This is for the utterly indispensable @lemurious, because her piece inspired by this 'verse, Stained Glass Marigolds in its turn rather inspired this one. <333333

Thranduil has always avoided Dale and, later, Lake-town in the autumn, unsure if he and his people are included in the 'evil spirits' the Men ward off with strange lanterns carved from turnips and pumpkins. After the Battle of the Five Armies, Bard sets him straight.

This one's for the lovely @myeaglesong, who came up with a very clever and creative way to fulfil this prompt while working around my innate loathing of the modern, commercialised Halloween, suggesting Thranduil misunderstanding one of the traditions of Dale/Lake-town. :D :D :D

This one's for the fabulous @verecunda, who kindly prompted me for this one! I didn't have nearly enough time to do it the justice I wanted to, but hopefully it's creepy and spooky enough...

(and yes, I know it’s venom and not poison, but it’s done now and it’ll have to do XD )
