Oh, dear--the vigilance relaxed but for a moment....

Author Reply: Oh dear indeed - that's all it takes for the Enemy to pounce.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Loved the difficulties in leaving Frodo hobbitless.
You build up the tension so well in that last paragraph!

Author Reply: Thank you, my dear! I do love cliffhangers! :) And hearing from you!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Surprise, surprise...guess who? :) Am I still welcome after my disgraceful absence? :D

This story deserves its MEFA nomination, and I don't say that lightly because I don't read much fanfiction these days. It really does, though. I grinned through most of the first part of this story...bar the letter, of course, though even that created anticipation because I knew Aragorn was going to come. The little boy offering his stuffed bear was very cute, and the Hobbits' teasing is perfect, as always. Faramir was almost funnier though, the way he takes the whole snowballing business with such perfect calm. LOL! I'd love to see a close-up of him really getting into the competition of the thing, mild man that he is.

This thing with Sauron...almost like demonic possession but not quite...is really interesting. I look forward to seeing what you do with it...and soon! What a cliff-hanger to leave us on! :D

Hugs, blessings, and apologies for absenting myself so long and frequently.

Author Reply: Well, guess who indeed! "I thought you had abandoned the Shire forever" But how wonderful to hear from you, ammelda, and I didn't have to wait years and years either like Frodo did. Of course you are still welcome and "the oftener you came back the more I'll be pleased" So glad you are reading and enjoying. I just love Faramir to death since he is so hobbity. I could have gone longer in this chapter, but then this little ending occured and I am very happy to leave such a cliffhanger for everyone! :) *evil laugh*

Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, hugs back, Antane :)

everyone else was smiling since Frodo was strong enough to tease and the tween was more than happy to take all his cousin wished to give.

There's so much love here.

But oh dear, what now? Darn that Sauron.

Author Reply: Thank you, my dear! I'm afraid I'm going to scare you off soon but I am so glad you are still hanging in with me. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
