Hi Tree. No, I'm not losing interest in your story by any means, I've just been so busy lately. I'm trying to catch up on things now, before RL gets really busy again, which it definiately will.

Poor Frodo's still pretty sick, isn't he? But, the most important thing is that his mind in back to normal. What a relief! I hope he wakes up soon. I hope your next update comes soon too, and I'll try to review it earlier. :)

Author Reply: I am sooooo sorry it's taken me so long to get back to your lovely review. RL has been a &*^$% and I am trying to update the story but finding other things keep diverting my attentions. *sigh* Fro is still fairly sick, he would probably have died were it not for the magic in the air and from the keyboard (lol) Bear with me on the updates...I have the next chapter half way there, just need to grab a few moments to polish it off. Thanks, as always, for reviewing.

Aww! Finally, some much needed TLC! Was Saruman so worn out that he couldn't influence Frodo anymore?

Just because there aren't many reviews doesn't mean that noone is reading. Sometimes we just don't know what to say!

Author Reply: Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thanks so much for reviewing. You were right on about Saruman. He allowed himself a moment of rest and in that moment aid came to our boy....

I was just feelin' sorry for myself about the reviews the other day, don't take me too seriously. I actually enjoy writing the stories the most and the reviews are just cream, it's just nice to hear from readers once in awhile, is all. So thank you for letting me hear from you!!!! lol

YAY! Frodo's finally come to his senses! Enough of the hurt, now it's time for some major comforting. :D

Author Reply: Yep, It's time for this boy to show what he's made of. There will be some small relapses, but all in all, he's on the mend. Glad you're enjoying it so much. tree

I've never left reviews for you before, but I've truly enjoyed all your stories (Smoke and Mirrors is my very favorite). I was hesitant about this one at first, but you have taken us right into a wonderful story. You have a great ability to control all the characters so that everybody has something to do, even while focusing on a few central ones. I can just see them all bustling around to care for Frodo. I know you wont be letting him off with some miracle recovery, so I eagerly anticipate the next chapters.

Author Reply: Alex, thank you so much for letting me know you're out there. So often I wonder if anyone is actually reading my stories. Smoke and Mirrors was my first fic and I love it as well. One day I was skimming over some of my old spiral bounds (that's how I write) and got involved in the story as if it were written by someone else. I was absolutely lost in it and I know that sounds a bit egotistical but I thought, Wow this is good. So very happy you think so too. Keep reading my fics...I promise to try and create moments of escapism in every one. Thanks again for reviewing.

I love this story! Can't wait to see what will happen next, maybe Saruman will atck someone else for all I know. Hope not. The Fellowship is having hard of a time as it is with their Ringbearer. :D

Author Reply: How wonderful of you to say so! Things will start to get a little better for not only our beloved Frodo but for our Fellowship as well. Just wait and see what I have planned for Saruman. heheheheheheh

Oooh, what a lovely, healing chapter! I'm so relieved that Frodo's recovering. I adore these passages the most:

"Aragorn..." he whispered, not in fear, as before, but in thankfulness and trust.

Merry and Pippin looked at each other then over at their cousin, each having a very hard time imagining Frodo, at the moment, doing any kind of dance, then back at Sam, wondering if the gardener had been into Aragorn's powders.

And now he was here, wherever here was. He cared not. He only knew he felt surrounded on all sides by soothing murmurs, warm touches and the tender embrace of love and hope.

*sigh*

Author Reply: It was written just for you my friend. Honestly, in large part...it was. I'm finally getting to know when I've pushed you too far and it's time for some serious comfort. ;D Glad you liked the bit with Merry and Pippin. I believe you simply HAVE to interject a note of humor or the story becomes such a downer, and I could just picture Pippin thinking, curiously, about all of Aragorn's healing powders and although Sam would most assuredly never get into them, how much HE would want to. One that last paragraph...have you ever noticed that when you had a fever as a child that the soft sounds of your mom as she took care of you, brought you such comfort and reasurrence?

Thanks so much for reading and enjoying....hopefully Labyrinth will be up soon...I have to work this weekend, but will try to write if it's not too busy. Cheers and love to you, tree
