This is so interesting and unlike any other story I have every read. Great job. (I always have cardinals in my back year, both male and female.)

Author Reply: Glad you found this interesting. I was quite surprised at the tale. Had a good time writing it too. Very glad you enjoyed it.

Blessings.

An unusual story and very moving. Great idea well told. Thank you.

Author Reply: I'm so very glad this little tale moved you. I was paying it forward to a friend who had always sustained me.

The idea was unusual for me.

Thank you!

*happy sigh* He made it! I loved this story - it grabbed me and relentlessly pulled me along with it - from hope, to despair, to resignation and through pain and fear to hope again. An absolute gem of an AU.

Author Reply: Bless you! I am so very glad it touched you. Sorry about the pulling. I hope there were no rope burns *g*

*happy sigh*

Through the mists in safety! Hooray! Even if he is among the Valar, he KNOWS he is safe! And the cardinals still sing for him!

Author Reply: I wrote an epilogue to this to explain exactly what happened. It was too sad. I'm glad I left it like this. All scenarios are correct.

Thanks ever so much for reading and leaving comments. They sustain me.

What a wonderful ending/beginning. Not only the cardinals, but the sound of beloved horns welcomed him back. I enjoyed this very much.

Author Reply: Thank you. I most enjoyed writing it. But the best part was to come full circle - to end up with the cardinals. Made my day, I'll tell you that.

Bless you for your comments. They are appreciated.

Amd so Boromir made it through the mists alive. Yay! Great story, Agape, full of humor and bittersweetness and a happy ending. What more can anyone hope for? *grin* Thanks for posting this. It was a delight.

Author Reply: *blushes*
