Hey it’s the anon who triggered that awfulwonderful sad post about Dis months and months ago. I read the new chapter. And I just? AHHHHHHHHH dead. It was perfect and makes me just want MOREEEEEE but also? DISITH QUEEN DIS YES YES YES PERFECT AND UGH SO PERFECT

I am super glad it lived up to expectations, Nonnie!

(I had that ask in the back of my mind, the whole time I was writing that scene, actually. So you are in part responsible for it too, Nonnie!)

Oh my god, so much, what a wild ride of a chapter, Thranduil likes Gimli now, holy shit (tbh I’m still not used to Gimli and Legolas hanging around in Erebor), DURIN for god’s sake, the poor poor shire, and DÍS oh Dís she finally gets to rest, it’s after 3am here so this is probably incoherent but as usual I can’t find it in myself to regret it

(it really does feel weird to have them together in Erebor – probably why i was all: ‘right, LET’S GET THEM OUT OF HERE NOW, we’ve done all we needed to do!’)

*hugs* hope you got some rest, Nonnie!

I personally am not a fan of Bagginshield (dunno why, I just don’t like it) but I am hugely curious about Sansukh!! WHAT DO I DO??? :'(

UMMM IDK HERE’S SOME IDEAS

OPTION A: read it and ignore the Bagginshield as best you can!

OPTION B: download the thing and remove all mentions of Bagginshield (necessitates this effort on your part, tho)

OPTION C: don’t worry about reading it and just listen to the music or smthg? 

hope that helps!

“Understatement of the Age”-when dealing with Dwalin and Orla? Noo, never!(insert blatant sarcasm) Legolas, you are brilliant! Tables turn, huh Balin? Oh no, Gimli, you either train that boy a lot more or find another heir! What’s the matter Balin, don’t want to spend more time with your little cousin? Oh, Bilbo. Oh ho, Bilbo! And what we’ve been waiting for, the DDPG response to reclaiming the Shire! SQUEE! BABY TIME!!! Did not see that surprise coming. Good one Ori! (1/2)

Oh, Nori sees what’s going on, of course he does. Fili, good instincts to keep eyes on everything! Sweet brave Rosie. No wonder Sam fell so hard. G&L- On the road again(off key) Yay Laindawar! Barrels! LOLOLOLOL! No. No! Not so soon, not when things were just starting to look up! NO! In conclusion: I love you, I hate you, you write so I can almost imagine the professor doing the same, and your timing and shock factor are analogous to real life. I need to go back and read it 50 more times. (2/2)

eeeeee…!

ok spoilery discussion stuff here we go

Between them, Dwalin and Orla have sacrificed WAY too much and have still achieved their happy ending, and yes BOTH ARE SCARY (and soft soft SOFT AND SMOOSHY on the inside) so nup, they aren’t gonna be pressured into anything NO SIRREE.

I am so stoked you like the Nori-the-experienced-criminal bit, heh. I do like exploring that aspect of him every so often! AND HEHEHEHEH BABY-BAIT-AND-SWITCH, snrk, I have been planning that for (I shit you not) YEARS. 

Fili has definitely gotten the hang of this leader stuff, thanks to all of the watching over Frodo and Sam in Mordor. He’s gotten VERY GOOD at staying observant and knowing where best to deploy Nori and Kili!

ROSIEEEE. I really wanted to play a little more with her character, give her more to DO than just be a ‘prize’ or ‘reward’ or whatever. So, I am so glad you like what I did with her!

Laindawar, lol – he’ll pretend like CRAZY that he’s doing this bc nobility etc etc, but the reality is that he simply HATES SAURON. SO MUCH. The Greenwood is safe and free now, so he’s off to do his angry terrier elf bit in the Orocarni now 🙂

(poor poor firecracker Kara, stuck with laconic joker Jeri and snobbish prickly Laindawar, lol)

omg that is the most flattering thing, I am nowhere near NO WHERE NEAR the linguist the Professor was, and every time I post I really feel it. ahhhh that is such a beautiful confidence boost, thank you so much!! *hugs and hugs*

Brazil anon here and it must be super late for you now but I had to tell you that I couldn’t wait and started reading the chapter on the bus this morning and PEOPLE WERE STARING AT ME DETS THE END MADE ME A SOBBING MESS AND DAMN IT WAS SO GOOD EVERYTHING WAS SO HEARTMELTING AND HAPPYSAD I JUST!!!!! I love your fic so much damn I’m reading everything again from chapter one now because !!!!! I have so many feelings right now oh God

omg OMG omg

AHHHHH THANK YOU – and alksdjghfajs i hope you enjoy the re-read, that is just the LOVELIEST COMPLIMENT, I am squirming in my seat with happy and bashful and AHHH

thank you!!!

I’m really glad I was alone in my room when I checked my email, because Sansukh updated! And the noise I made probably frightened my fish, but no one heard it besides him (and he’s good at keeping secrets). I don’t want to mention any things I like specifically (in case you publish, I don’t want to spoil anyone who wasn’t able to read it yet), but OMG! This chapter was better than I expected or hoped for, I was laughing a lot and there were few tears. Thank you for writing an amazing fic!

*wibbles and flails a bit*

oh my gosh, now it’s my turn to be all emotional at work, aaaaaah *hugs tightly* thank you so so much!!
