Frost and Thaw
by fliewatuet
[...] partly out of pity for the gaunt king and his men, and partly out of fear of their weapons, [the Lossoth] gave them a little food and built for them snow-huts. There Arvedui was forced to wait, hoping for help from the south; for his horses had perished. LotR: RotK, Appendix A (iii) The tale of a brief and tentative friendship. Co-written by Wolfwind and fliewatuet in response to the Tagteam Challenge at henneth-annun.net.
