Sam and the Other both impel him to live, and so he reaches at last, chosing life. | |

I'm so glad you continued this!!!!! I really love what you did with the scene depicting the destruction of the Ring. It's wonderful, Antane! Your words and imagery are so very powerful and provoke the deepest of emotions. Frodo grabbed onto a ledge. He didn’t know why he had. He felt he had been almost pushed there, as though a firm hand at his back held him there. Let me go, he pleaded. No. I want you to live. Can’t I be with you? Live for the goodness that is now safe in the world because you came here and the Ring is gone. Live for Mr. Merry and Mr. Pippin and Strider who’s going to be King! They are all right because the Ring is gone, because you found them all worth fighting for and you won. And Mr. Gandalf - he’s alive! Oh, my dear, don’t die now. Faramir came to the edge and looked straight into Frodo’s ravaged soul. He dropped to his stomach and reached down his hand. Reach! It was both a command and an impassioned plea. Frodo obeyed both. I observed that this is still listed as 'In Progress'; I can hardly wait to see what you decide to do with the rest! Well done! Namarie, Antane Author Reply: Hannon le! You must really take a lot of the credit for giving me all those neat ideas! So glad you enjoyed. I was hoping you would. More is indeed coming - I am dying to be a fly on the wall when Gandalf and Frodo have that conversation about death - but it's going to be a little bit of a wait I think. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

Wow. What a wonderful ending! I am so glad that Sam really was there for Frodo, but your alternative was amazing and powerful. Frodo grabbed onto a ledge. He didn’t know why he had. He felt he had been almost pushed there, as though a firm hand at his back held him there. Let me go, he pleaded. No. I want you to live. Can’t I be with you? Live for the goodness that is now safe in the world because you came here and the Ring is gone. Live for Mr. Merry and Mr. Pippin and Strider who’s going to be King! They are all right because the Ring is gone, because you found them all worth fighting for and you won. And Mr. Gandalf - he’s alive! Oh, my dear, don’t die now. d powerful. That brought tears to my eyes! Oh my goodness. But hannon le. hanon le. Namarie! God Bless, IM mil le, Frodo Baggins | |

*tear* that was very good, very angsty! And so sad. Poor Frodo... God bless, Ellie Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! I am glad you are enjoying, though every time I think that I think it's strange to say that for such angst, but such is life at times in this vale of tears and in such a crucible of suffering as Frodo and Sam really did go through are heroes forged. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

Another well integrated movie moment. And indeed the two presences remain by him. Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear Larner! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

Oh, wow! This is just heartbreaking and so very powerful. I like what you added to that dramatic incident with Gollum, too. I wish he could have lived-maybe Frodo would have found some healing in helping him heal, but I guess maybe that's stretching things a little far. "Live for Mr. Merry and Mr. Pippin and Strider who's going to be king!...." Oh, this whole little speech is just like Sam. I'm very interested to see where this goes-you've taken me by surprise and I can't even guess. :) God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Hantanyel, ammelda! So glad you are enjoying and loved your birthday gift so much. I do aim to please. :) Got your lovely, long email too that I hope to respond to soon! Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Antane | |
