| Oh, but the perfect ending! I see how much stuck in my memory without my realization, to come out years later in my own writing, but with my own emphasis. I focused on Frodo's experiences rather than Fredegar's, and I represented the healers as insisting Freddy NOT regain all his former weight. I see the Hobbit tendency to speak lightly of serious matters reflected so well here, far better than I tend to manage. Thanks so for sparking my own writing, and for your friendship. It keeps me feeling youthful, as ancient and venerable as I'm growing, being nineteen years older than Frodo was when he left the Shire that last time. Eglerio, Frodo Baggins! A laity te! Author Reply: I just now saw this, almost a year later! (I dunno about that. I think you manage just fine. More than fine, actually.) You are more than welcome, for all those things, and in return, I must thank you for your friendship and the gift of your writing, so rich and deep and layered and thought-provoking. I'm honored to have played a part in encouraging you to explore your own visions of the Professor's world. | |

| So glad this was not AU after all. My, how long it's been since I last read it! And Frodo gets to live, blest by beauty until the end of a life known in Peace. | |

| The dream was a shock, and no mistake! And Frodo is as safe as he can be, surrounded by many of the High Elves who love him, not to mention Bilbo and Gandalf. Yes, a high sense of relief for Freddy and Budgie. Good enough! | |

| AU, then. And the letter lingers in The Pony. | |

| Rather fatalistic. Don't blame them for wanting to weep. Now, is the letter behind Butterbur's mantel clock destined to follow the fate of the last one Gandalf entrusted to the innkee per? | |

| There is time yet, though. The grey ship is not yet sailed. | |

| Yes, Frodo knows. He was properly named, after all. | |

| Time to contemplated the Queen's offered gift, then. | |

| I see where I stole my own heat exhaustion tale from, although I had Frodo there in October for the fall memories first. And my version of Budgie is more skeptical than yours. | |
