| And I rejoice she agreed to go with him. How hard it would have been for him to go wholly on his own! Author Reply: It would have been difficult-- but I think the two of them will really remember this journey together! | |

| Elves for Yule, what a delightful surprise! I liked how you had Celebrons write "now of Imladris" and "formerly of Lothlórien " - that was a touching detail. And what a wonderful prospect. I'd like to be invited to Rivendell to do a research project in their library! I'm a little disappointed, though, that Merry didn't ask Celandine to accompany him. Perhaps in the next chapter... Author Reply: I thought it would be fun to have Elves show up for Yule! I consulted pandemonium_213 about Celeborn's letter to see what she thought of it, and the "formerly of Lothlórien " part was her idea! (I'm not much of an Elf expert, so her perspective was quite useful!) | |

| I love the first chapter with the desire and need that Frodo and the whole tale be remembered. Dear me, Frodo ninety already! Love the surety that Sam and Merry have that he is still alive. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I think that Merry (and Pippin and Sam) would always feel the need to make sure Frodo was remembered and validated. This is year 37 of the Fourth Age-- 40 years after the Quest began when Frodo was 50. 90 is really not so great an age for a hobbit, but it's going to seem a dreadfully long time to his friends who said good-bye to him so long ago. Somehow, I think Sam would rarely have any doubts, but I think that Merry might have them a little more often. He's an optimist (as all the travellers were) but somehow I think he is also not quite as confident in that as Sam and Pippin are. But most of the time he'd still have faith, and on those occasions he falters, both Sam and Pippin would buck him up. | |
