B2MeM 2012: A Spirit in Shadows  by Mirach

A/N: This story was written for B2MeM 2012: "Bingo Baggins' Bingo Bash" organized by Silmarillion Writers' Guild. The bingo cards had thematic prompts on them, and you could claim as many as you wanted. Obviously, I claimed too many… (but they were so interesting!) And not only did I do that, but decided to write one continuous story with them as well! I didn't write it chronologically though, just added the prompts to the place where they fitted in the story, writing all chapters simultaneously. If the story seems strange to you, that might be the reason. I tried to edit it after the end of B2MeM. The state it is now is not as good as it could be, but it would need more time and effort to improve it, and I would like to bring this endeavour to closure already, so I'm going to post it at it is. It is not beta-ed for the same reason, as I'm not sure it's worth bothering my beta because of it.

I'll list the cards here, because they are a reason this story turned out as it did. Many times I already forgot which prompt on which card made me write something, so I was afraid to delete anything in case it was some prompt that I've already claimed. While reading, there will be chapters that you can miss without missing the plot. I will mark those chapters so you know which ones they are. Most of the chapters are short, but there are many of them, so I'll try to post one chapter a day when I'm able to.
