Interesting idea, though somewhat confusing as to at what time exactly does Frodo make tea in this story? I mught be retarded, but I didn't get it: before the Quest? Before moving in Bag-End? Still, mingling a domestic ritual with Frodo's thoughts is quite effective and kind of sweet.

Oh, my! That just tears at your guts. It was too poignant (is that possible?). I had no trouble with figuring out when it was taking place. However, I do feel that a tense change is warranted when you go back to the first time he makes the tea. "Frodo set about the task happy in the thought that Bag End was now his home." It should read, "Frodo had set about the task, happy in the..." I reread it, and most of it did follow the tense correctly. Other than minor punctuation issues, this was excellent. Kudos to you. And popcorn. And Buttershots. I do not really read Hobbit stories, but I will gladly open a bottle for this one. Thank you.

This was my first ever Frodo fic! I have to say I enjoyed it very much. I liked the significance of something so simple, so every day being so significant when all is said and done. It's the simplest of gestures or chores that makes a house become a home and I like that Frodo finally found that with Bilbo!! An ease of sorts.
