Drabble for Belleferret

[claudia603]

Title: True
Pairing: Frodo/Sam
Rating: PG



Step after blistering step, Sam pushed on, one sturdy arm around Frodo’s bony shoulders. The fiery mountain always seemed just ahead, but they stumbled forward for hours and got no closer.

Frodo stopped, breathing hard.

His lips, once soft and eager under a Shire harvest moon, were now chapped and burned. His eyes, once filled with sapphire adoration under the splendid sun of a Rivendell morning, were now dull with pain.

“I’m glad you’re here, Sam,” Frodo said. “Whatever happens, I’m glad you’re here, my love.”

His heart, pledged to Sam under the fairy lights of Lorien, was still true.

*weeps* How sad to think of the changes the Quest has wrought in Frodo.

But their hearts will always remain true to each other.

Thank you Claudia.

Oh, that's very beautiful, Claudia. I love that Frodo's heart remained true despite it all.

I was actually inspired by the picture that you posted the other day of Sam and Frodo with their arms around each other near Mount Doom! :) (See? Your lovely LOTR posts create MORE LOTR posts! :)))

Thank you so much for reading! ♥

That's soooo romantic. How lovely. That Ring doesn't stand a chance. :)

naw...Thank you! I agree -- the Ring will have to do a lot better than that! :)
