The Middle-earth College AU meme

The Middle-earth College Life AU meme

Congrats, you've been accepted to college / university! Or maybe you work there? Maybe you're even the President or a Dean of studies! Either way - there's classes to attend or teach, parties to go to, and fraternities/sororities to belong to. Cheer for the sports team, and don't forget about extra curricular activities.

1. Comment with a character, with a sentence or two to explain how they fit into this AU
2. Format is flexible! Action, Phones, IMs, etc. (It's a meme, do what is most fun for you!)
3. ???
4. Profit.

Shire institute of Culinary Arts: Aspiring chefs, look no further. A wide variety of specialty degrees are available, but it's best known for their potato program. Dorms are said to be "cozy", but the meal plan is next to none. The typical "freshman 15" here is expanded to the "freshman 30," but no one seems to mind.	Rivendell University and Teaching Hospital: You might know that Rivendell's medical program it top notch, but you might not know that it also has a robust music program as well. It boasts a diverse student body and easy admittance process. The dorms are next to none, with full meal plan, entertainment, and laundry service.	University of Caras Galadhon: This university is so exclusive, that only students and staff know how to even get to the campus. Needless to say, their athletic teams never have home games. Extracurricular activities include boating and archery. All dorms begin on the 10th floor.
Woodland U: Literally spelled Woodland "U" because half their applicants can't spell "university." All students are required to be on one of the athletics teams. Known for its party scene. Their rival is the nearby Erebor Trade School. It's motto is "We will endure" because many of it's students stay much longer than the usual four year plan.	Erebor Trade School: Anyone hoping to become a craftsman or jeweler aspires admittance to this school. Tuition used to be rather high before a massive campus fire and a change of administration. Remodeling is ongoing. Erebor encourages drinking, even though half its students are miners.	Gondor Military Academy: Used to be a more prestigious institution until the neighborhood appeal changed by the nearby Mt. Doom's expansion and construction. Recently subject to rumors about the president losing touch with the needs of the students.
Rohan Agricultural College: Probably the smallest and least expensive school in Middle-earth. Sister school to Gondor Military Academy, and known for its equestrian program and rural location. The dorms and meal plans here are said to be lacking.	Mt Doom College: Recently had a resurgence in numbers, Mt. Doom is known for its aggressive recruiting policy and strict dress code. Now has a campus at Orthanc, which used to be an independent institution.	Two Trees Seminary: This university can boast that it's faculty are all at the top of their fields. Known for it's idyllic location, Two Trees has a very strict moral code, but most students who enroll never leave campus. The Dormitory is located in the building simply known as "The Halls."

I saw him drunk plenty of times during... [ stop. don't think about those days. ]

I am sure I am not missing much there.

Let me rephrase. You missed a chance to see the two of us drunk now that we're married.

You actually got married? [ There, a real smile ]

About time. Good.

[Success. Fingon smiles back, shy]

We did. No ceremony yet, neither of us feel right having one without you there, but...yes.

You... were waiting for me? [ Why? ]

Yes. You're our family--and you aren't dead. It wouldn't be right to have a wedding without you.

[ A long, considering pause, then another shy smile ]

Then I suppose I should come home. It wouldn't do for the two of you not to have a proper celebration, after all.

[He smiles and offers a hand]

Come on. No one's home right now, so you can clean up and eat and everything in peace.

[ Another wavering pause and then he reaches across shyly to take Fingon's hand. Maglor's hands are terribly scarred, burn scars contracting thick and ropey - it is a wonder he can play at all ]

Okay. I guess I can try.

[He notices but waits until they're in his car to say anything]

What happened to your hands?

[ He pales a little and ducks his head ]

I... got burned. [ well yes, Maglor but that wasn't what he asked ]

I... it was m...my fault.

What happened? How did you get burned?

I... [ he tucks his hands in close, as if protecting them ]

When I... they said. Because I had been bad, so I deserved to have them burnt. They... made me hold them...
