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.

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.
