Characters: Déagol, Sméagol
Rating: G
Notes: AU, written for the “Different Decisions” challenge at tolkien_weekly
With golden scales it swam in the river waters. Its existence was cold and simple-small insects in the silty bottom for eating, lazy slumber on the currents, yearly spawning. Just now it was drawn by a plopping sound from above-a juicy worm had fallen from the sky! He was lured by it, drew closer… but then his eye was caught by something new. A ray of light slanted to the bottom, glinted off of something. Forgetting the worm, he went to investigate…
“Not a nibble yet, Déagol?”
“No. But it’s a fine way to spend your birthday anyhow.”
