| Whether AU or just anticipation by one or both of our boys, this is all too likely a scene. Thank you. Author Reply: No, thank *you*! I'm stunned that you slogged through all these ficlets, and in so short a period of time, too! In my first draft Merry's dream was an actual visitation from Pippin's spirit, since I had the idea that while he was dreaming, Pippin had already had his encounter with the troll at the Black Gate. That would've been nicely angsty, but then I realized my story took place too early in the timeline for that-Pippin's company would've been somewhere around Osgiliath, if I got it right. (My middle-name is 'Slavishly Devoted to Canon';o)So it's more likely just Merry's worry expressing itself...and boy howdy, listen to me ramble. But still, I appreciate your reviews, and thank you so much! | |

| This is wonderful, so sweet and melancholy and dear. I love Merry's embarassment, Eowyn's practicality, and the way they comfort one another. Poor Merry. | |

| Citrine, this is just beautiful. You really are a gem. A gorgeous collection of ficlets. . . . and I'm not really a ficlet fan, but these are too good to not reviw. "But Eowyn, without any of the embarrassment a well-bred Lady should show, casually yanked the blanket off and shook it out over him, tucking it around him as if she were his mother." Wow! what a sentence! This is so immediate and fresh and real--Tolkien might not ever have written that Eowyn "yanked" anything, but he should have. This is fantastic. And that whole last paragraph -- poetry in motion, for lack of a better phrase. Sheer joy to read, and to feel. I can smell the air and see the sky. Such a beautiful ending. You are TALENTED, woman! Love it, love it! So deep, so special, so canon, such great fic. Please write more. I'll be watching down the road for you. Happy typing, Esamen Author Reply: Eep! Please, I'm blushing! *Feels ego expanding* Wow, thank you so much! But I'm afraid it may be a while before I add another ficlet, since I want to concentrate on something else that's taking up all my brain-space at the moment. But hang in there, and I'll get back to it as soon as I can. And you know, the word 'yanked' feels...not quite right to me, but I just couldn't think of anything else that fit-'pulled' seemed too bland, 'jerked' seemed too harsh, and 'tugged' seemed too cute. Ah well, back to the thesaurus... | |

| Adorable. I'd love to see your Merry's reaction to Eowyn's whirlwind romance. Here, have a bunny. --Chibi-Kaz Author Reply: Thank you so much for reading, but if people keep handing me these critters, I'm going to have to stock up on carrots;o)Hmm, Merry did seem to be rather sweet on Eowyn here, didn't he? *nibblenibble* Down, bunnies, down! | |
