Oh, this is delightful. I love how Frodo cherishes these travels and how he's slowly building his own history in a world where the quest isn't his. That is really wonderful!
I was really excited to see another Frodo story in this verse of yours!
“I’m happy to travel with you,” said Frodo, though secretly he was horrified at the idea of being left behind. Thorin and Bilbo’s yearly trips north to the old capital of Annuminas were the highlight of Frodo’s year. Why, just last year he had gotten to meet Glorfindel and hear tales from lost Gondolin, and Theoden had taught him how to shoot an arrow (to Bilbo’s horror). And--Frodo still blushed to remember it--Arwen had danced a pavane with him, her hand soft in his. No, he would not miss it for the world. “I enjoy your company, cousins.” AWWW! I knew Frodo would choose to go with them :) And yay, he’ve already met so many awesome people there. :D
“Oh, very well,” said Bilbo, throwing up his hands, though he looked happy enough. “But we must remember to pack even more biscuits this time, as Gimli and Legolas ate them all last year.” :lol
They were about to surge forward when Frodo stepped up to stand next to the boys. “I think you should be moving along,” he said quietly. Good
Frodo smiled at the two of them. “You have your

“Now, now,” said Thorin reprovingly as he folded a sheet fresh from the line, “we don’t always talk about the old days. Sometimes we discuss terribly modern topics like taxes, or roads, or treaties.”
Isn't that the best image? He's the preferred sheet-folder because he's taller and they don't brush the ground. *nods*
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! :D I have this great picture of that in my head, now! :D
I'm sure Glorfindel has a lot of stories for Frodo! ;D
Little!Faramir! *pets him* And Denethor hugging him, eeeeeeeeeee!!! :D
THEY WERE SO FUN TO WRITE. And oh gosh, writing Denethor as such a good father that none of the other characters even notice it made me so happy...
And the three of them being friends! I wonder if they have adventures with Frodo later when they're all adults--Frodo seems to know Boromir really well when they meet in Gondor, hmmm...

No way is Frodo passing it up to sit around Bag End alone! No way!
Imagining Boromir and Faramir being friends with Frodo makes me so happy! It was a lot of fun to write... And I'm really glad you liked it!
