From the incredible, talent, unspeakable, seriously-i-can’t-say-enough-how-awesome, https://determamfidd.tumblr.com/, and her fic Sansukh. If you’re a fan of Lord of the Rings, Gigolas, and Bagginshield and you haven’t read this yet, literally what are you doing??? Go read it.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh my god, Gimris’ arms, please carry me away you glorious Dwarf
AHH STONEHELM MY CHILD, I AM SO OVERJOYED YOU DREW HIM, AND SO GORGEOUSLY! AHH HE’S SO BEAUTIFUL!
GIMLI! DARK-HAIRED LEGOLAS! OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
And augh. AUGH. that last Bilbo pic – oh Mahal help me augh i hurt it is so glorious and so OUCH
Dwalin has very undignified last words, Bilbo needs to put the Ring back where it came from or so help me, the main villain appears at last (and I can’t wait to kill him off), and that one thing we’ve all been waiting for finally happens.
This is the final
song planned for Sansûkh, composed and performed by me for SSAA choir.
It will be linked
in the fic on AO3 RIGHT after I write the words, ‘The End’ in Chapter 50.
The poem is from Return
of the King, and is sung by Sam Gamgee. It
has been suggested that it was originally penned by a certain Mr. Bilbo Baggins.
This composition is
lovingly dedicated to my dear friend, @poplitealqueen. Love ya, mate.
Sheet music for download is here. Lyrics reproduced
under the cut.
In western lands
beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe ‘tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.
Though here at
journey’s end I lie
buried in darkness deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
Or ‘waith bain nura Anor
A panlû elin cuinar
Ú-pedithon ‘i-aur gwann’
Egor nai îl ‘namarië’.
(the Elvish stanza is a translation of the last four lines of the poem).
oh my GOD – this – words FAIL me – I am just astounded by the skill and detail and wonderfulness of this!! *SCREAMS UNTIL THE MOUNTAINS RING* LOOOOOOOOKKKKK!
