The Road to Rivendell by Joe Gilronan

As the sun sets low over the misty mountains, the companions make camp. Frodo wounded, sits crouched by the fire; Merry, Pippin and Strider watch on with concern, while Sam busies himself attending Bill the pony. Unnoticed on the distant bridge, a black rider observes the scene with malice, eager to report back to his fellow pursuers.

Ok but the moment in Mordor when Sam looks at a star and says “there is light, beauty up there, that no shadow can touch….” and then looks down at Frodo, who’s sleeping with his head on Sam’s shoulder,  as if there’s a light and beauty in Frodo that no shadow can touch…………literally invented romance

Related to the fotr anniversary and rewatching, I'm having a lot of feelings about Sam and Frodo again. This is not set during fotr but rotk though, here is my Bag - End Epilogue, which I first started drawing and then ended up expanding into a little story: An Emptiness next to him: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35857867 (2k-ish words, no archive warnings, 'sad but not unhappy' (hopefully), grief/mourning, canon-compliant-ish)

Actually forget everything I’ve ever said the Lord of the Rings movies actually suck because they had Merry say, “are you going to leave me?” to Pippin instead of the infinitely more heartbreaking “are you going to bury me?”
