Summary:

In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.

"Yay, a postcard from Far Away! Wonder who it could be fro--"

SFX: card turns over

"OMG it has Hercules and Iolaus chibis on it!"

And a tiny five-legged octopus to represent pentapus. Not that there could be any doubts. *g*

This has improved my day so much!

The world needs more Widow Twanky icons. Or I do, anyway.

As usual, feel free to modify these in any way, and credit is lovely, but I'm not going to send you C&D letters if you forget or anything.

( 4 HtLJ icons with text )

( 8 HtLJ portrait icons: Iolaus, Hercules, Autolycus and the Widow Twanky )

I've updated my website with all the Hercules & Iolaus (& Autolycus) icons that were languishing on my harddrive.

These are shareable, and I may use a couple again myself. Feel free to modify 'em, add text to them, whatever floats your Argo; credit is appreciated, but I'm not going to internet-sue you if you forget or anything.

( 24 HtLJ icons: hugs, pigs in leather trousers, and other important moments in fandom. )
