I do believe that the layers of plotting going on here were more intricate than the plan of attack on Mordor. I wonder about Mistress Baxster overhearing Aragorn and Faramir... I'm sure she keeps her mouth shut about all sorts of strange things overheard in these halls, but I wonder if she merely files them away as one more oddity or if she wonders at night just what deep intrigue goes on in this palace. Also, "knock the other's weapon from the air with our own weapon" that sounds. Chaotic, but skillful chaotic and... really fun to watch. I'm delighted by the picture of Legolas and Gimli as so distractable by dint of their competitiveness!
So much betrayal and strawberry preserve...

Ahhhhh! I'm screaming! XD

I'M FINALLY REVIEWING THIS! I read it on the plane and ended up dying of guilt the whole time that I couldn't review until this morning, the day before I get back. Anyways. I LOVED THIS! It was ingenious. Poor Mithrandir; he'd better do something to get back at them all!

Thank you so much for writing this for me! (And yes, I was too lazy to sign in on my uncle's computer.)

Aaah, the classic, and much beloved, Fellowship mischief trope! Well donethis was really fun, and I loved how it ended for Gandalf. I had to go and check, but yes I did get the chapter reference!

Gandolf's dropping the eaves!
XD oh, the constant acts of treachery and betrayal are WAY too funny. Funny how strawberry tarts can turn brothers against each other and get Legolas and Gimli to work together.

Oh my, those must be the most delicious tarts and pastries in all of Middle-earth. What a complex conspiracy against the Dark Forces guarding the treasures. A delightful tale!
