| Well, being as hungry as a Hobbit isn't a bad thing to be! And love the ending, with Arwen realizing their bond is now strengthened after the Hobbits are issuing orders regarding his resting! Yes, I can see all of this! Good to see this complete. But I always love your stories. Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad this rings true, and that you enjoyed the story. | |

| Oh, anytime Aragorn is about to fall on his face, that is awesome!!! I have to admit I did adore his shakiness here. And good grief---going on patrol so soon after being so ill? Yes, sounds just like Aragorn. The hobbits are simply adorable, as always. I sure wish I had them here to look after me. *sighs* I so enjoyed them commanding Aragorn to rest and take it easy... better not mess with those hobbits when they mean business! And of course, I really enjoyed Glorfindel in this story and am so glad he made a reappearance---it tied the story up so nicely. And sleeping Aragorn... what a nice picture. :) I'm sorry to see the story come to an end, but it's been a lovely journey. Happy 10th Fic Anniversary!!! I'm afraid I didn't keep track of mine... I think it was in February. I wish I had, now. However, my 10th LJ anniversary is coming up and it's hard to believe that many years have passed. Wow. Here's to many more years! *raises a piece of lembas and a glass of miruvor* Author Reply: *shares lembas with you and clinks glass* Thank you, Lily. Aragorn's weakness was one last gift for you. I really loved writing this story, and the fact that you enjoyed it is the icing on the seedcake. :) You're one of my earliest inspirations for h/c fic, and I'm so glad we're both still inspired by it all. | |

| I love the hobbits taking over Aragorn's healing like so many little Jewish mothers. (-: And their tact--"you don't look too bad considering"--ahahaha! That was a great lead in for setting up Arwen's dream connecting with Aragorn for the movieverse. Great story, my friend! Author Reply: I love it when the hobbits can be caregivers for their dear friends. They have their own special 'magic'. Thank you for your lovely comments. I had a wonderful time writing this story. | |

| It was great to get back and find chapter 11 waiting to be read. And what a wonderful chapter too. It was a wonderful idea to make the strength of Arwen & Aragorn's love to be responsible for restoring him to health, and to have Arwen guiding him back to safety. And the last line was absolutely delightful! Author Reply: *grins* I do love that last line! Hobbits make everything better. Love is the greatest force in the Universe, and no mistake. | |

| Aww, what a hobbity and happy ending, full of cccccccc and no h at all!! Thanks for this marvelously imaginative story. AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! I'm so glad you're still loving and posting fics about our dear hobbits after 10 years!! Here's to 10 more at least!! *toasts you* Author Reply: Yay for hobbits, happy endings, and ccccccccccc! Thank you for that wonderful and hopeful toast. *clinks glass with you* I hope we're both loving and creating in this world for as long as Eagles fly and hobbits live joyously in the West. | |

| Beautiful! I love the bond between Arwen and Aragorn and how you wove your own tapestry, bringing in that joyful moment on Cerin Amroth. *happy sigh* On to the last chapter. :-) Author Reply: You sweetie. "Weaving a tapestry" is exactly what I try to do with these tales. | |

| That was a lovely and fitting end to this story! I'm very sorry to see the tale end but what could be better than a story that ends with a peaceful Aragorn, sleeping and dreaming sweet dreams in the sun with his love there beside him. *happy sigh* Author Reply: High praise from an Aragorn writer! That image makes me happy, too. It took me a very long time to write stories in which hobbits were integral, but not the complete focus. Goodness, I'll miss writing this story. | |

| I missed when you posted this! Oh what a sweet chapter. How scary you make it for Arwen bringing in the memory of Celebrian. How lovely to be back in Lothlorien with them! I loved when the cavern walls shattered. And what a cute ending to lighten the mood just right. (-: Author Reply: Thank you! There's nothing like hobbits (or the thought of them) to lighten even the darkest moment. I'm so happy you enjoyed this chapter... it was one of the more difficult ones to write. | |

| Happy anniversary, my dear! Thank you for such a sweet gift! I think Gandalf may have it wrong when he said one should have a hobbit in his care, more correct would be one should be under the care of a hobbit or two or three or four... :) You know you could do a epilogue and have them fussing over getting him ready to go out and watching over him especially carefully in the first stage of the Quest... just a little bunny looking hopefully at you... Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Having hobbits in our care (or being under the care of hobbits); how lovely that we can imagine so many scenarios on this theme! Thank you for your kind words, and the little bunny. You never know... :) | |

| What a lovely way to end this story: with concerned hobbits at mealtime and a loving life's partner. I enjoyed this tale very much. Author Reply: Thank you, Addie. This was one of many endings I hadn't planned in advance, but I wanted to weave as much banter and love into the chapter as possible. | |
