| It think that your reconciliation worked brilliantly... :-) BTW, I loved the story about turning Elladan green, and now every time Pippin sees him, he laughs. Bound to made Elladan a little jumpy... :-P Author Reply: I absolutely loved writing Pippin and Merry in this story. The more I write about the characters, the more I feel I know them, and appreciate everything about them. | |

| No, definitely not long enough since Bilbo saw it last, not long enough by half. And the relationships are so very well drawn out and clear.... Author Reply: Thank you so much. | |

| Here we are; I very much like your take on Rivendell. And it's nice to have the twins on the spot, so to speak. It's a shame they were away in the book, but your AU makes up for it. We seem to have another rather subtle departure due to your AU--no one is surprised to see Bilbo, since Aragorn has already told them about him being there. I love that Pippin is the first to encounter him. | |

| When you write comfort it's so very . . . comfortable. You've achieved a soft, peaceful feel in this chapter that is just how I imagine Rivendell to be. | |

| wow... this was better than expected, Shirebound! I am soo glad that you included conversations between the hobbits and the elves as well... The last part about the Ring and Bilbo is praise-worthy as well too. and i'm glad you haven't made it "angsty" yet..hehe... It's light so far and it's a contrast to other "before Frodo wakes in Rivendell" stories that i've read which is quite refreshing =) Great job, i look forward to reading more as always =) hanned le, ~Elentari | |

| I enjoyed seeing things through Pippin's eyes. I couldn't help laughing as he rushed from subject to subject - hyper, excited, irrepresible tweenager! I am sure that a young hobbit is just the thing to liven up a house that hasn't had many children, perhaps not since Estel himself. But, they are fed, bathed and clothed - and we just need to see what is to be done about Frodo now. I am glad to see some humor and interest in things despite Frodo's condition - I think that is likely realistic in the nature of all the races there. | |

| Oh Shirebound, this story continues to delight! Please continue, the hobbits in Moria, the hobbits in Lothlorien, the hobbits meet Gimli and Gloin for the first time... I cannot wait! One thing I must share, even if I am not sure this is an altogether good thing, but with the line: “Special,” Elrond murmured to himself. “Indeed he is.” my Lord Elrond took a Holiday and Hugo Weaving popped in to take his place. Complete with the rising cresendo that accompanied "And you shall be the fellowship of the ring" *shudder* (I loathed that movie moment) It seems my minds-eye Tolkien elves are slowly but surely being replaced by Peter Jackson versions. :) Not that I am objecting totally as Legolas looks quite darling as a blonde (I'd always thought he was dark for some reason, But I am quite happy with my Elladan and Elrohir which fitted quite charmingly into your portrayal of them :) To conclude this ramble, Shirebound, while I have enjoyed all your tales I must admit that this is quickly turning into my favourite! Thank you for sharing! | |

| Those lost two chapters were lovely. I'm so glad they've made it safely to Rivendell, and your descriptions of it almost made me feel like I'd just arrived after a long, long journey. And I'm pleased to see Bilbo too and am looking forward to the sharing of stories as much as the hobbits. Sorry I have been so slack with reviews lately. My internet access is erratic at best these days. NM | |
