Title: A Different Mushroom
Word count: 200
Rating: G
Summary: While Frodo recovers in Rivendell, Sam discovers some mushrooms.
A/N: For [livejournal.com profile] rabidsamfan, who was a helpful librarian recently! :)



Sam had not meant to wander so far from his wounded master. He couldn’t rightly enjoy Rivendell while Mr. Frodo was ill. But on this day, he found himself in a lush forest clearing gazing down on a cluster of mushrooms, the likes of which he had never seen. He knelt in the grass. Golden and round they were, with caps smattered with black dots.

Normally he had a hobbit’s instinct about whether they were poisonous or not, but so far from home, he could not tell.

“I should have known that one of you hobbits would find these.”

“Strider, sir,” Sam climbed to his feet, flushing. “Is there news on Mr. Frodo?”

“I’m afraid not.” Aragorn looked weary. He knelt beside Sam and stroked the cap of one of the mushrooms. “Goes well with Elvish cooking. Shall we pluck some? Frodo will be hungry when he awakens.”

Sam nodded, his eyes filling with tears.

Aragorn placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Fear not. He has passed through the worst. He will recover.”

Sam and Aragorn picked enough mushrooms for a feast, and when they returned to the others, he heard the best news possible, that Frodo had awakened.

Awww! I like the thought that Sam was picking mushrooms for Frodo when he awakened.

I found some pretty ones on my vacation that they can have too! ;-)

What a lovely story! I love one-on-one scenes between 'Strider' and one of the hobbits.

Oh, I love the idea of Sam and Aragorn gathering mushrooms as they wait for Frodo to wake. Love this.

Aww, lovely! So that's why Sam wasn't there to see Frodo wake up! Picking mushrooms makes it ok, I suppose... :D

Oh, I like this. I don't read too many fictions in which Sam and Aragorn are together. Usually it's Frodo and Aragorn or Sam and Frodo. I like seeing Sam and Aragorn helping each other through the wait for Frodo to recover.

The perfect thing that Sam can do for Frodo - this is so sweet and tender. Picking those mushrooms will help Sam deal with what he's been through. *hugs*

Oh, I love this. We don't have many fics with aragorn and Sam interacting this way. So kind of Aragorn to comfort Sam.

Thank you, dear! You're right -- we don't see too many fics between them. This scene just sort of unfolded in my head!

Frodo knew there'd be mushrooms for dinner ;P

Mmmmm, mushrooms, I wish I know how the Elvish cook them!
