I can’t find the alternative chapters anywhere. :

Although this fanfic may be very well written, it is most certainly incredibly depressing if not borderline heartbreaking for the mind to swallow

great story

I can't believe I read all of this and it's not even the end. As disturbed as I am by the torture I couldn't tear myself away. Take that as a good sign and you have another positive review. Well done on sticking it out as most good long fics are incomplete! On to RATM2 for me

Woohoo! You go, Frodo! I was actuly afraid how it would end, I thought Frodo would not talk to him at all, he broke his promise. Glad to see you back, Master Frodo!

Wow! You have to read this with LOTR soundtrack! And if Frodo shall be broken, I'll be the one to put him back together. Memories of Samwise shall come back, the taste of strawberries and cream shall be savored through his lips, and Merry will be himself again. Thumbs up on artwork! I drew a picture as well!

Alright Mr. Merry! That's it! Get him, girls! I'll get Frodo! (Two Rangers run and pin Merry down, then tied him down and took him back to Brandybuck hall. Then two other got Pippin back to his parent's basement. We go unlock Sam and bring the hobbits to bree to meet strider.) Love you Lij!

Oi! Merry! Stop hurting Frodo! My warriors are right out your door! One more move, and I will bang that door down with you as well! I love you, Frodo!

P.s im a girl, you can tell.

I just reread this, after about four months. The memory of it came back and I just had to pick it up again. It is just as chilling, heartbreaking and intense as the first time, and I will not deny that I spent a day and a half reading it like a madman! I thought I would drop you a quick review just to let you know that is is seriously the best piece of LOTR fanfiction I have read :)

I'm always up for the challenge of translating book canon into movie canon.

Blah, "dear boy". Do u call like that someone who is only 5 years older?!

Oh please, what 'parent'? Frodo's like 5-6 years older (in human years)!

This is so intense. Seriously. I love it.

I caught the quote "are you going to bury me" looks like I'm gonna have to start paying more attention to the dialogue and trying to remember the book quotes now. *sigh* *rereads again*

I know this is a really random comparison but the setup of our characters seems like the setup the characters from the Human Centipede movie. Merry is the scientist guy, Pippin's the Asian guy in the front, Frodo's the girl in the middle, and Sam's the girl in the back. Idk, it just suddenly occurred to me.
