💙💙 !!

Thank you @logixlight ! I really appreciate you sending the asks for me. I’m going to do something different. This time it’ll be from a different F/O, Frodo Baggins, and he’s one of my long time fictional crushes from LOTR. So I imagined myself in a couple scenes from his source material. Btw, I’m in my mid twenties and he’s in his early thirties when we first met.

💙 In the first scene, Christina is seen sitting around Elrond’s council in Rivendell. She doesn’t make much discussion, but she observes the beings closely around her and watches their body language subtly. Frodo notices her quietly staring off into the distance, potentially thinking about other matters. He whispers to Aragorn,”Who is she? I haven’t met her kind before. Is she a human like you?”

“No, I hear she is not of this world. I don’t know much of her origins and she seems to have unusual powers akin to Gandalf the Grey’s. I heard that she wishes to join our party as the tenth walker. It is up to Elrond now whether he will approve of her merging into our Fellowship.”

“Really?” Frodo muses. ’She’s rather pretty’ he murmurs to himself and catches himself staring at her for way too long. Christina notices the gesture, and her eyes widen and softly flutter in curiosity at the petite brunette hobbit with azure-like irises. Frodo can feel his face grow hot and he quickly turns his head away before she can notice the ever growing blush all over his soft cheeks.

As the meeting drew to a close, tensions arose. Everyone was arguing with everyone over whether to destroy the ring, take it back, or get rid of it any other way. Christina was an empath, and she could sense the fierce tension growing between all the beings at the meeting. Elves, dwarves, wizards, humans and hobbits screaming at each other, and she could feel their anger, their hopelessness, and the dreary powerful effects of the one ring. The atmosphere felt like pieces of extremely sharp glass piercing into her body all over. She was experiencing a full blown anxiety attack. She curled up into her legs, arms underneath in her chair and started breathing shallowly with tears close to falling down.

Frodo noticed this right away, and he had to do something to calm the tension in the air. He couldn’t bear to see this seemingly sweet young woman suffer any longer. This argument seemed to be like literal torture to her! He stood up and yelled,” I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor!”

Everyone stopped yelling…they all slowly turned to see a scrawny, perky, and spunky 4’11 adult hobbit boldly declare his intent. After his declaration, there was much calmer debate about how Frodo was going to carry out this plan. Eldrond decided to give Christina one more chance to join, but he warned her that there’s no such thing as merciful people in battle. Once the meeting was over, he wandered cautiously over to Christina’s chair.

“H-hello there.” he said gently,” are you feeling alright?”

“Yes…I think so,” she breathed out shakily and raspy.

Her breathing slowly came back to normal, but her tears were falling down her now red-stained cheeks. She wiped them away swiftly and tried to look as calm as possible, but it was in vain.

“Don’t worry,” Frodo said soothingly,”it’s hard to adjust to this world, even when you’re a hobbit. To be honest, I’m rather glad you’re joining our Fellowship. We do need more companions on our journey. My name’s Frodo Baggins, son of Drogo Baggins. What’s your name?”

Christina gathered herself a moment, before she slowly replied,” Christina Flatleigh, daughter of Patrio Flatleigh.” She turned her head to look up into his eyes again, and smiled softly. “Thank you for standing up for me.”

“T’was nothing.” He said shyly before turning his head away, hand over his other arm, once again trying to hide the redness all over his face.

💙 In the second scene, Frodo, Sam and Christina have finally thrown the ring into Mount Doom and the volcano finally erupts. As we lay into the ashes on a temporarily safe rock, all of us seemingly say our goodbyes. Frodo thanks Sam for being the best friend he ever had, and that he wishes he could have seen The Shire again. Sam reminds him that The Shire will always be near, and that Sam will marry Rosie Cotton one day. I thank both Frodo and Sam for being so kind to me, and that I’ll forever be in their debt for looking out for me.

Before she blacked out, Frodo turns to her and says hoarsely,” Christina, I’ve always loved you. Even when we met in Rivendell, I could tell you were different from the rest of us in the Fellowship years ago. But your differences, to me, I always found so beautiful in you.”

Her eyes widen a bit in shock over what she was hearing. She couldn’t believe that the timid, yet strong-willed hobbit she loved and cared for on this journey, returned her feelings.

Frodo continued, on the verge of tears,” If you ever feel the same for me…if we ever make it alive, I promise you, I will marry you—in The Shire. Then we can start a life—anew together, my love.”

Happy tears spilled out from her eyes, “Yes! Yes I will marry you! I love you so much!” Her voice was cracked and broken from the volcano heat, but Frodo could hear her loud and clear. He reached out for her hand, and with what little strength he could muster held onto her hand and turned his head towards hers to look into her eyes for seemingly one last time.

Until the giant eagles came, and Gandalf whispered to them to pick them all up and save them. All three of them blacked out soon after that. After a few days of recovery in The Shire, Frodo, Sam, and Christina have fulfilled their promises on the verge of death itself. Sam married Rosie Cotton, and it was a huge wedding to celebrate for. Frodo and Christina were nominated as best man and maid of honor at the wedding.

A few weeks later, Frodo proposed to Christina and it was an extremely joyous occasion. Their wedding started soon after that. Beings from all over Middle Earth came to see the wedding. Almost everyone from the original Fellowship attended the wedding; Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf the White, Sam, Merry, Pippin, and even Bilbo came along. Unfortunately, Aragorn was a king of Gondor, so he couldn’t really attend, but he sent beautiful wedding gifts to Frodo and Christina.

Years later, Frodo still felt pain from many physical enemy wounds, as well as PTSD from the events. The pain was so bad, and it made him so weary, that even Christina’s magical empathic nature could never heal the wounds that scarred him from his journey. Frodo couldn’t take anymore and had to board the Elven ship to The Undying Lands. Christina boarded with Frodo, since she couldn’t imagine a day living without him. So they sailed together into new foreign lands and continued their married life until the end of their days in the afterlife.
