Aw, that turned out very sweet. I love the interactions between Pippin and his son, and in the flashback, with Merry and Frodo. Author Reply: Thank you for reading! I really appreciate it :) | |

Oh, that's a beautiful finish to the story! And I certainly think it fits very well with the beginning! Pippin loved him for all those reasons, but mainly because it seemed that Frodo was always there beside him, when he most needed him – when he was ill, or frightened. Those blurred half-awake memories from unhappy times in his short life so far had made it difficult to say whether Frodo had always been there when Pippin had thought he was; but what it came down to was that, wherever Frodo was, Pippin felt safe, and it didn’t really matter then what was real and what was a dream. What a beautiful paragraph, and what lovely insight into Pippin's relationship with Frodo! Author Reply: Thank you so much Dreamflower! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading this. | |

Pippin was instantly engulfed in a great big Brandybuck hug, which was all warm and snuggly, in that familiar Merry way. What a dear, tender, loving story. I love every bit of this conversation from beginning to end, and also Pippin's memories, which he's now shared with someone who truly appreciates them. Author Reply: Thank you for this lovely review, Shirebound, and for reading! | |

This is such a sweet story. I felt so sorry for little Farry. You bring him to life beautifully, with all the innocence and sweetness of spirit of little hobbits. I look forward to seeing where you are going with this. Author Reply: Thank you for your comments, Budgielover! I'm so glad you like my Farry - I do enjoy writing him. I see him as being very much his father's son, only more serious and, inexplicably, a bit wiser. :) The next part is half written, so I hope to post it fairly soon. | |

Even though I've read this before I happened upon it again tonight and couldn't help re-reading. It is such a sweet father/son moment and your Pippin as Da is just the cat's pajamas! I love, love, love it, and the line "ten times more daft" made me smile this time just as much as it did the first time I read it. Wonderful story! Made me smile all over! Author Reply: Oh, thank you so much! It makes me so happy that you enjoyed it - especially that you like my Pippin as Da, who I angsted over slightly, wondering if he was Pippinish enough. :) I'll try and get the next chapter written soon! *hugs* :) | |

It's not easy being the son of a hero. It's probably even more difficult being the small young son of a tall hero. And kids of all kinds are terribly good at picking up people's little frailties and holding them up for all to jeer at. I like Pippin's 'secret' thinking place - that's one illusion gone! Author Reply: It's not easy, but at least Faramir's tall hero dad is one that he can talk to about these sorts of things. Hopefully he'll have some good advice too :) Thank you for your comments! | |
