Why this must be read:

Because the Hobbits crack me up. Because it's so difficult to find fic in which Sean Bean isn't portrayed as evil, a womanizer, or both. Because the writing style is out of this world, startling and real. Because there's a slow burn here that is delightful to watch and that pays out in a surprising way.

Sean puts tea by Viggo's elbow.

"Fuck." Sean scalds his mouth on his own mug and sets it down on the table. "I feel like a pig shat in my head," he offers.

"Teach you to drink hobbit-brew in future," Viggo says.

Sean lets the corners of his mouth lift. There's an established joke that the hobbits couldn't tell a bottle of Chateau Sacré Bleu 1902 from Heineken in a boot.

Aww, thank you! It's nice to hear that, because sometimes compiling these recs can be a pain. ;)

and a bit thankless, i'd guess? well, thanks, a bunch!

Why, you old smoothie. I've been meaning to show up on your journal to wave for aeons now am having rather a long dark tea-time of the soul, plus as busy as all hell, with proof-reading the book from hell and exam marking. Hope you are very well.

Just popping in to say thank you for the rec. I needed something to soothe the horror of facing piles of work on a bank holiday, and this was very generous.

You're more than welcome. Thank you for writing such an awesome fic.
