| What a delightful manner in which to can tomatoes! Author Reply: It's really perfect for those little cherry tomatoes. Easy, since you don't have to peel them, and since they don't have to be processed. They are delicious, although every time I bite into one my eyes bug out--they are pucker-up-your-mouth tart, but in a very good way! | |

| What an aptly named ficlet! Author Reply: Thank you! It is one of my favorite passages in the book, and I felt it worked for this moment. | |

| It is always darkest before the dawn as Merry learns and then the light returns and there is such joy - love this and the title. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: That's exactly so! He would not be nearly so exultant if he had not so recently been in such despair. The title, of course, is from the Professor--I thought it a appropriate quote. | |

| Oh, yes--the one moment that he perhaps never imagined happening as it did, but truly the one he now recognizes as the one for which he had hoped all along! Yes, the title says it all, even as the Master recognized. Author Reply: That particular passage is probably my favorite in all of RotK, and it also echoes a similar passage in the famous Fairy Tale essay, when JRRT describes "eucatastrophe". This moment had to have its impact on both of Frodo's cousins as they witnessed it; I'd shown Pippin's reaction before--I thought it was time Merry had his turn. | |

| Interesting that Elrond and Bilbo have that in common. Psst: that would have been 3019 rather than 3018. http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/b/boromir.html Author Reply: It's definitely something they have in common, that both of them have adopted sons! Yep. I'll try to remember to go fix that typo. Thanks for pointing it out. | |

| Ah, poor Paladin - that Pippin was a handful and a half but gotta love him and it is good that they remained close. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Yes, it truly is! Thank you! | |

| Oh, well done, that is a lovely panorama of a father's feelings. Author Reply: Thank you! :) | |

| Oh, but I LOVE this indeed! Yes, so perfect for Elrond and Bilbo as the children of their hearts each head for their appointed destinies. Author Reply: I think that this would have definitely given them a special bond. | |
