An endearing glimpse of Aragorn the unwilling statesman. :) Sacrifices must be made by all. "And Gimli is still choking on his beer." Haha! A great story overall ~ *They're calling me for dinner!*

Thank you for wading through to the end and taking the time to review.
Acceptance and contentment- it is good to know that they could all find that in the end.

This was a moving picture of people after the adventures are over and daily life has to be lived with all its duties. Rewards and joys too, of course, but also a sense of loss for what they all had before they went through the fire together. I've always thought that LOTR had a melancholy tone to it overall, that there wasn't really a happy ending as we usually think of one. This tale caught that mixture of sadness and satisfaction nicely. Well done.

Yes, just about everbody had to lose something or someone in the struggle for victory.


I feel quite lost now that this story has come to an end!

Many thanks.
