A Clash of Rings

by eater of lembas

<Pippin is forced to work in an alehouse in Rivendell after it's overrun by Saruman's forces. Merry gets spitted and eaten along with whatever elves are still around>

Pippin filled the drinking-horns, trying to ignore the drunken goblin pinches. War chants almost drowned out the groans of dying elves hanging from the parapets and trees being tumbled into the river.
Then a pinch turned into a grab.

"Yesss, A hobbit knows where it is," a pale and pasty creature rasps at the laboring halfling. "Whisper in our ear where the nasty Bagginses put our precious and we'll helps you gets backs to the Shire, we promises."

Pippin recoiled from Gollum shaking his head violently, again regretting he'd dropped the sword Aragorn had given him at Weathertop. Poor Aragorn. He'd hidden his face against the stinking orcish hide when he was carried past what the Nazgul left of the man who would have been king.

"A hobbit will tells us," vowed Gollum, fading into the passing horde of orcs.

<Pippin dies. Boromir dies. Sam dies. Rohan falls. Bill the pony dies. Celeborn dies. Gondor falls. Gandalf dies (again). Frodo dies. Wormtongue dies. Legolas dies. Lothlorien falls. Eowyn goes bad then dies. Gimli dies. Elrond dies. Arwen dies. Saruman dies. Sauron reigns over all until the *really* bad guy comes down from the North and kills everyone left. Valinor falls and Iluvatar gets raped by balrogs.>
