A beautiful story indeed...very well written. The illustrations are by far some of the best work I've seen - the second one in particular reminds me of a photo of Sean and Elijah I saw not long ago on SANET (both of them were in virtually the exact same pose, if I recall correctly).
In a way, this story brings back memories of another fic I read a long time ago - "All That I Had" on West of the Moon by Elanya. It wasn't focused so much on the 'sexual' relationship between Frodo and Sam as the emotional one - the bond between them that spoke more of friends and brothers than simply master and servant.
Well, baby! Thank you! I didn't even know you read fan fic very much. I'm honored that you enjoyed it. I LOVE writing Sam and Frodo.. and am working on a sequel to these two stories.
Believe it or not, I actually do. I have a list of authors that I routinely keep up with on Stories of Arda including Dreamflower, Anso the Hobbit, Larner and SoundofHorns. I also read the fic on West of the Moon, and the_mad_hobbit has some wonderful stories of her own on her website.
I also read Marigold Cotton's LiveJournal Tale Challenges that are posted monthly - she collects fics from a wide variety of authors each month (different themes) and posts them in LiveJournal.
Ah, so THAT'S where I recognize that drawing style from. I knew it looked familiar somehow. Definitely an artist, that one.
As for Rory, he's fine. He's in the process of looking for a new job at the moment (which around here are hard to find at best), but he's hanging in there. In fact, he asked about you not long ago - wondering if I had spoken to you lately. I dare say I think you've made an impression on the boy. *cheesy grin*
Thank you for the kind words (and thank you Rak, for being so sweet)... yes, I used a photo of Sean and Elijah as my source, except in the original photo, Elijah's face was not turned towards Sean, but they were looking in the same direction....
I appreciate your compliments, and you have no idea how much they mean to me.

A fine tale, and no mistake. Thanks for sharing!
