I have come across your beautiful series quite by accident, and I have had the good fortune to spend my evening lost in it. Your vision is enchanting, filled with love and tenderness. Your presentation and characterization are flawless. You have moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Author Reply: Oh Chani, thank you! What a lovely review, and I'm so very happy you enjoyed this story.

I am very particular about fan-fiction. When the Mithril Awards came out last year, one of my favorites, "The Last Grey Ship" was a winner, and I took the time to read a couple of the other prize winners. One of those was from Mushrooms, by Baylor. I added her site to my list of fan-fic sites.

Last week, in one of her newer stories, she made reference to this story, and now I have another favorite author to read. This was so lovely and cozy. I will now try the authors you referenced and I may never again vacum the living room for sitting at my computer reading!

I am not a writer, but I do love to read. Thank you for sharing your gift.

I'm sat here with my friend and fellow author, squealing over the utter adorability of this story. Literally. (And if 'adorability' isn't a word, it should be, as it applies perfectly to this story). 20 chapters of undeniable AWWWW factor. We're both sat here, melted into a puddle of sappy goo, occasionally emitting high-pitched squeaks. Thank you so much! Namarië!

Author Reply: Wow, thanks! This story evolved waaaay beyond my original idea, but I never dreamed it would melt folks into puddles! (If you want more of this 'universe', the two sequels (so far) are "Reflections of the Past" and "By Chance or Purpose"). Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed this story.

this story is the best! i really like the way all of the characters are portrayed, particularly frodo and aragorn. welldine!

Author Reply: Thank you, Elly! I had such a wonderful time writing this story, and now I'm deep into the *second* sequel ("Reflections of the Past"). I've really fallen in love with the sweet Frodo-Aragorn relationship. Glad you liked it!

That was a beautiful story -- a welcome glimpse of Frodo as a lad, insights into how dearly Frodo and Bilbo loved one another, and a stronger motivation for Aragorn to work to protect the Shire from the things that stalked the wild...

Author Reply: Thank you, FyrDrakken! I enjoyed writing "Quarantined" very much, and it was such a joy to explore an early Frodo-Aragorn friendship, and Frodo's early life with Bilbo. (If you want more, feel free to check out the sequel, "By Chance or Purpose".) Your kind words are appreciated!
