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

well HOLY fuck I've never cried so much reading a story as I did in those last chapters. From what happened to Thorin, the wedding, right to the end of it all you had me a darn sobbing mess. I adored your story so much, it have me life

I’ve reread this story more than once but every time the line:

The Pale Idiot then shouted something that sounded curiously like, 'Be ba dow bee', and I guess that had meant, 'Kill them, my pretties!'

Makes me ugly snort/laugh so hard and I have to thank you so much for that alone XD I love this story so much and I can’t remember if I reviewed back in the day when it was being updated but this is such a great story and my favorite OC story for the Hobbit by far.
Plus I love your writing overall (I need to catch up on your Star Trek one! )

Thank you so much!

I love this story and keep rereading it every now and then. But man do I forget every time how much I sob at the end

Casually crying but like in a good way (?) This was such a fitting finale for Millie’s story, like literally, I am so satisfied with how this ended. She lived a full life and was surrounded by love and that’s all a writer can hope for for their characters in the end, hahaha! Thank you so much for gifting us all with this wonderful story. I enjoyed Millie’s journey thoroughly!

I look forward to the rest of this tale!

You are an amazing author and a wonderful person and you have put so much happiness into this world. Bless you. Bless you for writing this wonderful story!

One-eyed king. There should be several dick jokes to go around with this one and I would expect Millie to use at least a couple on Fili to lighten his mood

AI! Why did I drink so much wine while reading this I know it is why I am so emotional but Fili oh my poor sweet Fili and Kili needs a freaking hug. Oh Thorin my king under the mountain they toook you too soon!

I remember my dad reading the part to me when Thorin died. I remember crying quietly because I didn not want him to stop and then forcefully putting it out of memory until I read the series on my own at 16 and I was stunned with horror when I relearned that Thorin had died and only after reading the passage again did I recall that yep I ignored that piece of the story because it hurt too damn much. You hurt me again I knew it was coming kinda but I had hoped Millie could prevent it.

"That's what she said" And this is why I love Millie

Oh man! "Pretty sure that guy Gollum was actually Dobby" LMAO so hard, then "they're just tails with faces!" Oh my god I have to pee!
