    Summary

    “Rosie Cotton dancing,” Sam said, “and Pippin and Merry stealing the fireworks early. And you-” his voice died in his throat. He could feel Frodo’s eyes on him, but Sam kept his gaze steady on the far-off horizon. Somewhere, he hoped, the armies of Rohan and Gondor and all the kingdoms of men were gathered. He hoped that he and Frodo hadn’t been too late. Sam hoped a lot of useless things.

    “Your laughter, Mister Frodo.” Sam’s voice was rough from smoke and the building tears in the back of his throat. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember the sound of Frodo’s laugh. The shape of his smile- how it formed dimples in his cheeks and made his eyes crinkle up into little crescents. It had been so long, the memories felt faint and dreamy, like something Sam had imagined long ago. Once, a lifetime past, Frodo’s smile was Sam’s favorite thing in the widest world. More beautiful than any flower he could grow in the garden, brighter than any of Gandalf’s fireworks cracking open in the sky. “I loved to hear you laugh, sir,” Sam whispered, and he felt a tear trace down his filthy cheek.

    Summary

    Frodo died on Weathertop, leaving Sam to become the Ringbearer and finish the quest.

    But even so, he didn’t leave Sam alone. This other Frodo, though, who has cold skin and white eyes and shies away from the sun...something’s not quite right about him.

    Summary

    "I spent all my hope on the wish that we'd both return home, Sam, alive and well. And I left none for the dream that you'd return my affections."

    Sam let out something like a sob and a laugh. "Begging your pardon, Mr. Frodo, but you are a right fool."
