Drabble for December 24th
The last drabble of the advent calendar, and incidentally, one of my favourites.
Title: The Shieldmaiden's Last Battle
Characters: Eowyn, Faramir
Rating: G
Warnings: None whatever.
She had never told him that she loved him. He had said those words to her more times than she could ever count. He was able to make himself that vulnerable, to trust himself wholly to her hands.

He joins her in her silent vigil, wrapping his mother’s cloak around her once again before standing beside her. Her heart races - her blood pounds - her mind screams in protest, but she cannot help herself, only give in to the feeling rushing through her whole being.
“I love you,” she whispers, and she is healed.
