Fanwork Notes

This drabble is for the Crackuary bingo card, square O4: choose a whack detail from The Book of Lost Tales to become canon.

In fact, it is not quite as cracky as the title might suggest.

However: warning for brief description of gory animal death

Ha! As a kid, I was phobic about bats getting tangled in my long black hair (sounds like some freak version of a Child ballad). Where I grew up there was a folk myth circulating that if one had black hair a bat might fly at it thinking it was a hole to fly into and hide and everyone knows that would be disastrous, right?
