!! This fanfic includes examples of the following tropes:
* AllJustADream: Part of the fanfic is Frodo's poison-induced nightmare.
* AndIMustScream: At one point, Frodo awakens as Sam is begging him to wake up. He is conscious but helpless to move or to reassure Sam that he's alive.
* TheCorruption: One of Frodo's fears is that the Ring might have gotten to Sam.
* DeathWail: Frodo screams when he discovers Sam's body during his nightmare.
* DefiantCaptive: Frodo tries to withhold information about his homeland and identity, and when the orcs mention Sam, Frodo clams up entirely for fear of betraying him. He also retorts to the orcs threatening him that Sauron won't be happy if he's killed just yet.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: {{Lampshaded}}. Frodo is astonished when Sam tells him about his battle with Shelob, and he's even more astonished that Sam does not seem to acknowledge how spectacular it was.
* DramaticDrop: Frodo drops Sting as Shelob jabs him with her stinger.
* ForgetsToEat: Sam, just like in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings canon]] forgets food and water while searching for his master.
* ImNotAHeroIm: Sam tells Frodo about his fight with Shelob very matter-of-factly and he is surprised by how his master keeps harping on it.
* ManHug: Frodo and Sam hug each other.
* NightmareDreams: Frodo has a nightmare about finding out that he murdered Sam when Sam offered to share the Ring.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Sam, as in canon, begs Frodo, "Don't go where I can't follow." Frodo, conscious but immobile, tries calling to Sam to "come back."
* PleaseWakeUp: In his nightmare, Frodo shakes Sam's body and begs him to wake up.
* TalkingToTheDead: In his nightmare, Frodo tells Sam that he is "so sorry."
* ATasteOfTheLash: Frodo gets whipped by a tower orc if he so much as moves around.
* WhatHaveIDone?: Frodo has two of these. One happens during a dream sequence when he discovers that he killed Sam in a fit of Ring-jealousy. The other happens when he lashes out at Sam in Cirith Ungol and realizes how close he came to fulfilling the nightmare.
