Friend Ship  by shirebound 10 Review(s)
NurayyReviewed Chapter: 1 on 2/22/2021
Dear shirebound, this was such a sweet story. I loved how they both worry and care about the wellbeing of the other. A time of melancholy about all they left, about so much that has passed and the insecurity of what will await them. The hope that the Hobbits are there to welcome them, brings such joy. And the sight of the colourful ship arriving to the shore is such a great image. Well-painted!
Stay safe

Author Reply: Thank you, I'm delighted you enjoyed this. I've been writing about friendships within the Fellowship for nearly 20 years, including several Gimli - Legolas tales, and will never tire of writing or reading about our beloved characters. Bless the Professor for gifting us with such a rich and wonderful world.

This is delightful! *grin* I love your logic about the hobbits still being there, and I love how Legolas and Gimli kept busy on the voyage!

A "Friend Ship" indeed! (I love literal titles!)

Author Reply: In my fanfic world, the hobbits are most certainly still there, and it's fun to come up with various explanations for it. I'm delighted you enjoyed this 'friend ship'! I can't imagine Gimli just stomping around the deck with nothing to occupy his time. :)

Oliphaunt kites! How beautiful! Sam will like them, I'm sure.

Thank you very much and happy belated birthday to you :-)

Author Reply: Thanks, Andrea! :)

I can just imagine Sam's delight when he sees those kites.

Oh! They did olophaunt kites! How delightful! And how glad Frodo and Sam will be to greet them and to receive such gifts! Love it!

Author Reply: *beams* I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Whatever the elves of the West may have experienced, or believed, about dwarves, Gimli is unique, and I just know he would have found a good home there, oliphaunts and all!

What a sweet story! Friend Ship indeed and I love what Frodo and Sam will come to see, all those kites, and the other gifts. Love also the friendship of Elf and Dwarf and Gimli's thoughts.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)


Author Reply: Thank you so much. This is the sweet sailing that I wish for all of them, and a joyous welcome on the other side. :)

Love it! :-) Especially the ending bit, with all the kites in the wind ... I can just picture it. Such a great little story -- thanks for writing!

Author Reply: I wish I could draw all those colorful kites flying from the ship! I loved writing this and am so happy you like it. :)

I loved this glimpse of the voyage and these two friends with their concern for each other.
