Tolkien quote of the day:

As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.

An Unexpected Party, The Hobbit

bullet Last Words by lbilover Last Updated: 7/10/2008
A ficlet set in Minas Tirith in 1442, during the year that Sam, Rosie and Elanor spent at the court of the King. I was re-reading The Departure of Boromir, and was bit by a plot bunny inspired by this passage: ’He fled, certainly,’ said Aragorn, ‘but not, I think, from Orcs.’ What he thought was the cause of Frodo’s sudden resolve and flight Aragorn did not say. The last words of Boromir he long kept secret.
