1 Ficlet - The Hobbit

Thorin watched the little Hobbit sitting close by the campfire, and he couldn't help but smile. Yes, he had been sure that it was not a good idea to take him with them; yes, he had been sure he would be a burden; and yes, he had never been that wrong.

This little guy knew to surprise him every moment anew; he was so much stronger and smarter than expected... and he had crept into his heart much deeper than Thorin liked to admit.

2 Ficlet - Lord of the Rings

Rosie's heart was up to her mouth; the rumors that had reached the Shire were about the upcoming return of the Ringbearer and his fellows. All the time, she had refused to give up hope, though the times had been dark and dangerous; even here in the Shire, she hadn't been able to accept that she would probably never see him again: Sam, the little gardener, to whom belonged her heart for so long already.

Now, the darkness was gone, the sun was shining again, and Sam was on his way back home, but she couldn't help but wonder if he would still be the same after all he had gone through.

3 Ficlet - Lord of the Rings

Finally he was back; Rosie held Sam close in her arms, she felt his warmth and the softness of his new clothes, she could smell tobacco smoke and she heard his familiar voice murmuring reassuring words.

„I'm back, Rosie, and I will never leave the Shire ever again; the most beautiful place I can imagine.“

And she fought her tears back and smiled because this was what you were supposed to do when the heroes came home, but deep inside, she knew that the sadness she could read in Sam's eyes would never fade away entirely again.
