Aw, this was so sweet!

This is absolutely, ridiculously, adorable.

Sweet, a little bitter around the edges. Seeing little Bilbo and Gandalf meet for the first time here warmed my heart. Excellent job done, dear! Thank you for sharing!

Bilbo is so sweet!

The story is a nice, simple tale told will skill.

So good! Young Bilbo is so cute:) loved it!

Aww, that was so sweet! I love how you made their first meeting so deep. I should add that Bilbo was so cute :)
And thank you for not being afraid to say you're a Christian, that lightened up my grim day. God bless:)

This is so sweet! Loved little Bilbo chasing away Gandalf's fears, and it really does tie in with both the quotes you listed. Thanks for sharing this! :)

LOVE THIS. I can so perfectly picture it in my mind's eye, and I can imagine the conversation...and then tagging it with Gandalf's words to Galadriel... Perfect.

*claps* Nicely done, my friend!

Oh wow! Oh wow! I've always loved your writing, but this brought tears to my eyes! The power of hope isn't found in big deeds but in small things.

Your ability to write Gandalf is top-notch. I especially loved how you introduced Bilbo through the connection to his mother. Makes me wonder if Gandalf is still carrying the green stone when he meets Estel, whose name means "hope."

Lovely work, as always! And thank you for such a great story!

Ah, I liked this one! It made me smile.

Good job!
