Here I am again... Nice touch--the part of the ring abandoning Frodo when Bill threw him. I have a question for you, but I'll ask it later.

I love this passage especially this line from Gandalf:

"Observe what is possible, Frodo Baggins. A Dwarf and an Elf become friends. The future stewards of the Shire and Gondor meet and form an alliance. The Heir of Isildur emerges from exile." He smiled. "A gentle gardener defends his master with body and sword; and hobbits from the Shire undertake a task which even the Wise dare not attempt." He turned to look at Frodo. "Who is to say what can or cannot be achieved?"

"You forgot the wizard," said Frodo, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Oh? What about him?"

"A mighty wizard toils to cut a walking stick for an injured halfling because he won't permit anyone else to touch his own staff again, ever."

Gandalf chuckled. "You are a most impertinent hobbit."

Shirebound, you're such an amazing writer... i've been skimming your stories and decided to read this one because I haven't read a hurt/comfort story for a while, and I have indeed chosen a good one =) i've been reading this non-stop.. hehe it's like a drug... your characterizations and descriptions and your plot go so well. I love your dialogue and I love how each character is portrayed... you are so amazing...

i have to leave a review for the completion of your story "By Chance and Purpose" too but i must tell you how much this story exceeded all my expectations and that you are one fine fanfic writer.

I've not finished this story yet, but i cannot wait to reach ch. 19! :-)

Great job!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! This chapter was originally meant to be "The End", but somehow two more chapters emerged! I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know you enjoyed "Avalanche" -- I was amazed at how this story evolved, and I had a wonderful time writing it.
