Fine Swords, Knives, Shield, Axes and Other Weapons for Sell or Trade. We accept commissions. (This is the stall for prompts set in Gondor and Minas Tirith.)

Comments are now closed but you can continue using the prompts; no claiming is necessary.

How to Post your Prompts:

Leave a comment with the subject line identifying the main characters, gen/het/slash/femslash/poly (if it’s not obvious), a brief description of the prompt, and possible warnings if needed (MPTTor SWG’s). The comment itself should be the prompt.

If for some reason you cannot make a subject line appear, please write and bold the relevant information as the first line of your prompt.

The subject lines and/or bold text will allow participants to easily scan for prompts they're interested in.

For example:

Subject line-- Frodo and Aragorn, gen, hurt/comfort at the Field of Cormallen
Comment-- While Frodo is unconscious after being rescued from Mount Doom, Aragorn cares for him.

OR

Comment-- Fëanor/Nerdanel, wedding night, sexual content

On their wedding night, Fëanor and Nerdanel end up not sleeping at all, as they are too busy enjoying each other.

The Cock in The Seige of Gondor (No, the Rooster)

[the-wavesinger.livejournal.com]

“And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the city, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, reckoning nothing on wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.”—The Siege of Gondor.

This has always been one of my favourite passages in the book, and it’s probably that it was a whole lot of symbolism (I’m tired, so not going to start being all literature-y now, but yes).

But the cock also must have had mundane origins, since it was a real, physical being. My question is, where did the cock come from? And why was it still in the city, since all the other cocks have apparently disappeared?

[The repetition of the word ‘cock’ is now making me giggle]

Never actually thought anyone would write this! I'm really looking forward to it :D.

Hope you'll enjoy it. The Rooster's owner jumped into my head last night and demanded I tell her story. I'm working on it now.
