The Latter Days by Elanor Silmariën
Grey Wonderer · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 13: Home Again
Enjoyed this chapter very much. Love the way Pippin just turns up in Frodo's room knowing he'll be welcome. I also laughed at Frodo's worries that the bed might not hold Pippin's weight.
Author's reply
Pippin will always be welcome, don't you think? He needs to be there to cheer Frodo up! God bless, Ellie
Grey Wonderer · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 12: Luck at Last
("For someone so big he doesn't eat much," Uncle Sara states, watching him leave.) So like hobbits to notice that! LOL Love Aragorn's concern for Frodo's health.
Author's reply
Leave it to the hobbits! Thank you! God bless, Ellie
Grey Wonderer · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 11: What Happened Next
Glad that's taken care of and now Frodo has one less thing to trouble him.
Grey Wonderer · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 10: Breakfast
I am so far behind! RL haa kept me from reading much lately but I enjoyed this chapter very much. The kitten is just too adorable! Frodo's sad momnets are do well done and show what is to come in his future. So like Pippin not to wait for other before starting a meal. LOL
Author's reply
why does Rl have to get in the way? Jk! Glad to hear from you again, though. Thank you so much for the compliments! God bless, Ellie
Arwen of Lorien · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 20: The Wedding
How can I love this story more? Its soo dear! I think all regret that Fro had to leave for the havens in the end has washed away. This is such a good story! The part about the spider really got me, oh and the part about Fro remembering comforting Sam as a hobbit-lad after a nightmare. *Sniffle* You do write Frodo and Sam soo well! Namarie! ~Arwen
Author's reply
Oh, you made me blush, dear! I'm so glad you like it! God bless, Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 28 May 2006 · Chapter 20: The Wedding
Yes, there must always be a bachelor party the night before the wedding. :) Glad we got a peep--that doesn't often happen. Oh dear, but I am worried about Frodo's appetite. That's not right for a Hobbit, not at all. :( The wedding was so lovely! Violet does indeed seem perfect for Brend. :) And the end of this chapter was such a joy, to see Frodo, for a moment, the comforter. Beautiful, mellon nin! God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
SO glad you liked it! I was thinking I needed another chapter before the wedding, and that just popped out. I wasn't sure how it would work, but I'm glad you liked it! I love seeing Frodo comforting others too! God bless, mellon nin! Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 27 May 2006 · Chapter 18: Past Memories
Come home from the war, try to rebuild the life, have to deal with all the questions and odd looks and irrational fears. *sigh* Oh, poor Frodo. The spider thing even shocked me. Just standing there and then suddenly he's shouting, and it's just a little black spider. But it makes sense. You do this very well. I can't wait for more! God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
*blushes* thanks! The spider thing.... I have an irrational fear of spiders, and I haven't ever been attacked by one. That just kind of popped into my head, and I didn't realise it until I'd written it! Poor Frodo indeed *Sighs with you* Thank for reviewing! God bless, Ellie
Antane · 27 May 2006 · Chapter 18: Past Memories
Yea, another chapter! I love it! Especially about the spider and Sam comforting him and I'm glad he said flat out, you need to be taken care of. That must have taken some guts to admit the loss of the Ring was worse than the loss of his parents, but I'm glad Frodo's got enough confidence to do that, that he knows he's still going to be loved to death no matter what. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thanks for your enthusiasm! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This is one of my favorite chapters so far, and I'm glad to see that you pointed out all my favorite parts! Of course Frodo will always be loved, and not only by his friends, but by all of us! God bless, mellon nin! Ellie
Antane · 12 May 2006 · Chapter 16: The Sea
My dear Frodo, your story was read and much appreciated! Thanks for writing. Of course your Sam would understand that you would need to get it out. I wish that was all you needed to do to exorcise your demons, but Iluvatar had a better plan for you. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Oh if only that was the way it happened, then he could stay in the Shire and be happy and laugh as much as we wanted him too! But I do think Iluvitar planned it for a purpose. God bless, Ellie
Arwen of Lorien · 12 May 2006 · Chapter 17: Good News
Hail, Elanor! Heh, Ahhh, these 4 chapters were soo beautiful, peaceful and homely! I really loved reading them mellon-nin! Now, who does Wanderer remind me of? Is it Goldberrys younger cat Pippin??? I can't put my finger on it! Who did you use as your insperation for the furry star? He is such a cutsie! I loved that you wrote about Frodo starting his book and loving it! So happy that he has found such a *perfect* hobby! :) I feel I must say Hannon le for your work that gives me this great time of reading! Luv & God bless! ~Arwen
Author's reply
Glad you liked them!! Honestly I didn't even think of Pippin's scrunchie chasing until after I wrote this... funny thing, though, I did base Wanderer on Gold's cat. Glad you like him! Cat's are starting to grow on me. What hobby could be better than writing?? Thank you so much for your lovely comments, dear! God bless, Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 12 May 2006 · Chapter 17: Good News
Oh, there's so much to love in these chapters! I wish I could review each one separately, but my time to read and write is limited lately, much more than I'd like. So, Wanderer likes hair ribbons, does he? :) It's cute that he's been destroying them, and yet Rosie is still on the verge of laughing at him. I think this kitty might just have something in common with our favourite Took...:) And I love how the nightmares are described, and how Frodo's subconscious insecurity is revealed in his dreams. Very true to life. Ooo! Are we invited to Brend's wedding, too? Pretty please? :) God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Oh that's quite all right! I understand the whole time issue... Yes, Wanderer loves hair ribbons! lol! he's a mischievous little rascal, that's for sure, he must be a Took cat! Lol. I'm glad you thought that part was realistic, I wasn't too sure. And yes, everyone is invited to Brend's wedding, he'd be very happy to see you there!!! God bless, Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 5 May 2006 · Chapter 13: Home Again
Oh, I was sooo thrilled to get another update! And I saw in your reply to Arwen (what can I say? I love seeing the excellent work of others admired :)) that you have six more coming! Oooo, can't wait! Poor Frodo, I hate that feeling of being so exhausted and yet unable to sleep. I've come to joke at such times that I'm too tired to sleep. But glad he could comfort Pip, and so glad Pippin is beginning to show interest in Diamond. I also love Frodo's advice to him on the matter. Very wise, mellon nin! God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
My pen has once again run off with me! I had that feeling just last night, because I wanted to read but I couldn't keep my eyes open! I hate it! So glad you enjoyed this chapter though, and glad you like my, er, Frodo's advice! God bless, Ellie
Arwen of Lorien · 5 May 2006 · Chapter 13: Home Again
Aww, how dear El, this was such a nice chapter. Can't wait tell Sam starts spreading the dust and seeds! That will be nice for everyone. You made pip so cute! Glad he and Fro got to talk! Hehe, so now they all have a girl ('sept Fro. :( Poor guy. I can't help but keep feeling bad for the dear hobbit!! Maybe he can have one wonderful event were he can forget his troubles fer a while? Puh-lease!! That would make me feel soo happy for him, no? Well, I trust Frodo and his friends in your skilled writting Elanor! Keep it up! Luv & God bless! Namarie ~Arwen
Author's reply
Can't wait till the Shire starts blooming! I only hope Bag End will look like your back yard(I love the fountains you guys put there!) Gotta love Pippin, huh? Well..... maybe I can put something in there for Frodo, but I already have six more chapters to post, and there's nothing yet. Poor Frodo indeed. Glad you trust me with our beloved hobbitses! I promise I'll put them right back where they belong! Luv ya girly! God bless, Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 21 April 2006 · Chapter 12: Luck at Last
Well, of course Frodo would be a wonderful deputy Mayor. It's too bad he doesn't care for the job; it does give him something to occupy his thoughts, after all. Love the talk with Aragorn at the end, and I found myself laughing a little at the horses, having just read your latest Estel story. :) I love thos quiet moments between Frodo and Aragorn. God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Yes, and he is very good at planning and such. LOl, yeah, Aragorn and horses...thank you mellon nin! God bless, Ellie
Antane · 21 April 2006 · Chapter 12: Luck at Last
"It's good to see you smile, Frodo." Yes, it is! Always! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Isn't it, though? God bless, Ellie
Frodo Baggins · 19 April 2006 · Chapter 11: What Happened Next
Aw, that's so sweet how Frodo and Gen and Brend met up again. That's cool how you tied your other story into this one. Good show, dear! I'm glad Lergie was dealt with properly. His types make me so....uneasy. I feel sorry for them, and admire your courage to deal with them. Hannon le, for doing in such a way that was not offensive. Namarie, mellon nin! God Bless, Frodo Baggins
Author's reply
Thank you so much!!! I am glad you think so. God bless, mellon nin! Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 19 April 2006 · Chapter 11: What Happened Next
So, Lergie got banished, did he? Well, it serves him right, but now that it comes to it I almost pity him. Aren't hearts contradictory things? So nice to see Gen and Brend again, and to know that that pair of young rascals turned out well after all! :) Gen a father and Brend a Shiriff! What do you know! I'm glad for them. And thank you thank you thank you for updating so soon! :) God bless, Galadriel P.S. Can you imagine little Wanderer playing chess? *grins*
Author's reply
Hannon le for all your lovely comments! Yes I do sort of feel sorry for Lergie, but he had it comin' to him, didn't he? I hope we'll see more of Gen and Brend sometime in this story, but you never know where those darn plot bunnies will lead you! Wanderer playing chess? Hmmm, interesting thought.... God bless, mellon nin! Ellie
Arwen of Lorien · 19 April 2006 · Chapter 10: Breakfast
Yaahh!~ New chapters! Well! Glad Aragorn was there to help the hobbit friends figure out this mess! I loved the end of the Breakfast chapter, funny! Ohh eager to see how this will all turn out (not that I am looking forward to an ending to this great story!)*Heh* Luv and God bless! ~Arwen
Author's reply
Oh, it won't be over when they end this problem. So glad you liked this chapter! It was rather difficult to write. God bless mellon nin! Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 19 April 2006 · Chapter 10: Breakfast
Awwwww! Wanderer is just the cutest kitten *ever*! :) And that was a nicely-done, delicate little touch about Frodo's shoulder. "When he grows up he may leave me alone more." You can't hide anything, Frodo. :) You might not own it, but we all know you love having Wanderer so attached to you! :) Very cute! And I'm still giggling over this line: Aragorn nods, and I can see he's thankful I didn't explain exactly how we are related. He's heard enough of that from Merry and Pippin already. LOL! Yeah! I get lost after "fourth cousin," and I don't even get the removed thing. I can't wait for more, Ellie! I'm hanging on your every word now, and have been for several chapters! God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
I just LOVE Wanderer! Yes, I'm sure Frodo is very pleased that the kitten is attached to him, he just won't admit it! lol. *Heh* yeah, I tried to figure out exactly how they're all related, and all I know is they messed it up in the movie somehow, but I still can't figure it out! SO glad you're liking this! God bless, Ellie
Antane · 16 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party
Glad to see him having some fun! Sweet, loving reunion too with their king was a nice, welcome touch for them all. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thank you! I figured Frodo needed some fun after everything else thrown at him. Thanks for reviewing! God bless, Ellie
Antane · 16 April 2006 · Chapter 4: The Message
The official document that will seal my fate is sitting on Will's side table. It has only to be signed by the seven witnesses and I shall be locked into another task I am unsure I can accomplish. You can do it, darling. Believe in yourself as others believe in you. They can see what you cannot. Oh, Elanor, I am loving this. You have such a handle on our dear one and it's nice to hear Sam calling his brother-master 'dear'. Nice of Frodo to put out that he's not Sam's 'better' but I would think Sam is his equal at least. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
*blush* Thank you very much! God bless, Ellie
Antane · 16 April 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor
Elanor, Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! He is truly Risen! I am glad to see you have started another story! I am enjoying this as I do all your works. I ache that Frodo is beginning to suffer from declining self-esteem already in doubting his trustworthiness. So good to see Sam so caring. I love the way you write those two. And I love in your other story about their first meeting that Frodo falls asleep in Sam's lap. Truly those two were made for each other! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
He is risen indeed! So glad you are enjoying this one as well! God bless, Ellie
harrowcat · 16 April 2006 · Chapter 9: Motives
We are all with you Sam and Pippin. Nasty piece of work this Bracegirdle! Well done Elanor.
Author's reply
Thank you very much! God bless, Ellie
Grey Wonderer · 15 April 2006 · Chapter 9: Motives
("Some people are just bad, if you understand me," Sam says. "If they can't get what they want, they don't want anyone else to be happy neither.") Loved this bit of wisdom from Sam. I am glad to see they know who is behind it all even if they don't yet know what to do to put an end to it all. But Aragorn's there now so that may help a great deal.
Author's reply
Sam is such a dear, isn't he? Thanks for reviewing! God bless, Ellie
Queen Galadriel · 15 April 2006 · Chapter 9: Motives
Ah yes, this is good, Ellie. This chapter really helps explain things. (Sorry, I guess I was being impatient.) I should have known one of Lobelia's lot had something to do with this, but whoever started it is just slimy. They handle it well, though, and I'm very confident that the problem will be dealt with very well. God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Yeah, there's going to be more explaining coming too. I have it all figured out now, I hope. Glad you liked this! God bless, Ellie
