Fellowship  by Kara's Aunty 38 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/13/2011
Legolas and Gimli must have given them all concerns at first; and Hope DID prevail in this case! Excellent look from Gandalf's POV.

Author Reply: Hello Larner,

thank goodness elf & dwarf came to an accord, eh? No matter that it took a while ... Still, some things are worth waiting for!

Glad you enjoyed Gandalf's perspective, and thanks for R & R-ing,

A lovely series. I think the last one was best of all.

Thanks for sharing!

Author Reply: Hello Armariel,

thanks very much. I'm glad you liked Sam's so much - the whole series was really building up to that moment, when - after all they had been through, and despite attaining victory - Frodo left Middle Earth forever and Sam could do nothing for him but watch him go.

It's so sad. I hate reading that part of the book, or watching that part of the film, because it makes me feel really depressed ...

Aargh! I'm so sad!!

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M ;)

What a powerful scene!

I dearly hope that Sam's time with Rosie and his children was a good and happy time for him, as Frodo had wished, not an act of constant self control.

Author Reply: Hello Andrea,

wow, glad you think it's that good. I don't think his life without Frodo will be a constant act of self control, but it'll definitely take a good while before he works out how to live with this new pain. Rosie and the children will always be there to help him, though, and being the family-orientated chap that he is, that will soon put a smile back on his face. But he'll always miss Frodo, until he sees him again. Just as, when he does see Frodo again, Sam will always miss his Rosie ...

*sob*

He can't win, can he? Poor sod!

Thanks for R & R-ing,

That certainly captures the situation.

Poor Frodo. Even with Sam -- poor Frodo!

Author Reply: Hello eiluj,

I knoe. But thank goodness he did have Sam, or I shudder to think of the consequences.

Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear,

M ;)

And that's Sam. That's Sam in a nutshell.

[I didn't realize until now that this series is chronological.]

Author Reply: Hello again!

Maybe I should've mentioned somewhere that it was chronological, but I just didn't think (not a rare occurence, unfortunately).

Sam's was always going to be the last one in this series because I wanted to end it with Frodo sailing off to find healing and Sam facing a lifetime without him (okay, almost a lifetime). Seems heartless, doesn't it? That's how cruel I am.

*chuckle*

But he does have Rosie, so that's definitely something. She'll keep Sam whole until he sess Frodo again. Sniffle.

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M ;)

These are powerful little scenes!

Author Reply: Hello shirebound,

gosh, thanks! Great feedback. I was trying to aim for short but punchy, and I'm glad to see it worked!

*massive grin*

Thanks for R & R-ing,

Ah, my dear cousin, one of those I have been waiting for and so wonderfully done here, especially at the end. *hugs*

Namarie, God bless, Your happy berry :)

Author Reply: Hello again, Cousin!

I'm so happy you liked Frodo's drabble - I know how much you adore him and Sam, and I'd have been gutted if it had disappointed you!

Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear,

your happy cousin x

I love that part about gladly spending his last strength healing the wounded. Truly a king who cares for his people.

Namarie, God bless, Your bloom :)

Author Reply: Hello m'dear,

Aragorn was a noble king indeed. A bit sharp sometimes, but he does love his friends and his people, and his conduct after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields proves it ;)

Thanks for R & R-ing, bloom,

This one is simply perfect, especially the last but one sentence which has a very good twist in it.

Nothing except his Sam.

I so agree!

Author Reply: Hello again, m'dear,

thanks very much! Sam nust've been a comfort beyond words for Frodo in that dreadful place. Thank goodness he had at least that!

Thanks again for R & R-ing,

M ;o)

Good old Aragorn! What he did there - without sleep - would have killed others.
Let's give him the rest he so longs for. We know he needs it :-)

Author Reply: Hell Andrea,

poor Aragorn. He's had a busy few days. He must be shattered! And there's still so much to be done ...

Forty winks will be more than enough to give the Power Ranger the strength to do it!

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M ;)

Author Reply: Aargh!! I missed the 'o' in 'hello'. A typo I swear ...
