Chapter 1: Elrond's Not-So-Hospitable Day
Chapter Text
Author: Aislynn Crowdaughter
Genre: Humor. Cartoon.
Rated: none
Warnings: Complete silliness.
Summary: "I was there, Gandalf! I was there on the day the famous hospitality of Lord Elrond of Rivendell failed! I was there three full weeks ago!"
Author's note: This was originally inspired by the HASA "Death To Fanon!" Challenge, which suggested to write something including a canon character acting 'OOC' aka differently than we know them from fanon; for example Elrond being not so hospitable, for once. However, since a) the challenge is long closed and b) the requirements were "No humor fic", it does not exactly qualify. Still, I hope you enjoy! -- Aislynn

However, I do hope the cartoon works even without knowing that story. This cartoon, too, was originally posted as a begetting day gift to my dear friend and beta Randy, who hopefully won't begrudge me sharing it here. :) -- Thank You!

Chapter Text
Not A Bard!
by Aislynn Crowdaughter
Fandom: LOTR
Genre: Humor. Cartoon.
Rated: general
Warnings: Thorough silliness...
Summary: As an Efling, Legolas had his own ideas about his destiny...
...and they did not exactly include becoming a bard.

This cartoon about Legolas' childhood plans for his own purpose in life (which did not necessarily match the plans of his Adar) was originally a begetting-day gift for my dear reviever, part-time-beta and friend Randy_o.
It was inspired by Jael's great story arc about Thranduil, especially by her stories When Trees Are Bare and To Wrap An Elven Princeling; in the first story, Thranduil decides that his son shall be a healer or a bard, not a warrior. Er, yes, exactly...
Go read them, they are great! :)
