Nice story :). I loved the Tolkien quotes, they tied in really well, and the way Fleur used that as a mantra was great too.

I liked that you had Bill falling apart - from the books he seems to be a strong character, but it shows that after the war everyone breaks at some point. You also created the tension really well between Bill and Fleur.

I found the ending a little cliched, but it was also sweet and nicely rounded off the story.

i really enjoyed this!!! it's uplifting, well-written, and clever as well. well done :)
