thrihyrne: Portland, OR (Rohirric doorwards)

This one is dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] altariel1 as a belated birthday gift, but it works with the others recently posted.

Day Two: Approach

Faramir paced his room, the walls, the courtyards. Despite his many footfalls, restfulness remained ever ahead of him; tragedy lurked behind in his dim shadow. His feet took him to the Houses' kitchen, where, unsurprisingly, he found Meriadoc.

"Steward!" the hobbit exclaimed, scooting back from the table.

"No, no, please be as you were." Faramir sat down across the board. He felt an unlooked-for kinship with the halfling, his wounds shackling him to the stone walls of Minas Tirith as he himself was bound. Despite Meriadoc's stature, Faramir knew a devoted solider when he saw one, and ached at their doubled impotence. Better to think of something else, even if only for a while. "You know the White Lady of Rohan."

The hobbit swallowed and dabbed at his mouth, vying for time before he answered.

"I knew Dernhelm, my lord. But I would be privileged to tell you of him."
thrihyrne: Portland, OR (Ron on horse)
I asked my fellow Ron/Draco reader and writer [livejournal.com profile] seventines if she remembered a R/D story I read not too long ago that was absolutely brilliant. I thought it had been written for [livejournal.com profile] ron_draco's 9 to 5 challenge, but she didn't recognize my description, and I've combed the other R/D sites that I know of (and therefore would have read it there) as well as [livejournal.com profile] weasleyworship and can't find this story.

I know I sent feedback to the author, but in all of my scribblings of communities/authors/websites for stories on my scratch pieces of paper, I can't find it again, and I would love to print this one out. Yeah, it's that kind of story: one I really wish I hadn't lost already.

Does this summary ring a bell for anyone else? Ron has recently returned to the ministry after recovering from being tortured when he was turned in by his former partner (who also happened to be blond, and was posing as a Muggle) and then Draco begins working with him; there was an incident where they're stuck briefly in an elevator and Draco freaks out; and the end is so very erotic. Ron's job at the Ministry is in encryption. It's just a brilliant story, and I'm doing a constant headdesk (mentally) for having lost the fic.

If anyone can guide me to it, I would be eternally grateful. I'll even write you a drabble if you can find it for me. :D
