Didn't Frodo almost name Scamp Anna? Seems like a good name... :-)

What a wonderful story -- it may be my favorite of the whole series. Such joy and fellowship, and they're able to live in peace now. Thanks so much for writing this final story in the set!

Author Reply: Thank you! It's still amazing to me that I had one more "Q" story in me. This one was quite a challenge. What a joy to know that folks are still enjoying it.

Thank you so much for this lovely story. I would love to read a sequel about the return visit one day!

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I never know where this "Q"-verse will take me!

Merry Christmas, my dear, and Happy Yule/New Year! Christ is born! Glorify Him!

Sorry, it took so long to get to this, been so busy. Those are mighty gifts indeed that were exchanged to go with mighty trust and friendship. Glad to see that.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: A sweet review is a lovely Yule gift!

Joyous Christmas, my friend.

Oh, I love when Gimli and Aragorn delight in showing Frodo the wonders of their hearts, and so what a lovely ending. How beautifully you described Aglarond. And the exchange of tokens between Elessar and He-Ann was perfect. A tale full of such rich details of Middle earth. It was a delight to read. *squooshes*

Author Reply: Thank you for such a lovely review, my friend. Imagining a rebuilt Annuminas and a to-be-built Aglarond was challenging, and fun. But of course it's the friendships and sweet moments between our beloved characters that bring a story to life. I'm just delighted that you enjoyed this tale.

What a wonderful ending for a most charming and sweet story. Thanks for writing it, Shirebound.

Author Reply: I'm so happy you enjoyed it! This was a fun and relaxing story to write, and I always hoped it would feel 'sweet' from beginning to end.

Gimli awakening the living essence of stone - that was awesome. As was Aragorn and Hé-An exchanging the ultimate gifts.

Lovely, lovely story, Janet, one that I enjoyed very much. Thank you for writing and sharing this!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I wanted to wrap this up on an inspiring note, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Oh what a beautiful ending!

I liked the exchange of those very special gifts between Aragorn and He-An and, of course, the moment when Gimli put on the Lady's Ring! A great moment and a vivid description of what the place could look like in the future.

He closed his eyes, imagining that Frodo could hear him. After such wonders as he had experienced, perhaps even that was now possible.

And why not? After all, this is the "Quaratined" universe :-)

Thank you very much, Shirebound!

Author Reply: Thank you, Andrea! It's been such a pleasure to write and share this gentle tale. And I'm always so glad to know the parts that moved or pleased you. *happy hugs*

Lovely ending to a great story. I was surprised that Aragorn loaned the ring of Barahir, but it certainly makes sense. I also enjoyed the ending with Gimli in the cave. Since he was so interested in amber, did he craft his piece for Legolas? Thanks for a very enjoyable read.

Author Reply: What a fun idea! I know Gimli and Legolas would spend much time together discussing this interesting and unexpected adventure.

Thank you so much. I'm very happy you enjoyed this story. :)

I'm sorry to see this sweet and gentle tale come to an end, but hopefully this isn't the last story about Frodo healed and whole in Middle-earth. Love the title of this chapter and how it ends with dear Gimli. Little does he know that one day he will be able to thank the Lady in person.

Thanks for such an imaginative and fascinating 'what came after' story.

Author Reply: I've learned so much about Gimli through writing about him. I do think he's very dear, especially when it comes to how brightly 'his hobbit' shine in his heart.

Thank you very much for reading, my friend. I, too, hope that there will be more tales about Frodo healed and whole.

Author Reply: (Oops, that should have been 'his hobbits'. :)
