And the Sky Broke up (Legolas/Gimli | PG | 511 words) is Gimli's point of view during a storm. I, personally, love storms and to see one described so vividly is a treat. I also really like the Gimli characterization since too many fics have him bemoaning his lack of beauty when compared to Legolas. Not so here.
Excerpt:
When I woke in the dark it seemed to me that I still slept. I had turned in my sleep, so that I faced the open plain. The scene there was violent and strange. Lightning tore ragged seams from cloud to earth, its bright flashes illuminating a purple-grey sky. Water coursed down, more a fall of a flood than a fall of rain. The wind keened like a mother searching for a lost child, and, indeed, seemed to be seeking something, though what it sought I doubt any could say.
