The Ring needs to be destroyed! Aarrgghh! If only Gandalf would appear, he could maybe set things right again. Although now things of course, are more difficult. It would be too late for Gondor and Rohan. And then there is trying to get the Ring to Mordor now without running across the enemy, which would be nigh on impossible now that Galadriel has given Sauron the impetus to move forward in his attack.

Again, poor Boromir! He goes on alone to try to aid his homeland. sniff! What will he find once there. Please have someone for him to go home to.
Still the Hobbits are not sure that all is right with the Ring not being destroyed. I cannot wait to read about Elrond's reaction to Galadriel holding the One Ring. I don't think he is going to like it at all. And poor Aragorn must be the one to break the news to him. aaeeii!

The breaking of the Fellowship was sad to see at the end, but at least it wasn't the end of Boromir. Surely we will see all of the Walkers back together again at some point. Gah! Such a horrible sense of impending doom that Boromir and Frodo both share is felt by the readers also. Will Boromir return home to find that home is over-run with the enemy and decide to gather father and seriously injured brother and try to get them out of Gondor?
And what about Aragorn? I don't see him giving up on Gondor either!
Aaeeii! You absolutely MUST update soon! please!

I just wanted to say that I am enjoying this story and eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

I especially liked Aragorn's subtle reactions in this chapter--I imagine there must be some really conflicting emotions going on there: Here's Galadriel as this ancient, wise, already incredibly powerful figure that he's accustomed to respecting and trusting, and then she accepts the Ring, which might have an even stronger resonance as an evil, duplicitous thing with Aragorn than with others of the company, considering his...family history. Similar feelings would probably be shared, to some extent, by many of those at this council, though, and you portrayed that hidden tension well.

Heehee, sorry for my run-on sentences. It all boils down to, "good job!"

Look who's here, indeedy.

This is one of my favorite pieces of yours, along with Alliance and Bodysnatcher (I was kind of surprised to see you didnt like the last one as much as the others...) The What-If is very well depicted, and I enjoyed seeing the 'little people's view on this. Now Frodo and Sam are back to being simple hobbits, though they have had a great honor (that few will be appreciative of I suppose), and the members of the Fellowship will scatter. Or not. Am looking forward to seeing the next chapters, whenever your uni and original projects allow you to.

Author Reply: Bodysnatcher fights me tooth and claw for every chapter. My muses are just extremely bad tempered on that one, lol.

Thank you so much for your support though - especially with the Hobbity parts in this I was kind of nervous, since I've never tackled any Hobbits before really. Funny how with uni though, the more study I have, the more inclined I am to write fanfic...

Hope your course is going well
