| Your words are like prose and I felt myself relaxing and listening to Aragorn and Frodo as they spoke, feeling almost a sing-song cadence running thru my head. Lovely indeed. I only wish Frodo had been hurt worst (nasty, nasty tree) so we could endure more h/c with him, but I do also so love Merry and the h/c he will receive. A magnificent story, Ariel dear, so pleased you have shared it with us. Author Reply: Awww! Thank you, Tree! Your praise is very welcome! | |

Sam...Always one not to do as he is told...Looking for objects to rescue them. Finally help arrives and Merry is pulled to saftey,though he looks bad. Frodo is pulled after a near fatal accident...Good job... | |

| It’s fun to meet your adult Frodo after reading “Fear.” I like his dry humor…in fact, the understated, wry comments of all the hobbits is very much in the spirit of Tolkien. And Merry with the healers—LOL! You can’t keep a good hobbit down! ;) Author Reply: :D I do aim to stay within canon as much as I can - the hobbits as Tolkien wrote them have always been my favorites. | |

| "Easy there, love," he slurred. "Not so eager. Let me wake first…" *big grin* Such a little womanizer! That is a wonderful tale, Ariel... and you met my soft spot for Merry nicely! There's absolutely no reason to "think poorly" of you, and I hope it's as much fun to write as it is to read! Author Reply: LOL! - Well, I am pleased you are having such fun with it! I do enjoy writing this sort of thing! | |

| I really like this story, Ariel! I'm noticing I'm leaning to "hobbit-angst" this week, and this filled the bill nicely! Very well written, and I can't wait for chapter 4! :) Author Reply: Oh, then you have certainly come to the right place. I am known in some circles as 'the Angst Maven' - it is my speciality and I do SO love it. Most of my angst is psychological but I do love a good h/c comfort story now and again! I hope you like the rest as much as the chapters you've read so far. | |

| It wasn't until they began to remove his trousers that he started to feel uncomfortable. "Easy there, love," he slurred. "Not so eager. Let me wake first…" Ariel, you just can't keep your hands out of the cookie jar, can you? Not even in the middle of a supposedly h/c fic? Cute little Merry. He's so darling when he's helpless in bed like that. I guess you couldn't stop yourself. Awesome chapter, especially the part about Aragorn's blazing eyes. That was a lovely sight. I hope that we gets lots of insight about life in the fellowship's Minas Tirith house. That unexplored section of time in the trilogy has always interested me. And Frodo can get a lot of tender attention there. If he's in your fic, he gets lots of it, right? Like he did in the last chapter of Thicker Than Blood? my personal Ariel fav? Love and happy typing, esamen Author Reply: Ariel, you just can't keep your hands out of the cookie jar, can you? Not even in the middle of a supposedly h/c fic? *Grins innocently* Ummm... nope. Can't help it. I just loves my lusty hobbitses... :D Oh, this one shall have angst, and Frodo will be the brunt of much of it. I tried to make it Merry, but Frodo is too wound about my heart! | |

| I'm glad that Frodo, at least, is doing well. I hope that Belegond isn't punished, although I have some uneasy feelings on his front. Merry in the Houses was a scream! The ladies must have been giggling among themsleves for a long time afterwards. I would have been, anyway. :) Excellent chapter, and I can't wait to see what happens next! Author Reply: Oh, Belegond will learn some lessons about hobbits but will not be too harshly punished. Aragorn has some idea of how they can be to deal with. ;) Cranking away on the rest as we speak! | |

| Oho! Merry's reaction to the unbuttoning of his trousers was a hoot. And your stubborn but practical Frodo is perfect. Sam is the mother hen, as always where Frodo is concerned. And I'm very pleased to see tbc at the end. Author Reply: For a few chapters more at least! I am quite frankly astonished at the response this little thing has gotten - really! I've had pieces that people liked before, but I've had folks coming out of the woodwork to comment on this! Astonishing! Now if I can just figure out what I did different with this one and repeat it! LOL! | |

A very good piece of work... Merry and Frodo are rescued,but Merry is hurt and very weak. Frodo is worried about Merry,and sam is anxious about frodo. Pippin will soon find out and be at both thier bedsides. Please continue,can't wait to hear more... Author Reply: Coming along as we speak! Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoy this story! I have been overwhelmed and delighted by the response! | |

| Hmmm, very interesting indeed! What, no liver? I always torture Merry with liver when he's lost more blood than is good for him. (And how can you lose less blodd than is good?) Hurrah, Pippin! Pip-pip, Hooray! (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) You've surprised me. I was imagining a blow on the head, a slight concussion perhaps, apparently not much damage done, no sign of slow bleeding going on under the surface... With your penchant for Frodo-angst it seemed the most likely course. Hmm, Merry had a blow to the head as well. O the possibilities! But then there is a "TBC" at the end of the chapter, so anything is possible, I suppose. Thanks! Author Reply: I always aim to do the thing that no one expects... Hmmm... Yes, liver would have been better to put in the sandwiches. Hmmm... good thought. *makes notes* Oh, Frodo has things to do and say and figure out later in the tale - I had to have him at least somewhat upright for it. LOL! | |
