Format: Drabble
Title: Bard and the Arkenstone
Genre: POV gapfiller

Bard and the Arkenstone
Bard stared at the thing in his hand, beautiful beyond any imaginings, it seemed to glow with a light of its own. He shuddered, and very carefully laid it down upon the table. With effort he let go, one finger at a time. He looked up to see the Elven-king looking at him with an expression of pity and understanding in his eyes. Then both of them turned to look at the pavilion's opening, through which a very valiant, clever little creature had so recently passed.
He had never before seen such bravery and generosity in such a small package

I can't wait to see Bard in the film.

(I still remember the one fic I read in which it was held that the Arkenstone was in reality the Silmaril that went into the earth with Maedhros. For some reason this tale manages to bring that tale to mind!)
