Title: I Can Find You
Characters: Pippin, Merry and Gandalf discussed
Source: Return of the King, movie
Rating: PG for battle's aftermath.
Word Count:100
Author's Note: I wanted to write an explicitly movieverse drabble for a challenge at another community.



I can find you anywhere, Merry. (Corpses everywhere, so much worse than I thought I'd ever see.) Do you remember our games of hide and seek? I always won, except, of course, for when I lost. (Do you miss home, too?) Gandalf's eyes say it's a fool's errand to search for you, but I know you're here, you'd not stay in Rohan, you'd not stay away from me. (Are you alive?) Where are you, you Brandybuck? I'll find you, mark my words. (Please be alive.) I can find you, Merry, I will find you. I'm going to take care of you.

Pippin's child-like litany seems perfect for this situation, when he was facing more death and horror than he ever imagined possible.

Merry's perspective? Please?

Thank you! That was just what I was thinking!

The problem with writing Merry''s perspective is that, if I write bookverse, Prof. Tolkien has already written it, and if I write movieverse it goes something like this:

"....ow.....fuck.....ow....get off me, dead orc.....ow.....bloody hell.....ow....."
