Coming Home
This little story was written for another site , as a challenge to members to write a 'Mary Sue' FanFic with a male LOTR character . It could not be over 2500 words (mine ran just a few over) , which was hard as hell for me . No explicit sex . I figured everyone else would write about the handsome , dashing Elves and Men ... and I was right . So I chose Frodo . (Tied for 2nd place with it too ! :-D )
The story is set to be taking place along with the movie trilogy . I had fun with it , and whipped it out in one setting (then had to go back and whittle & edit it into the word allowance .) But ever since I wrote it , I have been thinking ... what if .... what happens next ? If there is any interest in it , I would love to explore Frodo & Senna's relationship ... and see if there is any truth to the tales about what big feet mean .
The usual disclaimers : I own no Hobbits , Elves , wizards or anything else LOTR related . My sincere apologies to J.R.R Tolkein .
No beta . Mine , mine , all mine ! (such as it is)
No hot sex . No sex at all , in fact . Will only be hot Hobbit sex if I recieve interest in this little tale . Otherwise , they will continue only in my mind .
I hope you enjoy this .

Coming Home
Two years . Had it really been two years since he had last seen her ? Frodo Baggins sat beneath a tree in the Shire under the pretense of reading , but the words swam before his eyes . She was due back for Bilbo’s birthday party , with her guardian , Gandalf the Grey . He closed his eyes , leaning his head back against the rough bark of the tree , and remembered .
He could barely remember a time when Senna was not a part of his life . Gandalf had found her hiding in the ruins of her family’s home thirteen years before , when she was but a child of five , her parents killed by a band of orcs , and she had been left gravely injured . The wizard had brought her to the Shire for safety , healed her , taken her under his protection , and raised her as if she were his own . It had been late Autumn when Gandalf first brought Senna to the Shire , a tiny waif of a girl-child with curls the color of the sun . Frodo was but a year older , and the two had struck up a close friendship over the course of that Winter as she healed ; she called him her brother . She had spent every Summer since that time in the Shire , staying with him and Bilbo , their days spent fishing , playing tag or hide and seek among the hills ,forest and fields ; the nights were largely spent sitting up on Frodo’s bed for long hours , making up tales for one another and sharing dreams.
Last Summer was the first she had not come ; it seems she had found a beau , a young lord from Westfold , and her time was spent with him, instead . Her letters still came regularly , of course , long , rambling letters filled with details of her romance with her lord , but these letters tore at his heart .
For he loved her .
He had grown up loving her , loving her so deeply his heart ached every moment they were apart . But he had never allowed this love to show in any form that was not brotherly – how could he ? For she was a woman of the race of Men , and he was but a Hobbit – a Halfling .
His sharp sense of hearing picked up the distant sound of hooves and the squeak of a wagon on the dirt road leading into town , and he leapt from his spot , racing toward the source of the sound . A wide smile spread across his face ; it was indeed Gandalf’s wagon , but then his heart dropped into the pit of his stomach ; Senna was not with the wizard . Frodo greeted his old friend , hands on his hips . “You’re late .” he said sternly .
After a moment’s friendly banter , he leaped into the wagon from the grassy overhang , hugging Gandalf , trying to hide his disappointment . After a bit of conversation , he managed to ask nonchalantly “Where’s Senna ? Did she not come along “
Gandalf puffed at his pipe , a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth . “Senna , you say ?” the wizard teased . “That name does sound somewhat familiar .”
Just then , there came a thunder of galloping hooves , and Frodo’s head snapped up to see Senna leaning low on her chestnut mare’s neck , galloping at full speed toward them , her blonde hair streaming behind her. She looked like a wild goddess to him , and he could but stare as she grew near .
She reined the mare up next to the wagon and held her arms out to Frodo . “I’ve missed you , Little Brother .” she said with a smile that could light the darkest of halls . For a moment , Frodo could not move , but only gaze up at her – how she had grown up in those two years ! Her body had blossomed into that of a lithe young woman , athletic and hard , but at the same time , soft and curved in all the right places . Her face had lost none of it’s beauty , her blue , blue eyes still filled with child-like wonder . Her lips were rosy and full , and for the briefest of moments , Frodo fought the urge to taste those lips . A blush rose in his cheeks – stop it ! he chided himself mentally . That was a dream that would never be realized … how could it be ? “Are you not going to give me a hug ?” Senna asked playfully , and Frodo willed his feet to move – feet , that at that moment , felt huge , hairy and repulsive to him – and moved to the side of the wagon , hugging Senna tightly as she leaned toward him. “Gods , but I’ve missed you .” she whispered , burying her face in his unruly dark hair . “Come on , ride with me .” she encouraged as she pulled away , and Frodo climbed up into the saddle before her . Senna wrapped her arms around him and clucked to the mare , riding forward .
Gandalf left their company at Bilbo’s house , and Senna and Frodo continued on , to a favorite pond they had shared countless hours at through the years . Senna slid off first , helping the Hobbit down , taking him by the hand , leading him to a rocky outcrop overhanging the crystal clear water . “So , tell me , Frodo , how has everything been for you ? Your letters have become … vague .” Senna said , flopping down and slipping her boots off . She rolled her breeches’ legs up and dropped her feet into the cool water . “Have you found yourself a pretty young Hobbit girl to steal your heart away yet ?”
Frodo felt his cheeks burn , and he looked away . “No , Sunshine , no pretty Hobbit girl to steal my heart away .” he chuckled softly . “I’m sorry you felt my letters were vague , I just did not wish to bore you with all the details of my life .”
“Bore me ?” Senna laughed lightly , a sound like the tinkling of tiny silver bells to the Hobbit’s pointed ears . “Nothing about you bores me , Little Brother .” . She kicked water at him , and Frodo laughed , ducking away . “So how is your Lord Valion ? You have not written , yourself , other than the short note to tell me you would be coming to Bilbo’s party .”
Senna averted her eyes , chewing at her lower lip . “Valion and I …have gone our separate ways .” she replied softly . Frodo jerked his head up , taking her hand . “I made the discovery that he saw fit to be bedding one of his servant girls .” she grimaced .
“Oh , Sunshine , I am so sorry .” Frodo soothed , slipping an arm around her shoulder , and Senna seemed to crumple against him with a sob .
“He said he loved me Frodo , he said he loved me .” she whimpered against his rough tunic . “I was so very stupid…”
“Shh , Sunshine , don’t .” he crooned , rocking her gently . “You weren’t stupid , just trusting . He was the stupid one , to walk away from you ? The man is blind .” He pressed his lips to the top of her head , holding them there . He put both arms around her , pulling her onto his chest , just holding her , and for several long moments , neither moved . Senna relaxed against him as her tears ran their course , the first tears she had allowed herself to release since making the discovery , and she nuzzled against the warm flesh of his throat . Frodo realized he was holding his breath , and he closed his eyes , releasing the pent breath . “It will be alright , Sunshine ,” he whispered , his lips still against her forehead , “I’m here for you .”
**********************
“Come on Mr. Frodo !” Samwise Gamgee called from the cozy little kitchen . “Bilbo has already gone down to the party , as well as Gandalf ! We don’t want to miss the fireworks !”
Frodo came into the kitchen wearing his best clothing , and a smile a mile wide . “You go on , Sam , I’ll be along in a few moments . I want to wait and walk with Senna .” . When Sam did not move , Frodo shooed him with his hands . “Go on with you ! We’ll be right behind you !” .
Moments after Sam had left , the door to the guest room Senna had been using since childhood opened , and she stepped out into the dining room ; Frodo was left speechless . She wore a long , loose skirt of cornflower blue , ruffled across the bottom . Her blouse was peasant style , laced up the front , worn low on her shoulders , white with a blue floral pattern just matching the skirt . She had her hair pulled loosely up on top of her head with a crown of tiny blue and white flowers . “Oh , Sunshine .” he whispered , stepping forward and taking both of her hands in his . “You look ….” He found he could not complete the sentence for none of the words he knew could convey the depths of his emotions welling up inside him . Senna laughed softly and spun for him , her skirt flaring out , and she kissed his cheek .
“And I will have the most handsome escort at the party .” she said , resting her hand on the crook of his elbow .
*********
The party was in full swing when they arrive , and after eating their fill , they took tankards of rich ale and found seats at a table to the side where Sam was sitting already , mooning over Rosie . Senna and Frodo laughingly made Samwise get up and dance with the pretty Hobbit , and Senna suddenly stood , taking Frodo by the hand and pulling him out to join the other couples . Senna was not tall for a Human , and Frodo was still a head and a half shorter , but Senna did not seem to care . Her laughter filled his ears , and she touched his shoulder , his hand , his chest often . As the night wore on , they found a comfortable spot on a grassy hill to sit together , watching Gandalf’s fireworks display , drinking ale , talking and laughing as if no time had passed since last they had seen one another . Senna turned her face skyward , watching the colorful explosions , and Frodo stole glances at her , until he could not tear his eyes away , memorizing every curve of her graceful throat , every detail of her beautiful face ; she turned toward him without warning , and their eyes met . He raised a hand , caressing her cheek gently , and slowly , so slowly , leaned toward her , pausing before their lips met , prolonging the sweet agony until he could wait no longer , and touched his mouth to hers . Senna gave a soft gasp , but did not pull away , instead leaning toward him and touching her palm to his cheek . Her lips parted , her fingers entwining in his hair , and his tongue hesitantly slipped across her lips , tangling in a most delightful way with hers . Both were breathless when they broke apart . “I love you Sunshine .” he whispered , making direct eye contact with her . It suddenly mattered no longer than he was Hobbit and she Human ; it only mattered that he tell her . “I’ve always loved you .”
“Frodo …” she said softly , and the truth crashed down upon him . What could he have been thinking ?? He pulled away , his cheeks burning hotly , and stood . The fireworks had ended , and Bilbo was being called upon for a speech . He turned his back to her , his chest heaving , fighting the tears that were threatening to overcome him .
“I am so sorry , Sunshine , I shouldn’t have done that , I don’t know what came over me…” he stammered , but Senna came after him , and quieted him with her fingertips brushing his lips .
“Hush , Frodo .” she said softly . “I love you , too .” . And she leaned forward , bending to press her lips to his again .
******************
“Frodo , I’m coming with you !” Senna watched as he hastily tossed a few scant belongings into his pack ; he had told her very little of what Gandalf had told him , and of the ring quest , only that he had a job to do . “Please , don’t do this without me .” The Hobbit turned to her , taking her hands in his own and squeezing them .
“I’m sorry .” was all he could say . He did not trust his voice to say more . He bent to kiss her cheek , but Senna turned her face at the last moment , their lips touching , softly at first before passion so long repressed took over in a kiss designed to mingle souls .
After several long moments , they broke apart , breathless , and Frodo turned for the door . Senna leaned on the frame , watching him leave . “Frodo ?” she called , and he paused , turning to face her . “Come home to me , please ?”
****************
Epilogue:
Frodo opened his eyes slowly ; every muscle in his body hurt , and his dismembered finger throbbed dully . Gandalf sat at his bedside , the warm sun streaming in the window . The doors burst open and Merry and Pippin threw themselves onto the bed with him ; Aragorn , Legolas and Gimli entered the room , beaming . Then came Sam … dear , dear Sam .
But nothing could have prepared him for who came next . Senna … his Senna , wearing a gauzy dress of the palest cream , and a smile upon her face , just for him . Her hands wee clasped behind her back , and she stopped half way across the room . “You came home .” she said softly .
Frodo held out his hand to her , shaking his head . “I came home … to you .” he clarified , and she sat on the edge of his bed . His arms went around her , and he kissed her .
The story is set to be taking place along with the movie trilogy . I had fun with it , and whipped it out in one setting (then had to go back and whittle & edit it into the word allowance .) But ever since I wrote it , I have been thinking ... what if .... what happens next ?
