| This was a beautiful story, so well written. Greenjade is an amazing character you created, as are all of your characters. As the biggest Smeagol fan, I really love that he was given a second chance and found the redemption he deserved. Still, his death broke my heart, but it was so beautifully written. It was a peaceful passing, and he died happy and loved by many whom he loved in return. Amazing story. Just beautiful! Made me cry. Tiffany Author Reply: Hi Tiffany! I never saw this until just now. I'm usually notified when I get a review. This time, I wasn't, or if I was, somehow I missed seeing it. It was a lovely surprise. Thanks so much for your kind words, they're a delight to me. I think this is my own favorite of all my LOTR fanfics. So glad you loved it, and hope you'll look back on it once in a while. Thanks once again, and God bless! ~~~~{~@ Armariel/RoZita | |

| And thanks for this, too! Author Reply: Most welcome! It's a good thing to have a list like this accompanying a long story, I've come to find..... ~~~~~{~@ | |

| A perfect epilogue for this. And I rejoice that it is a daughter, and so reminiscent of her aunt! Now all rejoice that the memory of the daughter lost is given them. And I'm certain Frodo stood at Greenjade's shoulder to watch in joy at that moment! Thank you so! Author Reply: Most welcome......I've long wished I could give Elrond and Celebrian back their daughter somehow and this was the closest I could come to doing so...especially since they won't be meeting any of Arwen's children either. So, now she'll live on through her niece, and who knows...it's fantasy, anything can happen, right?;) And perhaps Frodo did watch with Greenjade, at that...and his family and Elrond's and Galadriel's are joined through marriage! How cool is that? Odd too that Sauron's blood also is probably in the mix........ Thanks so for commenting Larner! ~~~~~{~@ | |

| I love that song for Smeagol from the last chapter and how nice that Greenjade got back home at last. Was hoping to see Frodo but ah well... Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I thought of squeezing him in somewhere, but it seemed a little redundant. Ah well, at least we got to see Sam.:) Thanks much for R&R'ing Antane! I always appreciate your comments.:):):) hugs Armariel ~~~~~~{~@ | |

| Twins named Frodo and Sam (or the Elvish equivalent) - how cute! What else could they be called? :) Unless Merry and Pippin. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Legolas and Gimli?;);) | |

| I'm glad that Smeagol had a good and long and fulfilling life. I understand Meleth's fears for her husband and son; but it is the grief she accepted in marrying him. So, Garland came, too, eh? It does sound as if she has also had a wonderful life now! Yes, they are each taking what is given. And Bryseluthea is a flirt, is she? Oh, dear! Author Reply: Yes, Smeagol's second death was the complete opposite of the first one, what? And Meleth did go into the union with her eyes open, although I doubt she was totally aware of what she was letting herself in for. Still, I don't think she would go back for a moment. And much as I would have liked to punish Garland a little, the muse had a different plan for her, it seems..... Bryseluthea *is* a bit of a flirt, but she has a heart of gold underneath it, I'm sure, and her feelings for Elrohir are sincere without a doubt. OK, one more chapter to go! What am I going to do now???? Thanks so much for keeping up and commenting Larner! ~~~~~{~@ | |

| A lovely visit, but a sad end to the day. I'm sorry that Smeagol was uncomfortable with Sam, but it is understandable. Author Reply: Yes....it can't be ALL joy, can it? | |

| How nice that things are progressing so well for everyone! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Great balls of fire, every time I think the next chapter is going to be the last, the muse raps me on the knuckles saying "Not yet!" Oh well! On to the next! LOL Thanks for commenting and keeping up Antane! ~~~~~{~@ | |

| I'm going to guess--Sam, Merry, and Pippin? Or maybe three Ents? Satisfying! Author Reply: Heheh......we'll see.....soon, I hope! (I don't really think ents would be likely to go to Minas Tirith, do you?) I'm glad you find it satisfying:) ~~~~~{~@ | |

| So--many of those twisted by Morgoth and Sauron now are healed and have fought Sauron's former allies, have they? Excellent! And they now have lands that they are partly familiar with for their own? Very good. As for the now-dead Easterling--I hate to say he got what he deserved! | |
