Title: To find a new green
Author Name: elliska
Prompt: "I sit beside the fire and think" -- Bilbo's poem from Fellowship of the Ring, "The Ring Goes South"
Summary: Legolas has one, final favor to ask of Gimli, Elf-Friend.
Rating: General
Warnings: Brief mention of canon deaths
Beta: picara
Author's Notes: This song has always made me cry. I love it, but it makes me cry. And I've always thought it was very applicable to my head-canon for so many characters. Under pressure of time, for this event, I've stuck with the character I know best. But I may eventually make this into a series for the entire Fellowship and for some of the other major characters, like Elrond, Arwen and Celeborn.

Strangely, writing short pieces is extremely difficult for me. I hope this works. :-)
