Lord of the Rings: Above the Dead City by ceterisparibus
Above the Dead City (Frodo-Sam | G | 1,584 words): A missing scene between Frodo and Sam about Frodo being drawn towards Minas Morgul. It's lovely and angsty and a good look at what being the Ringbearer was like for Frodo.
Excerpt:
"Mr. Frodo?" Sam's rough voice cut through the night air like a whistle, or so it seemed to Frodo. The ringwraith and its winged beast had already vanished from sight, but the footsteps of orcs thundered beneath the hiding place where the hobbits huddled on the first steps of the Stair.
Frodo remained hunched with his back pressed to cold stone as the wound on his shoulder throbbed. He kept his head bowed and his eyes squeezed shut. The weight of the Ring hung heavy around his neck—heavier, somehow, than it had been before.
