| How I love this story! It's wonderful to see the younger cousin take charge and protect the older cousin. He had to grow up so fast on the Quest, having seen wonders and faced terrors and lived through battles and flames at his young age. Now he is wise beyond his years, even setting aside his own feelings in his desire to comfort Merry's pain at Frodo's absence. (And, of course, I can never get quite enough of Merry. I'm always happy to see a fanfic that takes him seriously.) I love the exchange near the end, that each one is there for the other – always. And the last paragraph paints an excellent picture of the young Travellers' life together, while reinforcing the need to honor Sam and Frodo for what they gave and suffered and sacrificed. Well done. Author Reply: Thank you so much! yes, i love cousin fics as well and i think Pippin being there for Merry is so key to recovery . THey shared so much together it's like that pub scene when they all cheers to each other wordlessly, like veterans of war, they need not say too much to comfort each other because they KNOW what they've gone through. I love Merry too--i like his character arc very much and find him speaking to me quite often. :) the need to honor Sam and Frodo for what they gave and suffered and sacrificed. that is such the crux of the story, isnt' it. THank yoU! | |
