Recaptured!

Summary:

AU - Uruk-Hai recapture Merry & Pippin after Fangorn, and the whole story goes in a dramatically different direction. Guest stars include Frodo, Sam, Legolas, Theoden, Eowyn, Gandalf, Aragorn, Eomer, Grima Wormtongue, Nazgul, and several original characters.
WARNING - extremely long story, but many short chapters with excellent and inventive development of Merry and Pippin. Interesting and sympathetic orcs, of all things, in later chapters.
