Next chapter please I loved this one!

I just recently picked this fic up and wanted to wait until the most recent chapter to do a long review, and now here I am. First, can I just say how awesome of a writer you are? If not for the author’s notes I would have no idea that some of the chapters took upwards of a year to be written, they all meld together so well.

Also, I LOVE your characterizations. I have loved the tiny details you add (like how Gloin waxes poetic about his family but can’t properly explain why there’s a dead body to be buried). I also really really love Jenna’s and Thorin’s characters. I feel like not enough fanfic writers remember to represent characters who are physically or mentally “flawed”, and I have really appreciated that you have been delving into those aspects of their characters. Also, I so relate to all of Jenna’s thoughts about her “potato” self.

Also also, I really love all the details you’ve added that are different from the Hobbit because those kinds of touches add to making your fic unique to all the other people who have written the Hobbit OC from our world fics. I love all of them but variety is nice XD

I am so glad you’ve been able to come back to this fic, it is so awesome! I’m very excited to keep reading on, things are getting so interesting!

I think you do a wonderful job balancing Thorin’s temper with him just being nice sometimes. I honestly love how you characterize him

Another great chapter, this is very well written! I love her optimism and “kill em with kindness” attitude

Binged this story is 2 days. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I need to know the thoughts tumbling around in Thorin's head this entire chapter LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT ;...;
A show as usual, I am so excited for the next chapter and SO MAD that ff didn't send me a notif and I missed this update by three weeks smh

holy crud holy crud holy crud this chapter was an adventure and a half holy crud

You deserve so much more recognition for your work, it's so good. You can see the hard work put in there and Jenna is so lovable :))

Didn’t see that one coming! How will Dwalin and Jenna.

When I saw the title of this chapter my mind immediately went to the Sherlock episode “A Scandal in Belgravia”, and I thought, “Oh shoot Jenna’s done something unexpected.”

When the Stone Giants didn’t appear I was panicking right along side Jenna yet secretly excited to see what you were going to do!

I always wanted to hug Bofur, too!

When I got to the place where you did the thing to the guy my daughter sat bolt upright and with insta-tears in her eyes yelled, “No! No! She wouldn’t!”

Jenna is going to be WRECKED when the adrenaline wears off…

Favorites: They could pry my few remaining tampons from my cold dead hands.; Boy had some pipes.; knuckle dusters and the tattooed hands; “Just a couple of keepsakes.”; 'A Wizard arrives precisely when he means to'; When Jenna realizes what happened; Bruh. (Had to stop reading cause we were laughing too hard at this.); a filet o' fish on a McDonald's parking lot; It would have to wait.; Hoo, was it hot in here? (aka Amy Farrah Fowler); This was unacceptable.; plate of nachos for a brain; going abruptly from feral to frightened and a terrified little squirrel.

This WHOLE chapter but especially, ESPECIALLY the end scene where you did the thing to the guy (and WHAT a guy)…

The Woman indeed. Buckle up indeed.

HOLY BUCKETS! So loving this!

Holy shit. This was such a stressful chapter! In a good way though lol. You've definitely nailed 'palpable dread'.

It was great hearing Jenna's POV, filling us in on all of her shitting-her-pants anxiety over timeline stuff going out of whack. Truly a worst case scenario for these gals in Middle Earth to face- canon being non canon compliant LOL.

So sweet of Bilbo to ask if she wanted to dip but I'm sure her refusal made him feel more not cut out for the quest. Poor dear. And Thorin, my boy, just settled down near her 33 Even if out of convenience, my heart can't take it. But god, the waiting for the floor to give out was horrible. I'd have needed a gallon of pepto bismol to settle the knots in my stomach...

OOOPH. The whole trip down into the tunnels was great- disorienting and descriptive enough to make sure we know its BAD and DANK af down there. Truly, your depiction of the goblins was horrific and yeah, a hygienic nightmare was spot on. Like yes, I knew the goblins looked nasty and grimy and crusty all in one... but you stopped and dragged them into a florescent lit bathroom with one of those magnifying mirrors LMAO. You didn't have to do em like that but... fuck em, they deserve it! XD Makes the orcs look pristine in comparison.

You really made the goblins SCARY. Like you changed the soundtrack to a suspense horror piece and got me worried for everyone's safety. Before, I liked the Goblin Town song but this made me realize they were really fucked up for singing that XD Like... so rude, so unnecessary, so disrespectful. Not only are they about to torture and kill my guys, but they're gonna narrate it in song? Like it's Broadway with blood? Hell no. That's wrong. Controversial take but, those goblins are sickos.

And I'd been waiting, waiting, for the other shoe to drop. When Dwain first put Jenna's hood up... I thought of the troll scene in A Light in Arda where it's mentioned that women are a delicacy and I figured that tracks... And oh boy. Firstly, Jenna's dawning realization that they all early and that meant they had longer to survive while in the goblins' clutches- terrifying. Bringing out the torture machines, and them actively trying to behead our Thorin? I felt SICK. Props to Jenna for going berserk mode and saving her man- I'm sure that's going to result in some great conversations later- but it just kept getting worse! When they discovered Jenna was a woman... smh. I wasn't prepared. The Great Goblin was a lot more than comedic mini boss here; he was in control. He really felt like he could end some lives. Genuinely, I thought some people were going to get tortured at the very least. But when he grabbed Jenna, and she conveyed how massive and stupidly strong he was, I was scared for her. I half expected the goblins' finding out she's a woman would take a pervy turn but no, somehow, someway, worse. A fucking gift for Azog? OH GOD NO. I don't even want to imagine what that would entail. When Jenna and Thorin shared that look of sheer horror, I was there with them. It felt so helpless and hopeless and so dark. (I love it!) Like... if they ever make it out, I need those two to HUG. HARD. Bloody hell. Now I'm scared of Azog even seeing her! Omfg.

When Gandalf showed up, clearly it was a relief but oooh you're tricksy! You lured us into a false sense of security! We're going along the run with them all, its scary still and crazy but we know everyone gets out okay. right? RIGHT? LOL You pulled the rug out from under us just like the support under Dwalin! Despite the nerve wracking action, it's really sweet how he saves her then she saves him- or tries to. Because they're fucked. LMAO. I don't know what they can do. Will they miss the mountainside battle? The eagles? Are they going to run into Bilbo? Or Gollum? I'll lose my shite if Gollum-chan makes a cameo XD

This is crazy awesome and my head is spinning trying to think of all the possibilities! I'ma go scream now.

I AM FREAKING OUT MAN. you can't be doing these kinds of things to my heart! i am beyond excited for the next chapter!

I always get so excited when I see an update! Loved this chapter and love your work! Can’t wait for the next one

I love this chapter, it was very exciting, and I can’t wait to find out how they escape. Thanks for the update.
