Fics like Schrödinger's Hobbit

"I heard the monster was some kind of frog that cries a lot. Someone told me he'd fed it." "Fed it?" "Yes, he said the Ringbearer brought it back with him, and now it's staying in a guest house and it eats raw meat, and it stays in the dark all the time and screams if you open a window to let in the sunlight, and if you bring it water to splash in it'll tell you a riddle. I am certain he invented all of it. He thinks he's quite special now he's an errand boy in the palace. But, as we were telling absurd tales..." Gollum stepped out into the street behind them. "There was no monster," he said shrilly, "no! No, no- don't talk about things you know nothing about- it is silly! Foolish!" "I'm sorry?" one of the teens said, turning to blink at him, and another said: "Who are you?" Gollum had no answer. How could he answer? What would he say? He squirmed, and said gollum in his throat, and turned on his heel to scurry away. --- There was a third hobbit on Mt. Doom that day. But no one likes to talk about that, now do they, precious? (AU. Gollum made a different choice at Cirith Ungol. And, awkwardly enough, he's not dead, somehow, so, uh, now what?)
