| A Time to Hope by PipMer | 5 Review(s) |

| I love the way Merry and Aragorn worry about each other as well as the three injured hobbits. I like the fact that each of them knows exactly how tired the other must be. It really is true that waiting can be the hardest thing of all and poor Merry certainly had his share of waiting to do. I look forward to more of this one. Author Reply: Thank you once again. I enjoyed how the interaction between Merry and Strider worked out, I think it's quite believable. Two friends comforting each other in a time of vigil over loved ones. It was actually quite enjoyable to write, even though I'm putting Merry through quite the worrisome time. | |

| What very fine dialogue! It was crisp and believable and moved things along very nicely. I almost always get into trouble when dialogue drives my story, but you do an excellent job here! I hope Pippin wakes up soon. Between this story and "The Blessing" I'm starting to feel like he's terminally unconscious! Well done! :) Author Reply: Thank you, elanor! Your comments mean a lot to me. I know what you mean; "The Blessing" is killing me! Poor Pippin; the lad sure goes through a lot in some of our stories, doesn't he? I seem to be drawn to angst, for some reason; it flows really easily for me. I envy Grey Wonderer, who can do humor so well. I would like to be able to do something a bit more light-hearted, but that sort of story just doesn't come to me very easily. | |

| Oh, how too easily can I see this! Poor Merry. And Aragorn's not the only one needing rest, obviously. Author Reply: True, Merry needs rest just as badly. I feel more sorry for him than I do the injured hobbits; at least they're all unconcious, with no awareness as to the hurts of their loved ones. Thanks for reading, Larner! | |

| While there's life, there's hope, Merry! Keep at it. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Exactly, Antane! My sentiments exactly. Thanks for commenting. | |

| It's lovely of Strider to take the time to smoke with Merry, and tell him that Pippin probably hears his voice. And quite impertinent (and delightful) of Merry to tell the king he needs to rest! (Which he does.) :) Author Reply: Thank you, shirebound! One of the things I love about the hobbits is that they don't stand on ceremony. Merry knew Aragorn as Strider, and that's how he continues to talk to him! Thanks for commenting! | |
