That was beautifully written and very touching. I lived the remembrances! So many there and all kind of lost in their own moment and I loved Pip..... | |

Sweet and lovely. A great contrast to the previous tale, each voice being distinctive and true to character. I like the way Sam isn't afraid to say what others are thinking but don't dare speak aloud. Now for the next....... ~~~{~@ Author Reply: Thank you, Armariel! It had to be a very hard time for the three of them, and a great relief to know that Frodo would get better. | |

I had written a longer review, but when I went to post it, I hit the wrong key and sent it to the great ciber-beyond. Suffice to say that I liked this very much and don't know how I missed seeing it till now. Thanks Author Reply: Thank you so very much, Garnet :) I love to hear the stories are enjoyed. :) | |

One of the many ways to get rid of grief or trauma is to talk about it, and it seems that that is just what our lads were doing. Bless their wee hearts. Thanks for sharing! Pippinfan Author Reply: Yes, they are good close friends and kin, they would eventually talk to each other about it all. Thank you, Pippinfan:) | |

They needed to talk it out, to look at the truth of their lives now. Author Reply: Yes. Little do they know it's only the beginning of their frightening experiences. Thank you, Larner, for reading and responding :) | |

What a great gapfiller! VWD indeed! Pippin in particular had been light of heart and under foot (Wonderful turn of phrase and so very in character.) “Strider carried you and me, Merry,” Pippin said. “And Glorfindel carried Sam. I had wondered how we would cross as the water was up to Frodo’s feet while he crossed on the horse, and that was before the flooding.” (You know, I've often wondered about this when reading that passage, and Frodo's awakening. And though I didn't clip it, the description of the horse guarding Frodo was also excellent, told more through the reactions of the hobbits than details about the horse itself, which I think could be summed up with the words "wild-eyed". Very nice storytelling through conversation!) Merry looked at Pippin as though the lad hadn’t a brain in his head, though it was more irritation with himself that Pippin had noticed that detail while he had not. (This sounds so true to life!) Tears that had come in small spurts before, quickly dried and hidden behind hopeful words to their unconscious friend and kinsman, now ran freely. (Once again, a gem that shines from the page, and tells so much in so few words.) Thanks for the waker-upper this morning! Author Reply: Lin, thank you for such a wonderful response :) I don't know what I'd do without Marigold's challenges, of late it seems that I don't come up with many plot ideas on my own. So glad you enjoyed this one :) | |
