Day 22: What Remaining Pleasures
Title: What Remaining Pleasures
Author: were_lemur
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Frodo Baggins
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~150
Warnings: none
Summary: Frodo sustains himself as best he can.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
There are so few things in life Frodo enjoys anymore.
Food has lost its savor, sleep has lost its restfulness, beer and pipeweed have lost their power to comfort.
But there's still the touch of his own hand, and the thoughts of times gone by, when he had been young and hale (he seems neither, though by age he is still in the prime of his life) and had first seen not only the beautiful women of his own kind, but of those of the Elves, as well.
It would feel wrong to think of Arwen as he stroked himself; she was, after all, his friend's wife. But there had been other Elvish maidens in Rivendell, and he imagines them now, and the thought allows him to sustain himself a little longer, at least.
