| awww Merry! the last bit really surprised me since i was thinking it woudl be all uphill recovering from there but i guess the "trauma" from the Quest still is very much in the hobbits' minds.... It's so cool to see Pippin comfort Merry though--i really liked that. I'm sure there would be nightmares for all hobbits since this Quest really had them going through so much. It's really interesting to think about the psychological effects of the Quest and i guess that's why Angst is so popular in fanon. :D Great chapter~ i also really liked the part in which Pippin knew that Merry had a headache--the scene by the stream was wonderfully described as well and Legolas being there was great as well for this is Fellowship bonding time again. :D but your Merry is my highlight of this story. :D <3Merry! :D Author Reply: I had to throw in one more little bit of drama before the end, just to keep everyone on their toes, lol. :) | |

Real Nice! Finally on there way to there picnic... Merry get's a headache and I was wondering if it wasn't a sign of him getting ill. Legolas and Merry playing draughts,of course Legolas being an elf was no surprise he couln't beat him. A nice place for a picnic,all the nice wildflowers and butterfly's about,nice vivid images... Of course pippin is getting better,can walk better,they had a nice picnic,yet merry has a terrible nightmare. Perhaps the shadow has returned in his dreams,hi hand is cold,and he is trembling. Pippin is there to care for him this time,and merry is luled back to sleep with pippin singing a lullabye... Aragorn will want to see to merry in the morning.... A great story..Update soon... Author Reply: You are right, Aragorn will want to see Merry in the morning and he is certain to be concerned about that dream. I'm glad you liked the imagery from the meadow. I'll update as soon as I can. :) | |

| I loved so many things about this chapter... the memories of the beech grove by the Water, Pippin knowing Merry so well (and are the headaches significant?), the game, the picnic, the nap, why, even the nightmare (actually, the comfort afterwards). Ah, Pippin, I'm afraid you fight unfairly--humming a lullaby, indeed! Author Reply: Thanks for the lovely review. Don't worry about the headache, that was just from standing around trying not to be bored all day. That sort of thing always gives me a headache, and so Merry got a headache as well, poor thing. Yes, Pippin is a stinker. He knows Merry well enough to know what it's going to take to make his worrier of a cousin relax, and he doesn't hesitate to use anything in his arsenal, even ancient lullabies. :) | |

| Oooooooooh! I love this story!! What a great chapter, can't wait for the next! But I must ask you, even though I do think I know the answer, but what's the harm in asking? Is Merry over the shadow, YET? Lol, once again, great story! =) Author Reply: I love your reviews, lol. Once again, I can't really answer your question, you'll just have to wait and see. I'm glad to hear that you are still enjoying the story - even without the answer to your burning question. :) | |

| Sometimes it is hard to get over nightmares, even when you have family to comfort you. It will take time. Author Reply: You've got it exactly. These nightmares of Merry's and Pippin's aren't going to go away anytime soon. They will be dealing with their trauma for a long time, but luckily they do have each other there to comfort them when they wake. Thanks for reading. :) | |

| I guess that beech grove is turning into the naping grove! At least it is somewhere where it seems everyone is able to rest. What a lovely place for a picnic! I'm glad they all had a good time. But it seems the nights aren't about to be easy for neither Merry or Pippin! Looking forward to more! Author Reply: The beech grove is such a peaceful place and Merry and Pippin are both still recovering and in need of a lot of sleep, so it's an ideal place for them to drift off. As for the nights, Merry and Pippin (and Frodo and Sam, when they wake up) have experienced enough horror to fuel their nightmares for a long time to come. Thanks for reading. :) | |
