Mr. Frodo's Waiting  by Linaewen 6 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: 1 on 4/9/2012
This is so Sam - humble in not realizing why Cirdan is nice to him, respectful, thoughtful in making sure he's got an extra pipe with him for Frodo, and as always using his love for Frodo to overcome any fears that stand between him and joyful reunion, just as he had in the Tower. "I'm coming Mr. Frodo!"

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Sweet and very touching. A beautiful tribute to dear Sam. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

That Elf Cirdan who's in charge here is waiting for me to finish up so's he can escort me to the boat. He's been very respectful to me, though I don't know why exactly. Just good manners, I expect. Why, he must be about the most important elf around!

Dear Sam! Humble to the very end.

This is so beautifully done, dear Linaewen. It started my day with joy, even as it moved me to tears. It captures Sam's maturity and growth while remaining true to his character.

I loved every last word. Well done!

Hugs,
Mum

And may that sailing be truly blessed, and the reunion sweet.

Lovely!

What a wonderful letter. Sam really said everything he needed to, and I just know he'll find the Blessed Realm to be "a real nice place" indeed. And Mr. Frodo's waiting. :)

Very Sam!

This made me laugh: "That Elf Cirdan who's in charge here is waiting for me to finish up so's he can escort me to the boat. He's been very respectful to me, though I don't know why exactly. Just good manners, I expect. Why, he must be about the most important elf around!"

I love the stories of Sam reaching Valinor with a collection of letters and mementos for Frodo, so I was surprised how much this Sam-slipping-away scenario seemed in character. That's the good part about fanfic: we can have both.
