I learned that it can take more courage to live than to die. This is very true, for everyone. A very nice conversation!

Yes, this stems from my own experience with depression. Thank you!

I have always held that the Creator has a marked sense of humor.

He must, how else would giraffes and anteaters exist!

I, too, have seen such an argument at that moment.

Oh, beautifully done. I love the little details that somehow make the scene come into focus in my mind as I'm reading. I am suddenly reminded of all the birthday suppers Frodo had, one every year after Bilbo went away, where he toasted Bilbo's health even though it was one of the things that made him an oddity in the eyes of (most) other Shirefolk. It is easy to imagine him saying to Bilbo, "...this is something I've wanted to say to you for a long time..."

Thank You! I've often thought that it was a rather cruel of Bilbo to raise Frodo as essentially his son and then abandon him as so as he turns the Hobbit equivalent of 18. Especially since Frodo had no other close family members and Merry and Pippin were young kids at the time.

I remember reading this on SWG. I liked it then, I like it so much now. Any chance for the new story about the new visit?
Author's reply
Thank You! I want to use the reborn Orcs as a subplot in a longer work but I write so slowly I have no ide when that will be.

My Blue Rose! That was lovely. A wonderful brotherly relationship. Boromir always trying to protect Faramir. Very touching! MM

Excellent responses to the prompts! I'm always curious as to what would have happened if Finduilas had lived. Hopefully Steward Boromir would still die valiantly so he wouldn't execute Faramir for treason...

Poor Maedhros; to have fallen so far that falling into fire was the only remedy he could envision. Well written.
shirebound · 20 August 2019 · Chapter 11: Happy Birthday
This is a sweet and moving moment between our two beloved hobbits.
Raksha The Demon · 27 April 2017 · Chapter 3: I Dream of Things That Never Were…
Interesting! I also think that Finduilas would have moved heaven and earth to keep Denethor from sacrificing Faramir, had she still lived. Whether Faramir would have obeyed her rather than his father/liege-lord is another matter. And the idea of Denethor dying young and Boromir becoming Steward at a young age, coupled with Faramir's disobeying him to follow a dream to Rivendell, is fascinating.

A lovely interpretation of some of the last moments of Faramir and Boromir's relationship.
