Incredible how Tolkien took a detail as simple as Merry noticing the approaching Nazgûl thanks to the moonlight and, instead of leaving it at that, added layers that make this moment all the more incredible.
The darkness of Sauron and his Nazgûl originate in Morgoth.
The Moon comes from the last flower of Telperion, the Tree which Morgoth destroyed out of fear and hatred of its light.
And the Moon was created by Elbereth, of whom Morgoth was afraid since the beginning.
And it is that same light, from that same creator, that exposes creatures of that same darkness 2 entire ages later.
Wow.

Frodo at Weathertop
a/n: another compilation made by @almost-gabrielle and I
paring: frodo x fem! reader
_________________________________
⬩ when frodo got stabbed on weathertop, you were immediately at his side.
⬩ you held his hand the entire time he was in pain as strider fought off the nazguls, doing your best to comfort him.
⬩ you shielded him from harm's way as strider fought them off.
⬩ when you reached the forest and set frodo down on the ground, you pulled his head gently to your lap.
⬩ you whispered sweet nothings, being sure to be incredibly careful with him, until help arrived.
⬩ but you were basically weeping the whole time at the thought of Frodo dying
⬩ when the she-elf had whisked frodo away to rivendell, you were anxious, wondering if you'd ever get to see him again.
⬩ the first thing you did when you got to rivendell was asking where frodo's room was.
⬩ lord elrond led you to his chambers personally.
⬩ when you got yourself comfortable after sitting down in a chair, you gently grabbed frodo's hand, carressing his knuckles softly.
⬩ you promised yourself that you would stay at his side and stay awake until he woke up.
⬩ you actually couldn't though, and fell asleep due to all the stress and exhaustion.
⬩ But then you woke to the pleasant surprise of being kissed by Frodo!

Eddie munson is the cutest little being ever.
Just imagine you had a bad day at work and he randomly ushers you out of his trailer at early hours, forcing you into his van. Then he has a leisurely little drive on down to weathertop and pulls out a little blanket and some pillows from the back of his trunk and sets them at the top. So, there the two of you are and your both just admiring the view, for you it’s the gleaming of the stars, for him it’s you, it always is. He’s utterly focused on you that is until you spring up in pure joy to announce “a shooting star!!” as you watch it pass by. Eddie smiles at how cute and childish that little action was but he tells you to make a wish in which you do. The wish is kept to yourself so that it stays true and you both continue to sit in the tranquility of the mid August breeze. It brushes off of your face, making your button nose and cheeks a rosey pink. When you shiver it’s like Eddies radar is set off and he wraps his clad leather jacket around you and takes you back towards the clunky van (you sit there for a while and just wait for his slow ass to bring the blanket and pillows back because he’s a gentleman duh). There he gets clambers inside and begins to drive back, his hand on your thigh and a new found love of weathertop for the both of you. Maybe it’ll become a cute little spot for the two of you. <3
This is shit but yk it’s my first little writing idea thing I hope you like ittttt 🤍

"A Knife in the Dark"
2021
Frodo thought that he heard a faint hiss as of venomous breath and felt a thin piercing chill. Then the shapes slowly advanced.
