| I loved Elladan/Frodo and Celeborn/Pippin. This was a really enjoyable, believable story, where everyone behaved according to their character. I liked the hobbits, but also the way the elves dealt with others in a - for the want of a better word - human and caring way. Author Reply: I'm so glad this was believable, especially since there were so many characters to juggle and unusual concepts to explore. Thank you so much. | |

| Hey there! Sorry it's been so long since I let ya know I was around, end of the semester and all that. Another job well done! I enjoyed this story a great deal. It cheered me up quite frequently. I would often be having a bad day, come to my email, and low and behold find an update that never failed to make me smile. I loved the ending with the four Hobbits talking in bed. I must admit that the moments where the Hobbits are talking with each other and joking around are my favorites. Never fails to bring a smile to my face. :) See? Just thinking about it did it. I enjoyed your portrayal of the Elves as well, particularly Elladan and Elrohir. You should write Elves more often (any Elves, ;)) Thanks again for a great story. I'm hopeing to get back to my own now that summer is in full swing. I'm looking forward to what you come up with next. Talk to ya soon! -LM Author Reply: Thanks, LM, and happy End-of-Semester! I'm glad to hear that my story helped cheer you up when you needed it. This was such fun to write, and a real adventure for me. | |

| So glad to see this one complete! An absolutely riveting story from start to finish. I loved your concept of Saruman wishing to forge a new Ring, and that Frodo had become sensitive enough to communicate with the Wise. You did a superb job in keeping all our lovely hobbits in character, and though you had them in danger, you didn't torture them just for the sake of angst, which I for one appreciate. Everything that happened pushed the plot forward. I especially loved your characterization of Pippin, and his bravery. And I loved the interaction of Elrond and his sons. Having Celeborn and Galadriel as major characters was very nice. They usually don't play much of an active role in most fanfic. The only thing is, I wish you could have left Saruman's and Grima's "mute buttons" turned on. I know! I know! That would have made it AU--but it's a nice thought anyway--Saruman wouldn't have got very far in the Shire without his Voice, would he? LOL! Actually, I do appreciate that you went ahead and returned to canon--but wasn't it tempting? Author Reply: Thank you so much! There was so much I wanted to say in this story, I was afraid it would get too complex and muddled. Hee hee. A *lot* was tempting when it came to Saruman and Grima -- this story could have gone in a lot of different directions. Maybe someone else will write one of the other directions! I'm so happy you enjoyed this story. What a joy to have a place to share it. | |

| Aaaawwww! I loved this! It was absolutely wonderful! But where were the puppies? *wink* Author Reply: Where *were* the puppies? Back at Bag End, I suspect, waiting for me to write about them... *hugs* | |

| What a sweet ending! I loved Frodo's conversation with Elladan, and of course the hobbits bantering with one another is always perfect. Thank you for another delightful return to Middle Earth. Author Reply: Thank you, Mariole. I can rarely resist *any* opening for bantery hobbits! | |

| I got some lovely laughs off this last chapter. The discussion between the four hobbits about Tookishness and Pippin's list was particularly entertaining! And Pippin's anxiety about returning home and being just a tween again, with Frodo reassuring him that no one will treat him like a child was very sweet. I love the way you write the interactions between the hobbits :) Author Reply: Thank you! I'm so glad that this rather "dark" story ended up making you laugh and feel good! | |

| A great ending to a great story!! Thank you for another superb hobbit story! I've often thought that Pippin would be concerned about having to go back to being underage. Well done as always. Pearl Took Author Reply: Thank you, Pearl. What an adventure it was to write this story! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. | |

| Oh, shirebound, that was a lovely conclusion to another jewel of a story! I truly look forward to your stories and I hope you do not stop sharing them with us anytime soon! Please do start another story soon! Oh and thank you so much for your lovely comments in regards to my poem Exquisite Pain II -- I have thought for a long time how if Arwen had traveled West she would have died of grief for the want of her one true love. I have loved hers and Aragorn's story from the moment I read LOTR for the first time and I am humbled I was able to convey some of what it was like for her to choose both the sweet and the bitter... Thanks again! And I anxiously await your next adventure into the land of Middle-earth! Author Reply: Aren't we lucky to be able to add more "adventures" to the land of Middle-earth? I'm just amazed. *hugs* | |

| This was a very well written chapter...I must admit I'm curious to see just what else is on Pippin's list, just like Sam. It must be a mile long. Author Reply: Thanks, Roger. Ah, that list! Maybe someone will write more about it sometime. :) | |
