| *smiles* That's nice.... :-) Wonderful story! You know.... I'm a little torn about what I think the twins' choice might actually have been (you know...if they were real. :-P) I really think their hearts might have been with Men ... but then I think that would just be too unfair to Elrond and Celebrian, to be so separated from all of their children. I have trouble imagining either way... In any case... I really enjoyed this, thanks for writing! Author Reply: Thank you. :) Three cheers for fanfic, which lets us explore every possible scenario. I've read stories with the twins staying, leaving, and even going their separate ways! | |

| I'm very late with reading and commenting, but better late than never I hope. What a lovely way to bring the story to a close, with dear Gimli and Legolas arriving in the West! Though it's sad to think of Bilbo's passing, it's a wonderful idea for an Eagle to leave him on the mountain. Very fitting! I'm glad Frodo and Sam aren't ready to go quite yet and hope they share many a mug of ale with Gimli!! Thank you! Author Reply: Thank you so much! For an epilogue I hadn't even planned, and which was re-written more times than I can count, I was really happy with the way the story concluded. I suspect that Gimli, Frodo, and Sam will enjoy many years of talk, laughter, good food, and (of course) good drink. :) | |

| What a lovely final chapter, my dear! How wonderful that Frodo and Sam would still be alive to welcome their friends and loved also where Bilbo asked to be buried and Frodo's trust that he will see his beloved cousin/uncle again. Sorry it's taken so long to read but I gave up hobbity reading for an Advent sacrifice and so here I am celebrating that being over with your story. Thanks for this Christmas present :) Merry Merry! Christ is born! Glorify Him! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I'm honored that you broke your 'fast' with my story, Antane, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the ending. Merry Christmas and Joyous Yule to you! | |

| That is such a lovely image, Frodo and Sam singing Vingalot home. Huggs and Scrits, Lynda Author Reply: Thank you, Lynda! I tried to bring a lot of special moments into this Epilogue. Our hobbits deserve every happiness. *hugs you* | |

| It took me far too long to finally read this epilogue, but what a lovely experience it was. The reunion between Gimli and the Hobbits was just perfect. I love Gimli's mock exasperation that even here in the West he cannot escape hobbits! A perfect ending to a wonderful tale... thank you for gracing us with it! Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words. Gimli's 'mock exasperation' was the first part of the chapter I wrote; everything else expanded from that one line! It's such a pleasure to bring a happy and gentle closure to this story. | |

| '“Hobbits are full of surprises,” Frodo said, winking at Gandalf.' Just one of so many wonderful lines from this wonderful tale ns this last instalment was simply perfect. Thank you so much for sharing these final journeys with us. Author Reply: What a joy to share these journeys, and give Sam such a grand adventure! I'm so grateful to make my small contributions to the Professor's wonderful Tale. | |

| Oh, Shirebound, I am so very glad to have gotten to finally read all of this story. I'm sitting here in a kitchen filled with the smell of ginger cookies baking, and yet in my heart, I'm on Tol Eressea welcoming Gimli to his next and final home, with Frodo and Sam and Galadriel. I particularly loved how Galadriel was the first one he saw when he arrived, and how Legolas made sure that Gimli was the first off of the ship so he could greet her. Bilbo's final resting place was wonderful! I don't think I've ever read of him being laid to his final rest anywhere than Tol Eressea before, but this feels so very right! :) It's a lovely, wonderful thing that you've created with this story, and I'm going to come re-read it over and over again. Thank you so very much for sharing this lovely vision with all of us. Well done! Author Reply: What a lovely review! Thank you so much for highlighting many parts of this chapter you enjoyed. When I finished chapter 9 I thought the story was complete, but now there's definite closure. I greatly appreciate your your kind words. and yet in my heart, I'm on Tol Eressea... I hope we both have lovely dreams tonight, of this wonderful place that welcomed our beloved friends to their new home. I feel very privileged any time I can add something to the Professor's exquisite tale. *hugs you* | |
