Ahhh very nice! Gimli getting to meet Aule! Now that must have been a treat...like a kid getting to meet his favorite baseball hero or something. I would hardly have thought of that myself. Lovely piece!

Author Reply: Thanks! It must have been as much of a treat for Aule to see one of his children in the flesh, too!

Love the part of Aule meeting one of his 'subcreations.' I so hope that the professor is enjoying time with his.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: If he even cares about them at this point (I'm feeling rather pugnacious today and so feel like pointing out things like, "we don't know what it's going to be like except that it's going to be awesome, and not necessarily by our definitions of awesome").

But yes, I thought that Aule would've looked forward to this for a long time.

Oh, this is the welcome our Gimli deserves!

Author Reply: *grin* I'm glad you think so!

This is lovely, thank you so much! Well done mellon-nin!

I think my favorite here is Gimli being surprised...finding Olorin is Gandalf and meeting Mahal aka Aule...effectively his multiple-too-many-times-to-count great-grandfather, for Aule created the Dwarven race though Iluvatar granted them Life.

I wonder how the Noldor will feel about Gimli...I think Celebrimbor grandson of Feanor (assuming he was Reborn, since his father, uncles and grandfather must wait until the Remaking of Arda...hmmm...) would love to meet Gimli, since Celebrimbor was especial friends of the Dwarf Narvi. (Remember the Doors of Durin? :) )

Thanks again and happy birthday!

Author Reply: I think Aule must have been as excited as a Vala's allowed to get at the prospect of welcoming one of his own to the West.

And yeah, if Celebrimbor's back I think he'll get along just fine with Gimli--pretty much anyone from Eregion, actually.

It's a fun idea to think about!

Thanks for the prompt!

How delightful! Yes, it's just the sort of reception that Gimli (and Legolas) deserved when they arrived! I love it, and I love Gimli getting to meet Mahal himself!

Author Reply: I'm glad you think so! And I really like the idea of Aule getting as excited as a Vala is allowed to be over the arrival of a Dwarf!
