Title: Not a Hostage
Fandom: Legend of Drizzt/Lord of the Rings (movies)
Pairing/Characters: Drizzt Do'Urden/Catti-brie & Original Human Character(s)
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 23 - Legend of Drizzt and Lord of the Rings (movies): “‘Hostage’ is a very strong word.”

Not a Hostage

Drizzt did not pace or show any vexation as he watched the war-chieftain with his knife at Catti-brie's throat. It was sheer misfortune that had led to her capture, even as they traveled the lands to be the King's Eyes, much as they would have for goodly rulers in their first world.

It helped that Strider had befriended Drizzt many years before, when the drow had first fallen into this world by accident rather than design.

No, Drizzt looked at this man, an Easterling, and slowly smiled.

"We came to explore, to see what the people of Rhûn had made for themselves, now that King Elessar has made peace with your people," Drizzt began, forcing the chieftain to keep eyes on him as the one who was so unusual. "This is not a peaceful gesture. You should let her go now."

"Bah to your peace, and to your king! You will do as I say and disarm, for I hold your concubine as my hostage for your fate!"

Drizzt's smile only widened. "That is a very strong word, but I fear you have misinterpreted. I recommended the best solution for your survival, and that of your camp."

The man shifted, all but puffing up with rage —

— and Catti-brie moved, head back into the man's face, booted foot back and down the instep. Nor did the knife cut her more than a scratch, as she twisted free and proceeded to show dwarf-trained strength in her blows, leaving the war-chieftain crumpled. Drizzt hadn't been idle, even as he spared no more attention to his companion, taking the time to beat back the guards that had ringed them in.

He mostly let them live, disarming them with fast, impossible to parry blows. When Catti-brie joined him at his side, he made a gesture with the tip of a sword, and a way parted among the beaten, shocked guards.

The Easterling that had begun this all lay crumpled in a fetal position, breath coming in ragged painful gasps, and not a man moved to help him.

Drizzt thought they'd find a new chief soon.

Title: Required Rudeness
Fandom: Lord of the Rings (movies)/Sword-Dancer Series
Pairing/Characters: Samwise Gamgee & Tiger
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 22 - Lord of the Rings (movies) and Sword-Dancer Series: Asking for directions

Required Rudeness

The surly horse actually caught Samwise's attention before the man, but then he took note of the shoulder-scabbarded sword and decided he'd best do his duty. They didn't need more trouble at all, and he meant to make that happen!

"Here now, traveler, the Shire has no wish of men that live by the sword," Samwise said in a direct breach of being kind and hospitable. Then again, it was his job to be brusque, as he knew the signs of danger better than most.

"Seeking directions to a place called the Grey Havens," the man said in an accent Samwise could not place. "Word is my basha headed that way."

Samwise's eyebrows rose into his hairline, but if the man was bent on that pilgrimage, he'd let the elves deal with it.

"West a bit more, straight on to the river," Samwise offered.

The man nodded and rode on, taking his strangeness — and that well-used sword — away from the Shire. Maybe nothing would have come from inviting him to rest with them a time, but Samwise didn't put his faith in maybe. He dusted off his hands, well-shod of duty for the day and went to find a pipe.

Title: Seeking Knowledge
Fandom: Lord of the Rings/Dragonlance
Pairing/Characters: Aragorn & Tanis Half-Elven
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 21 - Lord of the Rings (movies) and Dragonlance: “I’ve heard of you!”

Seeking Knowledge

Despite his office in life, sometimes Aragorn felt the need to be Strider. In such times, Arwen would cover his absences with typical elven political excuses, well-able to lead the minor matters in her own right. No one expected the king in well-worn clothes of an adventurer to wander between places, seeking inns and taverns to listen to the people.

On this particular wandering, he found himself staring at a man of medium frame and a bit tall, his hair and beard quite red like the tales of Maedhros spoke of. A bow and quiver were visible against the wall behind the man's chair. Aragorn was all but certain he had heard a tale of this man, and observed more details. Something about foreign lands plagued by dragons, another offshoot — or more — of Elves. It was likely something Faramir had mentioned to him in correspondence, now that he considered it.

Yes, the weave of cloth, the crafting of tools and leather all had a different appearance than items made in Aragorn's extensive roving. The red hair and beard finally sparked the final piece of Faramir's descriptions, and Aragorn realized he was looking at another noble hiding among commoners. Granted, the man was from far enough away that he had a much easier time just wandering anonymously.

He finished appraising everything from the bar he'd stopped at, took the mug of ale he'd asked for and headed straight for the man's small table.

"Greetings, Far-Traveler," Aragorn said with a disarming smile. "What brings a leader of the people of Krynn so far from his lands?"

The man studied Aragorn for a moment, then leaned on his arms against the table to be closer. "For you to know such, I think I may have found the one I seek. I have heard that a mighty ranger had traded in his cloak for a crown, but perhaps the gods are guiding me fairly.

"Tanis Half-Elven."

"You may have indeed been guided well," Aragorn said, though he did wonder at gods meddling so. "What could the purpose be?"

"To learn, if in all the travels this man had, he ever encountered a shrine to one not of these lands, with rumors of an artifact buried near it," Tanis said. "There is trouble stirring in Krynn once more, and it is hoped that the Tears of Shinare can help bring some peace, or at least breathing room."

"Ahh, well, I see why you would consider a ranger the kind of man that might have stumbled over this," Aragorn said. "It is not, however, specific enough for my memory to aid you. Perhaps you would see your way to traveling with me, to where better memories and resources exist?"

Tanis sized him up again, then gave a nod. "You seem as the tales I heard, so I agree."

"And you meet the one I was given as well," Aragorn agreed. "We shall do all we can to help your lands survive the coming storms of danger."

Title: A Needed Ally
Fandom: Legend of Drizzt/Sword-Dancer Series
Pairing/Characters: Catti-brie Battlehammer & Del
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 20 - Legend of Drizzt and Sword-Dancer Series: Unexpected meeting

A Needed Ally

Catti-brie would have given a lot of treasure to never see a desert again, but here she was in one that made Calimshan look civilized. The next time she was offered 'something different, something new, just track this wee artifact down' by ANY Harper, she would remember to say 'no'.

About the second time she broke a man's wrist for trying to touch her in brutish ways, she heard a 'ssstt' from one side and a welcome, if unexpected face peered at her, all pale in a sea of darker shades.

"Del?" Catti asked as she made it through the throng to the woman.

"You're a long way from where we met," the elder woman said. "Why are you in the Southron lands?"

"Looking for a trinket that supposedly got traded down here. Care to help me out?"

"Call the debt for the Moonshaes closed, and you have my aid. Possibly my partner's."

Catti-brie wrinkled her nose. "Ne'er counted a debt on helping ye. But if'n it means ye can help me before I have tae kill a man, done!"

"Kill one, ten more will appear," Del answered with a sigh.

"Glad as I met up with ye," Catti-brie said.

"You might not be if Tiger's still addled with liquor." Del's wry smile made her look a little younger, and Catti was glad to see it on her. She'd found the woman very driven, hard-pressed by her past, and too rare in her smiles.

"Dwarf-raised. Can deal with the hangover," Catti told her with a grin.

"You haven't met Tiger yet," Del warned. "Good thing you wear your blade at the hip; over the shoulder is a definite mark of a sword-dancer, and you'd be challenged to prove you can use them."

"I think I'd prove capable," Catti-brie answered with justifiable pride in her skill. After all, Drizzt had been her teacher.

"Yes, but it brings even more attention than just your looks."

"I should nae ask how many ye had to prove your skill to?"

"I lost count," Del said blandly, leading up a narrow alley before getting them inside a cooler building. Both took in the small space, lacking any person at all. "Hmm, maybe he didn't make it back this morning.

"So tell me about the trinket, while we have peace from Tiger's belly-aching."

Catti-brie settled to do just that, eager to be done with this quest.

Title: Wary Arrival
Fandom: Dragonlance/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Raistlin Majere & Dalamar & Drizzt Do'Urden
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 19 - Legend of Drizzt and Dragonlance: Very bright lights

Wary Arrival

Drizzt Do'Urden was not a man to allow anything to leave him flat-footed for long. The tail had whipped around too fast, flung him back through the gate when it stole his breath with the thud against his chest, but he rolled with the blow, and came up, swords already back in their ready position… to find the gate had no visible sign on this side, and his eyes were streaming tears from the change of tree-dappled shade and sun to the glare of multiple light sources in a confined space.

Sound told him two bodies, both in loose rustling clothes, and the air pressure spoke of several obstacles in a small space.

"Deal with him; he's some sort of elf," a voice said, and Drizzt realized the sound of it was being translated through the arm-band he'd been gifted with, an artifact for translation.

Thankfully, it worked on his words too.

"Peace, unless you are in league with the dark ranger and druid I was fighting," Drizzt said.

"Magic," a second voice said, and now Drizzt knew where both were more clearly.

"How interesting," came a sardonic reply to that, and Drizzt could all but feel the jaded sense in the speaker.

"If you are both familiar with magic," he hazarded, "I can try and trade knowledge," he offered, smelling books and ink, "for a return to my rightful place before any of the archmages I work with come seeking me."

"Deal," the second voice answered, with only the slightest sigh from the first. As a show of peace, Drizzt flipped his swords into their scabbards, and ignored his injuries in favor of forcing his eyes to work. One elf, one… that was not quite a human, if he were to guess, for all the man likely had begun as such.

"Drizzt Do'Urden."

"Dalamar Nightson," the elf with bronze skin said. "And he is Raistlin Majere," he added when the once-human did not respond to the question of names implicit in the introduction. "Let us get our impressions of the portal that spit you out, and then we will decide further how to proceed."

Drizzt nodded once, and started working on his injuries, relieved that Mielikki's magic could aid him still — and aware that the one called Raistlin was studying him more than where he'd fallen from. There was a sense of foreboding, and Drizzt would stay on guard.

Title: Blue
Fandom: Dragonlance/Sword-Dancer Series
Pairing/Characters: Kitiara uth Matar, Skie, Deliliah
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 18 - Dragonlance and Sword-Dancer Series: With a color as the title

Blue

These lands that Del explores are nothing like the homeland she is exiled from. There are strange beings, stranger creatures, and this one… huge, reptilian, graceful fills her view and she is unafraid. Only as an afterthought does she take in the human woman upon the creature whose hide is so blue as to rival sapphires in their brilliance.

"She's not afraid of us, Skie," the human says aloud, voice meant to carry, and Del can understand, because of the exile ritual that cast her here.

"I fear nothing on sight, and few on action," Del declares, and the woman laughs.

"Skie, should we keep this strange woman, so pale and pretty who carries her sword on her back like a gladiator?"

The blue creature turns its head to appraise Del with one baleful eye. "Such lack of fear is commendable," a basso voice comes from it, and Del stands her ground when the large head pokes toward her. "I would consent to allowing you to bring her back."

"I suggest you climb up here swiftly, as the army is not far behind me… and most of them will only see your curves, not that steel," the hard-muscled woman says with a quirk of her mouth that says much on her opinions of such.

Del doesn't hesitate. This woman has power, and the — Skie — Skie radiates it as well. If she is to be exiled, she wishes power of her own, to find her way home some day.

"Call me Del." She climbs swiftly, aided by one long line tossed down.

"Kitiara. And Skie, as mentioned."

No more words follow, as Skie flings himself back into the blue heavens above, and Del learns the thrill of wind rushing around her, tucked in behind Kitiara.

This is a good start here.

Title: Road Ramblings
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Zanna Do'Urden & Niska Bentleaf
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Thirty-First - Zanna & Niska are traveling together to Nesme

"Do you think I should use an illusion?" Zanna asked, toying with the reins of her summoned mount, watching the land around them, even if the road was so much safer now.

"Stars and trees, no!" Niska said, firmly casting that idea to the side. "If those asinine fools have not gotten past themselves in all these years, they can damn well shove it for this. You were as much a part of the defense as any of their Riders or our Knights."

Zanna grinned. "I thought I was supposed to be learning diplomacy."

"Not with these idiots," Niska avowed.

Title: Big City
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Alustriel Silverhand & Catti-brie Battlehammer
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Thirtieth - Alustriel & Catti with the title "Big City"

"Stay close," Alustriel murmured in her partner's ear as they passed an almost invisible line in this sprawling city of thousands. Baldur's Gate was so much larger than Silverymoon in number of people as well as size, but it was densely packed, much like Waterdeep.

Catti-brie kept her senses alert, more concerned with protecting her Lady than be protected by her.

"Our own city, far more sense tae it," she muttered.

Alustriel half-smiled in her disguise as a wandering wizard. "So it has, in my opinion."

"Right tired o' trouble in big cities," Catti averred.

That got an outright laugh.

Title: Faire Fun
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Catti-brie Battlehammer & Niska Bentleaf
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Twenty-Ninth - Catti takes Niska to a theme park

"Thank ye for coming with me; me first wizard's tourney and I've nae idea what tae expect," Catti-brie said, her eyes darting from one illusion to the next.

"Oh, it's as much a favor to me as not," Niska said. "It's been a long time since I could see one of these through fresh eyes." She smiled as Catti-brie noted the exhibits from the gnomes, with their attempts at automaton works.

"Me eyes nae believe half o' what they see," Catti said with a bright laugh, before drawing the elven wizard off to look more closely at the mechanical marvels.

Title: Seasick
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Alustriel Silverhand & Niska Bentleaf

Title: Woodland Days
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Catti-brie Battlehammer & Zanna Do'Urden
Content Notes: Animal Death
Prompt: March Twenty-Seventh - Catti & Zanna out in the woods
( Woodland Days )

Title: Beach Memories
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Alustriel Silverhand & Zanna Do'Urden
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Twenty-Sixth - Alustriel & Zanna at the beach

Alustriel watched her daughter scouring the sandy shores for the perfect shell. The girl was progressing rapidly in the Arts, studying with her and Niska and any mage that sat still long enough to be asked questions. It was as satisfying as teaching Mena had been, so many decades before.

She truly was lucky that Sam and Drizzt shared the care and raising of their daughter with her, and treasured these moments. Something told her she would need the memories of days like this against the storms ahead, and hoped they served Zanna well.

Somehow, she knew it was needed.
