Title:The Adventures of Tom and Barard
Category: slash.
Rating: NC-17 for sexual content. Contains violence, some references to non-consensual sex, and lots of hurt/comfort. I make no money from these stories, and give grateful thanks to JRR Tolkien for providing us with such a richly imagined world to play in.

Waaaah!!

You cannot leave us hanging like that!

Hitchcock said that in order to build a good suspens, one has to keep the audience waiting.
You certainly know how to keep us riveted to our screen. I can't wait to see more of Barard and how Tom manages to get him out of this predicament.

Just keep your fingers crossed that I don't go down with the flu bug that has just hit one of my co-workers.

Arrrrggggghhh. You took me from almost hopeful to crushingly depressed with this one. This is an intriguing story and I want to read MORE SOON!!! I loved the sprinkles of more LOTR-related bits, like with Pippin etc, but I feel I am drawn very much into the world you have created.

Thank you! I enjoyed reading this chapter a lot! :)

When you get time to read from the beginning, you'll find there's a whole back story there about the start of T&B's relationship and the beginning of their lives as merchants in MT

I'm glad you enjoyed. :)

I have read a few of the earlier chapters and I did find the bit with Sam and the oil and the book that you mentioned. I enjoyed that very much!! :)

Thank you. :)

Oh, goody! An update! I was starting to go through withdrawal waiting for this chappie, which was just as excellent as all the others. Tom's reception in the marketplace and in the tavern were very amusing. He's made himself quite popular, and that latest episode in the alley is likely to put him up near god-status as far as everyone is concerned.

I thought they wouldn't execute Barard because he looks like a child, and it's forbidden to execute children. *tips head and ponders* I guess they're desperate enough to make that move? I'll have to wait and see apparently.

So many good things about this chapter, I can't list them all without copying the whole thing. And don't you dare get sick! Take some Vitamin C, stat! ^_^

You have to remember, that was Faros's interpretation (that if Barard *looked* like a child it would cause a riot to execute him). Sulos will have some words to say on the subject, but to have a horse as an adviser Daros has to have a certain amount in common with a mad Roman Emperor.

And don't you dare get sick!

I'll try not to, it sounds like the genuine flu article, though :( Hopefully, I'll get chapter 10 off to beta this weekend, so if I do fall sick, it won't put me off schedule...

Glad you enjoyed. :)

My history sucks. Would this Roman Emperor happened to have been stabbed to death by all his senators and his best bud?

Seems that if Faros has that opinion, then he wouldn't be the only one. It could very well start a riot - with the help of a determined little bird. :) Can't wait to see what Sulos thinks of all this and just how Tom is going to rescue Barard. ^_^

No, Julius wasn't mad, but he set the scene, by taking Rome from a democracy to an Empire. It was the totally mad Caligula I was thinking of, although Daros is not as dangerously mad as Caligula (who did some very vile things). Daros is paranoid rather than schizophrenic; a state of mind which is encouraged by his previously mentioned cousin, Karios, the Jackal.

Ah, see, Xena forgot to mention that Caligula had a horse for an advisor, otherwise I would have known that. :P Actually as soon as you mentioned madness, I thought of Caligula. The horse-advisorer thing I thought was more a showing of arrogance, and so I thought of Caesar first.

Sorry to be so late to comment, RL and all those flimsy excuses. :)

Lovely continuation chapter as the politics thicken and we learn something about poor Barad. I have waited a long time to be sure where he was. I can't imagine Tom's agony to learn that his love is chained and beaten. How can he stand it?

Loved the scene in the alley where Tom grabbed the knife from Sulos' boot. That was very cool. They should be in the good graces now, but how to explot it? And with the execution date set, oh my, we have a time factor too. Eeeeekkkk!!!

This just flows along beautifully. Can hardy wait for more and more. Yum!

No worries. I'm having a tough time with RL, as well, so I do understand. Thank you for finding time to read and comment. :)

Read on... the next chapter is posted. :)

btw, I'll be in NY in late April...

Am printing it off as I type. Can hardly wait to read it. :)

When will you be in NY? It would be great to get together again. Can you get to Boston? Or I can go to NY--if you have any time, that is. Just a thought if you are free, it would be fun but don't worry if you can't swing it.
