Chasing sunshine indeed. As Aragorn said, "His grief will teach him wisdom"; in seeking solace in the familiar, he appears to have already gained in wisdom. Lovely! (I adore reading stories like this one about Merry...)

Author Reply: Thank you so much! yes, i love that scene in the HoH and wish for more fic showing how Merry has gained wisdom in such a short time. how the hobbits grew in this Quest is a never ending fodder for more fic. :) I love reading more about Merry too.

Poor Sam, faced with such a hopeless task, and yet determined to carry it out or die trying.

And then hope returns with the news his Master isn't dead! But also alarm, and worry, and fear... How resourceful he was! And ironically, the Ring he bore probably helped him inspire fear, greed and anger in the Orcs upon his approach, helping him achieve his aim.

Author Reply: "Choices of Samwise" was one of the most heart-wrenching chapter in the story in my opinion. When i first read it, it was in disbelief and then i read the end and Tolkien left us with a cliffhanger until Book 6! I can write more fic on Sam and his emotions because it's such an emotional time for him.
I love Sam's dedication and loyalty to Frodo shown at this time and his will to keep going is just so respected and admired.

"warmer and less cold" echoes the previous drabble, tying the two narratives together even though they reflect the thoughts of different people in different places. Nice.

It has been a long time since he had felt the warmth of the sun. The Barrow had left him cold ... and he felt winter lifted (by the warmth of the home and Goldberry's song).

Oh! This is a perfect gapfiller! Wonderfully done. Using "winter" to epitomize the chill of evil and the barrow-wight worked very well. I love catching glimpses inside the hobbits' heads at various points in their journeys.

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I am so glad this drabble worked with you. We seldom hear from Pippin (or any hobbit) about how he felt after the occurrence with the Barrow-wight, so i'm glad to write this gap-filler about that.

This glimpse into Éowyn's thought process is lovely! Well done!

Author Reply: Thanks so much! i am always curious about that moment and love fic that covers the eventual falling of the guard of Eowyn and the moment she doesn't hold back.

Oh. This brought me to tears.

Wonderfully wrought.

Alas, poor Frodo.

You've done a marvellous job of giving us a glimpse of Frodo's private thoughts at this point in time.

Author Reply: Thank you! I think this was a pivotal moment as well and i'm glad that his thoughts resonated with you on what he may have thought.

All he did was hold her at the moment.

And that's all he needed to do.

Author Reply: =) They needed each other to heal. (upon reread that relationship struck me most )

I do love it when hobbits get hugged!

Author Reply: yes- those are the best scenes!
