Those of you who have read Larner's AU series, Might have Beens may recall her chapter,
'An Enemy Made.'
In it Frodo senses that they won't reach Rivendell before the Morgul blade reaches his heart.

And Sam does.

This drabble deals with the aftermath. I've written it with Larner's blessing
and I'm warning you right now that its very chilling.

Read on if you dare.
