Bagginshield – I Sit Beside the Fire (Sansûkh)

“He lifted his other hand and allowed it to drift through the wispy white
spiderweb of Bilbo’s hair. ‘I am glad you grew old,’ he said in a low
voice. ‘Whatever the reason, I am glad one of us did. Still, I find I
hate that you grew old without me. Would you laugh at my grey beard, I
wonder? Would we barricade ourselves against each winter, wrapping
ourselves in your quilts and complaining about our bones? Would we grow
more alike as time passed; my mannerisms becoming yours, your words
becoming mine?’”

determamfidd’s fic, Sansûkh. Thorin expressing regret that he could not grow old with Bilbo broke my fragile little heart ;_; Totes recommend this fic if you’re ready for an EPIC read.
