Fic: Points of Contact (Lord of the Rings) Title: Points of Contact Author: Hyel Disclaimer: Lord of the Rings (c) J.R.R. Tolkien. Characters: Sam and Éowyn Rating: general Word Count: 100 Warning: None, really. Summary: Two things Sam and Éowyn had in common. Note: Written for no_true_pair and the prompt 'Sam and Éowyn: there's no need to complicate / our time is short / this is our fate, I'm yours'.
In one moment, a woman and a hobbit shared a momentous thing: the sense of fate.
Under a black vicious shadow, death-breathing, horror-bringing, the woman fell.
Under perpetual clouds, a hobbit stood, supporting his companion.
They both knew there was no going back; they both knew they would die; they both decided it was right. The battle became their whole world, by becoming its ending.
It was almost a comfort, amidst the terror.
Much later they met, both still dazed with the miracle of their survival, both clutching, amazed, the hand of a loved one.
