Title - From One View to Another
Rating - PG
Summary - what do the Fellowship think of each other?
Notes . These characters belong to New Line and Tolkien. So please don't sue me.. Winterfilth is October in the Shire Reckoning. Frodo gave Sam Bag End after he sailed into the West.
Feedback - yes please! Be nice, this is my first fanfic. Email me at Scullym1ukyahoo.co.uk. Flames will be sent as usual to Fred the Balrog
Blondie 03 - So I take it you're a pervy Merry fancier then? :-)
Elf Maiden of Rivendell - thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the story.
Mara - good to know you think it's nice!
Baileymag - You liked Merry's chapter then? Good, good! Unfortunately this is the last chapter - but I've already got an idea for my next fic - unlike this one it'll probably end up being quite long. You have been warned! It's going to be a Hobbit fic so lots of Merry for everyone!
AAAclub - I wish it was 4 extra hours too. There's even worse news - the EE might not get released til December/January due to difficulties in tracking the cast down (due to being on different films etc) to do the cast commentary. :-( Have you seen the National Geographic program about ROTK? That has some of the drinking game scene in it. 'Last one standing wins!" lol.
Boromir - my fav...hmm difficult. I like them both, but I prefer the Hobbits. Yes indeed, I am a pervy Hobbit fancier!
Thank you all for being kind enough to review this - if there are any lurkers please de-lurk and introduce yourself. I won't bite. This is the last chapter but I hope you'll all enjoy it.
Chapter nine as written by Samwise Gamgee, son of Hamfast, Ringbearer and heir of Frodo
Bag End, Hobbiton, 6 Winterfilth, 1421 Shire Reckoning
I still can't believe it. Mr Frodo sailed away only a few days ago. I do hope he is all right. Tis would be a shame if he couldn't get that healing he needed. I'm just so... so sad that he couldn't stay here, with me and Rosie. I always thought that he would be here to teach my little 'uns their letters and tell them of our Journey. But what was it he said? Oh yes, that he saved the Shire, but not for himself. Sorry, I can't continue, I'll have to write the rest of this later.
Well, I'm back. It's just that I miss him. But I'm gonna have to try to be happy. He deserves his healing, even if it is in the West with the Elves. At least he'll have Mr Bilbo and Gandalf to keep him company til the day I sail over.
On our way back from the Havens Mr Merry and Master Pippin were singing joyful songs. They've grown up they have and I still can't make heads nor tails of it. All this talk about Ents and Ent-Draughts. Mr Merry had told me that they were sad 'bout Mr Frodo going, but he and Master Pippin were choosing to celebrate that he was gonna finally be at peace, and that they were honouring his memory by enjoying the Shire. I can see their point, though that doesn't stop it hurting that he's gone.
Mr Merry recently told me that Master Pippin is already being eyed up by the lasses due to him looking so lordly and fine in his Gondorian armour, especially by young Miss Diamond. I think he said she was from Long Cleeve. No doubt the Thain'll be happy 'bout that.
It'll be very different here now, what with there being a King now in the South. It's very queer to think that Strider, covered in mud and acting so cold is actually now King Elessar of Gondor! And right kingly he looks too, sitting on his throne. At least he'll have Legolas and Gimli to keep him company.
Little Elanor's just woken up. I'm gonna make the most of my time here, and just wait for the day when I can be reunited with my dear old master.
This is for you, Mr Frodo.
Samwise eventually sailed into the West following the death of his beloved wife Rose. It is not known whether he and his beloved master were reunited, or indeed if Frodo son of Drogo found his healing in the Blessed West. Samwise was the last of the Ring-bearers to leave Middle-Earth. Meriadoc and Peregrin became the most respected and famous Hobbits in all 4 farthings of the Shire, though they eventually left the Shire and went to visit King Eomer of Rohan. Following his death in the year 1484 of the Fourth Age (Shire Reckoning) they went to Gondor, and spent the remaining years of their lives there with King Elessar, and were buried in Minas Tirith with great honour. King Elessar passed away on 1 March 1541 (SR) and following his death Legolas Thranduilion and Gimli Elf-friend sailed into the West. Thus the Fellowship of the Ring came to an end in Middle-Earth.
