‘Alas! There are some wounds that cannot be wholly cured’, said Gandalf – not in Middle-earth. Frodo was sent or allowed to pass over Sea to heal him – if that could be done before he died. He would have eventually to ‘pass away’: no mortal could, or can, abide forever on earth, or even within Time. So he went both to a purgatory and to a reward, for a while: a period of reflection and peace and a gaining of a truer understanding of his position in littleness and in greatness, spent still in Time amid the natural beauty of ‘Arda Unmarred’, the Earth unspoiled by evil.

A Little Night Music by Ariel
This This fic is not my usual fare. It was written as the response to a challenge a few friends and I made to write the romances of married couples in M-e - something most people avoid like the plague. As I was the only hobbit writer in the group, I naturally (and kicking and screaming a little bit) took the hobbits Sam and Rosie. I don't usually respond well to challenges, but I sort of liked the way this came out. It's not got the same kind of heat as my Frodo stuff, but I hope you will enjoy it anyway.
