I love the ending

I just noticed, that Millie, Kili, and Fili rhyme (Idk why I find this relevant.)

I'm currently reading this story the second time. Its almost as good the second read-through, except that the ending isnt a mystery. also the reason my sentence structure is so bad is because i dont have the double u key or the eph key on my keyboard. yes it sucks. but the story is good. read it.

Thank you for the read!

This made me cry... I love it

I started out this story thinking it was absolute nonsense, basically a parody. I was only giving it a chance because the previous comment. I am now in my bed less than 24 hours later absolutely sobbing. Full on ugly crying. This was beautiful and I am glad I gave it a chance. Thank you so much for creating such a work of art and putting it out in the world for us to read.

i read the last review and i was like...2 in the morning and crying? why on Earth? and here i am, at one in the morning on a school night before chemistry finals and sobbing into my pillow as to not wake anyone up. Thank you so much for this masterpiece, it is incredible. It is beautiful and raw and real and hilarious.

it is four in the morning and i’m sitting here with tears streaming and a smile on my face. thank you

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I just wanted to say that this story is the most amazingly written, beautiful piece I have ever read on this website. I just love it. It makes me laugh and ugly cry at the same time and I think it’s just incredible and so well written. I followed it when you originally published it all those years ago and every now and then I still come back to find it and reread it. Thank you so much for writing this, I hope you’re well xo

Okay, I cried. I'm sitting here at 2:20 AM crying at a story. This story is so beautiful in so many ways. Okay, here we go as I tell you EXACTLY why I love this story.

Much of the story is comedy, but there's seriousness and sorrow, like every good story should have. Kili and Millie have a truly beautiful love story. I think my favorite part was the battle chapter when Millie was charging in to save Kili and Fili. Her thoughts right then were SO lovely. Their romance was believable, realistic. They weren't always lovey dovey with each other, and when they were, it wasn't FORCED. I really appreciate how you had them wait until their wedding night. The patient waiting just made it all the more sweet.

I love how you wrote it like the book, but added your own twists, and especially in the Battle of Five armies, how the only reason Fili and Kili DIDN'T die was directly because Millie was there. You didn't make everything all better afterwards, either. Millie had scars, Fili lost his eye, and (heartbreakingly) Thorin died, just like he did in the book.

I just really enjoyed how you were as an author too. I actually really liked the comments at the bottom of each chapter (as you said, justifying your decisions) because it was nice to know why you made changes, and also good that there WAS a reason for the changes. Even the chapters that you didn't think were very good were very well-written. I appreciated how you handled the wedding night, and THANK YOU for keeping it to something I could read with a clear conscience.

Also, one more thing and I'll stop, I think possibly the most beautiful line was from chapter nineteen: "Anyway, even if he HAD been covered in hair and had a belly the size of Bombur's, I would have liked him the same anyway. He was Kili - reckless, brave, charming, funny, LOVELY Kili." It was just so BEAUTIFUL, it made me wanna cry. It wasn't attraction, it was love. Anyway, I'll shut up now. Hope SOMEONE reads this, cus it took long enough to write. And THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for a well-written, realistic, beautiful story for me to read.

Ahh I love Millie and Kili so much! And Millie is so perfect for the “girl falls into Middle Earth” trope. Everything she does is so realistic and relatable. And I love her snark :)

oh god, i was not ready for the feels and the tears that you caused. Thank you

I love the character Millie, unlike most oc characters I read about I can really relate to this one, if I got dumped in middle earth suddenly, I would not end up being some bad ass elven maiden with awesome sills at fighting or any of that, I would be a bumbling idiot, who wonders around saying stupid comments that no one else would understand just like Millie
