Thanks for the story. The dwarves are among my favorite LOTR characters (Thank Gimli). Balin was my favorite Hobbit dwarf and I'm glad to see a story where his dream is finally realized even if several hundred years too late for him to physically witness. Perhaps we can say he was watching from the halls of Mahal and smiling.

P.s. If you like dwarves, I'll be bold enough for a little bit of SSP, and I'll say that you'll find more dwarves-stories on my list... :)

The halls are cleansed and their mansions and ancient monuments restored. And two young people have committed themselves to one another and the future together. Love Durin atop the rebuilt tower. Does he see the changes wrought by the long-ago battle between Gandalf and the Balrog?

A desirable look at the Dwarves' civilization! Thanks for this tale!

Oh my! You completed this one! I admit to leaving this review without reading any further than I was before, but I just wanted you to know that I'm looking forward to reading through the rest of the chapters in this one, and then tackling your new story, which sounds intriguing! (Reading is on the back burner at the moment, as my inbox just filled up with several days' worth of work tasks. Nevertheless, I can hardly wait to have a free day again to jump in and start reading.)

Best wishes, and congratulations on finishing this lovely work.

Author Reply: Of course I completed it - I didn't post while still writing, but my process is: writing, editing, translating, and then posting. ;) In the very beginning of posting, when I published chapter 2, I named it "chapter 2 of 39", so that readers know how long it will be.
Similarly, chapter 2 of the new story is named "chapter 2 of 16". ;)
I hope your period of being busy will pass soon. :)
Thank you so much! *hugs*

'Until the very end of Arda, there will be light again in deep places, there will be ringing of hammers and the sound of our songs in the halls.'

Thank you so much for this beautiful and touching story! I really enjoyed it!

The Dwarves craft passionately from the earth, and you craft equally passionately with your words. This has been a beautiful story, written with love. Well done, my friend, and thank you for the happiest of all endings.

Author Reply: I enjoyed writing this.

And thank *you*, my friend, for everything.
