Hey! No fair making me drool; I love strawberry pie! I'll have to figure out a way to order a pie from Rosie. =) LOL! Seriously, though, this is indeed good news, isn't it? If only Frodo could have remained the Gamgee children's Uncle Frodo for the rest of his life!

Kaylee Arafinwiel · 24 January 2021 · Chapter 63: Memory and Sorrow
O my dearest Dreamflower, thank you for sending me back to this ficlet! I can't recall if I reviewed it before - I hope I have, but if not, I am now. Dear, dear Sam, and all the family, what a disaster - I'm so sorry for Sam, Marigold, and all their sibs, but oh, the Gaffer must feel as though he's had half his heart ripped out! This explains why he would give over being gardener with Sam still so young. The work would be hard for him, shaken as he was, and it would give Sam something to steady him and focus his mind, plus more time with his beloved Master Frodo. I can't recall what 'apoplexy' is - a stroke? I hope Bell's death was, at least, painless for her. Also, how good of Bilbo to ensure the Gaffer and Bell's older sons would know sooner rather than later! Aunt Dora would approve!! (How is Aunt Dora, by the way?) Hugs, Kaylee
KathyG · 20 September 2017 · Chapter 69: Five Things That NEVER Happened to Bilbo Baggins...
Here's another scenario that never happened! As we all know, Bilbo is part Baggins and part Took, and that's why Gandalf chose him. What if the Adventure occurred 77 years later (when the Quest itself took place), and Pippin himself were to go on the Adventure as the Burglar? After all, he's as Tookish as they come! =) (Of course, Merry would insist on going with him, so at least he wouldn't be alone among all those Dawrves as poor Bilbo was.)
KathyG · 4 October 2014 · Chapter 16: A Gift for Frodo
LOL! I'm not the only one who's watched "Timmy and Lassie" (or its predecessor, "Jeff's Collie"). This is so cute! Wonder how Frodo knew that the collie's name was Lassie? =)
KathyG · 14 August 2014 · Chapter 7: Sam's Mistake
"I have a few Sam h/c, mostly because of requests from the remarkable Rabidsamfan." LOL! Rabidsamfan's not the only one--I love Sam H/C stories, too! Thanks for writing this one.
Lily Baggins · 24 September 2013 · Chapter 96: Comfort Between Friends
Oh, this is DARLING! Just what my old blue soul needed. Absolutely precious... thank you for linking to it. :)

Glad you enjoyed it! Since it was Legolas instead of Aragorn, I wasn't sure you'd like it!
Larner · 12 February 2013 · Chapter 36: A Thorny Problem
Nice to see Pippin at his best and most constructive, and love the bits about Lobelia and Lotho. I, too, would have paid good money to see Frodo bloody Lotho's nose! Heh! Been a while since I read this.
Robbie · 1 October 2012 · Chapter 93: Sam in the Middle
That's so sweet! I love you hobbit stories. Since about a week or so I'm working my way through your stories and I'm astonished how well you capture the tenderness and belonging between the hobbits as well as the workings of their society. Through you work I found a whole new appreciation of Pippin, not that I didn't like him before, but he feels more of a "whole" person now. But I especially love Sam-stories. How he finds his place in the group of travellers (instead of below it) is just too touching. Thank you!
Author's reply
Why, thank you very much, Robbie! It is always good to find a new friend, and someone who likes my stories. And it's always very nice to see a new review for an older story! I try very hard to figure out who the hobbits are. I like to take the clues we are given in the books about their personalities and work out how they became the persons they were in the story. I have always loved the friendship and loyalty and love between the four, so it is my delight to try and flesh it out a little, filling in the gaps that JRRT left for us. I'm very pleased to meet you!

What a lovely AU!! I adore this idea! The songs are wonderful, too =) Kaylee!
Author's reply
It's always fun to play in my Eucatastrophe Universe! And I love to write Yule songs for the hobbits!
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 11: Wedding Night
Tender and sweet - and I love the pun!! Kaylee
Author's reply
Thank you! I was going for "tender and sweet" so I'm glad that it came out that way for you!
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 10: Yule in Hollin
This is a lovely Yule tale, Dreamflower! The handkerchiefs made me laugh, too! Kaylee
Author's reply
Thanks! I've written a few versions of their Quest Yule, LOL! But this is the one I think of as "the one".
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 86: Brandy Hall on First Yule, S.R. 1388
It seems an enjoyable First Yule was had by all! *grin* I love all the song title references!! Kaylee
Author's reply
It was certainly a fun challenge to see how many songs I could fit in and still have it sound kind of natural!
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 58: Waiting for Bilbo
Okay, this made me feel better. =) It's certainly happier than the last one!! *hugs little Merry* I wish I could have a white Yule! Kaylee
Author's reply
It is a happy little story! I love to write about little Merry and young Frodo when they both lived at Brandy Hall!
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 1: Brandy Hall, Hearthside at Yule, S.R. 1349
Oh, I do love this! It's nice to see the age difference between the young hobbits...I do tend to forget how much younger Saradoc was! Kaylee
Author's reply
Yes, Saradoc was a few years younger than Esmeralda!
