| The epilogue was rather jarring compared to the rest of the story. When did Gandalf cloud his memories? Why was this, rather important, element get introduced only in the last chapter (this is what made it so jarring)? It didn't seem to be referenced during the previous chapter concerning the council.... Author Reply: Thank you for your review, Eirinn. I only know that when my friend offered this piece of writing to me, I felt it belonged to the end of this tale. I'm very happy that this tale is still being discovered and read. | |

| I just finished re-reading this wonderful seqeul to "Quarantined" and I think I loved it even more the second time around. The relationships between all the hobbits and Aragorn are a joy, but especially between that of Frodo and Aragorn. I can't get enough of it. Author Reply: Oh Addie, thank you so much! I remember how much time and research went into this story. It was a journey I'll never forget! I adore Frodo and Aragorn friendship stories, and was so happy to be able to imagine the "Quarantined" storyline all the way to Rivendell... and beyond. *smooches you* | |

| I'm doing a re-read through your stories and just had to say how much I'm loving them all, especially this one and Quarantined. Author Reply: Oh my, thank you! I've enjoyed writing every one of these stories so very much. | |

| This was an AWESOME story! I've read quite a few of your other stories, and I enjoy all of them. I think you're a very talented writer. Keep up the good work! Author Reply: Thank you so much, Pipmer!! And thank you for the nominations you made for my stories for the MEFA awards. I truly appreciate that so much.

| Oh, it was an AWFUL thing to do--so awful and yet the right thing, the only thing that could induce Aragorn to let Frodo do what he needed to do. And the memories are released now for Aragorn, and for Frodo now as well? Dear Frodo, finally awakening to find love there for him. Author Reply: I just had to end this story with a moment of joy and wonder, for Estel and his "little one". Thank you so much for reading, Larner. | |

| WOW! Gentle Hobbit and Shirebound... what a combination! That was completely unexpected and really cool! :) I think Gandalf was wise to do it... even though Aragorn would obviously be furious. What an interesting twist to the story... I liked it! :) Author Reply: Thank you, Dayna. I appreciate all your reviews, and your enthusiasm. (And I did receive your e-mail, but haven't had a chance to respond yet!) :D | |

| Oh Shirebound! I just love this "Quarrentined" universe! I've read "Quarrentined," "Reflections of the Past," "Estel's Birthday," and this story, and I can't tell you how much I love all of them! I'll just have to check out the other two...I just couldn't wait any longer to get to this one. :-) I'm not in the least surprised at your getting so many wonderful reviews! Keep it up! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Thank you so much! I love this "universe" as well. Whenever things get too angsty, I find myself writing more of this peaceful, loving little world. I'm so happy you're enjoying it. :D | |

| haiz...how weird is it that some of the best writers i know are fanfiction writers? this community of lotr fanfic writers are simply the most talented bunch and i'm honoured to be a part of it - even just as a reviewer. that story was simply lovely. and i must say that some of your writings have influenced the way i think and write too. Author Reply: I do believe that LOTR inspires the best in us, and it's an honor to be part of it. Thank you so much for your lovely review, and for taking the time to tell me how much you're enjoying the stories. | |
