West of the Moon, East of the Sun  by Armariel 2 Review(s)

Fair and wondrous indeed. Love that thought and that it was rebuilt, after being destroyed twice now. That is also a testament to Frodo's own strength. Pity Smeagol's house never was.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: There had to be healing in the knowledge that the lessons and examples he taught to his own stepchildren did not go for naught, and the application of such would prove his own salvation. As for Smeagol...well, we'll see, precioussssss....:D

Ah, how wondrous to see the healing properties of understanding and mercy. A horrible trick, but the results of all have made a blessing of it in spite of the horror and terror of the time.

And love to see Frodo shining so before the brother of his heart.

Author Reply: Yes, and so Northlight heals his stepfather's spirit by applying the exact lessons Frodo taught him in the first place, and it works miracles for all. Even at his age and after all he has seen and been through, Sam still has much to discover. And so the Blessed Realm is not blessed because nothing bad can happen there, but because blessings continue to come forth from the bad that does happen.

And so Frodo will keep shining until his final hour. Thanks so much for commenting!
