   Summary

   There was something missing to him, to his dear beloved Frodo, and Sam did not see him, was not allowed to see him—for truly, who does he think he is to demand such things—but Sam saw it clearly all the same: by the time he finally made it to his lovers side, Frodo was dead.

   Frodo dies on the way to Rivendell. The Elves turn back time to prevent this.
   And Sam, who would not leave him, learns how they do it.
