a fic rec, because some things always matter

[floatingleaf]

Because I need a break from the constant mental angst, and because I simply REFUSE to worry about practical/money-related stuff after 10 p.m., here's a fic rec for you. I would have mentioned it sooner if RL hadn't gotten in the way... but for the past week or so I've felt like I wasn't even able to appreciate it fully, let alone convey my appreciation to the author or anyone else. I need to read it again - several times, probably - when my mind is calmer and less focused on debilitating trivialities of life... but in the meantime, I give you the link to judge for yourselves. dissonant_dream, we've been talking about this. Our fantasy of Aragorn going to Valinor has been fulfilled. And it's been done in a breathtakingly beautiful way. Keep a good supply of tissues at hand.;)

I never figured out all this html stuff about placing a link under a word etc., but the title of the story is Grace, and it was written by geale01. If you know me, you know the pairing.;)

Oh, thank you for this. It was exquisitely beautiful. I need to go back and read it again (and again) when I'm not tired and sore and meh, but oh, it cut through all of that because it was so well written. Beautiful. ♥ Thank you so much for the rec!

You're welcome.:) I knew you were going to love it. <3

Actually, geale01 is one of the few people on my flist who might possibly be interested in joining stars_in_shadow. She doesn't post very often, and lately has threatened to leave the LOTR fandom for Harry Potter - but since she just wrote this fic, I think she can't quite let it go. At least, not yet.;)

Yes. ♥ Thank you again.

It's up to you. You are very welcome to invite her if you would like to, and if she requests membership, I'll recognise her name.

I can't imagine this fandom ever not being a part of me. It's my one true fandom and I always come back to it and I can't let it go.

Well, she seems to have disappeared again.:( The next time she shows up, I'll drop her a note.

Exactly. Same thing here. <333

Oh, I'm sorry she's disappeared, but yes. You are always welcome to invite her if you wish. :)

It's too much a part of me and it's rooted deep in my heart. ♥
