rabidsamfan · 2 July 2006 · Chapter 6: Shards of Memory

Oooh, this is coming along very nicely. Sam's all right (except for the shock) and getting lovely comfort from his Dad, which you know turned me to goo. And what a very *interesting* complication you've come up with for Aragorn! *props chin on hand and waits for more*

SurgicalSteel · 25 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Oh, poor Frodo, stitches with no local! That's bound to have hurt. Wondering how Aragon's doing at this point...

Linda Hoyland · 25 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Poor Frodo,he sounds to be in a lot of pain,but it is so swet he worries about Aragorn too,as do I. Scamp is such a good dog !

Lily Baggins · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Eeeeeeeee, Frodo waking to having his arm stitched!!!! I like it, like it a LOT. And he's the cutest thing---so anxious to see Estel that he's wanting to jump out of bed already. Not to mention checking to see that he's got his breeches on. :) I love little details like that. What lovely, lovely TLC. Knowing Frodo, he's going to soon be a devil to take care of... though he does have Scamp, and that's good therapy. And of course, I'm joining the other readers in worriting about Aragorn, you know... though I do NOT hope he responds quickly and positively to treatment. ;D Let him suffer a bit and feel wretched for a while, is my motto... awful, ain't I? Nevertheless, true, TRUE Aragorn comfort (meaning: TLC after an injury, as opposed to mindless torture and little TLC after) is a rare thing in fanfic land. Very rare... and to know you, a Queen of doling the comfort out, have Aragorn injured and woozy in the room just down the hall is a heady thing to ponder. :) Cannot WAIT for the next chapter!!!!!!!!!

Lily Baggins · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 4: A Small Complication

Ooo, I had of course been privileged to see part of this earlier, but reading the entire chapter at once... perfect. I honestly am completely elated at the idea of Aragorn possibly suffering amnesia of some type... which it seems is the case! On to the next chapter...

Tigger · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

I have a feeling Halbarad might need more than just a little convincing to leave Bag End for the meeting. Glad to see Frodo get tended to and comforted. Now...How about Aragorn? Hmmm? Why do I have this really bad feeling he's worse off than Frodo. Even though it seems Frodo got the worst of things physically? Hmmm? Hurry up Shirebound...It really wasn't nice of you to keep the Aragorn h/c for the next chapter you know? Especially after that "Captain..." comment he made to Halbarad when Aragorn woke for that instant. Not nice at *all*!! ;o) So, type my friend. Type, type, type!!! :oD Really enjoying the story. So far that is. :o)

Antane · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Good to see that he's on the mend! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

lbilover · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Oh, the Frodo comfort has started. *sigh of relief* Frodo is so dear, immediately worrying about everyone else. I do love this part so much: “My goodness, Frodo lad,” Bilbo chuckled, “the mischief you and Estel get into every time he visits! Most unnatural for a hobbit, you know.” Bilbo kept talking, and watched with relief as Frodo slowly relaxed. The affectionate teasing that Frodo so loved was the best medicine Bilbo could think to offer. “There must be more Took blood in you than we thought. And what will young Samwise think, witnessing all these adventures and misdeeds?” “You’re the adventurous one, Bilbo.” “Nonsense. What an idea! Why if you ask me, it was all Gandalf’s fault in the first place. When he...” Bilbo's teasing is the best medicine for Frodo. Now I'm anxious to find out what has happened to Estel!

Andrea · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Frodo was distracted for a moment. “Sam, don’t forget that Scamp needs to eat more. She should go outside for a bit later, and... we have to...” He's quickly recovering, it seems! And such a brave lad! If I woke up to find a healer sewing a wound on my arm, ... oh my, I better stop thinking about it ;-) To put scamp near to Frodo was a splendid idea. It's not only helping Frodo, but apparently also the little dog. And now to the brave ranger! I like the adjective Baggins Babe used in her review, "confoozled". It's very fitting. But I wonder, if it is a real word or a word creation. Do you know?

Baggins Babe · 24 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Awww! Frodo's recovering it seems - and Scamp is there to watch her master. She and Sam are two of a kind. Now we need to go down the passage and into Aragorn's room. Hope he's alright and only temporarily confoozled. Lovely to see an update - can't wait for more.

Larner · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Rest indeed is what Frodo needs. And he's responding fairly quickly and positively to the treatment he's being given. As long as Aragorn follows suit....

Larner · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 4: A Small Complication

Frodo's being well taken care of, and now Aragorn is waking with a word that confuses his cousin. Hmmm. Glad Scamp is able to keep Sam busy.

cookiefleck · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Have been enjoying your story a lot. Still worrying about Sam although he's supposedly okay. :o) Thanks for a great read.

Larner · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 3: Taking Charge

Finally getting back online and am able to review. Excellently done descriptions of the aftermath, and so love how Gilly has taken over so efficiently. And poor Bilbo--can't stand to see his lad hurt! Lovely!

harrowcat · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Crumbs, Shirebound, I think that was the quickest response to a review that I have ever had. Glad to see that all you other reviewers are equally worried about our favourite Ranger(s)! And thanks too for the reassurance about Scamp! Each week I go home to visit my parents but get very homesick the rest of the week for the dog who officially belongs to my Dad! I hate driving away and leaving him but he is better off in leafy Warwickshire than London.

Elflingimp · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Hey I wanted to see how Estel was doing! I hope hes okay sounds like something is wrong.(now I will worry until you update :)) I like the way good ole Sam is taking care of everything he is so sweet ,I just want to squeeze him! Anyway Please update soon Great Chapter

harrowcat · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

So, devious Shirebound, you still keep us in suspense about Estel! But glad to hear that Frodo is going to be all right - eventually. I just hope that he doesn't sleep through Scamp having her pups. She needs him.

Amy · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Oh, my, building the suspense here. *shivers with delight* Blankies, puppy, best friend, gentle healer: Frodo's going to be better v. soon. And he has all of his faculties, but Estel . . . Rangers next time? *looks hopefully at author*

cpsings4him · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

MMMMMM!!!! Yummy, yummy, yummy Frodo healing...Shirebound style! I love that Bilbo, Gilly, Sam and the rest of the gang seem to know that the best thing they can do for Frodo is remain calm and not panic. Great chapter! :D

Pearl Took · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Well, we have got Frodo all tended to, now to see to that Ranger fella ;) Scamp is such a sweet little dog :)

Elwen · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Awwwwwwwww. So much lovely comfort for Frodo. I hope Estel gets similar treatment.

SlightlyTookish · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

Nice, sweet hobbit h/c....now it's time for some Aragorn-comfort! We don't want him to feel neglected, you know. *grin*

Lindelea · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

The affectionate teasing that Frodo so loved was the best medicine Bilbo could think to offer. “There must be more Took blood in you than we thought. And what will young Samwise think, witnessing all these adventures and misdeeds?” He has *no* idea! ...but I want to know what's happening with Estel, too! And next week I'll have some reading time, if all goes well. Hooray! (Don't know if you'll post again that soon, but if you do I'll be ready to jump on it.)

EllyBaggins · 23 June 2006 · Chapter 5: Assessing Hurts

yay another chapter! well frodo doesn't seem TOO badly hurt! and of course the comfort was very satisfying! still worried about my ranger though...will he get his share of fluff next chapter?

Baggins Babe · 19 June 2006 · Chapter 4: A Small Complication

Meant to review this before and was sidetracked by RL! I'm hoping Aragorn is just a little fuddled and doesn't have full-blown amnesia. This is one of your stories after all. I'm sure some coddling and fuss from lots of adorable hobbits will do the trick. Poor Scamp - and poor Sam. Eeek! And poor Frodo too! I'd better get back to Bag End - Gilly needs help!
