| This is really lovely. I like the way you portray how much all the others care about Pippin, and the jump forward to Pippin and little Faramir at the end is very effective. | |

| Very nice closing, although I do think Pippin could have been a bit gentler with Faramir -- especially given all the care Merry, Frodo and Gandalf had shown him over the years. Thank you for posting this! Author Reply: I thought of that, but I wanted to show that Pippin was really distracted with his memories, and the effects of everything that had happened to him. Also, I picture Faramir a lot like his father, full of questions and hard to put to sleep! | |

| Pippin wasn't the only one to shed a few tears in this chapter! Very nicely written. I could really hear him when he talked about being "broken". Lovely portrayal of Gandalf as the comforter too. | |

| Very cool that you let Pippin be the one to hear something first. Hobbit ears are good for something :) | |

| I liked that! I great way to see you Pippin canquer his "monsters" and get the courage before he faces even bigger ones! I loved the conversation between Pippin and Gandalf, it was wonderful! I like that Pippin opened up and spoke with Gandalf when he wouldn't with anyone else. Thank you! Author Reply: Thank you! I think the hobbits thought of Gandalf rather like a grandfather, and it seems easier to talk to someone who is a little bit distanced from ourselves. Especially one who has seen as much as Gandalf! | |

| Lovely story. I like the way the entire Fellowship rallies around Pippin, and how they miss his pranks and chatter. I loved the way Gandalf knew that all he needed was reassurance that he was not a coward. And I got a real kick out of Sam being in on Pip's prank on Merry. And the little epilogue with Faramir and Merry brought it full circle. Author Reply: Oh, thank you! I picture Sam as being a very mature hobbit who sees things from a bit different perspective than the others. After all, he has brothers and sisters, and sometimes mischief is the best medicine! | |

| A beautiful story. I enjoyed every word of it. Hope you are planning to write more of these. I shall look forward to them. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy my other attempts as much as this one! | |

| Oh, but I liked this one! The way you wrote the characters, and especially the hobbits, was perfect, true to book and even the film. There were a lot of little details I liked in terms of interactions and the last part was a wonderful continuation and tie-in. Family and friends do help one face monsters... -Laura Author Reply: Thank you! That is one of the highest praises I could ever ask for! | |

| “I will speak with him when we stop for the night. And let us see if he will refuse to have words with me.” I love this line. I can imagine Gandlaf saying this and I love how you have written him to this point. All of the characters in this are so true to Tolkien and the descriptions are very vivid. | |
