Many Happy Returns  by Grey Wonderer 105 Review(s)

Yayy! Pip *finally* got his dance with Diamond! This was lovely, the whole story was, in fact; I really loved your ending, with Saradoc coming in and finding the lads asleep, and realizing that however much they have changed in some ways, in the important ways, they are still just themselves. Beautiful! Thanks for wonderful story!

Author Reply: I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. I couldn't let Pip not get his dance on his birthday. As for the ending, I had thought to go another way with Estella and Merry the next day, but decided against it and went with this quieter ending. I shall save Estella and Merry for another story.....

Ah! What a wonderful ending! I like your Estella. It was fun seeing the conspiracy they all made towards getting Pip and Diamond to dance, and how nice it ended. I love your Saradoc too, he loves his Merry so much and it`s wonderful to read about the care he has for his son. Wonderful story!

Author Reply: Thank you! For some reason I have always been fond of Saradoc. Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Bravo!!!! Most excellent!! It was worth being dangled over the cliff. I adore the part at the end with Saradoc as well.

Author Reply: Thank you. Sorry about the cliff business. LOL That bit on the end with Saradoc was a last-minute decision. I am very glad to see that it worked.

Thank you.

I love your hobbits and I'm hoping we will see more of them. I'm truely hoping that we will learn more about the romancing of our favourite hobbits.

Again, thank you!

Author Reply: I had no intention of writing any sort of romance when I started this one. It was going to be mostly birthday silliness, but then Diamond showed up and all of the sudden it was a bit of a romance. I'm glad you enjoyed it and my take on the hobbits.

"Then close your mouth and dance you vile, annoying, pest or I will break several of your fingers,"Estella assured him. - GW

Dang! LOL...Merry had a tough little bird on his hands!! :-) I really am enjoying your viewpoint on Pippin and Estella's initial relationship. I've thought about it from time to time, but I've not really written a *canon* story surrounding them--and probably won't for a long while, so I've not explored it. Very nice!

Author Reply: I believe that eventually they became very close, but I think the beginning must have been a bit rough on both of them. I don't think Merry would have been happy with a quiet, easy-going lass and so I write Estella with a strong will of her own. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with them when you get around to it.

Fantastic!! Loved young Pippin "turning on the charm"...perhaps that's why he's got me wrapped around his hobbity little finger! Onto the next chapter...

Author Reply: Yes, charm and lots of cake. Could life be any better? LOL

Poor Peregrin. He reminds me of several lads I know - not to mention myself! I really liked the scene of Pippin and Estella dancing - I really love the relationship you've developed between those two.

This was such a clever story - you managed to work all those little stories into it very well. Great work, GW!

Author Reply: So glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

What a great description of the dance! I was laughing the entire time. Luckely this time it wasn't only Pippin who made a mess of things :)

Author Reply: Glad that it made you laugh. Pippin had plenty of help this time.

I loved this chapter, I was laughing throughout. I loved the dance contest between Pippin and Estella and poor Fordo being crushed under them all. Great story.

Author Reply: Thank you. I have one last chapter to post and then I think I will be finished with this one. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

DreamflowerReviewed Chapter: 13 on 7/4/2004
Now this was a hoot! I love it! But Merry is really going to have to take Estella and Pippin both in hand and make them realize they have to share him, poor guy. And Frodo did accomplish what he set out to do, even if he did get a bit squashed!

Author Reply: It didn't work out like Frodo had hoped, but then match-making can be dangerous. Yes, Merry has his work cut out for him doesn't he. Let's just hope he gets to finish healing up before he has to face this task.
