Oh, this is a frightening thing to happen! Poor Frodo but I love how brave they all were. Strider, hurry up and came back!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: AU or no AU, our lads are still a very brave bunch of hobbits!

A clever combination of "movieverse" and book. Just where, after all did Viggo's Aragorn get those four knives? I do not believe anyone knew that Merry and Pippin would be along, even Gandalf. So how would he have known to bring four? On the other hand, it is best not to underestimate what Gandalf might have known! You pay a bit of homage here to the Barrow blades, very nice. So it is to be merely a broken arm, not a shoulder stab... hmmm. And I agree with Lindelea, we hope Saruman does not already have IT! Maybe THAT would then become the Quest, a covert mission to get the Ring away from him and then destroy it. This is getting good!

Author Reply: I know. I wondered about that myself. This was sort of a "fix-it" for that scene. (In my verse Gandalf suspected Merry and Pippin might come, but did not know it for sure.)

Yes, because Frodo did NOT have the One Ring, and the Morgul blade was meant for the Ringbearer!

I'm glad you are enjoying this AU!

I hope that Saruman doesn't have It...

Author Reply: That would be pretty awful...
