A hugs and cuddles post for everyone who needs it.

[rodneyscat]

Here's a bunch of recs to fics that always cheer me up, make me warm. Comfort fics (all of them PG or PG-13) I turn to for ehm, well, comfort. There are more, of course, as there are also way more cuddly pics *points down*. But this is what I grabbed together while scanning quickly through my pics, and the fics I have saved to my computer. Feel free to add your own recs and/or pics in the comments.

What a lovely post!!! Thank you my dear, I saved all of it... bedtime-stories for the next days, pictures for my scrapbook (printed of course).
A wonderful New Year to you with love and lights and happines!! *hugs you*

Oh! I've resized some of those pics, because they're all old ones and I didn't think anyone would do anything else but just look (and sigh happily), but if you like bigger versions of some I could give you those.

Have a good shift from 2005 to 2006 :D

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Really??!! Bigger versions would be great, they are better for getting posters. You are too kind!!! Thank you my dear. *huggsies*

The quickest way for me was to put them in a zipped file. If you have trouble with unzipping I can upload them separately later tomorrow.

You can download it here: (7.6 MB) (http://www.xs4all.nl/~dutche/comfort%20spam.zip)

There are 16 pics in there, 4 bigger versions from the pic spam in this entry (Casey/Stokely, Billy/Dom at ORC, Peter/Elijah and Elijah/Orlando) and I've put 12 other pics in there that I thought you might find interesting (Viggo/Orlando, Elijah/Dom, hobbits 'n Orli, 3 more Casey/Stokely, another Peter/Elijah, Billy/Elijah, Elijah/Viggo, Dom/Orlando and 2 more from the Elijah/Orlando jump).

I downloaded it, it worked. Now - I.AM.DEAD. Thank you so much honey, I love it. I can see the posters on my walls right now *sigh* and *hugs hugs hugs*

[primula-baggins.livejournal.com]

Awwww, I loved this. I kept telling myself to tell you "I love this pic", then I'd see another and say "I love this pic", when I got to the bottom I realized I love them ALL!

Thanks for the warm cuddles. Same to you too.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah!! Yeah, I get that often with pic spam. And with fics too for that matter; it's so often I plan to copy/paste my favorite bits, and then find out I might just as well copy/paste the whole fic...

*All smiley for that little story of mine being on your list*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

It's one of those fics that have me smiling all the way through, and you know I have a thing for your Frodo :D

Thanks for the list of comfort fics and cuddly pics... just what I needed today! And here is one of my favorite comforts fics, which I'm sure you're familiar with:

That is such warm and comforting story, one of the best domestic fics ever imho. Thank you for pointing it out here!

Lovely cuddle-spam, darling dutche!

I hope you'll have a warm, wonderful New Year-
and I do hope to see you again soon-
and to be able to talk to you, unlike last time, heh.

The same wishes to you too! Just a couple of more hours to go, and it's 2006 :D
