Somewhat Grim to Look Upon  by Linda Hoyland 6 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 1 on 12/4/2013
A story as sweet as the hobbits' cakes, but not as sugary. Aragorn has had a lot to be grim about in his life; it is nice, and fitting, that he show his great happiness with a smile.

It is a delight as always to read about Faramir. :) I love that scene in the book of him waking to see Aragorn there. And I love Pippin's insistence to send hobbity love to their king. That would have elicited a smile I'm sure. And of course, it ends with a smile, as I knew it would. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

"He is smiling now," said Pippin. "I think it is the happiest smile I've ever seen!"

And it is no wonder that it was so! After all Aragorn waited a very long time for this moment.

Last but not least: Pippin is just wonderful in this little story!

Oh, but this was so very sweet. You write your hobbits really well.

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I'm delighted you enjoyed my story, especially as I don't see myself as a Hobbit writer.

Oh, yes, that smile would light up all of Gondor, I think! Hooray!

This was adorable! I love Pippin chiding Faramir about his appetite, but being perfectly willing to eat the Steward's share of the cakes. And insisting that Faramir give the King their *love* and not just "greetings".

And I am very glad that Pippin now knows why Aragorn was waiting to smile!

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I'm honoured that someone who writes Hobbits so well enjoyed my story.Pippin is fun to write.
