Well, you know how I liked the angst in this chapter... I think it helps to clearly show us just why Frodo is so traumatized. Anything less, and I might wonder why he wanted to die in earlier chapters. And wow---you do a gut-wrenching job with the Orcs and with the torture. Thank GOODNESS that Frodo is given such love and tender care and such in this fic to help him over it.

Wonderful job, Tree... I'm fonder of this fic than I can get across in writing.

Evil!! I can't believe you would leave us hanging there like that. It's like you're favorite show is on the telly, and then it stops at a good part and makes you wait a bloody week! ;-P Ah well. C'est la vie eh? lol. Well, I just want you to continue as soon as humanly possible! I love this story and will follow it through to the end! Once again, lovely writing style and plot. You're an excellent writer!! :-D See you next chapter then luv? hehehe. Toodles.

I love the way you are unfolding this healing so slowly. And I think that the comfort of massage and Merry sharing will help with that a lot. Frodo needs to know that whatever he tells his friend will not shock them too much and turn them away from him as "soiled goods".

Author Reply: Thanks so much, I was a little worried that I'd gone too far for this site or Frodohealers with the torture. I needed to show just how horrible it really had been for our dear boy. Im hoping to continue soon, but have a few other things I need to take care of in RL just now, thanks so much for your review tree

The interaction between Frodo and his friends is so touching. Poor Frodo - he honestly believes he is sparing his friends grief.

Author Reply: Im hoping we can make him see just how much he is loved by these people. Frodo holds too much inside and Id like to try and get him to share his worries and concerns with his family and friends a bit. So glad you are enjoying it tree
