    Summary

    “You are being very kind to me,” he said, subdued.

    “Far kinder than you deserve, I daresay,” said Gandalf. “There's nothing like a Took for making trouble, but you have outdone all your family tree, my lad.”

    Pippin did not answer. At another time he would have risen to the barb, offered up the wide-eyed wounded innocence that had gotten him out of many a scrape, perhaps even found a way to slyly imply Gandalf’s culpability instead of his own – but he was sick and frightened, and something still hurt somewhere deep, something he did not want to think about.

    Pippin reckons with what Sauron left of him.

    Summary

    Their little band of conspirators was rich with loyalty and stout hearts, but Merry had been the one to make the preparations, to list out and discreetly purchase supplies and provisions; he was the one who had lain awake in his bed night after night in the months leading up to Frodo's departure from Bag End, making sure he hadn't forgotten anything that would be wanted.

    All his meticulous planning was being dismantled piece by piece in front of him. There was a stranger in their company. And he could not scrub the feeling of evil hands from his skin.

    Summary

    “Gandalf is going to turn me into a weasel,” Pippin told Boromir. “I shall need a pocket to ride in. May I borrow yours?”

    Boromir blinked. “Oh,” he said. “Ohh. Yes, certainly, so long as you are a weasel-sized weasel and not a hobbit-sized weasel.”

    Pippin turned to Gandalf, caught by this new idea. “Can you make me into a hobbit-sized weasel?”

    “For mercy's sake,” said Gandalf.

    In which Pippin has approximately sixty uninterrupted leagues to find out everything that can be found out from Gandalf and gets approximately sixty times more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The story of the Second Great Calamity, of the tragedy that befell thousands, from many different perspectives in Hyrule. From Link and Zelda, to the Champions, to the citizens of Hyrule, these are the stories of the events that went down over those few dark days.

    (Or, I like Age of Calamity but am spiteful that I didn't get what it originally said on the tin. I expected tragedy and "everybody dies". I am happy there exists a timeline where "everybody lives" but I still wanted the angst and tragic catharsis.)

    Stories:
    "To Calamity Come" - [Complete]
    "Champion's Fall" - [Complete]
    "Accounts of the Great Calamity" - [In Progress]
    "Aid of the Fallen" - [Complete]

    Summary

    It's over.

    Shadow is dead, Vaati and Ganon are defeated, and Princess Zelda is safe.

    The Colours return the Four Sword and once again become Link.

    Seconds later a portal opens beneath him.

    Or: Four starts his LU quest immediately following the events of FSA. He and the Colours haven't figured out how to function as a single person again yet.
