Fics like Mortal Comforts

In the wake of Aragorn's supposed death on the way to Helm's Deep, Gimli and Legolas seek for comfort amidst their grief—and ultimately find it, as they ever do, in one another. Eventually Legolas said quietly, "Men go on." "Go on where?" "Beyond the circles of the world," Legolas said. "No one knows where; or at least, the elves do not. All we know is that they go, and they do not return." Gimli nodded. "They do not come back," he said, and understanding began to dawn. "No," said Legolas. "No, they do not." Another long, waiting silence fell; again, it was Legolas who broke it, asking very quietly, "Do dwarves?"
