| I must have missed this story on the Challenge page. It takes me quite a while to get through them and I must have thought I read this one when I didn't! Anyway, I'm enjoying it now! Some good h/c is sometimes very nice! Merry and Frodo and certainly in a bit of trouble! I hope that the guard hurries! It's a good thing the guards and Sam weren't trapped as well, that certainly would have been a task! Looking forward to the rest, I will probably continue reading it here as I don't think I will be able to go back as I'm trying to slowly, but steadily make it through the Challenge 13 stories! Author Reply: as I'm trying to slowly, but steadily make it through the Challenge 13 stories! *Salutes Hai for her diligence!* I know exactly what you mean! I don't think I have ever managed to get through all the fics in a challenge, but it sure is fun trying! I am pleased to see you caught this one now - and hope you enjoy the rest! Stay tuned! | |

| Well Ariel, this wasn’t the next story of yours I was planning to read, but there it was on the SoA home page, so… Sometimes proximity trumps priority, I guess! It’s nice to see Frodo on the comfort end for a change… My favorite line: “Frodo had always been the strong one, never sick, always confident, responsible and competent.” YES—Strong Frodo lives! Claustrophobia, eek—one of my own worst nightmares! Good thing it was a Man-sized fireplace, or two hobbits could never have fit! Author Reply: Oh, you know me and strong Frodo! Angst is much better when the subject is hale and whole - even if the opportunites for it are fewer. Oh, I know what you mean about claustrophobia - eek! And since Merry's gotten to be such a big hobbit, he almost doesn't! Will post the next chapter tonight (I hope). | |

| Great story. Look forward to reading it all over again! Author Reply: *grin* And it now has an ending! Yeah! I plan on putting the whole thing up as soon as I have the last chapter back from the beta. Thanks for your support! | |

| Oh My God!! She's back!!! I have been thinking alot about you the last few months wondering what had so rudely taken you from us. It is so good to see you back here again and a new story taboot! Love this fic already .... your gift for capturing and holding your audience has not left you. You have been sorely missed but now I hope we will be hearing and reading more of you. tree Author Reply: *HUGGLES Tree!* I was actually not gone, just trying to get this silly thing finished before I posted it. I am so bloody slow! LOL! I was also trying to get caught up on some fics I have fallen sorely behind on (like yours!) but I will be posting the rest of this very soon, as soon as I have the last chapter back from my beta! | |

| Oh, glorious! You go, Ariel! I wouldn't call this "gratuitous h/c." I call it awesome writing. You've got it all going on. Go deep and plumb those marvelous characters and emotions . . . go fast and give us all that action . . . and please don't forget lots of h/c for my beloved blue-eyed hero . . . I can't wait for the next update! Please go back to your keyboard right now. Thanks for a great first chapter, Esamen Author Reply: *cough* Actually, it is written, it all is. I am just waiting on a beta of the last chapter. I figured that just waiting till I had the story finished before posting any of it would be a smarter way to go, especially considering how bloody LONG it takes me to write anything! LOL! Glad you like it and I will put the rest up post haste! | |

| Oh, I'm *so* glad you decided to post this here! It's such a lovely story! Well worth re-reading, and if it *is* gratuitous h/c, it is very well-written gratuituous h/c!! Author Reply: heheheheh... Weeeelllll, as per usual, it kind of got less gratuitous as time went on. I am told the last chapter is 'powerful' so, we shall see. It was entirely intended to be gratuitous, but I guess I didn't quite escape the gravity of 'meaning' and 'purpose'. I will just have to try again. | |

| I must have missed this on the challenge site, but I am glad to have found it here. All that lose stone from the battle and now Merry and Frodo are trapped. I hope Gimli has a rescue planned. This is very good. I love Merry's efforts at humor in all of this and Frodo trying to take care of his cousin. Author Reply: Yippe! Yep, it was on the challenge site but on the second page. Don't sweat it, there were stories on that site I still haven't gotten to either! I don't know how some of these people do it! | |

| I'm loving this... I'm a sucker for Frodo h/c, as you well know, but there's so little of it involving freak accidents and injuries and such. Perhaps this is generally a Merry h/c story, but knowing you and your Frodo writing, I'm hoping for at least a little injury/discomfort to Frodo, too, in the bargain. :) Can't wait for more! Author Reply: *Snort* Well, you do know me and my Frodo writing - I can't write something that is completely Frodo h/c free, can I? hehehehe You just wait till the next chapter. ;) | |

| This is wonderfully intense. It's interesting to think about certain parts of Minas Tirith being unsafe; it's something that not many fanfic writers think about. I like that Frodo is the strong one in this situation. I'm worried about Merry, and I can't wait to see where you go with this. Looking forward to the next chapter! Author Reply: Strong Frodo is my passion - and I love writing him! He will be very strong in this one, especially at the end. I hope you continue to enjoy it! | |
