“You always think I need washing up,” Aragorn chuckled. He got to his feet, as did Elladan.

“And I’m always right,” Frodo grinned. “Please come in, both of you. Bilbo will be so delighted.”


Note to self: It needs a hobbit to get a scruffy ranger into a presentable state. *grins* Delightful, my dear Janet. And Sam's reaction at the sight of Elladan was very sweet - and very Sam!

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, if Aragorn wants to stay scruffy, he needs to stay far away from Bag End, doesn't he? :)

*squee!!!!* I was wondering how long a wait there would be when you mentioned this over at LJ. Happy it wasn't as long as I thought it might!!! :oD

That was just too adorable a beginning. Of course the puppies would be a bit more cautious than Scamp. Scamp *knows* Aragorn is trustworthy in the utmost, but did have to giggle the pups went first to his bootlaces. :oD

Sam has seen his first Elf...That was fantastic!! Wonder just how much his mind will be on his chores. ;o)

I love how much just in this first chapter you've touched on the previous stories in this universe. Good thing the last little while I've been re reading them.

Now...Let's get on w/this and bring on the adventure!!! :oD

Author Reply: You're so sweet, Tigger. Thank you for such enthusiasm!

*sends you yummy bootlaces with a puppy attached*

A very promising beginning to what I know will amount to another wonderful
Shirebound tale! :) (and one at that with Scamp!!!)

I really enjoyed Sam's reaction to meeting Elladan. You write young Sam so well ... young Frodo too.

I hope Bilbo feels better soon and I look forward to more.

“You always think I need washing up,” Aragorn chuckled.
*Grins* Why is that so, I wonder ;-)

And Yay for a new Shirebound Story!
The title is very promising, and there are puppies in it!

I'm looking forward to reading more, although I will be on holiday for a while. But I'll catch up with your story as soon as possible :)


Author Reply: Thank you, Andrea, I'm glad you're looking forward to more. I hope you have a lovely holiday.

Puppies! :)

Ah! A new story,I believe I will love this one as much as the last!

Author Reply: Awww, thank you, Elfingimp. What a sweet thing to say. I certainly hope you enjoy this one as much as I'm enjoying planning it. :)

Oh, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!! Another tale from Shirebound! And Elladan is here as well as puppies! And hurt and comfort of course!

I did have to grin at my own perception of language though. To this Brit 'washing up' refers to doing the dishes and not so much to washing yourself! However, I am sure that Estel is happy to do both or either in Bag End.

Author Reply: Thank you for your enthusiasm, Harrowcat. (And I agree that Estel would be willing to 'wash up' in any way that is needed.)

Elves and puppies and rangers, oh my! There's room in this 'universe' for everyone. *grins*

How delightful to see this story continuing. Estel's history with Frodo and the return of Scamp leave me in such a happy place! And bringing Elladan into the Shire makes Sam's dream come true!

Author Reply: Thank you so much. This is *my* "happy place", as well. Estel and Frodo both deserve to have had such a gentle friendship.

Ooh, what joy to immerse myself in this world again! *happy sigh*

Author Reply: What a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much.

YAYAY!! You finally started posting it!!

Ooooh, I like the changes you made - I don't remember Sam meeting Elladan before - didn't he drop out of the tree after Sam left? Hmmm, that's how I remember it anyway.

I love the exchange between Estel and Frodo... but of course that's a large part of what makes your Quarantined universe so wonderful - their relationship. I also really enjoyed Elladan's assessment of Frodo, and the differences between his responses and Sam's.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: Yay! I'm so glad to dive back into this happy world of Estel and his 'little one'.
