Drabbles  by Lindelea 5 Review(s)
PeriantariReviewed Chapter: 1 on 3/19/2025
I love how it weaves between present and past with such melancholic hints in it. Nicely done.

Author Reply: Thank you! I was fascinated by drabbles in my early years of fanfic reading and writing. They were a challenge to write and a wonder to read, to see how an author could condense a scene to a minimum of words, cutting all extraneous language until every word left in the drabble served a carefully-designed purpose!

I think the exercise of drabble writing helped me to be less wordy in my regular writing, though I still suffer from wordiness. It's hard to break old habits.

"May the Shire live for ever unwithered!"

Nice job.

Oh, very poignant and a little chilling.
God bless,
Galadriel

Very beautifully written, and I can see the grief of all three for one another, not that Frodo has much chance to meditate on his love for the other two.
