Forever a guest too. It makes me wonder who else found a long term home away from home besides Gilraen, Bilbo and sometimes Gandalf.

Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm sure there were many others we have not heard of!
harrowcat · 7 June 2012 · Chapter 18: Together
Nice voicing of that scene.
Author's reply
Thank you.
Larner · 7 June 2012 · Chapter 18: Together
I rejoice to see this marriage finally come. And, yes, having fulfilled his destiny and knowing she is now here for him at last is a great reason for him to know peace in his soul at this time.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm so glad they finally find happiness.
Larner · 7 June 2012 · Chapter 17: Far From the Home I love
Ah! No great comfort can truly ease the loss of her former life and her husband! Well written.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked this melancholy piece.

This is very well done. Ever since reading the appendices about Arigorn and Arwen, I've loved their story. You did this beautifully, and I like how you explore her fear of death; I never thought about it before, but it must have been terribly frightening to one who had been immortal.

Very well done. We have picturesque ruins, the bittersweet history of the Dúnedain, hopeful Aragorn -- with as yet no plans involving Gondor, loyal Halbarad, the departure of the elves, and a foreshadowing of Halbarad's death. The only thing missing is hobbits ... and no fan can see a scene set on Weathertop without penciling in a few hobbits.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this. I wonder if any Hobbits had been to Weathertop before Frodo and his friends?
eiluj · 23 April 2012 · Chapter 15: Better to Give than to Receive
A clever twist! Though I am left wondering how Pippin parceled out the gifts.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm sure Pippin found a suitable recipient for each one!
Larner · 23 April 2012 · Chapter 16: Former Glories
A harbinger of things to come, that breeze proved. But each fulfilled his vow spoken that day!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews. They did indeed!
Larner · 23 April 2012 · Chapter 15: Better to Give than to Receive
I rejoice that Pippin is able to both receive and give now! Thanks so for this one!

harrowcat · 23 April 2012 · Chapter 15: Better to Give than to Receive
Love in gifts given and received. Now i am trying to work out who got each gift in return! :)
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I wish I knew what Pippin chose to give his friends!
harrowcat · 23 April 2012 · Chapter 16: Former Glories
That one deserves a Wow! Linda.

Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews.Thank you so much!
Larner · 22 April 2012 · Chapter 14: Recovery
It must have been so rewarding to know she was able to add to Faramir's recovery in such a manner! Lovely!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews. I'm pleased you enjoyed this.
Larner · 22 April 2012 · Chapter 13: The Still Small Voice
This is an encounter many of us have had, and that we must all honor as the One comes into our consciousness.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews.Aragorn is blessed to have this special encounter.
Antane · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 12: History Repeated
Cute! And Eldarion will hear such from his son one day... Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
THank you. I'm sure Eldarion will indeed will. May God bless you too.
harrowcat · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 12: History Repeated
It can be either comforting or horrifying when we find words coming out of our mouths from our parental figures!
Author's reply
The older I get the more that happens!
harrowcat · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 11: What Trees are For
Trust hobbits to know the real reason for trees.
Author's reply
Yes, they have the right idea don't they?
Larner · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 12: History Repeated
Oh, yes, we dread finding we are repeating the same arguments we felt were unfair when we were young, and that our children respond to in the same way. Love this!
Author's reply
Thank you so much. I'm pleased you enjoyed this.
Larner · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 11: What Trees are For
Each reacts to the trees in his own way, I see. At least all see comfort of one sort or another in these trees.
Author's reply
I find a great deal of comfort in trees.
Larner · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 10: The Price to Pay
The fullness of her own sacrifices won't be quite real to her until the end, but she will face them at the appointed time.
Larner · 18 April 2012 · Chapter 9: Reflections in the Night
Too much reason to find those words true! And far away two Hobbits toil away on their road, a road they must draw the Eye away from.
shirebound · 16 April 2012 · Chapter 10: The Price to Pay
It truly was a difficult decision, but tempered by a joyous life with her beloved.
Larner · 15 April 2012 · Chapter 8: The Choice
When one's master betrays others, it's wise to anticipate that one might be forced to repudiate him. Lovely look at this choice!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated reviews. I'm pleased you enjoyed these drabbles.
Larner · 15 April 2012 · Chapter 7: How Green is my Valley
Oh, indeed worth fighting for! And it's good that Elboron learns the true cost of war.
Author's reply
Elboron has a wise teacher in Faramir.
Larner · 15 April 2012 · Chapter 6: The Queen Speaks
She's had nearly three thousand years to watch her father and grandparents rule their own lands. She's definitely prepared to rule at the side of her husband!
Author's reply
I'm sure she is and Aragorn is wise enough to know it!
Larner · 15 April 2012 · Chapter 5: Cakes and Ale
At least he SAYS that that's the way it is. If so, providential for him! Heh!
Author's reply
We know Aragorn is a truthful man, so it must be so LOL!
