Amazing healing power of fanfic

[sophinisba]

Yesterday afternoon I was feeling a little sad, and somehow even all the gorgeous pics of a certain young man in a bright yellow t-shirt weren't doing much to cheer me up. I considered writing a whiny, cryptic post to elicit virtual hugs from my f-list, but I confined myself to whining a little at claudia603 and then went home and read shirebound's Sing Me Home, and had a good, satisfying cry. I've been feeling much, much better since then.

Yea, Janet! The Lord of the Rings now has a heartbreakingly beautiful happy ending in my mind, and she didn't even have to go AU! How does she do this?! The woman's talent is staggering!

*celebrates*

ETA: The complete story (with fantastic epilogue, Frodo and Sam and Frodo's strong arms) is here.

Oh, and until I followed your link, I didn't realize that "West of the Moon" doesn't have the last chapter archived! If you want to read the VERY last chapter ("Reunion"), please go here:

Wonderful! This too is now saved to my hard drive and I'll read it tonight, I can't wait. I'll also update the link that took me to WotM. Thanks again, dear.

*more hugs and more hobbits in blankets*
