Baggins!  by Grey Wonderer 112 Review(s)

Sorry I'm so late coming to this. I've been off and about a lot lately and haven't had time or mood to read much. I did make a point of remembering that you had posted some new stories so that I would come back and read them.

This is so charming! I can so imagine Belladonna wanting her lad to have an adventure, and Bilbo thinking just the opposite. I love the gentle, quiet feel this has.

Wonderful!

What a lovely birthday for both of them! Love little Merry too!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I do like to think that they had many happy birthdays together even before Frodo moved to Bag End. Glad you enjoyed Merry in this one. I had fun writing him as a little one.
Thanks for reviewing!

I like Belladonna's attitude! I wish for adventures, not potentially soul-destroying ones like Frodo's or frightful ones like Bilbo's but life on my own, just writing which would be a great adventure! Thank God for Bilbo's adventure though because our lives would be a lot more dull without his!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I wish for adventures too but most of mine involve travel and the usual things tourists do and maybe a better, more interesting job.

Tolkien really gave us all a gift when he gave us Bilbo and all of the other wonderful characters of Middle earth.
Thank you for reading!

Hi!I have just read your Baggins series and I wanted to thank you for sharing it with all of us Bagginses lovers. I love the stories about the Shire, (pre-Quest Shire) and though I like stories about Bilbo and Frodo, I can't usually find some good stories about them, so these fics have been quite a revelation for me. It's wonderful to read about our favorite hobbits like this. I specially loved this chapter because we can see the relationship between the three cousins and it's so sweet and lovely I just had to tell you. Thank you so much! I'm going now because I want to read your other fics (grin)

See you soon!

Esther

Author Reply: Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed these. I adore all of the hobbits and I have had a great deal of fun writing about them over the past couple of years. It's very nice to hear that someone has enjoyed reading them. Thank you for stopping by and for leaving this lovely review!

Ah! You have painted such a sweet, memorable moment in each of their lives. Another most brilliant episode in the lives of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and again, I loved each and every word. :-) There is just something about both of these lovely tales that makes me want MORE, lol. When will Bilbo drop another hint to Frodo to move in -- or, perhaps give us a glimpse into the acceptance? Well done, again! :-)

Author Reply: Awww, thank you! You're too nice to me and I love you for it.

I don't know if there will be more but just lately I have been thinking about little Merry and earlier stories so perhaps...

Oh...my....gosh!! Where do I start first? I absolutely LOVED the entire scene of Belladonna helping her beloved son prepare for his Coming of Age party! I heard Bell's voice crystal clear, and Bilbo's nervous apprehension unmistakably. I got lost in this wonderful scene while enjoying every word. You nailed it, my friend. Very well done, indeed. :-)

Author Reply: Thank you! That was my very first try at Belladonna.
I do think it was Bilbo's turn for a coming of age story so this was it from me anyway. I'v very gald that you liked it and Happy 22nd!

This made me smile from the very first to the last word. What a brilliant little story, dear. I love your Merry as much as Frodo and Bilbo :-)
Thank you for sharing!

Love and hugs,
Julchen

Author Reply: I haven't written too much of Merry at this age but for some reason, I have had little Merry on my mind lately. I did think that he would want to help out with the gifts. LOL

Thank you for reading and Happy 22nd!

This was sooooo great! I enjoyed it very much, my dear.
Thank you very much!

Author Reply: I'm very glad you liked it and thank you for reading. Happy 22nd or what's left of it.

“You got to thank him,” Merry objected frowning. “Even if you don’t like it you still got to thank him. It’s not polite if you don’t.”

Merry is great :)

Now that was a birthday to remember!

A very happy birthday to Frodo and Bilbo!

Author Reply: It's Merry to the defense of Frodo even at this age. LOL

Glad you enjoyed this and I wish you a very Happy Baggins Birthday!
