Summary
"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”
“No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.
Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

Summary
His father named him "wanderer"; but everyone called him Pippin. He was the youngest Companion of the Fellowship of the Ring, an innocent and foolish lad who walked heedlessly into legend. Twelve years after the War of the Ring, feeling trapped by responsibilities he doesn't want, Peregrin Took struggles with a restlessness he can no longer deny. Now, traveling amidst the vast and unexplored vistas of Far Harad, caught up in a war against a tyrannical Magician and the quest for a legendary Jewel, this impossibly curious, recklessly courageous hobbit discovers unexpected friends, devious foes, and a girl who will claim his heart, as he searches for the meaning of home.

Summary
"I heard the monster was some kind of frog that cries a lot. Someone told me he'd fed it."
"Fed it?"
"Yes, he said the Ringbearer brought it back with him, and now it's staying in a guest house and it eats raw meat, and it stays in the dark all the time and screams if you open a window to let in the sunlight, and if you bring it water to splash in it'll tell you a riddle. I am certain he invented all of it. He thinks he's quite special now he's an errand boy in the palace. But, as we were telling absurd tales..."
Gollum stepped out into the street behind them. "There was no monster," he said shrilly, "no! No, no- don't talk about things you know nothing about- it is silly! Foolish!"
"I'm sorry?" one of the teens said, turning to blink at him, and another said: "Who are you?"
Gollum had no answer. How could he answer? What would he say? He squirmed, and said gollum in his throat, and turned on his heel to scurry away.
---
There was a third hobbit on Mt. Doom that day. But no one likes to talk about that, now do they, precious?(AU. Gollum made a different choice at Cirith Ungol. And, awkwardly enough, he's not dead, somehow, so, uh, now what?)
