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.

Chapter 13 has been posted, and can be found here

Earlier chapters can be found here

Since I gave aliena_z the wrong date for my window of opportunity to post this chapter, I haven't had all her grammar corrections. She usually manages to tease more sense out of my words, so I apologise for my incompetance. Corrections will come along later. Thanks to mariole and ghyste for their valuable comments on content, and to peachy for catching some of my missed punctuation and spelling errors.

Awwww! Happy, sated, sappy hobbits! I loves it!

Okay, I am now officially a puddle of GOO. I love the hobbity room made to Faros's suggestion, and the misunderstanding over "rubbing feet," and how Barard keeps surprising Tom with how much Southron he actually understands. I *love* Barard's bravery in the face of his madness, and the two of them dealing (very believably, mind!) with the trust issues following such a long, difficult separation. And OY, the loving!!!!!! Fantastic. And that last line utterly completed my transition from solid to semi-liquid.

Another chapter so soon ! This was lovely. I don't have much time today but I had to read this before I leave the house. I have to say some more, later. Now I'm off to work with a silly smile on my face ;)

Elycia said it all so well that I was tempted to only leave a comment saying that I second everything she said. But I know that would make me feel very guilty so I will say that I second everything she said AND that I loved to see how they are both slowly finding their way back to how they were before all this happened.

Can't wait for more!!! :)

What a wonderful surprise to find another chapter so soon! I loved how Tom & Barard resolved their misunderstandings and were finally able to love again.

Well, I'm all caught up now and I could just kick myself for allowing RL to keep me away! This story is wonderful---you detailed the Southron world so well that it's almost canon for me now. Your OCs are delightful and well-drawn, and I love how you wove Tom's memories of Barard into each chapter. It kept their love very evident in spite of their painful separation.

And now they've found each other again. *melts into a puddle*
