Summary:

It wasn't until they were at the Prancing Pony, fortified by the several rounds of food and drink that had been provided by the helpful Sam, and further supported by the presence of Fredegar Bolger, who they'd had the fortune to meet at the pub, that Merry had the problem out of Frodo. “It's a business of elevens.”

Hey, this was absolutely beautiful, I loved it a lot.

And now I'm going to hopefully help rather than hurt, b/c I have met Tolkien fandom once or twice... did you mean the 'Green Dragon' rather than the 'Prancing Pony'? Since I sort of doubt they took a two-day trip to Bree for these drinks?

Thanks much, bb! I'll change that detail :)

Most welcome!

Honestly, I didn't even catch it when I got the notif in my inbox that you'd posted, it took until I saw it again on my reading page for my brain to go 'um wait what?'

Truly wonderful fic though, I really, really love it and also oh, Poor Frodo.
