| I love your eucatastrophe! Also love that song, and Merry's jumpiness. :D Author Reply: I'm more than a little fond of that AU myself! *grin* I've always liked Bilbo's "Man in the Moon" songs! | |

| Ah the Eucatastrophe Universe! How I love this - Pip up a tree, Frodo telling stories to all the little ones, Merry turning into a fuss-pot and nervous father-to-be and Sam finding that particularly funny. Delightful! I hope you had a lovely birthday with cake (though not too much!). | |

| “Uncle Frodo! Uncle Pip!” Flora Took, aged seven, interrupted by tugging on Frodo’s weskit. “What are ‘shoon’?” LOL!!! Well, actually I asked myself the very same question when I read that beautiful poem for the first time! Now I know, of course. And I also know the Hobbitons' interpretation (thanks to you) which I like very much! Thank you for this lovely story and a very (belated) happy birthday to you :) | |

| Ooh thank you for the lovely birthday present dear Dreamflower and Happy Birthday to you. Loved all the same bits as the others but I wondered if a bit of elvish had also rubbed off on Pippin as he is comfortable up a tree. But maybe it is just because he is a Took or spent too much time with Legolas! Author Reply: You are very welcome, and thank you, too! Well, my Pippin's always been more comfortable in trees. It's a part of my "fanon" that Frodo taught Pippin to climb trees when he was small. It's the Took in them, I suspect, as my Merry is rather afraid of heights, and won't climb trees at all unless he had to. (I think the idea rather rubbed off on me from one of the earliest stories I read--Baylor's "Care and Feeding") But it's figured as a plot point in a couple of my fics, such as "A First Time for Everything" and "Pippin the Protector". It's something he has in common with Legolas, and I think since the Quest, he spends even *more* time in trees, LOL! | |

| And happy birthday to you! *hugs* :) A lovely and very smile-and-laugh-provoking little bit of fluff! :) I always love any glimpse we get into the Eucatastrophe universe! I especially love Sam and Rose's conversation, and I think I agree with her: he can laugh now, but I have to laugh imagining how he was when Elanor was on the way. :D And those "misters" are pesky things...LOL! And now, I seem to have forgotten something important...*rushes off* God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: (((hugs back))) I love to write in the Eucatastrophe-verse! It's fun to imagine how things could be if it were so! Yes, it is different when it's someone else, LOL! But sometimes, having gone through a nerve-wracking experience oneself is what *makes* it funny when someone else has to! *grin* Thank you for the lovely review, dear! | |

| Thank you, Dreamflower, for such a lovely birthday present! You painted a lovely picture. I liked Pip up in the tree and Frodo telling stories. Merry so quick to tend to Estella and Rose and Sam's conversation. Wonderful! Author Reply: So glad you enjoyed it, dear! It's always so much fun for me to write about this universe! | |

| haven't read it yet. But I read that it is your birthday gift. So, uh, happy birthday! May be it hobbity and filled with joy! Yours, Frodo Baggins Author Reply: Thank you, dear! I had a very nice birthday! | |

| What -- Frodo's not having a huge cake brought in so that he can eat half of it and then get sick? ;-) I do love the thought that Frodo loved the children around him -- yet perhaps, have you ever entertained the thought of Frodo having his own bairns? I don't think it would be too far fetched in *this* universe, however, *you* are the author and I will enjoy whatever you write. :-) Happy birthday, dear friend! PF Author Reply: *giggle* Frodo had a giant birthday cake *before* he left the Shire, and it was Pippin ate half of it then, though he didn't get sick, as he didn't eat all of that in one night! My Frodo, even in this AU, is perfectly happy to be "Uncle" Frodo. And he has further adventures ahead of him, if I can ever get one particular fic past the planning stages... | |

| Oh, I love that one (Larner looks at the bookshelf of the computer desk at "The Adventures" and "Bilbo's Last Song" and "The Biography of J.R.R. Tolkien" and smiles!). And I can certainly appreciate Sam's children wanting some clarification for archaic terms such as "shoon." And it IS more entertaining watching others scurry so than when it's ones own turn. Love it, Dreamflower. Author Reply: Well, I would imagine that even "shoes" were a foreign concept to most of them, and would never have heard that archaic plural. It IS, isn't it? LOL! | |

| Lovely! I do so wish that Frodo had spent his 55th in the Shire surrounded by little ones and his family. This was darling! I laughed at Sam's observation that it was much funnier when it was someone else doing the worrying when explaining about Merry to Rose. hehehe Author Reply: Well, in the "Eucatastrophe AU" he did. Everyone seems rather fond of that little observation. I can imagine that Sam found it quite amusing to watch the usually sure-of-himself Brandybuck all worried about his expectant wife. | |
