How wonderful! I'm so glad Dreamflower pointed me to this story. This is a delightful scene.

I enjoyed all of these pieces but this last one left me with a smile on my face, tears in my eyes and joy in my heart. How very, very lovely!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful little fics with us!

I'm positive I left feedback at one time for this lovely gift! Perhaps on your LJ?

At any rate, it's quite amiss of me to have never left it here as well! This was a wonderful conversation, with Gandalf at his most exasperatingly Gandalf-est! Yet, all in all, he got what he wanted.

*sigh* Lucky wizard. Wish I could just ask for a hobbit or two...

The Gandalf story is cute, too. I love that conversation with his boss and the thunder in the distance and the wind in reaction to the words. I like Gandalf's wish.

Author Reply: LOL, I never thought of it as a 'conversation with his boss', though it certainly is, isn't it? I'm glad for Gandalf's wish, but I wonder if Manwe knew what he was setting himself up for with letting Hobbits into Valinor, even in the outer fringe. ^_^

A fantastic moment, drawing on the gentleness and the fullness and humor and the compassion of which Gandalf of all wizards was capable.

Two he would take with him, with the hope that a third might come after....

Author Reply: Thank you very much, sweets :-) I really want to explore Gandalf's character more, particularly pre-Middle Earth, but he's a rather tricky one ^_^

And I suppose that, with Bilbo and Frodo going, it made sense to let Sam follow after as well. I think Gandalf had only the Baggins' health in mind at this point, though.

So that's how Frodo and Bilbo were permitted to sail... I'm glad Gandalf struck while the iron was hot and grabbed the chance offered him.

Author Reply: Teeheee, that he did! I mean, who wouldn't want a Hobbit or two to look after? *squishes hobbits* Thanks for reviewing, sweets.

Now that is a grand take on why Frodo and Sam are allowed to go West! I enjoyed this!!!

Author Reply: Thank you very much! It came out of a bout of silliness, really, but I think it's perfectly possible that they were allowed passaged because Gandalf asked it for them :-)
