Hobbits always find some humor in a dire situation and that is what i love about them. I love you too. But you never answered my question!' 'What question was that?' 'Do you have any warts?' lol! Love that. | |

he last sound he heard after his eyes drifted closed was her whispered, 'Dream well, my love. Dream of love, and light, and healing, and joy.' I like moments of peace and serenity. The hobbits have gone though so much! Great that Estella is there for Merry in here and Merry can relax into sleep. | |

It is a wonder what the Elven cloak did for Merry. A small, numb corner of his mind, strangely calm, noted the absence of scorch marks on the outermost cloak itself. Elvish, the thought whispered within him, and, Perhaps it gained him some time and a chance at life... protected him, somehow, through its Elvish magic. He could scarcely breathe as hope and fear warred within him. I like your description in here and you capture Saradoc's feelings in this desperate moment very well. Poor hobbits! I liked the healing details that you have. Question- why did MErry not want Estella to be by him? | |

Lin! "She sighed, and Pippin looked up with a smile, some of the old impishness showing in his eyes." Yeah!!! happy to read this!! I am going to have to re-read some of the stories you have mentioned! Thanks! (((hugs))) MM | |

Lin! "Pippin smiled grimly. 'Oh, aye,' he said, and this time he spoke the thought aloud for Merry's benefit. 'A little brother is quite as valuable as a wee cousin when it comes to trouble.'" So very true! But I do think that now at Pippin is a wiser hobbit. I like the shape of this story. It has a nice flow to it. And it is good to that Doderas grew into a good natured Hobbit. People can grow out their earlier misbehavior. Of course, stern words from first Pippin and Saradoc may have had a great deal to do with it! Good to see young hobbits rescued from their folly. (((hugs))) MM P.S. hope you are on the mend! | |

Lin! "'I'm doing my best, Frodo ... but I don't know if my best is good enough.' Merry rubbed his stinging eyes and spoke to the surrounding shadows. 'How do I keep walking in the light when the wind's blown out the lamp, and all around is dark? I can't seem to remember anymore...' " *weep* Poor Merry he is trying so hard! *wibble* "Though the son of the Master responded so softly, it might have been a mere exhalation, all of them heard Merry's whisper. 'No matter what happens. That's a promise.'" Sigh... (((hugs))) MM | |

Lin! *sob* "Estella lay curled on her side in the big bed. He shed his dripping things, slipped on dry clothes, and sat down tentatively by her. She awakened with a whimper, and he gathered her into his arms, murmuring broken words of comfort as they wept together." These are the times that try a Hobbit's soul. ~*~*~*~ "As Pippin finished his hot drink, Merry touched his arm. 'We'd better get going.' 'Oh, aye,' the younger cousin drawled, rolling his eyes. 'No rest for the weary.' They have definitely grown into their roles of responsibility. Dear Hobbits! ~*~*~*~ (((hugs))) MM P.S. I read your update on "This and That" Hope that you are feeling better. (((Extra Hugs))) If you up for it. Chapter 29 of "Destiny's Child" is up! | |

Lin! First of all. Yeah! A double wedding!! And Paladin is there!!! Yeah. If he wasn't I was going to climb into the story and slap him upside the head. Secondly! I have of late been reading about Tolkien and what his writing meant to him. Your poems remind me of what I have been reading. To Tolkien ...and C.S. Lewis poetry defines words more fully brings the words closer to the song that brought both Middle Earth and Narnia into being. "Making magic of the slow, haunting music." Manefesting joy out of the song. Echoing Tolkien's song. Absolutely lovely! Thank you for that!! (((hugs))) MM | |

Wow, what a chapter- you did really well with the description of the catastrophe and it is so angsty what will happen . I liked a lot of dialogue you had in the beginning and i also liked the past chapters' developments with Caradoc and Pippin and love all your Pippin and Diamond interactions- they are quite sweet. I hope that Merry and Pippin will be ok! Author Reply: It's nice to hear from you! I appreciate your feedback, especially hearing about the parts that jumped out at you, which helps me to see the story with fresh eyes. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts. | |
