• The Long Goodbye by Antane

  This is my Big Bang contribution. It is a companion piece to Via Dolorosa. This time it is post-Quest book-Frodo struggling to reconcile within himself movie-Frodo’s memories. Told from book-Frodo’s POV so please keep that mind when reading it and do not be jarred when things happen (most importantly that Frodo and Sam live together at Bag End) that do not happen in the films. No slash of course, but lots of angst and hobbity love. Enjoy!
