cairistiona's place

This has been unveiled over at B2MeM, so here it is re-posted here as well. :)

Title: Bear It Still For Me A While
Author Name: cairistiona
Prompt: Spring Landscape (photo here)
Summary: The Standard-bearer’s thoughts turn homeward as he travels to war.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Themes of war, prophecy and death (much like Tolkien’s entire legendarium), though this is not a deathfic. Tissue alert.
Beta: Many thanks to my Betas Four: Inzilbeth, Suzll, Everleigh and Estelcontar
Author's Notes:  All characters and Arda itself belong to the good Professor. I only take them out to play. Denlad, Eledh, and Galadh are my OC Rangers who often appear in my stories. Title taken from the passage:
“And Aragorn said to Halbarad, ‘What is that that you bear, kinsman?’ For he saw that instead of a spear he bore a tall staff, as it were a standard, but it was close-furled in a black cloth bound about with many thongs.” The Passing of the Grey Company, The Return of the King, JRR Tolkien.
