| Rosemary in the woody end is always Ferdi's ace in the hole, isn't she? I think many times when he wanted to give up or take a chance, like here, the thought that he could always go to Rosemary made things bearable. Is he thinking that will be a safe place for Farry to run away to? I don't think stopping the post or trying to fool Pip or Diamond will work for long. At some point Pippin will come back, and then there will be no hiding either Faramir's absence or all the untruths told. Now, sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, so if all is over and fixed by then, no harm done, yet this is a long-brewing problem and likely will not be fixed easily or quickly. Ferdi can see through a brick wall in time, as they once said of Farmer Maggot, so I am sure a plan is brewing in his sharp mind. But will he come up with something quick enought to forstall the inevitable explosion? I'm looking forward to finding out what you've planned. I'm enjoying the characterization of Faramir as a little Pippin. He's just as stubborn as his father, cocky and confident, and not above borrowing a few farmyard goods in need, although he's much more serious than Pip ever was in his youth. Of course, Pippin's father was not Thain when Pip was a lad, nor had his father fought wars or seen the horrors that Pip did. Pip's childhood was much more carefree, and the older cousins that helped mold Pippin were very different than the trouble-batch Farry fell in with. (Merry and Frodo were troublemakers in their own way, but I think Pippin was much closer to them, and much more cared for by them, than Farry ever was with hs cousins.) I like Faramir, for all his irritating manner, I think mostly because I feel sorry for him, and see a very unhappy little lost boy in there. I hope he gets the attention he so obviously is looking for. | |

| A sequel already! I think its a sequel...I can't wait until all of your stories are posted here. I do hope nothing bad happens to Ferdi for his troubles. Now, I'm a bit confuesed on the time line. I think this is after "Down and Out" but before "At the End of His Rope." Am I correct? Anyway, its wonderful and I hope that you update soon! Author Reply: You are exactly right, this story takes place after "Down and Out" but just before "At the End of His Rope". For readers' convenience, I have a timeline of stories posted at fanfiction.net. Just do a search on authorname = Lindelea1 and you will see it on the bio page that comes up. The stories are laid out in order with dates attached. Glad you are enjoying it. It is still in the works, and seems to be writing itself without much help from me. I have already torn up the first outline of the story when a character started doing and saying unexpected things in chapter 6... now working from the second outline, and the characters seem to be more satisfied with the direction we're going, so we are making steady progress. I will try to update every other day, with updates to "Truth" on the days in-between. Thanks for reviewing! | |
