He wanted to ask so many questions, but he was drowsy, and the bed was so very soft. “How is the pain?” the Elf asked softly, laying Frodo back down. A cup of water was held to Frodo’s lips, and he closed his eyes, savoring the cool liquid. Was he dead? But he wouldn’t be this thirsty, would he?Īs if reading his thoughts, the kind Elf slid a gentle hand behind Frodo’s back and lifted him slightly, causing a twinge of pain in Frodo’s left shoulder. Frodo tried to move, but his limbs felt leaden. Was he an Elf? Gildor and Glorfindel had golden hair, but this person’s locks were dark as night, and braided with gems. “Welcome back, Frodo Baggins,” the person said. Nothing… A cool hand touched his brow, and ageless eyes looked deeply into his own. His thoughts drifted, memories just out of reach. What’s happened? He felt as if he was floating. Where am I? He thought frantically, looking around the ornate room. The characters don’t belong to me, I just get to think about them day and night.Įlwen asked for, “a little hurt/comfort or pampering fic Frodo and/or Elrond centric would be nice but I just want to see hurts made better and comfort given."įrodo opened his eyes slowly, and the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar person smiling down at him. Future chapters will follow!ĭISCLAIMER: Of course. ![]() (I'm afraid the third one turned a bit silly.) Chapter 2 is a longer challenge ficlet from the FrodoHealers Yahoo Group. The challenges came from cpsings4him, Elwen, and Febobe, and are all gentle Frodo h/c. And if you leave the safety of your house, this Road can take you anywhere.Seeing Isn't Always Believing by shireboundĬhapter 1 consists of three “challenge ficlets” from LiveJournal. I really like the idea that Tolkien wrote here, about there only being one Road. But if you don’t take that risk, how will you ever know? Keep your wits and common sense about you to ‘keep your feet’. And that travel is addictive, you can get ‘swept up’ and just keep going.Īnd yes, things might go wrong, something bad may happen. Just take that first step and you don’t know where you might end up. The quote, to me, says simply that anything can happen. The path that begins at Bag End is the same one that leads to the Lonely Mountain and could lead you even further. Every path from every door fed into this river. In the same part of the book (infact, same paragraph) Frodo explains that Bilbo used to say how there was only one Road and it was like a river. After Sam takes that almighty step Frodo brings up what Bilbo used to say. The scene begins with Sam stopping and saying how if he takes one more step, it’ll be the furthest from home he’s ever been. The film is a little different and it is just Sam and Frodo journeying, but they are leaving the Shire, not going to a new home in Buckland. In the 2001 film of The Fellowship of the Ring, the quote is used. Pippin asks if it is one of Bilbo’s rhymes and they talk about Bilbo and what he used to say, mainly about the Road. Pippin replies the negative, then Frodo pipes up with a rhyme that ‘pops into his head’ about the Road. ![]() The threesome have stopped for lunch and Sam asks if Elves live in the woods. Sam and Pippin are accompanying on this journey, whilst Merry is at the new house in Buckland, preparing everything. In this chapter, Frodo has left Bag End and is journeying to his new home in Buckland. The Fellowship of the Ring, to be precise, in Chapter 3 “Three Is Company”. This quote comes from J.R.R.Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. But I shall still go through where the quote is from as well as what it means to me. ![]() The majority of people will know where this comes from (and many can figure it out just by the name “Frodo”). You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off too.”Ī common travel quote. “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. ![]()
