“My Halfling,” he whispered.

“I’m not half of anything,” Bilbo replied softly.

“You are half of me.“

cicerothewriter said: Death in the Diplomatic Service remains one of my all-time favorites.  It was so awesome.

Aw, thanks, m’dear! The reception it received still takes me totally by surprise, to be honest. And you know your At the House of Lord Albans is just perfect, right? :) Ah, the feels...

I owe replies from the post I made, because you’re all...yup, going to cry again, but hopefully for a better reason.

heyerette - Thank you so, so much. I know you’re such a hardcore Thorin/Bilbo shipper and you’ve been so adoring of all the pairings in the fic. That’s meant a lot to me because I know how rare that can be. So know that you are adored, and your comments mean everything to me. <3

@serenbach86 - I keep trying to tag you and it won’t let me! But yes, thank you so much. It’s not a ‘consolation’, it’s everything to me. I cannot describe to you how much that means, that it was there to help you during hard times. My readers were there to support me through some very, very dark times. I’m so thankful that I could reciprocate. *hugs*

doomtwinkie - Oh ye of the awesomeness who made me laugh a little - thank you for being your amazing self. I can’t express how much your friendship means to me, I really can’t. <3

elenothar - Yeah, you made me cry again, but it was for a good reason. Thank you so much for being my friend, my support, my shoulder, my editor, my everything through this crazy journey. And even again, you’re here to support me. I don’t know what I’d do without you. *hugs tight*

cicerothewriter - It’s a very knee-jerk reaction, to just make it all go away, and I don’t think I’ll delete it. At least, not right now. Those nerves, though... thank you for being the beautiful being that you are. I can’t tell you how much it’s meant to me through the entire series. <3

eowynsmusings - The Tolkien fandom has been one of the kindest fandoms, but there are always parts of any fandom filled with angry people. It’s so hard to take it because I created the series for people to enjoy. I didn’t want kudos, or comments, or likes, or whatever the hell for it. I wrote it because I enjoyed writing it, I posted it because I enjoyed chatting and commenting back to people. So to have someone basically spit on it and say it wasn’t good enough just breaks my heart. People like you, though, make it worthwhile. Because you’re lovely and amazing and have such a good heart. Thank you for being my friend darling. *hugs tight*
