Happy Birthday to Bilbo Baggins! Happy Birthday to Frodo Baggins! It's September 22nd, and to celebrate everyone's two favorite hobbit-y ringbearers, I made a podfic!
Home Behind and Home Ahead, written by
etharei, is an adorable ball of fluff and feelings. It's canon that Bilbo adopted Frodo, a few years after his return from Erebor, but this story takes that tidbit and turns out five thousand words of Found Family Feels. Bilbo and Frodo building their lives together, and sharing hobbies, and being general sweethearts is good enough to make you lightheaded with glee, but the true moment of SUPREME EXCELLENCE in this story is when Bilbo faces the challenge of many single parents: introducing his child to his Significant Other. All in all, reading this story made my heart grow three sizes too big, and I wanted to share that joy on this happy (birth)day.
The Intro/Outro music for this podfic is "My Dear Frodo", composed by Howard Shore for the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey movie soundtrack. I.... just couldn't help myself. Look at the title. I had no choice but to use this song in this podfic.
This podfic runs about 40 minutes long, and you can download it as an mp3
right over here (thank you
paraka, for hosting me!) OR you can stream the story by clicking below.
Happy listening, and happy birthday to the Bagginses!
