The Grey at the End of the World  by jodancingtree 4 Review(s)

A little tenderness, exactly what we were needing. The child's been a true blessing, as we all hoped he would, and poor Logi's pubsihment is still oging on....I cringed when he understood that the hobbits thought that it was Canohando killing his own people, when it was him! How guilt must be eating at him!
YEt the hobbit at the end spoke much as Radgast would have, didn't he? I almost thought it was him at first! Your hobbits are extraordinadily hobbity, jo, and it was with such dgnity again that he let them remain and give their help, ieven if they did not needed it anymore.... I was thinking about a line in the prologue I believe of LOTR, when Tolkien says that they still live among us... so the point here is what about the guardinas and their lot in ME? Lovely, lovely chapter, thanks!

Logi and his son got me all choked up! Maybe he won’t need the Brown Wizard for his salvation after all…

And love the Hobbit. Fled the Marish, eh? Well there may be no more Buckland, but surely there are Brandybucks. Is this one, perchance?


Author Reply: Canohando isn't ready to believe it, but all the love he poured into his grandson has not been for nothing. Where else did Logi learn to be a father? And I'm guessing the Hobbit might be a Brandybuck - he has the humor and shrewd common sense of his famous ancestor.

So the baby is elven-fair. And the hobbits are looking after Logi as much as the reverse.

The hobbits are proving very good at hiding. Which can only be a good thing. I look forward to seeing what happens here.

Author Reply: Hi, Bodkin! Yes, they are looking after him, aren't they? I hadn't thought about that. Hobbits are very faithful about paying their debts. I'm glad you're enjoying this.

Ah the ever surprising hobbits, taken to hiding to the manor born, and cannier than anyone would think. I wonder who is protecting whome here?
Nice chapter Jo.

Author Reply: Thanks, Rose. And when you think about it, even in the beginning, Frodo, Sam and Pippin hid instinctively from the Black Rider.
