More Frodo/Aragorn drabbles

[sophinisba]

Even though nobody asked for them specifically, because I was fantasizing about these two in class today, and because I know a couple of you are always in the mood for more F/A. PG-13 or so.



After, they lie on their sides, and Frodo feels the warmth of Aragorn's chest pressing against his back. Frodo can still feel the whip wheals, that slight sting at first, but there is no longer shame or even real pain, only comfort in the touch. Aragorn folds his arms over Frodo's own, holding him close. Before, in the months they walked side by side, Frodo used to feel foolish, absurdly small in the company of Men and Elves. But since they became lovers, Frodo knows that he fits, that this is where he wants to be, and where he belongs.

Aragorn whispers in his ear and Frodo, whose Elvish never progressed much beyond greetings and pleasantries, smiles as the meaning reaches him clearly nonetheless. Love, devotion, protection. After a little while the king abandons language and finds a better use for his tongue. One hand smoothes down to Frodo's hip and the other up to the scar on his left shoulder. Any contact there always produces a chill, but the gentle kneading of Aragorn's fingers brings Frodo warmth; the firm embrace steadies him as the shiver passes. "And all of it will pass," Frodo murmurs, "only never let me go."

I like this, both in Frodo's sense of belonging (something he often didn't have even in the Shire) and that double sense of chill/warmth.

[sophinisba]

Thank you! It was fun for me to write about Frodo being happy for a change, even if I couldn't resist throwing in a few bits about wounds and chills.

I just LOVE this. I love this idea of him belonging, of fitting. And it makes me feel blissfully happy to have Frodo safely in Aragorn's arms.

You SO TOTALLY have to write a multi-chapter type Frodo/Aragorn fic. *begs shamelessly*

[sophinisba]

Hee, I don't really think I should start another multi-chapter type fic, what with the four I'm trying to finish, but your begging is always gratifying!

Said it before and I'll say it again: I never would have understood the loveliness of F/A if it weren't for you.

[b-briarwood.livejournal.com]

You have such a wonderful touch when writing these two!

*joins Claudia in begging*

[sophinisba]

Ah, thank you! I'm not very good at finishing things, so it's probably best if I don't start any more long fics right now, but it's lovely of you to ask.

Aw, what a gorgeous thing to wake up to! I love this, particularly:

Frodo can still feel the whip wheals, that slight sting at first, but there is no longer shame or even real pain, only comfort in the touch.

(Of course, "wheals" plural made me think F&A were into S&M, but that's a topic for another time.)

since they became lovers, Frodo knows that he fits, that this is where he wants to be, and where he belongs.

Gorgeous.

[sophinisba]

Oh, man, I would so love to see more fics about Frodo and whoever being into consensual BDSM. I kink bigtime on that stuff, and there's just not nearly enough of it in hobbitfic.

Ahem. But, er, evil orcs, yes, thank goodness he has good gentle vanilla Aragorn now. I'm very glad you enjoyed this.

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

You've read angiet's fics, I presume? She's written some F/A consensual BDSM type of things.

[sophinisba]

I hadn't, but I will check them out, thank you!

[shirebound]

Ohhh, what happiness and contentment and gentle love!

:D

[sophinisba]

Thank you so much -- I thought of you while I was writing it! I told myself: make it gentle, comforting... like a Shirebound fic, but with sex!

[shirebound]

Eeeeee, and I hope you write more of them!

:D

[sophinisba]

Thanks, they do make a lovely couple, I think, with or without the slash.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

You write them with such tenderness and love that it just warms the heart. I love Frodo's sense of being where he belongs, of having a safe harbor in Aragorn's arms. Beautiful.

[sophinisba]

Thank you, Julia. I'd never really written about Frodo feeling safe and content before, though I so enjoy reading it. This felt good to do.

[slipperieslope.livejournal.com]

"Frodo knows that he fits".

Ah, Sophie! These are lovely. Such lovely warm comfort and safety in your Aragorn and peace. Thank you!

[sophinisba]

Oh, thank you very much! The bit you quoted was me getting over an old interspecies hang-up of mine, can you tell?

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm as happy as Claudia! :) These were beautiful... warm, cuddly, sensual, erotic... all the nice things F/A fic should be. :)

[sophinisba]

Frodo and Aragorn did a really great job keeping me entertained during a very boring class yesterday. No spectacular coupling, just the cuddling. It only felt right to share the thought with you.

[alchemie.livejournal.com]

Oh how lovely. *relishes*

[sophinisba]

Thank you!

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

Must credit Claudia for reccing this. OOooh I got tingles reading this. Lovely lovely lovely!!! Breaks my heart that one so beautiful should suffer so much abuse to his body but the gorgeous Aragorn is there to cherish those hurts and smooth them away. Oooh tingling again!

[sophinisba]

Aw, thank you so much for reading! Claudia and lilybaggins have been so kind and helpful to me in the brief time I've been active in the fandom, and it's really through knowing them and reading their fics and thoughts that I've come to feel the Frodo/Aragorn love as well.

[harukameko.livejournal.com]

Awww this is so sweet, yet touching. I love the idea of Frodo finding comfort in Aragorn, both as a mate as someone who can help him make his own pain go away.

[sophinisba]

Oh, thank you very much. I'm fond of this one; it felt good for me to be nice to Frodo for a change.
