I really need to start reading again. This story is way to good to miss.

I think Pippin transmits as much joy and hope to Gandalf as the wizard does to him. What a lovely conversation.

Whew! I’ve just read this whole thing in two days, and it’s been an amazing treat! Thanks so much for all your hard work on this. I’m glad to see you’re still working on it, and I will look for the next update, whenever it may be. In the meantime, I’ll just say again that this is such an excellent tale ...

Thanks for writing! :-)

Your description of Pippin's fright -- and incredible courage -- is excellent. Such an exciting story! It's wonderful to know that Theoden and Boromir are riding together for the defense of Gondor.

I just started this story in the last couple of days and read it straight through. It is one of the best AUs that I've read. Your attention to detail, your dedication to keeping folks in character, and your thoughtful development of the plot all make this a wonderful story. And I'm not just saying this as a fan of Boromir who very much wishes that he could have seen the downfall of Sauron and the restoration of Gondor. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this story; I hope you keep writing!

Oh, such a delight to see Durlin's hope inspiring even Denethor. As for Pippin, he is hope personified.

Great to see you pick this back up again! The moment between Denethor and Durlin was very touching. You've made me almost as desperate for Boromir's return as Denether himself, even though I know the rest of the story. Great work!

My absolute favorite character of this whole story is your Durlin! If the original Denethor had a friend like him in his corner, perhaps he would have had a bit more hope of battling the darkness which claimed him in the book. The man quietly goes about trying to nurture Denethor, Faramir, Pippin, Imrahil, Gandalf, any one that he can! He reminds me of one bright spot in P.J.'s otherwise rather overdone (in my opinion!) Hobbit movies. As the Dwarves make camp near the spot where Bilbo will run afoul of the trolls, Gandalf comments that even though Saruman believes that only great power will defeat the Darkness, he himself has found that everyday good deeds of ordinary people also have power.

Aha! The return of the prodigal! So wonderful to find this!

Love to see the changes to the original allowing Boromir to return to the city he loves so.

(And LOVED The Elephant Thief!)
