Early morning drabble offering...rated G


Blue skies and sultry heat, rare for spring in Minas Tirith, Faramir contends. Frodo laughs, and for that brief moment, his old self shines through, and it brings me right back to Bag End, in that time after the daffodils first bloom.

He would stretch, and then he would take a sniff at the air, closing his eyes to fully take it in.

His eyes cloud with pain, and I wonder if he’s just seen what I’ve been fretting about -- that sometimes it’s better to stay in the darkness than to feel so briefly what can never again be.

That's so poignant, especially the last line.

*hands Frodo and Faramir armfuls of wriggling, happy puppies*

Very powerful, Claudia!

Oh, if only your Frodo puppy (am BLANKING on name -- know it starts with an S...) could be in post-quest...it could be like baranduin's catpreg fic, only with dogs. /never mind me, I'm goofy tired...

Thanks!

What a bittersweet drabble, and the last line especially, is very powerful and poignant.

Thank you!!

I think its time for some cuddles. Another powerful drabble that almost brings me to tears. I think what they both need is a nice hot bubble bath.

And again -- <3 for that picture of Ellohir! ;-)

You're still channeling Sam! You don't fool me with this little gem, it's still part of the F/S conspiracy that launched BDSM Sam/Frood!

Sniff.

I KNOW!! It was originally supposed to be from Faramir's pov, but Sam just popped in again, lol ;-D

Oh, how sad! One thing I do like about all your fics, is this sense of place that you bring in so vividly. Very nice.

That was a very sweet thing to say -- thank you! ;-)
