This is the peaceful ending Bilbo deserved. Lovely.

And I so agree, Wormwood. Thank you so!

What a lovely ending for the challenge - such a good ending for Bilbo.

I am glad you think so, Curiouswombat. I have a few more water-focused drabbles I've added to this set, and will be posting them with the set on SoA, MPTT, FF.n, TTF, and HA, of course. Thank you so!

Lovely, a great way to imagine that moment.

I'm so glad you feel this way, Foxrafer. I love thinking of the time Bilbo and Frodo spent together on Tol Eressea, I find.

Oh, Larner, that's very moving, especially the last line, which brought a lump to my throat. Dear Bilbo.

To know that what I've written has moved others emotionally is among the greatest pleasures I've known, Azalaisdep! Thank you so! And I'm so glad that the Master gave us both Bilbo and Frodo!

That's the perfect way for Bilbo to go, I think. Beautiful.

And I so agree, reassured his dear lad was again reaching for the joys of this life before looking to the next. Thank you so, Clodia!
