Title: Simple Tastes



"It's not that I'm ungrateful, Mr Frodo..."

"Of course not, Sam. No one could ever accuse you of that."

"And they're just as nicely made as anyone could do, back in the Shire."

"Certainly as fine as anything that could be found there, yes."

"It's just that, well, I don't feel comfortable in them. They're too light, too soft, too fancy."

"Well, Sam, they are made of silk."

"But that's just it, Mr. Frodo. Silk's fine for gentlehobbits like you, and Mr. Merry and Mr Pippin. I'm just Samwise Gamgee. Couldn't they find just some plain cotton underpants for me?"

This is darling. :) I love it love it love it. And it totally made me grin and awwww at the same time. :) Great work!

I've done my own take on Sam and the fancy clothes of the South, so it's a trope I love. What fun, and SO Sam!

Hee!

I knew where this was going, but it was fun getting there.

A cute fun drabble that made me smile.

Poor Sam! I can hear this conversation so clearly :)

*giggles* I can almost see him squirm. Poor Sam. XD

Heee, thank you! Another one of these "wrote itself" things.

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Yes, you know my mind pretty well; underwear would have to have been involved. Ha!

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I don't write Frodo and Sam too often, but once this was in my head it was too much fun to try to resist.

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Not a fashion plate is our Sam. Plain, simple, and most of all comfortable! I'm very like him in that regard.

"They feel so....slithery, Mr. Frodo!" *grin*

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

There could have been so much more, about Sam trying to go commando, but I restrained myself. Thanks goodness.

I'm with Sam - give me a nice pair of Hanes any day. Thanks, Linda!

I can see Rosie being happy to help him remove them at a future date. (oops - that sounds as if I expect him to keep them on until then!)

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Rosie would be jealous of those undies. Maybe Frodo will slip a few pair in Sam's pack for her.

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

Aw, dear Sam. :-) This was adorable.

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

It was so much fun to write. Quick and easy!

Oh, dear, poor Sammy, he'd be so uncomfortable in silk drawers.

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Haha, thank you! I feel sorry for poor Sam, having to be so polite about it all.

[belleferret.livejournal.com]

LOL Sam making such a fuss over silk undies! What if they gave him a whole robe of the stuff?

[addie71.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I'm with Sam on that!

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Me too! Give me some nice cotton ones any time. Thanks for reading and commenting!

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

He'd be squirming and scratching all day, poor dear. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!

I'm finally getting a chance to catch up a bit. This one was so true to form. Nicely done!

Thank you! I very seldom write hobbits so this was a fun change.
