Nostalgic Memories

"Mr. Frodo! Mr. Frodo!" The little voice piped like a whistle through the golden afternoon, and he looked up in time to see the bright-haired faunt running toward him, arms outstretched. He caught the lad in mid-leap, and found himself caged in small limbs, and his lips pressed in a warm kiss, loudly released. He smiled, dazed and a little taken aback at Hobbiton manners. Not something Merry would have done, that.

"It's so fine that you're back, Mr. Frodo!" Sam squeaked. "I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived." The child hugged him again, and Frodo laughed.

"You must tell me everything that has happened since I saw you last," Frodo said, as he set Samwise down, and the boy quickly took his hand. He began with the birth of the new calf as they started up towards the Hill, the sunlight warm upon the grass.

Indeed!
What a cute, tender, lively, innocent ficlet (!)
After all, this pic is a froze-frame. It's not like they were necking for hours. Personally, I saw it like you, as a quick, affectionate peck on the mouth.

By the way, I agree with your earlier comment today.
People can express different opinions but it's too bad when it degenerates into hurtful and wrongful accusations. There has been too many artists hurt lately (and along the years) in this fandom. They don't deserve this and we are being deprived of interesting contibutions. Mind you, I should not stigmatize our LOTR circle, it's probably the same in every fandoms, humans having the same flaws everywhere.

I get both sad and angry when I see how artists who put so much effort into their work get insulted, hounded and berated in this fandom. Why can't people just mind their own business?

Wonderful, Serai.

*grin* Thanks!

What a lovely and sweet elucidation of a lovely and sweet work of art!

[serai1.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say!

Just a lovely and perfect vignette. How nice to add some words to an already wonderful, hobbity moment.

Many thanks to you and Glory for a nice ending to the day.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Glory's is a wonderful piece, better than mine, I think. But it just had to be said, didn't it? Not going to let some party-poopers insult our hobbits like that!

[celandine-g.livejournal.com]

They are both lovely stories and such a great idea. We hobbit writers must support our hobbit artists!

It still makes my blood boil when I think about it, though, it really does.

A lovely little vignette Serai! Thank you.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I'm very glad you like it.

This is a lovely tribute to a beautiful picture done by a sweet artist who should never have been attacked for her work. Thank you for writing it, and for using that beautiful icon.

You're welcome. I just couldn't let this one pass by, and I think wee Sam was rather indignant at the things that were being said about him and his Mr. Frodo. ;)

For showing that a kiss can be given and received in pure innocent affection and that there is absolutely nothing wrong in that, thank you. What a pity some will never see it that way.

I'm glad you like it!

I can't imagine what it would be like to grow up without lots and lots of kisses. What a sad thought.

This is absolutely adorable! :D

[serai1.livejournal.com]

With that inspiration, it could hardly be anything but!

I love wee Sam.
