Blood Ties  by Pipspebble 8 Review(s)

'How will there be a Shire withotu Frodo?" My thoughts exactly. Thank you for this, helping to assague the pain of Frodo's departure, at least for me. Always has been a point of depression for me. Thanks for this and so many other tales!

I don't know how I missed this, over at the talechallenge site. It's so heartbreakingly sweet and beautiful. It's so hard to accept the loss of a loved one even when, like Merry and Pippin, you know it is for the best. I love how Merry is more concerned with Pippin's pain than his own.

That night his cousin wept silent tears, tears that would come only in his sleep, tears he would not show in the light of day. Merry simply held him, and quietly shed a few of his own.

Pippin crying makes me cry too. *sniff*

I like this one so much that I had to review it again here too! This is just such a perfect story and it shows the love that the three cousins share so well. You did a wonderful job on this.

That was beautifully written - I have tears in my eyes!

Oh, I am so glad you posted this here! It is just as beautiful, lyrical and sweetly melancholy this time around as it was the first. Of all the stories of Merry and Pippin after Frodo leaves, this is the best I have read. Thank you so much for sharing it!
