   Summary

   An alternate universe where Grima accepts Frodo's offer at the end of the Scouring of the Shire to remain at Bag End. From there, a journey towards something akin to making amends - I'll not say redemption for that requires remorse of which Grima feels very little. Along the way, there is acquisition of friendships(?) and the creation of a printing press about which Grima has Many Spicy Opinions and, eventually, a return to Rohan.

    

   note: it's literary/experimental in style. If you're interested in seeing how it ought to look and not AO3's clunky style, follow the link in the author's notes to the google doc. Ratings/tags/warnings may change
