A new beginning indeed. This is where the hard work really begins . . . poor loves.

Author Reply: Elwen- so cool to hear from you. You got that right! But it will be interesting to see what happens, huh? thanks for reviewing tree

I like the slurred speech. Very fitting in light of all of the drugs. I do feel sorry for Merry. He is trying so hard to help everyone and it is wearing him out. Looking forward to more.

Author Reply: I was afraid it would be to hard to understand. But Aragorn DID give him a large dose of sedative. Glad youre enjoying the fic, thanks for your great reviews. tree

Author Reply: Slurred speech is VERY difficult to type. Funny, I dont remember it being that difficult whenever Ive had it LOL, glad you liked it tree

Well, Frodo has quite an explanation coming. I wonder what Sam will do when he hears about it.

Author Reply: Yes he does, but Sam probably wont be hearing much about it. Glad you are still reading, and (apparently) enjoying. thanks for your review tree

I'm sorry I didn't stop along the way to leave reviews...I was so hooked I couldn't stop reading.

You are a true Frodo torturer!!!!

I hope we are getting to the healing and comfort bit or I may need some of Frodo's sedative.

Update soon, pleeeeese.

Helen

Author Reply: LOL!!! You are so funny. I love the boy so much, and yet here I am torturing him, what kinda of sadistic person is that? Healing and comfort are coming up, no worries. Glad youre enjoying the fic, and thanks so much for the review. I love it when I get a chance to chuckle. tree

You ARE going to update soon, right? It was so nice to see Frodo and Merry playing again. I hope you add in more of that later.

Author Reply: Never fear, the next chapter is being proofed and should be up soon. Can I take it then, that you are enjoying the story? some of your previous comments made me wonder. If so...goody. Im glad you continued reading. thanks again for your reviews. tree

Oh, no! What are you doing to poor Frodo? I wonder what Aragorn will wake up and find, and when he will wake up.

This is wonderful and I wish there were more right now. LOL I hope you plan to update soon. Poor Merry! All he tries to do is help and he winds up feeling guilty. I don't know how much more Frodo can take either. This is an amazing story!

Author Reply: I am very glad you are enjoying the story. This is my first story and Im amazed at all the positive feedback I am getting.

Maybe you should also have mentioned how Pippin shouldn't talk about great battles in front of Frodo, too. That would be an important part as well.

Author Reply: First, you have to remember youre talking about Pippin. He speaks first then thinks (maybe) afterwards.

When did Aragorn die? I can see how he would understand that Frodo wanted to be free of his pain, but how can he know from his own experiences?

Author Reply: This is an alternate universe story. I would like to think that Aragorn has had many many dangerous adventures and has either had the experience of near death, or known someone who has had this experience. I am merely augmenting to JRR Tolkien's wonderful stories, not re writing them. I believe each author should have artistic license in order to creatively express the 'what if' type of scenario.
