Awakening  by Clever Hobbit 5 Review(s)
ElliekinReviewed Chapter: 1 on 12/11/2005
Wow... a beautiful story. I thought it was from Frodo's viewpoint at first, but then you were talking about him not being hungry or thirsty, and having hair, and I thought it was a bit strange for him to have healed so quickly. I'm glad that Sméagol was forgiven in the end and found happiness-- I don't think that he would have deserved to be punished after death. He had enough suffering in life.

So-- lovely story. Really well-written, too. :) Well done.

Yes--in saving Frodo's Light he found his own again! And the awakening of the two of them is so similar, yet in the end more immediately joyful for Gollum!

Lovely imagery and a joyful reunion, so very long delayed on Smeagol's side. Glad to see it!

Very clever!!

It was some while before I caught on to it being Gollum! And it seems only right that he should receive absolution and be returned to the heart of his family.

Very cleverly done! Like the idea of Sméagol being forgiven and be reunited with his family.

This is absolutely beautiful, and such an unexpected happily-ever-after.

Author Reply: Thanks! I've always thought that Smeagol deserved a better end than just frying in hot lava. :/
