A Pearl of Unexpected Price  by Regina 23 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 5 on 12/2/2012
That was what I feared might happen. Now--if Pippin will only keep quiet in front of Lalia! And it does appear that Pearl needs to follow Frodo's lead rather than leading him on!

Reason to be glad! But perhaps Merry's spying might lead to their undoing?

It does sound like a pleasant courtship, and one does need to watch what one says around small, precocious children such as Pippin.

Pippin sounds quite the handful already! Love the description of Pearl's new-learned skills, and Lilac sounds as lovely as Lalia is awful.

Poor Merry--stuck on Lalia detail! But he is hopefully strong enough to deal with her chair. Bless Esmie for rescuing poor Pearl.

I may have read this elsewhere, but look forward to reading it now.

I must have missed when you updated this one! I love it when people can seamlessly work in the opinions of other characters to a very well known scene. It gives the scene a new edge for when I read through it again :) You have done very well with this one - I especially liked Esmeralda's reaction. I never thought of how she might have felt about Bilbo's departure, but now I will.

Poor Frodo! I was always heartbroken for him when Bilbo left. This is a major turning point for him, and I know what the outcome is, but I am still interested in where you are taking this story. I really can't see what is going to happen next, so I'm anxious for the next chapter. Hope you update soon!

I came across this story yesterday, and practically zoomed through it. Whoa, what a story it is! I've never seen Frodo and Pearl paired up, but it is a good match and quite interesting. Why did Pearl have to be Lalia's favorite. That ruins everything for her and Frodo. Oh well, in the long run, it's for the better. I found chapter 11 *ahem* interesting indeed. It was sensual but emotional too. Very well written. I like this story, and I hope it gets continued soon.

Author Reply: Well, I'm planning on chaining my muse to my wrist now, so it should get updated sooner than before! :-) Glad you're enjoying it--it's been a challenging but fun story to write so far.

I can't tell you how happy I was to see you had updated this story! I was reading it on ff.net, but I'll certainly watch it on here from now on.

This chapter certainly was not what I expected (though I probably should have). You've managed to write this little adult scene so well. It had a touch of steam, but was not in any way smut. I really like the pairing of Frodo and Pearl. If Frodo was to have a chance with any lass, it may well have been Pearl.

I hope you'll update again soon. This is such an interesting story.

Author Reply: Thank you for the wonderful review. :-) It took me a while to strike the balance between steam & smut; hence the wait on posting. Am glad you like Pearl; she always seemed the likeliest match for Frodo to me as well. If only . . . ;p
