Thorin and Bilbo deserve each other.

Thorin has finally met his match.

Thorin and Bilbo are a pair. Face it. Thorin likes blonds.

This is just bittersweet. I know the ending of the book but the movie? uhg, I just cannot bring myself to watch it because I know I will be sobbing. Love this fanfic and will read the sequel of it :). Wonderful job here.

This is the very first story that I have taken the time to review. I am new to FanFiction, but this is saying something. You are an incredible writer! I absolutely love this story. I will keep an eye on it, but I haven't read past this chapter yet for fear of spoilers (I haven't finished the series). Keep up the amazing work!

Loved the story, even thought it was a tad depressing. Thank you for posting. :)

This is so well written and really sad - I probably would have cried if I wasn't following and reading When the Past Encroaches on the Present.

This was really sad, but lovely. Thanks!

It was very sad to read, but very beautifully written _

Wow. This was amazing. You nearly had me tearing by the end of this. Hopefully the companion piece may take a different path? Thanks for the wonderful read. :)

Omg that was so sad, the 3rd movie where (spoiler - but I think we all know by now!) thorin dies is gonna be so sad :-( like puppy being hit by a truck sad but it is how it goes in the book and our heroes don't always have happy endings. Keep up the good work hope to see more like from you in the future!

Okay, I did review that I feel like crying at the last chapter. But now I really am crying...like a grown baby... God...I don't know...

Iin my eyes this fic is very simple. No granduer use of description (which I really like), no hard british words that I might not know. But through out the whole fic I could definitely feel Bilbo's grief, damn, this fic might as well reeks of grief. I don't know. I haven't cried reading any Thilbo fanfic even with Thorin's death, but this one just stole my heart. Probably that's why when I saw the fourth chapter I just have this dreadful feeling of not wanting to read it. Because I knew that I'll cry. And this is what happens to me.

Anyway, please excuse my rambling. I'm off reading your other fanfic to console my sadness and depression. Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful read...

Okay, so.
As I read this, I have just finished watching the end of Return of the King, which makes me cry every time without fail.
I am now balling shamelessly onto my keyboard; I definitely did not want to be reminded that Thorin dies. Though I have read the book several times, I forgot, in my shipping of these two, how it ends.
However, I forgive you because FEELS. I love feels. I really, really do. And you just broke mine completely.
Thank you, sincerely. I enjoyed this thoroughly, though I don't think I'll be able to stop crying for the next few days.
Bravo, I say.

;A; I really enjoyed this story and the emphasis placed on the relationship between the two throughout the events in the movie and book.

Oh dear, oh my heart... This last chapter now has the distinct honor (?) of being the first time I've actually teared up over Thilbo. This ship, over the past two weeks, has broken my heart and made me go crazy in feels, but I've never actually cried. Until now. ;_; Urghghgh so beautiful, realistic and tragic. Well done, well done.
