| O thank you so much for directing me to this one here! I somehow find reading at SoA (maybe the slightly-green-grey background?) easier than at LJ, less strain on the eyes. I am guardian of the Secret Fire, and release it only at need. But the more I learn of hobbits, the more I wonder if it is not they over whom I am truly guardian. Perhaps it is the Shire dwellers that possess the greatest and most secret fire -- the unquenchable spirit within them. Ah, Gandalf. Of course you are numbered among the Wise, and someday to be the head of your Order, though it would seem you don't have an inkling of that happening, at least. And Gandalf, watching over Frodo (and Bilbo) with such loving care... And Bilbo's obvious affection and love for Frodo (and his recognition that Frodo's regard for him is not grounded in material wealth or treasure)... Wonderful. Oh, and Samwise, there on the spot with a blanket, and help, and carvings... a foreshadowing of his care and loyalty to come. Lovely! Thank you again for this respite today. Author Reply: Thank you for such lovely comments! I'm glad to be reminded of this story, which I enjoyed writing very much. Comfort and friendships, and Gandalf's ever-growing revelations about hobbits... they make me bounce. I appreciate your review so much, my friend. | |

| I just read this, and got such a kick out of it! I used to walk on my dad's back all the time when I was a kid. I think he regrets that I'm not nearly so small and light these days. Now I'll always think back on those times as my practicing hobbit-craft. :) Author Reply: I used to walk on my dad's back, too! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I always love exploring "the lighter side" of Middle-earth. | |

| Yep, there is nothing quite like it. :-) And yep, of course Arwen would be good at it ... Author Reply: It's such a pleasure when the hobbits can help Aragorn for a change. | |

| Migli! for some reason, that was the funniest to me, followed by 'I can't see my lips' ... :-P Author Reply: This was such a hoot to write! I'm glad it gave you a giggle. Good ol' Migli. | |

| I'll try to endure the banana bread, and banana pudding, and banana shakes, and... *sighs heavily* If I have to... Yep. I want banana bread now... :-) Author Reply: *grins* I love introducing Frodo to new foods. | |

| Aww, how sweet! I love kitties--puppies, too!=) I also love how Frodo persuaded Sam to rest beside him in bed when he saw how tired Sam was. Please, would you post the URL to Mew's story, the prequel to this one? I should like to read it! Author Reply: Thank you, Kathy! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Email me, and I'll send you a copy of Mews's story. I don't believe it's posted anywhere except her Livejournal. shirebound1 (at) gmail.com | |
