Stars and Sniffles  by SlightlyTookish 4 Review(s)

“It’s still here, Gandalf, but it is always very difficult to get anything out of you. I was trying to decide what to ask first.”

Awww... dear Pippin.

I love your Gandalf and Pippin together. Gandalf reminds me so much of a grandfather looking after his grandson - much as he does in some of the Minas Tirith scenes. And yet he remains Gandalf... he will keep his secrets, even from a curious Took.

Author Reply: Thanks so much! I also envision their relationship as that of a grandfather and grandson, and I love it that way - and, as you say, Gandalf is still Gandalf, and keeps his secrets. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading this. Thanks :D

See, i had to read *at least* this part to see where the stars came from (see how the other fic lead me here? ;) ...I love worried!Frodo in the previous chapter and i like how Pippin first talked about stars and liking them and Gandalf bringing them down fro him for just a little while. :)
So cool.

Author Reply: Heehee, I'm glad the other fic led you here! Thanks for reading this one too...it was my first "long" story and the first time I wrote Gandalf. And I'm glad you like the stars as well...they're fun to write :D
Thanks!

I love this idea of Gandalf pulling the stars from the sky for sick Pippin, and especially the way that Pippin thanked them for visiting as he let them go. Lovely chapter. :-)

Author Reply: I'm very glad you liked it! Thank you for your kind words :)

Is there anything sweeter than a good-hearted, trusting hobbit lad being looked after by a good-hearted wizard who wants to give the lad a special gift? I love how Pippin is as gentle with the stars as Gandalf is with him. *happy sigh*

Author Reply: Thanks, Shirebound! This whole story came about because I love Pippin and Gandalf's friendship - that underneath all the sternness, Gandalf truly cares for Pippin - so I'm really glad you like it :)
