Last drabble in the series...

[claudia603]

Dancing, a drabble, rated G

They danced – the people of Minas Tirith. The crown had been set on the king, and now their feet sprang over stone, over barely washed bloodstains of their fallen. A tree blossomed and flags unfurled.

They danced -- thick woolly feet that hit the ground with no sound. Sam had claimed his Rose at last, and blossoms fluttered to the earth like snow. Smiling rosy faces passed in a blur. Seeds scattered and a new age bloomed.

They danced -- the waves over wet sand, singing and beckoning. A gray ship sailed toward a land where feet could dance again.

This is just so incredibly gorgeous. *sigh*

I think this and Glass are my favorites in the bunch. :)

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Awww...you're sweet! Thanks!! Well, I know Glass mentions Pippin, lol...;-)

[danachan.livejournal.com]

It was that last line, actually. I have this thing about last lines that can boggle me at times. But yeah, it did mention Pippin, and you know how I like him. :)

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Oh, last lines are very important and sometimes I will suffer over trying to get just the right one, even in the trashiest of what I write, lol.

Egads I love these.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! <3 :-)

Ohhhh, Claudia, thank you for ending this series in such a healing, hopeful, wonderful way. This is utterly lovely, and incredibly effective.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! Hope you're feeling better, too! :-)

I'm glad the series is ending, even though I love these, because I can only take so much sobbing at the computer, Miss Claudia.

This is the best one in the bunch, and they were all very good.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Heh, must write fluff, MUST WRITE FLUFF!! I think the LG scenario that I'm writing will pass as much lighter, being so completely AU and unrealistic (this particular episode). Thank you!!

WOW

[tempest-415.livejournal.com]

This is really wonderful. my mind is blanked out for words to say this is so good.

Re: WOW

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! THank you very much!!

[ancalime8301]

Ohhhhhh... *sigh* Very, very nice. :) The entire series is very nice (though I think I neglected to comment on the others, bad Cali!).

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

That is the most wonderfully moving last sentence I have read in who knows how long. Any mention of Frodo going to be healed makes me sniffle, and here, at 8am, is further proof!

guh! *thud*

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

hehe, thanks!! :-)

Three moments, three dawns of hope, three dances. It's lovely, especially the thought that Frodo can once again dance. Thanks for this.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[ellielass.livejournal.com]

Wow these are wonderful! Nice little powerful drabbles Claudia.

Stupid LJ isn't letting me on right now so I have to snoop around again like one of those ranger folks. I did mention that I love the drabbles right? How they tear at my heart strings and make tears develop in my eyes? And did I happen to mention that I am very flattered that you are using my art on your site?? You can use it anytime, anywhere if ya like, I'm kinda sounding like an artist harlot :-D
Love and Frodo,
Ellie

Re: Claudia!!!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wonder why LJ won't let you on? That's odd! But thank you very much for your fb on the drabbles!! <3 And I'm glad you like the art. Naturally I want to put Ellohir's pic somewhere on that page where I have TLTW...:-)

Re: Claudia!!!

[ellielass.livejournal.com]

Hey I got my first bashing of my art, narrow minded people are hilarious.

Re: Claudia!!!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can see that. *shakes head*

Re: Claudia!!!

[ellielass.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I guess thats what I get for liking what interests me.

Re: Claudia!!!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you're happier for it -- people with sticks up their behinds are the only people suffering here :-)

Oh, oh how beautiful. This was such a universal sadly beautiful series of images; very elegant and spiritual! I loved them very much. Thank you.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thank you. now I should write something lighter, I suppose...:-) Thanks so much for reading!

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Wow, Claudia. Wow to all of those gorgeous drabbles. They are beautiful, heartbreaking, comforting and brilliant.

QUESTION: Would you allow me to translate them and put them on my site? It is here:

http://www.cuthalionsbogen.de

I would be thankful and pleased to have them there.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow!! I think you just helped to make a rather crappy day a lot better. I would be flattered to be among such wonderful company. Thank you!

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

I think you just helped to make a rather crappy day a lot better.

I'm glad to hear that. And I'm really looking forward to see you on Cúthalions Bogen!

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

They will be in the update on September the 3rd.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]
