not his oakensheild... love the wit.

Mithrandir say what now? this is one of my favorite things an oc has said. lol

Just found this gem, and I am LIVING for it! I just find her so relatable and you are doing an excellent job developing the relationship in a believable way! A! Thank you for the gift of sharing what you've written.

Your story has been a wonder to read so far, and I've dearly loved it. It's not very often I can find a fan fiction that is so superbly written. I do hope you can pick this story back up eventually. Be well and take care.

I do so hope you update this soon. I think I read it shortly after your most recent update, and then somehow lost it. Was absolutely thrilled when I stumbled upon it again. Just as much a pleasure to read the second time as it was the first. You are a wonder.

Excellent story! I can't wait for the next chapter.

I know it's probably a foreign concept that's straying a bit too far from the original idea, but what if the Durin's end up in our world? Something about that would be amazing.

I can't believe I'm only just finding this! I love every part of this. Jenna is great and is the perfect balance of trying her best and completely unprepared. The pace of her relationship with Thorin is so good and not rushed. I really hope this continues, I need her to get her voice back so badly!

Okay this is like the third time I’m rereading this and I love every single thing about it. I’m praying PRAYING that you find time and inspiration to finish this story. I especially adore Thorin’s and Jenna’s relationship. The way they can speak to each other without words. It’s a difficult thing to portray but you do it so well and I’m living for it! Please don’t give up on this! Much love!

I looooove this story! Jenna is a sweetheart but yet so determined. I strongly think this Journey of hers will show her truly what a badass she is, even with her weight. Also, I can't wait until the chapter when Jenna gets her voice back. By then, I hope Thorin thinks it's the most beautiful thing in the world. :D keep up the good work, you're AWESOME! Hugs and kisses from Sweden!

Your character is super likeable.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I still love this story and follow it. This is the only fic I’ve found where the main character is overweight. As someone who has been overweight most of her life with all the accompanying self-esteem issues, which I’ve really worked hard on, this fic is encouraging to me and I relate to it. Thank you for putting it out there.

This comment might be a little late, but i really enjoyed this story! There aren't many like this, where the character's looks and actions are relatable and realistic. Also the slow build up between her and thorin is just exquisite, the eventual relationship that will bloom between them will be 'that' much more satsifying. I hope you are staying well through the pandekic and hope to see an update soon!
