Wow, them bunnies bite hard! *rubs ankle*

Written from shirebound's plot bunny abour Faramir dreaming of Frodo's departure.

This is really short, and it would take longer to list all the pairings and categories it implies than it takes to read it, so you'll just have to trust me. I shall shock you with one thing, however - it's angsty. (Didn't see that coming, didja?)



Asunder
by Serai


In the very depths of the night, Faramir awakes sobbing. For a moment, he doesn’t know where he is. Then strong arms tighten about him, and the King's voice, slow and overheated, whispers, "What is it? What has happened?"

Pain prevents an answer for long moments. The sound of waves, the glimmering sunset clouds, the light flaring like a fallen star on the horizon before disappearing. Finally he chokes out, “He is gone."

Aragorn looks up at his wife leaning over the stricken Dreamer, and her luminous eyes declare the truth of it. He feels the loss shuddering in the air around him, and so he begins to sing, low and long, as he gentles Faramir's grief into a deep sleep.

So much emotion - He feels the loss shuddering in the air around him, and so he begins to sing, low and long, as he gentles Faramir's grief into a deep sleep.
So beautiful and sad. Thank you!

Thanks, I'm very glad you like it! The subject has been written by others, but always with a joyful bent. When I got hit with the image of Faramir crying, I realized that there might be others in Middle Earth besides the Travelers who would weep to know they would never see Frodo again. :)
