Starship  by shirebound 179 Review(s)
AndreaReviewed Chapter: 10 on 12/4/2010
Oh how beautiful!

I liked this ending very much, especially that Gimli was greeted by Galadriel in his own language! That must have been the happiest moment in his long life.

Last but not least, I just loved this line:

Adding their voices to the delicate harmonies coming from shore, they helped sing the starship home.

Thank you very much :-)

Author Reply: I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, Andrea! I would hate to think of Gimli's arrival as anything but truly welcoming. Such a long life, and how courageous of him to leave Middle-earth and sail into the unknown.

It took me soooo long to find just the right line to end this fic. Thank *you* so much. (((YOU)))

Oh beautiful!
Gimli finally gets to meet Galadrial again, he does have a 'thing' for her dosen't he?
And Elrond gets good news about his 'boys', they will be coming home soon too!
Huggs,

A beautiful reunion, and a blessed ending, singing Earendil back once more!

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I like to think that the Blessed Realm has its own sweet traditions and rituals which would include the hobbits, and perhaps Vingilot's arrival is one of them.

Oh. Oh, Janet, what a beautiful notion and what a sweet reunion! I hardly know what else to say except that it moved me greatly.

This has been such a lovely, lovely story, and this Epilogue is a joy and a delight. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Author Reply: Thank you very much, my friend. It's taken me quite awhile to get this chapter feeling 'just right'. I'm so very happy you found it moving! We both greatly love our 'happily ever afters'.

What a lovely letter from Frodo. How it must put Aragorn's mind at ease. Love his interaction with the children, so gentle and loving, and his gives wise council. I know the children will remember it!

Author Reply: Thank you. I was just compelled to bring Aragorn back into the story, and you know how much I love it when he and Frodo interact... even in such an unusual way! :)

That would make sense that Sam would be more attune to the tree than anyone and now another reunion is coming at some point. What joy that would give Gimli! Sorry to be so behind in reading here.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I always appreciate your lovely comments, Antane. I'm very happy you enjoyed this conclusion. :)

Ah, a fitting end to a lovely story! I enjoyed Gimli's dream/vision, and Sam putting the Shire soil at the foot of the tree. Beautiful imagery! I'm sorry to see it end, but very satisfied nonetheless. Good luck with whatever tale you'll be working on next!

Author Reply: Thank you very much! I'm rather sorry to see this end, as well. I enjoyed writing this gentle and happy tale.
