    Summary

    “'Too fair for love of mortal Men,'” Legolas repeated, eyebrows pinched. “What do you mean? Beren was no Man.”

    “What!” Gimli gaped at him. “That’s the whole point of the tale; what are you talking about?”

    “What are you talking about?”

    Gimli recites the Lay of Leithian. It is not the story Legolas knows.

    Summary

    Summary: AU-Everyone Lives. A celebratory banquet to thank the allies of Erebor after the Battle of Five Armies goes slightly (very) awry. Maybe Thranduil shouldn’t have commented that dwarves were just drunken ruffians…

    A/N: In gratitude for Vala 411’s very kind birthday present (my precious) of a story about Hiccuping dwarves, I may have volunteered to treat her to some drunken elves. I take no responsibility for any consequences or elvish embarrassment. And I may have got carried away…feels crept in...and a conga line...

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And I asked Bilbo to brew up some typical Shire drinks,” Bofur admitted. “He said he only knew one-Old Hamfast Gamgee’s Lethal Bywater Moonshine. So he brewed quite a lot over the winter. I believe it is pretty strong…”

    “How strong?” Nori asked, curious despite himself.

    “Bombur had some and he was out after half a mug,” Bofur admitted with a grimace. “For eight hours. I think it probably rates somewhere between Azog and Smaug for lethalness…”

     

    They stared as six Elves got onto the table and linked arms. Their fellows started clapping as the Elves started bouncing up and down…before all, in perfect harmony, high-kicking their right legs. Then they bounced again, swivelling slightly and high-kicking with their left.

    “La-la-lalala-la-LA LA-la-la-lala-LA-LA…” the Elves sang as they clapped along and the line continued high kicking. Tauriel and Kili filled their goblets again before they came to crouch by Thorin and Bilbo.

    “What are they doing?” Bilbo hissed. The female Elf looked a little self-conscious.

    “It is a secret celebratory dance,” she said reluctantly. “I think the translation into Common Speech is…the Can Can…”
    Never heard of it,” Dwalin said.

    “Thats because it’s secret,” Tauriel said in an exasperated tone.

    “Why…Why…Why…Delilah…”

    “What the…?” Thorin murmured as a chorus of Elvish voices rose above flutes and the sounds of the other Elves singing along to the dancers.

    “Popular Elvish ballad,” Tauriel said quickly.

    “Drinking song…” Kili guessed.

    “I get knocked down…but I get up again…you are never gonna keep me down…”

    A chorus of dwarves voices roared in reply, fists slamming on the table.

    “And that?” Tauriel asked, frowning.

    “Dwarvish drinking song!” Kili replied proudly. Thorin groaned.
