Somehow i'm only just now getting around to reading the books

I started reading Lord of The Rings a little while ago and I think I love Sam even more in the books. He's so sweet in the scene where he finds out about the ring. It's too much for my heart :'). He literally bursts into tears when Gandalf tells him that he can come with.
Some of my fave Sam bits from this scene for your consideration:

I will fill the Ryan/James tag all by myself if i have to

I've been working on writing a Wilfred (US) fanfic about Ryan and his ex best friend from law school, James. I'm honestly really surprised that nobody has shipped them before. I'm basically writing it because I went to Ao3 and was disappointed that their weren't already fics about them for me to read. It's weird how almost non existent the fandom is for this show.

Just putting it out there, but i'd love to have somebody to give me a second opinion on the choices I've made with characterisation and filling in the gaps of their past. If you're interested and you're familiar with the show/characters, send me a message.
