Another one of my 'scrubbed' stories from ff.net...

Disclaimer: These wonderful hobbits are not mine; they belong to the magnificent JRR Tolkien.

Small Summary: It is the wintry month of January (Afteryule), S.R. 1399. Paladin falls ill and the younger children are sent away to stay with relatives. Pippin is yet eight, Merry is sixteen, Sam is eighteen, and Frodo is thirty. Ever since I touched on Bilbo in MBD1, I’ve always wanted to explore the relationship between him and Pippin--and even with Frodo to a slighter extent. This story takes place a few months after MBD2.

I mainly write about my world of Pippin and Merry; I only hope I’ve done Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam justice for all of their fans. I tried my best to stay with how JRRT wrote their personalities. Enjoy.

*Spoiler Alert*  For all of you folks who have yet to read The Hobbit, I’ve posted spoiler alerts just before a couple paragraphs in Chapters Two and Five.
