Too much love they waste on me, apart or together. Too much love, when one or both of them slips down the Bag End hallway and into my bed of nights, wrapping sturdy limbs around me and guarding against my nightmares. Too much love, when they scoff at my polite mention of a guest bed, lavishing their most imaginative wantonnesses upon me, striving by their heat to keep the darkness at bay. Too much love they should spend on each other, on their families, on the Shire, not waste on me when even all their effortful love can't heal me.

That's as good a way to distract someone from grief as any . . . Yay Hobbits!

Oh, yes, those four are *definetely* trying their very best. :)

Poor Frodo, though, it's not quite working....

No such thing as too much love :). Lovely snapshot, and also a nicely subtle portrayal of someone who judges themself unworthy of love.

You capture Frodo's hopelessness well. *wipes tear off cheek*
