OMG that is sooo sad I'm crying inside! I expected Merry, but not Pippin that was a very good story!

*sigh*

Beautiful.

Thank you so much.

Author Reply: Thank YOU so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's sad, but at the same time lovely, I think. At least they weren't separated for very long.

Very good protrayal of their love for each other. Love the idea that Merry is Pippin's first memory and it was love at first sight for them both and that they died more or less together. Just as FrodoandSam were one, so were MerryandPippin. We should all be so lucky!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

My opinion is their bond is even stronger than Frodo and Sam's, but they ARE my favorite hobbits!

Thanks once again!

That was very well done. *sniff, sniff*

Author Reply: Thank you, GW! I almost left it complete where Merry took his last breath, "leaving Pippin alone and bereft". But I just couldn't end it there, it was too gut-wrenchingly sad. So I eased Pippin's pain by letting him pass on as well.

Thanks for commenting!

A sweet consideration of the last day--Pippin did well, and bravely!

Author Reply: Thank you, Elanor! I can't imagine what Pippin was going through, it must have been very difficult. But he stuck it out, which is what friends do for each other.

I can't see these two long surviving one another any more than I can see Frodo and Sam doing the same. And they knew the joy of reunion at the last before Aragorn could join them. How joyfully they must have welcomed him....

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and commenting, Larner! I agree, I don't see Merry without Pippin or vice versa ... as unhealthy as that might be according to today's psycho-babble!
