For Gigolas week – Day 2, “pets”
(I finally wrote an Arod fic – I think it’s mandatory for Gigolas writers, isn’t it? 🙂

In Western Lands (Sam’s Song).
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).

*HOWLING*
After reading the newest chapter and stoically crying over the gloriousness of your writing, I can’t help but think to the distant future: Gimli has just died (after a LONG AND HAPPY LIFE) and after greeting everyone in the afterlife and learning about being able to see the living he goes to the pools every single Mahal-damned day and watches Legolas grieve and fade. :’) its fine, im fine.
WOW OUCH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Finished. For @determamfidd and her epic Sansukh.
*grips heart* oh my GOD
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!
Gimli! Legolas! Thorin and Bilbo and oh god the tears, the tears are OW, and Frodo and Sam here are so goddamn perfect i am cry, Frodo’s face and Sam’s sweet resolute expression and HELP ME I KEEP LOOKING AT ALL THIS DETAIL AND FLAILING – Legolas’ armour and the Art Nouveau travery on his tunic and the Durin Blue on Gimli (THAT TEXTURE!!!) and the brooch, and HIS CHEEK-TASTIC GRIN I am gonna hyperventilate here!
and omg Barad-Dur in the background SO PERFECT YES BECAUSE YES OH MY GOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHH
thank you! Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
“Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an Elf.
What about side by side with a friend?
Aye, I can do that.”
Legolas + Gimli
for: @demurenobody
Oh my god, so much, what a wild ride of a chapter, Thranduil likes Gimli now, holy shit (tbh I’m still not used to Gimli and Legolas hanging around in Erebor), DURIN for god’s sake, the poor poor shire, and DÍS oh Dís she finally gets to rest, it’s after 3am here so this is probably incoherent but as usual I can’t find it in myself to regret it
(it really does feel weird to have them together in Erebor – probably why i was all: ‘right, LET’S GET THEM OUT OF HERE NOW, we’ve done all we needed to do!’)
*hugs* hope you got some rest, Nonnie!
Aw Yiss
