| Thank you Author Reply: You're welcome! Thank you for the suggestion! | |

| I love your description in here- indeed Rosie is glad her love has returned. Author Reply: Thank you! It amazed me when I realized that Rosie knew Sam was coming home months before he actually arrived! She told him she'd been expecting him since the spring! (I chose to believe that somehow she was aware of the destruction of the Ring, even so many leagues away.) | |

| These are so sweet. I especially love how Rosie thought of Sam. :*) Author Reply: Thank you! The Professor showed us such a tiny glimpse of Rosie, and yet she was such a strong character, she almost jumped off the page and into my heart. | |

| Poor Eowyn. Author Reply: She was so hopeless at this point. I am so glad that the Professor didn't give her the glorious death in battle she craved but something much better – Faramir and his love! | |

| When i first read that in the books, it was such a climatic moment. Love your take on it. Author Reply: Thank you! It's a little muddled, but then so was Frodo's head when the Ring finally compelled him to claim It for his own. | |

| Such a terrible moment for Beregond- but it was for the loyalty for Faramir! Author Reply: Exactly! He knew when he left his post, that he'd traded his life for Faramir's. (As my hobbits like to say, "Anything worth doing is worth doing thoroughly.") But it's not just that. Beregond is the character who dragged me into fanfic-writing in the first place. I wish the Professor had written more about him! (Not only his fierce, desperate loyalty to Faramir here, but his warm welcome and animated conversation with Pippin also won my heart.) | |

| wow nice contrast to the last drabble where now Merry holds vigil for Pippin. Nicely done. Author Reply: Thank you! This drabble and the one before were actually a matched set (the titles are taken from a lullaby my mom used to sing), but I hadn't figured out about publishing sets of drabbles at the point these were posted. | |

| aww that last line really hit my heart. <3 How terrible it was for Pippin to see Merry suffer from the Black Breath. Author Reply: My heart is in my throat whenever I read scenes where one cousin is watching over the other, like here, in the Houses of Healing. How awful it must have been for Pippin before Aragorn entered the City. | |

| Dear young hobbits- love Merry and Pippin interactions. Author Reply: Oh, I do too! I love to stumble across fanfics that show the Travellers as children.. | |

| I love how it weaves between present and past with such melancholic hints in it. Nicely done. Author Reply: Thank you! I was fascinated by drabbles in my early years of fanfic reading and writing. They were a challenge to write and a wonder to read, to see how an author could condense a scene to a minimum of words, cutting all extraneous language until every word left in the drabble served a carefully-designed purpose! I think the exercise of drabble writing helped me to be less wordy in my regular writing, though I still suffer from wordiness. It's hard to break old habits. | |
