FIC: "Celebration" (G/K) by Febobe

[febobe.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: N43, Hobbits (The Gamgees)
Format: Ficlet
Title: Celebration
Genre: Gen
Rating: G/K
Warnings: Mild angst in places, graphic food detail
Characters: Bell Gamgee, Daisy Gamgee, May Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, Marigold Gamgee, Gaffer Gamgee, Halfred Gamgee, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins
Pairings: N/A
Summary: During Frodo's first autumn at Bag End, Bell Gamgee invites "Mr. Bilbo" and "Master Frodo" for dinner...and new friendships are formed.
Author's Notes: I don't hold to the theory that Frodo was totally heedless of social place at this point in his life, so no, I don't have him tell Sam to just call him Frodo. This fic reflects how conscious I think these hobbits would be about "place" and social standing, as well as Bilbo's and Frodo's sensitivities to the fact that not everyone was as fortunate financially as they. Also, my Frodo is definitely movieverse Frodo. Please don't burn me at the stake for it! :)
