A little late , but it's still Froday here!

So first of all, a very happy birthday to the one and only elanorgardner! WOOT!
*helps her blow out all the candles - heh*

And then on to my little bit for the month.

This is the third part (out of four) of the mini-epic I have been writing, mostly because it started to fascinate me that Merry somehow ends up married to Fatty's sister. Especially seeing as how I've managed to mangle Tolkien's Fatty. Although, truth to tell, he was generally rather vague. But not to fear! There is, needless to say, plenty of F/S as well. *w*

I did say I would finish it by summer, and indeed I will. End of summer, that is.

So, anyway:
