Oh...I'm teary again. How wonderful... :-)

Author Reply: Thank you so much. For a long time, this story was one I was proudest of.

I shouldn't have read this in a restaurant, it made me a little teary... :-)

Author Reply: Oh thank you. It means a great deal to me that someone finds something I wrote to be moving.

*Sigh* I'm all shivery....

That bit at the end of Akallabeth about the seas falling away and what could be seen in the distance has always been one of the coolest lines from Tolkien... :-)

Author Reply: Bless the Professor for leaving so much for fanfic writers to imagine, such as what happens on the Sea between Middle-earth and "the West".

So beautiful and bittersweet...

What a fabulous conversation -- so many little pearls throughout! I especially loved the part about the sea -- it is very special in Tolkien's realm, isn't it? Wonderful.

Author Reply: Thank you. It's very important to me that Frodo receive the healing, comfort, respect, and peace that he earned. Imagining him sailing West, and living there, is a particularly compelling fic-subject for me.

Another perfect story. I'm sure I've read it before, but it was like reading it for the first time. I had a smile on my face the whole time.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your lovely comment. This story has always been very special to me. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :)

I just finished reading your last chapter of The Three Towers. I thought I would look around, and found this which I had not read yet. ( I know, it has been here a long time.) But I think the Internet behaves much like your vision of the Undying Lands. Once something is here, it is as though no time has passed. this is a sweet piece. I especially like Celebrian's baby. Life indeed continues! Best Wishes to you.

Author Reply: Thank you! This story was so important to me -- I *need* to know that Frodo found healing and joy in the West. And I'm sure he remains there to this day, happy and at peace.

:D

i am a self-professed Merry and Pippin fanatic. which is why i rarely read any fic that focuses solely on Frodo but I am glad that i read this fic. just like Sam, i cann't even begin to think of properly describing the feelings i felt as i read this, just that it was pure joy. it would take ever so long to even try and imagine every thing that you have described so wonderfully here. thank you so much!

Author Reply: Thank *you* for such a lovely review! This story holds a very special place in my heart, and for you to read and enjoy it -- without Merry and Pippin! -- is a high compliment. (For a story about Tol Eressea *with* Merry and Pippin in it, you might also enjoy "Healed".)

:D

Oh, how wonderful. I'd forgotten how wonderful. I love your use of music and song. I love how the hobbits have such a beautiful and peaceful life together on the Blessed Isle. I love the reunion of Elrond and Celebrian. *happy sigh*

And oh, it wasn't the last ship, it wasn't!

Author Reply: Elanor, thank you so much! I'm so happy to have written this, and to have been able to bring Sam "home".

It was SO not the last ship!

:D
