Cute! Faramir deserves some joy right now and hobbits know just how to do that. :) Love Frodo's smack on Merry's head too.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Well, Merry didn't believe he had been writing that much...

Haha!!!!!! Poor Faramir!

Author Reply: Well, Faramir didn't seem to be too put out by it all... at least, not yet...

This had me snickering the whole way through! This is SO Merry-- especially loved the conversations with Sam, Eomer and Frodo--but loved the whole thing. Maps? Yep. Itinerary? Yep. Planning a week in advance? Yep (although if he could have, I bet he would have planned even longer in advance!)

“I have not only glared at him. We have also had words.”

“Well, then, have words with him this night, and make them friendlier!”

“You do not seem to understand fealty, Holdwine. And why is this needed, again?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”


That made me hoot!

“How many pages of notes have you written, planning this?”

“More than you have, writing your book!”


And that made me hoot even more! That is not only SO Merry, it's so FRODO as well!

I wouldn't have minded seeing Gandalf's reaction to the invitation-- I don't think he'd have been surprised a lick; I'm sure he would have found it very Tookish!

Author Reply: Thanks! The hidden joke in all of this is that it looks as if (since it's driven by what Faramir wants) a good deal of Merry's plans went unused!

This was just delightful. Thank you so much!I loved the way the Hobbits were so determined.

Author Reply: Thanks for the prompt, and for the review! I think the hobbits would be *very* determined to make sure Faramir gets to have fun.

Oh, this is a fun story. I love the hobbits all conspiring to give Faramir a bachelor party; and the bit with Eomer is just perfect. There aren't enough hobbits/Faramir stories...

Author Reply: Thanks! I think all the hobbits would make sure to do especially fun things with Faramir, what with the loss of his father and brother and the not-quite-golden family relationships up to that point.
