He understands himself through slivers of Otherness and One-of-Us. To be King is to be othered. So, too, is to not be King. A failure of seed and effort of a mother to provide hope for her people. She who devoted her entire being to that cause. I gave hope, I reserved none for myself she said as she died.

Aragorn was gentle with her, he held her hand, he said he loved her and would always remember her and that he would do his duty as she wanted him to. Later, years and years later, to someone who knows what it is to hold heavy burdens Aragorn asked, How can that be said to a son who did not ask for such sacrifice to be made on his behalf?

And Bilbo replied, I don’t think she meant it like that. In my experience, the dying are sometimes speaking to those already dead rather than the living in front of them. Tell me, Aragorn, do you look much like your father?

That's a Wrap!

Everyone should have received a gift! If for some reason you haven’t seen yours yet, please reach out! I’ll be keeping the AO3 collection open and unmoderated for a bit longer in case anyone would like to cross-post their gifts there.

I hope everyone has a happy new year!
