Story Recommendation.

I don't usually post anything while I've got a ficlet simmering, because I've learned that folks don't tend to post to older entries, but today I just can't resist it. frayach has posted an amazing story called "Endurance Beyond Hope" on her LJ (which some of you lucky people may have already seen in a print zine.)

It's Merry dealing with really seeing Sam for the first time in fourteen years after Frodo has crossed the sea, when the whole family is visiting Brandy Hall. Pippin's visiting too, and ... well, just read it. I had no idea what I was getting into, because I missed the introductory lj entry the first time, and it pulled me straight through. But you may want to keep the kleenex handy...
