Fatherhood (N33)

[arwen75]

B2MeM Challenge: 5 Books 5 Characters: Arwen and Aspects of Aragorn: Father (N33)
Format: Short story
Genre: General
Rating: G
Warnings:  None
Characters: Arwen
Pairings: Aragorn/Arwen
Summary:  Arwen thinks about her son and his father
Authors Notes: Another longer offering from me – this is mainly what I wrote at gone midnight yesterday morning – tidied up a little as I re-read it this morning. I always tend to assume (probably from my fanfic reading) that Eldarion was not the only child Arwen & Aragorn had. I also – as you may have noticed by now – tend to write about thoughts/musings. I just seem to always end up doing that – not good at dialogue etc. – which is probably partly because that is how I am in real life.

Smells card, N33, Onion - Home Comforts

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Challenge: Smells card, N33 - Onion
Author: Azalais
Title: Home Comforts
Characters: Fellowship
Format: Drabble
Summary: Sometimes, home is where the heart is...

Home Comforts

“… so there it is, sirs.”  The black-clad equerry anxiously finishes showing the Fellowship around the house arranged for their stay in the City. “I hope ‘tis satisfactory – we have little experience of accommodating Dwarves, Elves or Halflings…”

It will do very well.  Legolas is delighted at the small laurel-tree flourishing in the courtyard. Gimli’s satisfied with the solidly-built stone;  Merry and Pippin pleased they can sleep on the ground floor. And when Sam begins preparing supper later in the well-appointed kitchen, Frodo’s sure there are tears in his eyes. Though Sam insists that’s only the smell of chopped onions…

Sigh.  (Also, what does it say about me that my comfort zone is the Siege of Minas Tirith?)
