General, Reason for Rating: N/A (G-Rating)
Romance Partners: N/A
Pippin reflects on Frodo in Minas Tirith. A short, one-shot story born
from a plot bunny with a gun and a very itchy trigger finger! My first
Pippin and Frodo story and the first story I've ever done in first
person I perspective.

Basically this is just a few moments between Pip and Frodo...just one
scene. I actually thought when I started writing that it was going to
be a drabble or at the very most, a double drabble. It turned out a
bit longer, but is still of a length that could be considered a "ficlet".

It's written from Pip's perspective and in first person I...a
perspective from which I have NEVER written before. It's amazing what
a fluffy bunny with a gun can make you do!

It features semi-sick Frodo and Pip as it's main characters, but has a
minor appearances by Aragorn and a mention of Merry.

I suppose it would be rated G. There's no slash intended, but I
suppose if one were so inclined, it could be read that way (just
wasn't the way I saw it as I was writing it).

As far as category, I suppose you could call it h/c, but very minor h
with lots of c, but it would probably fit better in just a general
category or maybe Fluffy Angst (is there such a category?). Enjoy!
