I hadn't been planning to write Lord of the Rings fanfiction, for a whole great lot of reasons. (My contribution to If LotR Had Been Written By... aside.)
But.
After seeing Return of the King in the wee hours of this morning, I just had to write this.
You really do need to have seen the film to appreciate what's going on here; it's fanfiction in the sense of being wholly dependent on the reader knowing the source material. And while the same things happen in Tolkien's and Jackson's versions of the referenced scene, the way each of them presented the events was nonetheless different.
And the notes for this story are now longer than the story itself (it's a drouble -- 200 words). So:
( Fare Thee Well )
want something longer?
If you haven't seen Return of the King yet, you need to anyway, so just go.
Edited to Add: Thanks to Amy for providing just the help I needed to find a title.
