for Keep Him Secret, Keep Him Safe2/4 c1

I've read the whole thing but leaving my comment here. THIS is the best LOTR fic I've read so far. It is really stunning, quite beautiful and it makes sense! I feel like this is the style in which the book would be written if Tolkien was writing for the audience of today. Please feel free to write more...much more!

Ulck! The lemons! XDDD At least Merry kept his good senses about him. xDDD
This was a very sweet story. I liked them teasing Aragorn about not knowing the difference between a Took and a Baggins. and Poor Frodo getting "Ale-head" XDD
Frodo was adorable as always. And Pip wanting to "inspect" the tub, and Elrohir teasing Aragorn about being wary of Monsters in the bath water was so cute.
There was just so many cute parts.

Ahaahaahaaahaaaa! XDD Frodo and I share a mutual hate of all things lemon. I think its hilarious that Sam and everyone else like it so much. xDDD Poor Frodo...

Taking his cue from Gandalf, Frodo stood quietly, one small hand unconsciously winding itself in the wizard's robe.
That is such a cute image, I love Frodo, he's so adorable.
I think the Elves inviting Frodo and Bilbo to the West was just a clever way for them to get two Hobbits all to themselves. (Curse that wizard for following along and undoubtedly hogging the Hobbits' attention. xDDD)
The end where Frodo curled up next to Aragorn "so Aragorn wouldn't feel alone." was just too sweet. It reminded me of my Niece wanting to sleep beside my mom when she was sick last year.
Hobbits are just too cute. x3333

Thank you for this story, I love it. I love the depth of the emotions you depict here, especially in the chapter 5 - the thoughts of Elrohir almost made me cry. This is a gift, to have the ability to write story so that someone else can not only read but also feel, cry or laugh with characters.
The story is gentle, sweet, filled with warmth and sunshine, and light breeze and soft touch of spring - it raised my spirits and lightened heart - that's absolutely wonderful. You described the relationships the way I'm sure Tolkien would be proud of. The love and caring all of them have shown each other is ideal. Your story could perfectly fit into LoTR in the chapters after destroing The Ring.
That was utmost pleasure to read. Thank you!

Dear Shirebound: Another well-written story! You did your usual fine job of perfect characterization and excellent dialogue. The plot, although not unduly complicated, was all the better for that. You do h/c very well indeed. You also do very well in writing about friendship, and I especially like the way you portray the friendship and concern between Frodo and Aragorn. Thanks so much for writing and posting this. Sincerely, Darkover

I should just go through and add all your LotR stories to my 'Favourites'! Thank you for writing such wonderful Hobbity stories. Frodo's thing about lemons is funny.

Ha, they're inventing things left and right. First lemonade, then bunk beds, now lemons in tea. What's next? I wonder. : )
