Newt Has A Nightmare And Y/n Is The Only One Who Can Calm Him Down
Newt Has A Nightmare And Y/n Is the Only One Who Can Calm Him Down
*WARNING: Mentions of attempted su/c/de and depression!*
Y/n awoke to someone thrashing around next to her on the bed. She could hear him whimpering and crying out. Y/n knew who it was. She had heard him whimpering and crying out many times.
She turned on her side, and her heart jolted painfully as she noticed her best friend, Newt, thrashing around, his arms flailing in the air. Tears were streaming down his cheeks. Y/n's heart clenched painfully at the sight of her best friend having his frequent nightmares. No doubt they were about the day he fell. You were there for that. And God, he had no idea how terrified you were for him!
"Newt," you whispered frantically, grabbing onto one of his flailing arms. He accidentally smacked your chest with his arm, and you manage to grab onto him, keeping him still. "Shh. It's okay, love. You're not in the Maze. You're in the Glade. You're asleep." You continue to speak sweet nothings in his ear until he gradually calms down, though his breathing is still fast and shallow. He slowly opens his eyes to reveal glossed-over irises. He sniffled, and more tears began to stream down his cheeks once again.
You curl your index finger and gently stroke his tear-stained cheeks. With your other hand, you cradle the back of Newt's neck gently. You can see that he is beginning to calm down, but his eyes still held a haunted expression on his face.
"Shh," you whisper again. You pull him up by the arm and hug him to you, his body pressing against yours. He wraps his arms around your torso tightly, refusing to let go. You hum a little tune that you somehow managed to remember while running your fingers gently through his hair, feeling the soft caramel-golden locks through your fingertips. And it didn't take long for him to relax again, burying his face in your chest, curling up against your boy. You chuckled softly to yourself, realizing just how adorable he was. You feel arms wrap tightly around your torso, much more tightly than before. And you knew that you would never let go of this boy, no matter what happened.

Hi, I have a sort of specific request. Could you please write a Frodo Baggins x Hobbit!reader who wants nothing more than to go on an adventure and is childhood friends with Frodo because she loved Bilbo’s stories and none of the other children wanted to play with her because she was so un-hobbitish, then eventually found herself falling in love with Frodo and so when he leaves to go on his quest she is right there at his side, stubborn and extremely excited about it all. Not a hint of nervousness. Sort of being a constant for Frodo. I’d love that very much.
If not no worries. Thank you<3
hi, @dinofromspac3! tysm for requesting! i'ma give this a shot. sorry if the wait was longer, i went to the gym last night and didn't have time to write this. but here we go! hope ya like it :)!
Frodo and I have known each other for a long time. We've known each other since he moved in with his Uncle Bilbo after his parents drowned in some freak boating accident. The poor thing was so distraught for the first few months, and I didn't blame him. I'd often go over with some of his friends so that I could hear Mr. Bilbo's famous, un-Hobbitish adventures. His adventures made me want to go on my own adventure. A lot of Hobbit children thought I was queer as I wistfully dreamed about my own adventures, and didn't really speak to me. But I was okay with that. At least I had Merry, Pippin, Sam, and, of course, Frodo.
Eventually, Frodo asked me if I wanted to go out and pretend to have an adventure like his uncle once did. Of course, we never ventured anywhere outside the Shire. It was not our business to know what the folks from distant lands were up to. Most likely, wars. And adventures, now to think about that. Apparently, Hobbits were nonexistent to the Men, Elves, and Dwarves, and didn't even bother coming to invade the Shire because they knew nothing about it. We were grateful for that, at least. But at the same time, life got a little boring, since we had nothing to do.
Eventually, I found myself falling for Frodo. I didn't want to, but my thoughts were on no one else but him. He was probably the sweetest human being on this entire planet. And I didn't like him because of the large fortune he'd soon inherit from his uncle. The only person who knew I had a crush on the Baggins heir was Rosie Cotton, my friend from the Green Dragon.
When Frodo had gone home with Sam, I went along with them. And soon, Sam and I found ourselves eavesdropping on Frodo's and Gandalf's conversation about a once-lost ring that he was currently in possession of. And soon, we found ourselves going on this adventure, which made me even more nervous than before. Because I knew that what Frodo was carrying was dangerous. I was scared for him, and his life. But so far, everything seemed as normal as it could be. That is, until we reached Weathertop.
I never left his side during that time when he was mortally wounded. I was there at his side the entire time, letting him hold his hand in mine. When a she-elf came to whisk Frodo away to safety, Sam had to hold me back.
"I don't want to leave him!" I exclaimed through tears as I tried to yank myself out of Sam's grip. But his hold was too tight on my arms. I couldn't do anything except to watch as Frodo was whisked away from me.
"I think she's getting him to safety, Miss y/n," Sam tried to reassure me.
Although it did comfort me slightly, I was still nervous about the fact that I could possibly lose my best friend. If I went back to the Shire without him, life would be more dull and boring than it had been before. I wouldn't have a reason to live.
Luckily, Frodo had managed to survive, and I hardly left his side, no matter how tired he was. And when he woke up, I was there to greet him, relieved that he was alive and alright. I stayed by his side before Sam had to pull me away from him so that I could get some rest.
Soon after the council was over, and the Hobbits and I had joined, I could hear Merry and Pippin complaining quite loudly amongst themselves in the garden about mine and Frodo's friendship.
"All they've been doing is giving each other googly, heart-shaped eyes to each other for years. And I'm getting kinda sick of it," Merry complained to Pippin.
"They should be together by now. I'm tired of them standing at a distance and not saying anything."
"You know what, Pip. I'm thinking the exact same thing. They should have confessed their feelings to each other by now."
It took me a moment to realize that they were talking about me and Frodo. I blushed brightly, and pretended to not hear what Merry and Pippin were saying.
Great, they noticed?
I turned and tip-toed away before the duo found out I had been eavesdropping. But not even an hour later, Merry and Pippin found me in my room as I was reading a book I had found from Lord Elrond's large library.
"You could knock next time, ya know," I commented without bothering to look up. I kept my nose buried in the book. "It's not that hard."
The duo ignored me.
"Tell us, y/n," said Pippin. "Do you have a crush on Frodo?"
That got me to look up in surprise, but I quickly recovered, trying to shrug the feeling off.
"No. Why do you bother asking?"
"C'mon, y/n! For years, you've been giving him heart-shaped, lovey-dovey eyes and you never say anything about it! I'm getting a little sick of it." Merry complained
"It's because I'm scared, alright?" I snapped in return.
"C'mon. You shouldn't be scared of confessing, y/n. He likes you, too," Merry insisted.
"You're just saying that so that my hopes can get up," I grumbled as I continued to flip through the book I'd found.
"No! Y/n, we swear to the Valinor, that he likes you back!" Pippin pleaded. I glared at him, not entirely convinced that he was telling me the entire truth.
"And we think that we may know where to find him," Merry added, winking at me.
"It's nighttime. Frodo's probably in bed, and I'm not going to disturb him just to tell him that I like him."
"Oh, come on! You're no fun, y/n! Can you please just trust us? Just this once?"
I glared at them and then sighed, putting my book down.
"Alright, since you asked so nicely." That got both of the boys to cheer. "But don't think that I'll let you off that easily!"
I got up and followed them, letting the duo pull me along. Almost immediately, I regretted letting them do this to me. But at the same time, I knew that I had to confess to Frodo at some point, because I had no idea what our future holds. Any of us could die during this quest.
They led me to the courtyard. Not the same one we'd had the meeting in, but a completely different one.
"Isn't about time that everyone was in bed by now?" I asked, clearly confused.
"Well, not everyone," Merry hinted mysteriously. He then shoved me in the shoulders, trying to get me to go. "Well, go on."
I knew exactly what he was doing. But I sighed and entered the courtyard. There, sitting on the stone bench of Rivendell, was Frodo. He gazed up at the stars. He was so immersed in watching the stars that he jumped when I finally approached him.
"Y/n," he greeted. He patted the empty space next to him, giving me room to sit. "What brings you here?"
"Uh. . . . I dunno. Couldn't sleep, I guess," I quietly replied. "And I guess that I needed some fresh air."
That was partially true. I couldn't sleep, so I had gone ahead and read the book I'd found in Elrond's fancy library. I turned my gaze to the sky, watching the little pinpricks of light twinkling overhead.
"The stars look beautiful tonight," I finally commented.
"Not as beautiful as you," Frodo unexpectedly commented. I turned to stare at him in surprise. He then realized what he'd said, and his eyes went wide. "I-I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said that! Not this quickly, anyways —"
I only shook my head in reply, smiling softly. I pressed my lips firmly against his, kissing him softly. He tensed, at first, clearly surprised, before melting into the kiss. He wrapped his arms gently around my waist, bringing me closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting him close to me.
He bit my lower lip, asking politely for entrance. I giggled and granted his request. He explored my mouth, and I explored his. The feeling gave me butterflies. I never wanted this moment to end.
"Gross! Get a room, you two!" Pippin complained loudly. His voice caused us to break apart.
"Quit ruining the moment, you fool of a Took!" I retorted.
"You know what? I think we will get a room," Frodo hastily replied. "C'mon, y/n."
He grabbed my hand and led me to his room, where we snuggled together for the rest of the night.
***Whew! I hope that this was alright! Lemme know if you want any more changes :)!***
@frodo-cinnamon-roll and he's an adorable cinnamon roll too!
My statement after watching "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is:
Frodo is GORGEOUS.
Because I wanted to learn French at an early age and studied French in middle/early high school. Plus it is would be useful lol.
Reblog with your reasons, I'm very curious!

Three Year's Past
Imagine: It's the third-year anniversary of the anniversary of Weathertop, and the pain in Frodo's right shoulder, obviously, comes back, and the reader has to comfort him in any way she can.
Today was like any other day in the Shire. It's been almost four years since we saved Middle-Earth from further destruction from the once-mighty Sauron.
The entire Shire was quiet, like it usually was. I sat in my usual chair in the living room of Bag End. While Frodo and I aren't married, we're both really close friends. But recently, we've confessed our feelings to each other. He said that I am the reason why he'd delayed his voyage to the Undying Lands (aka the Valinor).
He said that I was his rock.
His support.
His lifeline.
It was quite quiet, until a sudden crash came from the room that Frodo and I shared. That immediately caught my attention, and I immediately realized, with a jolt in my stomach, that it was the third "anniversary" of the night on Weathertop when Frodo got stabbed by the Morgul Blade. It had been a really stressful time for all of us at the time. For me, especially. We were all desperate for Frodo to make it out alive when he got stabbed.
"FRODO!" I cried out in alarm. I set down my book, only to have it drop to the floor. I didn't bother putting it back on the chair. I was much more focused on getting to Frodo quickly than worrying about a simple book.
I reached the room the two of us shared, and immediately found Frodo tossing and turning in the bed. His eyes were squeezed and closed in pain, his body wrapped tightly in the bedsheets that we had, trying to prevent the cold from becoming too much. I hated to see him be in pain.
I stepped carefully over the broken glass cup that I'd set down for him last night when he had one of his gruesome nightmares, and I was at his side in an instant. I held his hand, preventing him from messing with his mostly-healed wound. Slowly, Frodo opened his eyes, which were full of pain. He relaxed slightly when he saw me.
"Frodo," I murmured softly as he stared up at me with his big blue eyes. I put my other free hand on his cheek as he struggled to breathe properly. I could tell that he was trying to focus on me. I held his hand tightly and he squeezed it back for support. "Focus on me, sweetheart," I tried to reassure him. "Focus on my face." He tried to focus on my face, but ended up giving another cry of pain. He squeezed his eyes shut, and whimpered with pain. A tear slid down his cheek and I gently wiped it away with a shaking hand.
"His blade," he managed to choke out. "I-I can feel his blade."
"Miss y/n?" said the sudden, concerned voice of Samwise Gamgee.
My ears pricked up whenever I heard Sam's voice.
"Sam?!" I said in a hopeful voice.
"Y/n? Where are you?!"
"In the bedroom, Samwise!" I shouted in reply. "I need you here for a second! It's urgent!"
Sam's hurried footsteps sounded across the hall and into the room. When his eyes fell on Frodo, his face immediately went pale. His eyes then went up to me.
"I'll get the Athelas plant that Aragorn sent with us. It won't take me long, I'll just need to boil the water with the Athelas quickly, and I'll bring it over here as soon as I can."
I nodded hastily.
"Alright, Sam. And can you bring me a washcloth as well?"
Sam nodded. "Of course, Miss y/n."
And with that, he took off. The entire time Sam was gone, I continued to comfort Frodo with the best of my abilities. I held his hand and ran my fingers softly through his hair, as he once admitted that this action made him relax. I often brushed my fingers gently through his soft brown curls whenever he felt stressed, when he felt sick, or when he had just woken up from a nightmare. His breathing shook as he took in each pained breath.
"Y/n. . . . y/n. . . .," he whimpered as he gripped my hand tightly again. He seemed almost delirious with pain. His blue eyes clouded over and his eyes rolled into the back of his head momentarily.
"Shh," I whispered in a soft voice. I got down on my knees and placed a hand gently on his cheek, stroking his cheekbone softly. I wiped away another stray tear that slid down his skin. "It's alright, sweetheart. I'm right here."
"Everything hurts." He squeezed his eyes shut tightly, to get rid of the pain.
"I know," I murmured, still trying to keep my voice soft. "Sam will be here with the Athelas plant soon. The Athelas should help soothe the pain."
A few minutes later, Sam came back with the bowl of Athelas-infused water, and a washcloth.
"Thank you, Sam," I said in a grateful voice as I took the bowl and the washcloth away from him.
"Of course, Miss y/n." He glanced anxiously at his best friend. "Call me if you need anything. I'll be here around the house."
I nodded and Sam walked out of the room.
"Okay, Frodo," I cooed in a soft voice. He glanced up at me with pain-filled, wide eyes. "I'm going to treat your wound. You can hold onto my hand if the pain becomes too much for you, alright?"
He nodded, whimpering slightly, and he managed to shift his body, wincing as he did. I unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt (without trying to feel embarrassed), grabbed the washcloth, dunked it in the boiling water, and gently placed it on his wound, gently massaging it. He winced but managed to keep himself calm. I could soon see the look of relief washing over his face as the Athelas plant began to get into effect, and he relaxed a little bit, much to my relief.
Once I could see that he was no longer in any pain, I put away the bowl and the washcloth and climbed into the bed that we shared. In an instant, Frodo snuggled up to me, resting his head gently on my chest, and an arm around my waist. I returned the same favor by wrapping a gentle arm protectively around his waist, bringing him closer to my side to keep him safe. I smiled softly to myself, getting rather comfortable. I began to drift off to sleep again before I heard Frodo's sleepy voice speaking.
"Thank you, y/n."
I chuckled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead. He responded by snuggling further into me.
"You're welcome, sweetheart," I cooed softly. I ran my fingers through his hair, comforting him with the best of my ability. "Anything to make my sweet hobbit feel better. I will do anything to protect you, and to keep you safe. I promise."
like, fr! and in the fellowship, too! but that's probably just me tho, lol.
