Hands

[rabidsamfan]

Sam’s hands are always busy, twitching Frodo’s regalia straight, or fixing his tea properly, or providing a thousand other small comforts through the day. They are seldom still unless Frodo catches them, as he does now, to tell Sam that he, too, must take some comfort. Not even the loss of a finger impairs their understanding, so long have these two spoken to each other with hands as well as words. It is a language as secret as Khuzdûl, a grasp passing secrets here, a touch blessing cheek or shoulder there.

But I think that Legolas may know a dialect.

What a beautiful image.

Thanks. I know real people who "talk" like that, don't you?

How lovely, and so poignant!! Only you could manage to do BOTH of my favorite LOTR pairings in ONE hundred-word drabble. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

You rock. :D

I rather hoped you'd like it, once the bunny bit. It took a good many revisions to pare it down to a hundred, though!

Erm... this was meant to be F/S, right? And now we have L/G, too. And the best thing is, I'm sitting here, giggling at the gentle, sly humor.

As I said, you are a genius.

*giggles some more, shaking her head*

*grin* Well, I knew Cara would like it. And Gimli's p.o.v. is always fun to dip into.

I love the image of Sam fussing over Frodo, but I adore how Frodo captures Sam's hand. The silent, unspoken love between them a grasp passing secrets here, a touch blessing cheek or shoulder there.

Beautiful.

I wish, I really do wish I can write you a Samfic, but I've never been any good at it. Is there anything else I can write for you? Snape?

Snape would be good. I enjoy him too!

Lovely imagery

Thank you! (I think it confounded half my flist that the speaker was Gimli, though. There's such a crashing silence...)
