Ha! Trickses! (as Gollum would say ... :-P) Yeah, didn't see that coming ...

Shirebound can be tricksssy, yes she can! :)

I didn't expect that at all. The mental image literally changed shape at the end. On a different note: Three of your stories aren't working. I can click the title, but get an error message, and there aren't any chapters listed for them. What went wrong? :(

Author's reply

Thank you for the review! I'm glad the 'misdirection' worked on this little tale. :) Thanks for letting me know about the 'missing chapters'. I uploaded three short story drafts to the site, but haven't 'published' them yet. I didn't know that they would show up on my public stories list! "In a Dusty Corner", "In the Company of Hobbits", and "The Lineage" are still works in progress, but I plan to finish and publish one of them this weekend as a birthday mathon.

You surprised me big time! That was great and I had no idea until the last. Such excellent writing and you didn't give anything away. : )

Author's reply

Thanks so much! I'm so glad this worked.

Wow! That was an unexpected twist, but a very clever one. I like it very much that Faramir Took has a brother named Boromir. So history repeats itself (with a little help from Pippin and Diamond)!

Author's reply

Thank you! Once I started musing over the idea that Pippin might name both his sons after the Stewards, it was fun to write a little teaser. :)

Oh, my! Amazing job... you got me started on one track and suddenly I was on another. Masterfully done. As long as you and your brother stand true... A good promise to remember.

Thank you so much! *beams* I love imagining the Shire safe in the hands and hearts of those who love it best.

Garnet Took · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 1

Dang it, that was supposed to say that I'd gobble them up like a hobbit eating second breakfast. How I missed that vital word, I have no idea.

Author's reply

Hobbits are indeed vital! *grins*

Garnet Took · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 1

You are a sneaky, clever hobbit. Until I saw the word "tweens" I was sure this was about the sons of Denethor. So, there is a Boromir in the Took family too, and he listens to his brother's dreams a lot like his namesake. You must write more about these two. Those are stories I'd gobble up like a eating second breakfast. :)

Author's reply

Thanks so much. I loves being sneaky, and am really glad you liked this. If I get an idea to write more about the young Tooks, I'll certainly pounce on it. :)

Larner · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 1

Oh, how wonderful the twist on this one! So, Diamond and Peregrin named their second son for Boromir? Delightful! And Faramir apparently dreamed of the King!

Author's reply

Thank you so much. I got to thinking that Pippin might have honored Boromir by naming a second (or even a first) son after him.

Antane · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 1

Whoa, that was a twist to what I was expecting. How sweet that now only was there a Faramir Took but a Boromir too! The Steward would be pleased to know that. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author's reply

Thanks, Antane. This was fun to write. :)
