| Shirebound, I don't know if I've ever left you a proper review of this story before. I recc'ed it on LOTR_Fic_Recs and decided I would go back and read it again as well (hehe...just to make sure I got the rating right...yes, that's why, not because I'm obsessed and love your stories or anything! ;-). Anyway, I just LOVE this passage: ""I'll try." Legolas moved closer to Frodo and bent over him, putting one hand on Frodo's forehead and sliding the other under the blankets to rest on Frodo's chest. He closed his eyes and for the first time in his long life let himself open fully to the life force of one of the Secondborn. He felt the fragile, mortal life rushing beneath his hands, unlike anything he had experienced before. Unlike Elves, or even trees, with their slow, patient energy, this was frighteningly swift, moving at a speed he could barely comprehend. This was what it was like to be mortal, he realized. But there was weakness here, a faltering pattern. He let his own energy flow outward, cradling gently, as he would if he were letting a tree feel him, get used to his presence and rhythm. There was a blending. He felt Frodo's rhythm respond to his, rest in its calm current, absorb some of his strength.... that's it, little one... that's it... " Something about it just squeezes my heart everytime I read it! Thank you for this lovely moment! Blessings! cp Author Reply: Oh, thank you so much for the rec, and for the lovely review. "Avalanche" will always hold a special place in my heart because I consider it the first *real* story I ever wrote. To my amazement, it grew and evolved and just wove itself together in ways that I hadn't ever imagined. *hugs you* | |
