Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Gen - Pippin, Gandalf
Author on LJ: Author Website: Why this must be read:Because the world is really big and a hobbit - no matter how brave he is - is very small.
This is one night at Minas Tirith - a lull in the fighting where fear comes into play. It shows a very real worry of the hobbits - thrust from a safe life and with more and more familiar things stripped away from them, until Pippin finds himself in a strange city where the most familiar thing to him is an awe-inspiring wizard who's come back from the dead. This does a good job at showing not only Pippin's concern, but also how he has - in the midst of everything - become important to Gandalf too.
It's sweet and sad and there's a battle in the morning, but Pippin - and the reader - feel more hopeful by the end.
