   Summary

   In the months after Sauron's defeat, a village on the outskirts of Gondor prepares for the winter as best it can. Their crop yield was poor, trade remains disrupted, and they aren't hunters by profession. The world was saved, or so they were told; but heroism can't fill your stomach.

   In the mountains nearby, some unlikely settlers find themselves in a position to offer charity.

   (I'm obsessed with the idea of redeemable/free orcs rn)
