Fairytale

Summary:

Lobelia Bracegirdle *will* wed a Baggins. She has her heart set on it.

Drogo Baggins would rather not be it, thank you very much.

Notes:

I think the tags say it all, but in case they don't, this drabble is inspired both by the Heather Dale song "Fairytale" and by Dreamflower, who I'm pretty sure wrote to a similar theme, though I don't recall offhand which of her many excellent fics this happened in.

Work Text:

“Don’t you want this fairytale with me?” Lobelia fluttered her lashes, hoping she looked convincing. What she really wanted, of course, was to be part of the wealthy and estimable Baggins clan, one way or another. 

Drogo, for his part, wasn’t having any of it. “Good day, Miss Bracegirdle.” He slammed the door in her face, gasping in shock, and sat down at his desk to finish Cousin Bilbo’s essay.

Cousin Bilbo, he added, if you perhaps find it quite convenient, could you please contrive some way to see me out of Miss Bracegirdle’s sights? The lass is pigheadedly stubborn!
