Nocturne by Lobelia Sackville-Baggins (R)

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Frodo/Sam, Merry/Pippin
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mirabellawotr
Author Website: House of Hobbits
Why this must be read:

This is a moving and almost wistful story. It begins at Weathertop and ends just before the Fellowship leaves Rivendell, and the relationships among the hobbits develop and change along the way. Not only the romatic relationships - there is also a nice connection between Sam and Merry as they each realize one of the burdens of love: the fear of losing their respective loved ones. The six chapters (with at least one from the point of view of each hobbit) provide a lovely description of hobbits caring for each other in the large, strange world.
