/Estella, maybe Estella/Diamond]
Notes: I so want to write this one. I have things I really want to say with it, about relationship interrelationships, about love and fidelity and monogamy(or rather lack thereof) and how female characters don't have to be evil awful things. But it never came together out of ideas and notes.
Hobbitlasses were supposed to stop climbing trees when they were grown and married. Diamond climbed one anyway. But then, sensible hobbitlasses did not marry wild adventurers, even if they had intoxicatingly mischievous green eyes, and dutiful wives did not run off from their husbands after a fight, and Diamond had just done both. Now she sat as far up an apple tree as she could, breathing in the scent of the ripening apples, trying to breathe in their calm,
[someone calls her, she startles] Diamond had expected Pippin to come after her, and was working on some choice words for when he did, but the hobbit who stood below her on the grass was Merry. [they talk. He explains some stuff to her, and tells her that Pip loves her, that she has brought the future back to him the way Estella and Rose did to their husbands. Mention Frodo; Diamond would have liked to have met him. At end Pip climbs tree quietly while they are talking and joins them.
Maybe do when she and Pip are engaged, not wed.
Mention why the North-Tooks live in Long Cleeve; a young Took lad moved up there to be with the girl he'd chosen. Streak of stubbornness.
(Or maybe have ESTELLA climb up there.
The girl in the apple tree.
(find two challenges for this to fit)
Challenge #16
Alternatively: light, rock, sun, crown; wistful
and #20
Words: haze, quiet, challenge, support
Mood: Empowered
