| Those poems are so adorable! I love the relationship between Frodo and Sam, and you really show both of their sweet personalities. The "Gray Havens" chapter always breaks my heart...but it's wonderful that they get together at last in Valinor. That's just like Tolkein, to make an ending both incredibly sad and beautifully happy at the same time! You did a good job showing both emotions and I liked the rhyming. I could imagine two people performing this piece, going back and forth. | |

| No one has a clue as to how Frodo and Sam found healing in the West, and that's the marvel of it! Fan fiction can be so much fun at times... I do like to think of Sam's speech and vocabulary improving over the years--for one thing I think that thirteen children would have necessitated an increase of ones denoting frustration! Ah. This is the last Eucatastrophe in a tale so fraught with sorrow. Author Reply: Hello Celeritas, Indeed: the last in a tale so fraught with sorrow, so you can imagine who jappy I am to be finished writing them (they were quite depressing at times). But they're done and dusted now! Sam would have been one of the most educated hobbits in the Shire by the time he left, indeed, but the word still felt a bit odd to use (for any hobbit actually - 'extract' doesn't strike me as very hobbit-ty). Thanks for reading and reviewing throughout this tale! M :) | |

| Lovely, as always. Especially... As long as I can turn and see Your glowing Light is next to me If you're interested, I wrote a story exploring my own idea as to what form Frodo's healing took, which is at this archive: "The Path to Healing". Two others are "Sing Me Home" and the AU "Healed". Author Reply: Hello Shirebound, Thanks (as always) for reading and reviewing, I'm glad you enjoyed! I'll need to give your healing fics a visit to see what you think happened to our trusty hobbits in Valinor! Thank you for your support and all the best to you! M ;) | |

| Sam is far more knowledgable than he appears, I think. He's had years to read and write and expand on his vocabulary, I think. After all, it's been forty years since he last saw his Mr. Frodo. And the two of them must have been so happy to spend their final days there in that beautiful place, together. Author Reply: Hi Larner, yes, Sam is surely nobody's fool! Especially after his trials, not to mention the company he keeps and his own life experiences (and many they were). I'm sure Sam & Frodo spent the rest of their days in a blissful haze on Tol Eressea. May we all be as lucky one day! Hope you liked it! Thanks for reviewing. M :) | |
