Aww! I hoped there would be more Merry angst! The torture scenes were too short! I enjoyed it though. And Frodo and Sam being right stubborn scamps!

Very nice! I loved every moment of it! Five stars *****!

A wonderful story. Tender and frightening all at the same time. And Merry was so brave! And dear Pippin and all of his gesturing. And strong solid Sam! Wonderful! Frodo so worried about his cousins that he would put the Ring on Merry and offer himself. Aragorn the wise protector and body guard. I loved it!

Oh, now that was enjoyable! I do like pre-Rivendell, post-Weathertop stuff... The Flight to the Ford is probably the one chapter I have read MORE than any other part of the trilogy - and these little outtake stories are just delicious! Thank you for this one!

Author Reply: Thank you! It is fun to focus on one hobbit's POV. I can't help but think what Merry would have done if he knew what was ahead of him ... or any of them. There's a short story in there somewhere...

Whoa, what a roller-coaster ride! I read in haste, I review in haste, I wish I had the leisure to cut and paste my favourite bits! What a wonderful writer you are! Is there more to this story, or is it complete in four chapters?

Author Reply: Hi Lindelea! I was going to email you but just discovered this reply function. This site just keeps getting better and better. Thank you very much for the compliment, and I return it. To answer your question, this story is complete in four chapters - it's a short one.
