| I love this. I have only just gotten the chance to read it tonight and am enjoying it very much. Your Merry is wonderful. I like your vesion of all of these events. Laughed out loud at the talking bruise line. Very enjoyable story. | |

| As worried as Merry is about Pippin, I would think he'd ask about Frodo and Sam as well. But maybe he's afraid to ask, fearing that he will learn that his assumption that they're dead will be confirmed. Even if he didn't ask though, I'm surprised Aragorn didn't give him some information about them. Memory loss can be common with head injuries. Pippin must be confused and frightened of all the strange men about. Loved the comment about Queen Beruthiel's cats. | |

| Oh, I'm worried about Pippin and Merry but at the same time this chapter realy cheered me up. How very like Pippin. Author Reply: Poor Pippin's had a rough time (almost as bad as Merry) but now that his cousin is by his side, I think he'll recover quickly. I'm glad this chapter cheered you up. :) | |

| Poor, poor Merry! Poor, poor Pippin! I'm glad you didn't have him forgetting Merry, too; forgetting dear friends Leggy, Gimli, and Boromir is bad enough. Can't wait to see where you go with this one. Love the head injury angle; never seen it before. Looking forward to more chapters, and soon! Pretty please with a hobbit on top? Best, Pips Author Reply: Love the head injury angle; never seen it before. Grey Wonderer has done an excellent Pippin Amnesia!fic ('Thinking of You' I believe is the title) but it is set pre-Quest when Pippin is quite young. I don't know if I've seen any other amnesia fics either. I'm working as fast as I can on this but as I'm not really capable of sustained bouts of creativity, it takes a while to get anything decent nailed down. | |

| Oh no, memory loss! Poor Pippin. And poor Merry. I hope he's not too ill. To make a long story short; I really love this one. I like Pippin-recovering-after-being-crushed-by-a-troll stories. Author Reply: I like Pippin recovery stories too. I'm glad you're enjoying this one. :) | |

| Ooh, I am such a sucker for a good troll recovery story, like this one. And I had been hoping someone would do something with the head injury aspect of it some time. But...what are you doing to poor Merry!? It's not enough he has to worry about every single other hobbit, now you're making him seem physically ill, too? I hope he gets to feeling better soon. Author Reply: Poor Merry, he's really going through the wringer, but there is a reason for it, which will come clear in the next few chapters. | |

| At least nothing life threatening happened to Pippin! But oh dear, memeory loss? I don't think I have ever read about that in this situation, a great idea! I hope his memory returns soon, although I guess some of that would be painful! Gracious waking up and not remembering any of the people around you or how you got there! Maybe now Merry can get some rest and start looking a bit better! Looking forward to more! Author Reply: I've had one brief brush with amnesia (not as severe as Pippin's) and it was very frustrating. I think this is a perfect place to explore that sort of injury/trauma inspired memory loss. | |
