OMG, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

!!!!!!!

This was epic--the characterization, the pacing, the slow discovery of his true feelings for Bilbo--the discussion between the three of them at the end--this whole part was just perfection. Sheer perfections. It's going into memories, along with part one. Please update soon, because I love what you've done here and where it's going. You're a true storyteller.

Make more now!

PS: I wish I had written this. For serious.

Oh, oh, I love this update and this story so much! I love the way the dwarves are ribbing Bilbo, and how it flusters him, it's all very funny, but then Thorin losing his temper:

Everyone froze, and it took Thorin half a moment to fully realize that it was he who had shouted - roared - at the cluster of gathered dwarves, the word imbued with every bit of authority he could muster.

Mmmm, that's delightful. And ugh, I don't know, I can't quote everything I loved because it would be too long, but Fili and Kili being delighted they weren't being chewed out, and all the sparring practice(Oh God, I love when the mithril coat is made into a symbol of love!) and then Dwalin being frank with him--and Balin knowing all along that he was in love! That just made me grin like crazy. This is beautiful and totally hits the spot for me, and I'm looking forward very much to the next update!

I just found this story and I must say that I simply adore it. Who would have thought that possessive!Thorin could be so... hot? (Well, maybe I actually should have guessed it but thank you for proving it to me in writing.) :-P

I love the characterization of both Bilbo and Thorin. All in all, this story is quite delicious in every aspect!
