Shirebound!

Love the weaving of the history of the years preceding the Ring War weaving through the story. Wonderfully done. Frodo's reason for remembering Estel, because it was close to Estella had me snorting. Lucky I hadn't taken a sip of coffee just before!

Shirebound!

Awwwww!I love your recounting of when Bilbo asking Frodo if he would like to be adopted and to live with Bilbo! *happy tears* I love it!

And also in the earlier chapter when Frodo is protecting Bilbo from Gollum! Heartbreaking!

"What love can do..." I flashed I guess forward to when Frodo is crawling to Mt. Doom and then Sam picks him up! All the feels! :-))

Shirebound!!!

I love this part. Aragorn discovering his ability into another's mind like he with Faramir in the Houses of Healing in ROTK. Love it!! Also the use of Sindarin!! Nicely done!!

Shirebound!

I am only reading now after you reviewed "All else can wait" I was trying to the Rohirrim story you wrote about until this caught my eye.

Lovely first chapter!! I can just hear Ian McKellen's voice in Gandalf's words. Onwards!

What a fun story! I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the follow-ups. More little Frodo and Sam fun to come, hopefully! :-)

Author Reply: Hobbity fun is my favorite thing. I never dreamed that "Quarantined" would spawn so many sequels! Thank you so much for your reviews, and I hope you continue to enjoy the tales. :)

So it's not embarrassing enough that he got stuck in a pond and had to be rescued by hobbits (and only one adult hobbit, at that), but Gandalf caught him at it ... heehee ... :-) He'll never live this down (but he will live, which is I suppose the point in the end) ...

What about elevenses? Lunch? Afternoon tea? He knows about those, right?
;-)

Author Reply: Those are all very important indeed! :)

Yes, but that's partially the key -- there are a *lot* of them in Buckland. It's harder to give individual attention when there are so many running around. Easier for Bilbo, who's on his own with no one else to look after ...

What a fun little get-together. And only in LOTR can a child -- pardon me, tweenager -- give a pipe as a gift. :-) I was so happy that the movies didn't strip all the pipes and smoking out -- it's such an integral background piece of ME, and of hobbits in particular ...

Author Reply: I'm happy you're enjoying Quarantined. This was a very special story for me.

Aww ... little Samwise. :-)
