Fic: Once Upon a time

[mylodon]

Set in the Regeneration Universe, this is a mylodon/calavarna production, with the working title 'Total Insanity' which explains it all, really.

Which story is Jack referring to? I have the Silmarillion. Or would it be in one of the other ones?

Anyway, I like Jack winding 'Ratio up, but the silly man doesn't know how to stop reacting. If he stops, then Jack will stop. Supposedly.

"Terribly sorry, sir, my hand must have slipped."

Good Ianto! *pets* Remind Jack that he's taken. *smirk*

More?

[mylodon]

Jack's referring to the fall of Gondolin, which gets a short mention in both LOTR and The Silmarillion. The longer version is in some of the Christopher Tolkein books. We've assumed jack was Glorfindel (who also appears in LOTR).

I have this awful feeling that Jack would carry on even when Horry stopped making a fuss.

More? It's taken us about a year to produce this. Any more and we'll be locked up. :)

Thanks.

Ah, je vois. I don't have any of his, though I saw them at Borders. I'll have to look them up. Yes, he was the one who took Frodo to Rivendell, wasn't he? I always pictured him as a blond, like Legolas.

True. This is Jack we're talking about.

No you won't. I'd free you.

You're welcome!

Glorfindel is blond (his name translates to something like golden haired) but I think we imagined Jack being Glorfindel, than being a blond Nazi and then dying his hair back to brown again. :)

Books 1 and 12 (from memory) of the Histories of Middle Earth explain it all, if you wanted to know more.

Thanks for reading!

And there was some twaddle about fountains and singing (Erestor?) which never made it into the final version. Just as well...

[calavarna]

I think it was Ecthelion cos he's got his own fountain. Which of the boys was supposed to be Ecthelion? It wasn't the Doctor/WB, was it?

[mylodon]

I have no idea. I remember the fountain and something about the best singer in Gondolin and a discussion about whether old Blondie should have been Glorfindel and if the one visited by the sea god was Horatio...

Have we been locked up yet?

[calavarna]

I was wondering earlier whether we've always been locked up and this is an insane creation that manifests as internet interaction. Are you a figment of my imagination? *pokes you*

:D

[mylodon]

Well, you at least must be real as that heat detector couldn't pick up a virtual bra.

[jestana]

Ah, got it. *grin* I suppose that could work. *smirk*

I'll look into those. Thank you!

No problem!

[mylodon]

The very same one - and reference is made to him having dies and returned (may be in the appendices). We nearlky had Archie being him at one point. This final version is much saner than it might have been...

[jestana]

That sounds more Jack, but I can see how Archie might have been that. *giggle* Sanity is over-rated anyway. *wink*
