[browngirl]

Title: A Warming Draught
Fandom: LOTR
Characters/Pairing: Merry, Sam, Frodo, and one of these commas is really a slash
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I love hobbits without owning them in any way.



Merry tilted the teapot. "It's done. I'll go fetch more."

"Merry," Frodo's sharp voice snapped Merry's glance back across the line of carollers filling up on cake and cheese, bread and baked apples and mulled cider. Frodo raised a cautioning eyebrow, but did smile, so Merry grinned before ducking into the kitchen.

Sam was filling the last of three teapots, fragrant steam billowing up. "Mr. Merry! I'm just on my way with these to the table---"

"Hullo, Sam." Merry tilted his grin, taking hold of Sam's shoulders. "The tea can wait, I've come to warm up." With that, Merry kissed him.

Eeei. I love me some kissin' hobbits, I do. And Merry/Sam is a delightful surprise.

Smooching hobbits, yay!

(speaking of smooching hobbits, I owe *you* a comment as soon as I can.)

N'aww, cuteness. I love your hobbits.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*beam* Thank you!

*licks your icon*

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

You sneaky. :D Although your icon was a dead giveaway.

GODS I love hobbits. You're reminding me. <3 Because they have... tea. And kitchens, and carollers, and need warming up. And are really heroes.

What is this CMEM thing? I am missing something, I just know it. But yay for Ruby-hobbit-ficlets!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the icon really was rather a giveaway. *wink*

"Celebrate Middle-Earth Month" is a celebration going on all month of, well, Middle Earth. They repost the directions periodically in the middleearthnews newsletters.

This is just, I mean, this is why hobbits are great. Hobbits are so great. *grins and bounces*

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Hobbits are wonderful! *beam*

[aprilkat.livejournal.com]

Yum. We should all just be hobbits and the world would be so fine...

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Boromir clearly likes that idea. :)

Incidentally, I was in DC this weekend, and thought of you, but didn't have time to drop you a line. Next time!

[aprilkat.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, please let me know next time! *hugs*

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[capra-maritimus.livejournal.com]

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Yay, hobbits. :D

I didn't see your icon until I hit the link to reply, but I had a feeling it would be Merry and Sam who were doing the kissing here, even before that. *grin* Well, obviously, since I had been loading the reply page...

Anyhow, my brain is fried but this was delightful, so warm and sweet and I would not mind cuddling with them both.

Frodo's nice too. *snrk*

*hugs you*

*giggle* I love this icon, you know. So when I was picking a slash pairing for this little drabble cycle, I had to go with it.
