Awwww... that was so sweet, and so sad. Yes, one wonders... what if Frodo did have a child? I guess we'll never know... but one can always imagine. I too always felt so sad about the fact that Frodo and Bilbo never had any blood heirs... at least not that we know of...
Lovely little story! Smile smiley face

I thought this story scanned beautifully. It was sensitively and thoughtfully observed from a strong PoV. And, it was moving without straining for my tears. The tone of the writing seemed well-matched to that of Aragorn's -- modest, restrained; but with a turn for the poetic and lyrical, but kept within a plain style. Some of the images will stick with me, I'm sure. I am thinking esp. of Aragorn's memory of Frodo standing in the gap of Rohan, before they part ways each to his own doom.

Thank you, Ariel, for this fine and satisfying work!

Oh, lovely lovely! This is a beautifully worded moment, evoking thoughts and emotions that ring so true to the characters and their situations. A wonderful piece I'm so glad you chose to share!

WIll agree with the other descriptions of lovely, and add, lyrical, emotionally satisfying and consistent with your canon and generally a fabulous piece of writing.

Brava!

This is an incredibly moving and wonderful piece, and a very interesting thought. Not being a Hobbit person really, I had never given much thought to Bilbo or Frodo's not having any direct heirs, but after reading your story I agree that it would be sad if that was the case. I also loved Aragorn's concern for his friend, very nicely portrayed and very believable.
Very Happy smiley face
