| Poor Merimac - one way or the other, it's always his fault. Good thing his shoulders are broad and his affection for his cousin is constant. Author Reply: His affection is constant and I believe he secretly likes being the bad influence :) | |

| Ah, love this moment between the two cousins as they find one more reason to bond together. I knew there was a reason I had Frodo turn to Mac as the one to teach him how to defend himself and others. Heh! Author Reply: Thanks a lot! And which story might that be where you have Frodo turn to Merimac as to one to teach him how to defend himself. Merimac has offered the same thing to him in my German story but Frodo declined - or rather, Merimac declined after finding out that Frodo could very well defend himself in a fight. | |

| Wow! This is great! I did read a couple of stories where Frodo was the one to rescue a young cousin (mostly Pippin, I think). But never before have I seen a story in which Frodo was rescued from a tree! And, my, could she kiss! LOL!!! Mac had a lot of practice before he finally married! But I forgive him, he's really a charming hobbit. "You should have taught me how to climb down as well," the lad declared. "You can't just show me how to climb up, you know. If momma knew about it she would rip off your head." So, Mac was Frodo's teacher? Well, he should have known... "But you caught me," Frodo pointed out and flung his arms around him as soon as Merimac scrambled into a sitting position. "You're my bestest cousin!" And this is of course the "bestest" compliment Merimac could have wished for :) Thank you very much, Lily! I enjoyed this story a great deal :) (BTW, I saw your Merimac icon and I think it's really lovely!) Author Reply: stories where Frodo was the one to rescue a young cousin I thought about that as well, but then - knowing some of these stories myself - I decided that Frodo must have known out of experience that young hobbit-lads sometimes end up on trees and don't dare to come down :) Mac had a lot of practice before he finally married! In kissing - yes :) So, Mac was Frodo's teacher? Of course he was. Nobody else is so close a cousin to Frodo and willing to teach all kinds of nonsense. Well, Saradoc might be but at this time he is busy courting Esme :) Merimac should have known perhaps, but then he didn't climb up to the very top with Frodo and the last few steps were no problem anymore for Frodo. Aren't they lovely icons? I need to make better screencaps, as soon as mom sends me my DVD, and then I might be swamped with Merimac icons :) | |
