Wow, that was heartrending!! :-( (but well-done!!)

Thank you! I haven't written fic in years, and wanted to do something with more bonding, but it just wouldn't flow. I'm glad you liked it.

That was very powerful! Oh, Sam.

Somehow, pretty much all my stories end in "Oh, Sam!"

Thank you for commenting!

[stripytights]

Very powerful! I liked the bleak sense of Sam's despair in this.

That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
Oh keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!
You! hypocrite lecteur!-mon semblable,-mon frère!”

I studied The Waste Land as part of my PhD, so your piece really hit home for me.

Oh, then you saw the line inspired by I think we are in rats' alley/where the dead men lost their bones. But mostly poetry is over my head--I just have a smattering of classics knowledge.

I'm very glad you liked it!

Put it together with the dry bones in Part V and the chapel becomes the Sybil's grotto.

For someone who says poetry is over their head, you made good use of TWL. I saw, from the title of your story, the end you were leading us to, and it gave me chills the whole way through.
