A Visit with a Dragon  by Antane 7 Review(s)
Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/26/2007
Aaaaaawwwwww! Little Frodo is sooooooo sweeeeeet! :D

I love how he woke his parents and...everything! His solemnity about the shell, and about the stone and the adventure. Bilbo was spot-on, too! LOL I always love your Bilbo, pretending to be scandalized at the thought of Frodo giving himself a present on his own birthday, and the tale of the dragon (very, *very* Bilbo!) and everything. Little Frodo is indeed a heart-grabber! (I should know. :)) Thank you so much, Antane, for a truly delightful fluffy read that has me still trying to keep from laughing so I can type this. :)
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Isn't he? :) And hantanyel for liking Bilbo too. He's getting up there chronologically but he sheds decades with Frodo. The two of them were very good for each other, weren't they?

Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Antane :)

*squeals in delight* This is all the wee hobbity cuteness I could possibly want! I loved how you wrote Frodo and the relationship he had with his family, from teasing Drogo, to warm and loving Primula, to "serious" Bilbo.

YES!!! Beorn the bear makes another guest appearance!! (Beorn is getting his own series of tales that I really need to start working on again & start posting)

You captured Frodo's sweet child innocence so very well here, and the adults' response to it as well ... especially when Bilbo kept remarking that Frodo had heard this tale before. Very cute dragon too, I might add.

And yet, there was a small element of the bittersweet as well: "Thank you, Mama." Frodo beamed and it was sunlight poured straight into her heart. He was going to break many hearts when he grew older and make one lass very, very happy. ........

.... there are many adventures ahead of you, I’m sure."

Frodo beamed at the thought. "I hope you can come on all of them, Uncle! And Mama and Papa, you have to come too!"

"We shall, sweetling," Primula promised with a smile.


For we all know that Frodo will never marry, nor shall his parents ever see him grow up. :(

I also like how you handled the part with Lord Ulmo. Frodo's I'll learn faster was too adorable. I guess for now he'll have to settle for his uncle to read to him from the Elvish books sent from Rivendell.

Wonderful job, Antane! I enjoyed every bit of this!

p.s. hmmm, I wonder what would happen the next day at the birthday party if 11-year old cousin Lotho somehow got his hands on either Frodo's shell or green jewel? Hmmm ..... :D

Author Reply: Lotho? Ick. Don't know if I could manage that but I have certainly left the door open for this tale to continue. We shall see...

So glad you enjoyed and who said that somehow Drogo and Primula weren't aware of their son's journey through life? From heaven they would have been but heaven wasn't open yet to us. Hmmm...

I thought that I'll learn faster was cute too. Hantanyel for all the ideas!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Fluff, but good fluff; and I love Bilbo's assertions that young Frodo MUST have heard it all before! Bless him anyway!

Author Reply: You mean there's bad fluff? :) Bless them all! Hantanyel for enjoying, dear Larner.

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Aw sweet!
and such good parenting by all three of them.

Author Reply: Hantanyel, dear harrowcat. Sorry it didn't solve what happened to the stone but maybe that's coming.

Namarie, God bless, Antane

This is a wonderful, sweet, loving story, and I just smiled my way through the whole thing. I especially love, Frodo beamed and it was sunlight poured straight into her heart. What a very special child, loved by such very special people. And I enjoyed the storytelling as much as Frodo did!

Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear - glad you enjoyed! I always love it when you read my tales!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Wonderful wee Frodo fluff -- and you do a darned good Bilbo too! I hope you will show us what happened when they went looking for elves....

Author Reply: Well, thank you very much! As to what will happen next, we shall see...

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Does the word "cute" ever come to mind? lol Once more a lovely depiction of child-Frodo and doting, roguish Uncle Bilbo;);)

~~~{~@

Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! How about way beyond cute? Frodo was never just cute was he?

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
