Drabble: Frodo at Bag End

[rabidsamfan]

I should have come back sooner. If it hadn’t been for Bilbo, waiting at Rivendell, I might have. But there are a lot of things I might have done if it hadn’t been for Bilbo.

Yet if it hadn’t been for Bilbo I should never have loved this place. I close my eyes and see bright sunlight on the floor; I smell the beeswax Bell Gamgee used to polish the wooden paneling once each sevenday.

I want to ignore the corruption, the black speech scored into the curved walls.

I cannot ignore the words carved into my heart.

Ash nazg...

Your drabbles are so powerfully written, and I find this one to be quite haunting (but I love it so). Wow.

This is what comes of insomnia. Enjoy it while you can.

*grin*

Thanks!

And those last words too are legacy of Bilbo... *sighs*
This is chilling, you know. Thank you.

I'm glad you liked it! I wrote it for you, you know...

Thanks for the bunny!

You did? Oh, thank you! You did Frodo's voice well, you know.

Oh, such a heartbreaking thought! But a beautifully worded drabble.

Thank you. I think I sort of buried it from notice by posting a second one so soon, but Faramir insisted...

Thank you. I should create a collection of all your drabbles and translate them together. I love them all.

Feel free! Just give me a bit of credit and a link so I can go look at them and smile in bewildered satisfaction, hey?

To your service, ma'am. Go and have a look here:

It will be officially veiwable for my readers next friday. You're the first to see it.

Wow. I can actually figure out which one is which! (And I know very little German and only a smattering of Norwegian to help me out...)

It may be a continuing series... I hope you don't mind!
