| That is one of the most poignant things to imagine for me-that last look. You capture it beautifully. The mixed emotions, the pain and peace, the dread of the final farewells, and something else I can't really describe. Yes, he did it all for them, and the Shire was better for what he--and they all--did. God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Thank you--those are exactly the feelings I wanted to convey in this one. | |

| Very sad, and very true. Years ago during my first few readings, I didn't give Frodo the credit he deserved in his painful decision. Both the movies and fanfic have helped me realize his sacrifice, his loss, and how much he truly desrved healing where he could get it. Wonderfully done. Pippinfan Author Reply: Thank you very much! Frodo gave up so very much, so that the Shire and those he loved could live lives free of the evil he'd encountered and overcome. All four of them did, but only Frodo was so wounded that he could no longer live his own life in the Shire. | |

| Yes, very much in keeping with my own vision of Frodo. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I think that we see him in the same way. I have always felt that Frodo was happiest when he was thinking of, and doing for, others, and keeping his mind off himself. I believed this was true even before the Quest to a certain extent, but it most certainly was true afterward. A high compliment coming from you--you have very high standards for Frodo! | |

| O, Dreamflower... this was so lovely! I was really there, I could see the moon and feel the air and the wind... lovely. Author Reply: Oh thank you! That is such a nice compliment! | |

| "They would be all right. They had to be. He had done it all for them, after all." That's just perfect! Frodo's intentions and thoughts summed up in three short sentences! He went on his quest to save the Shire, but he saved Middle Earth. But that's not important for Frodo. For him it only counts that the Shire, his friends and family are save. Is there a little doubt in the second sentence? He has not to worry, he has to do something good for himself now. They will be alright! Thank you for this little story! Author Reply: Thank *you* for the lovely review! Frodo has always found his happiness in doing for others, but now even that is hard come by. He does worry, but at this point, he knows it is now or never--he can go, and stand a chance at healing, or he can stay and inflict his suffering and likely death on those he cares about. They *will* be all right. But they will never cease to miss and mourn him. | |

| This is beautiful. I love your description of the wind and the moonlight--it feels as though I'm there. And that last line really gets me. It sums up the whole of his story so perfectly... Blessings, Eruanna Author Reply: Thank you1 Isil had asked for Frodo, just before he left, perhaps standing on a hill. I thought night time would be most appropriate. Frodo has by this time, become almost Elven himself, a creature of starlight and moonlight. It is the whole of his story: his selflessness and his love were all that kept the pain at bay; and to my mind it goes long before the Ring to the loss of his parents. All his life, he was happiest when he was taking care of other people: his cousins and friends, the Shire, and finally the whole of Middle-earth. | |
