Paths for the Dead by James Walkswithwind (PG)

Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] zortified
Author Website: Gila's Cave
Why this must be read:

A fascinating look at the afterlife for the denizens of Middle Earth, a long-debated topic. What happens to hobbits, dwarves, and men after death? Professor Tolkien didn't tell us, but this is the best, and for me perhaps the happiest vision I've come across. Very Pippin-focused. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy.

Peregrin recalled Gandalf's words, that day in the White City, even after so many years.

He wasn't expecting the gentlehobbit sitting at a podium with a very large book.

It's melancholy and haunting.
