LotR fic: In Darkness [Balin, general]
Title: In Darkness
Author: celandineb
Fandom: LotR
Characters: Balin
Rating: general
Warnings: angst, character death
Summary: The end of a dream in Moria.
Note: This vignette was written for the Crossover Challenge on HASA, which asked authors to write about a species other than those they usually wrote on. I always felt rather sorry that the Dwarf who was most friendly with Bilbo was the one who went off to Moria and died there.
Mine will be a lonely end. But then, I suppose all ends are. How did I come to this? I had such high hopes of restoring Khazad-dûm to its old glory. Now I see that I was like a child reaching to touch the bright metal on the anvil. For my pride I have led my people into danger and ruin.
