Author's Notes:  Late...oops...  Also, I don't think I have a good grasp of the drabble, but I figured I'd enter what I had anyway.



He stood in Sauron’s smithy. He had carried himself there on his own two feet. He drew out that … Lover? Master? Self? ... that Golden Ring. And he remembered no more.

Until he found himself standing beside his … Servant? Gardener? Brother? ... his Friend of Friends. Sam had carried him out….

But to Mordor, the land of despair. 

To be out, Frodo knew now, was not to be whole — was not to be happy.

Until…

“Come in, Mr. Frodo. You’ll catch your death of cold out here!”

And Sam led him through the green door of Bag End.

Aww. Thanks! :-)

I'm not really a fan of angst...though I've written probably more of it than a not-fan ever should...but I couldn't really think of anything else to write. Hehe.

For me it's not a question of to angst or not to angst--it's what its purpose is, and how well that purpose is executed. If it's anxietas gratia anxietatis then yes, I will have issues, especially if Frodo is wallowing in it (he is hardly a wallower in canon!), but if it's a brief incisive moment followed by a lot of backtracking that can be loads more powerful.

"he's hardly a wallower in canon!"

TAKE THAT, FROLIJAH!
