Oz/Lord of the Rings (PG)
Most xovers with Oz have tended to be with Law & Order: SVU, but thanks to a new challenge the xover net is starting to be spread a squidge wider, and gives me the opportunity to rec this fic--
Title: In the Darkness by Kitestringer
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: kitestringer
Author web site: Actizera's Fic
Why this must be read: Because it's strange and eerie and wonderfully unique. The author captures the two Ozzies here impeccably, their dialogue rings so true to an episode it's uncanny. The other presence in the fic is drawn just as sharply, just as vividly, permeating the story with its will.
“I think I’ve got it.” Once the paint around it had been loosened, the small section of wall was easy to pull out. Beyond it was a dark little space, no taller or wider than a man’s hand. Rebadow peered inside. “There’s something in there.”
“Really?” Busmalis breathed. “Neat!”
Rebadow reached inside and pulled out a small brown envelope fastened with a bit of red wax. Judging from the shape and the heft of it, there was something solid and heavy inside. He cracked the wax seal and shook the contents out onto his hand.
It was a ring. Gold, gleaming, and flawless; the untold number of years that had passed since it had been hidden away within the walls of the prison hadn’t touched it at all. As he gazed upon the ring, feeling its pleasing weight in his palm and letting his eyes savor its symmetry, Rebadow felt he’d never seen anything so perfect in design.
And the rest of it can be found here:
In the Darkness
Prepare for a shiver up the spine.
