I’m very glad that this story was pointed out to me as it has been an extremely enjoyable read. As I’ve said before, I never used to care much for Hobbit stories on the whole, but I think now I am converted. This tackles something I’ve thought about a lot; how the Hobbits of the fellowship tried to adapt to living in the Shire again after all they’ve seen, and this story captured it beautifully. Poor Merry! But all the characters really were expertly done and the whole thing just has a lovely feel to it. Well done.

I think everyone else has said this but I will say it again…it is so good to see Gimli getting his share of romance. This was a very well written story and I would love to see more along the same lines. Can I ask, are you going to write more for this OFC? Regarding your note at the beginning, Gimli did not seem at all out of character to me, in fact I could easily imagine him behaving this way with his love, and your OFC was both believable and likeable.
More please! Very Happy smiley face

This is a wonderful story and very touching. Your portrayal of the characters is very good and I particularly liked the part about Merry wanting to meet Théoden again ‘on the other side’ as it were. Very nice thought. As for English not being your first language, it does not show at all, and in fact I am a little humbled. I only wish I could write in Icelandic to the same level!

I liked your use of first person here as it gave a really sweet insight into Boromir, and your portrayal of the two brothers strikes me as very real and very touching. I loved the opening paragraph and your imagery there – this really set up the piece as a bit of reflection, I think. And yes, as has been said earlier, it does add a touch of poignancy reading this, knowing that Boromir won’t come back.
Very nice story Very Happy smiley face

This is a very touching and enjoyable work and the idea is very interesting. Your depiction of the various homes in the first chapter are really quite chilling and moving. I’m not much of a Hobbit person, I must admit, but just within a few lines I was sucked into this. I also found the conversation between Merry & Pippin’s fathers in part 2 very intriguing. Have you ever thought to expand on this animosity between them? I think that’d make quite a good story on its own.

Thank you very much, I have enjoyed this very much Very Happy smiley face
