| I´m sensing angst on all sides here. Pervinca and Pimpernel are wise though with calming Paladin. You put a smile on my face when Merry didn`t know what breakfast it was and Pip woke to his niece asking what he was doing in his bed. Author Reply: Seems staying up all night will confuse you when it comes to things like where you fell asleep and which breakfast you're having. I think things will get more confusing before they resolve themselves. Thanks for the review! | |

| Poor Merry and Pippin! It is especially sad how Pippin thinks he can't go to his friends, but at least Frodo has come with a solution. Author Reply: Frodo's solution may surprise you at this point in things. Also, I don't believe any of them realize how hard it is on the others. Pippin's not the only one that believe that the others are fine. | |

| I really like how you juxtapose the reactions of Saradoc and Paladin to the problems of their sons. Saradoc seems to me more understanding of the fact that Merry will come to him in his own time, but that in the meanwhile he can only be there for him, Paladin, on the other hand, seems just frustrated, maybe even angry, that Pippin hasn’t come to him. I can’t wait to see Paladin developed. I can see him possibly being angry at himself that Pippin has not come to him, but then expressing it as anger towards Pippin as in this chapter. And poor Pippin, I feel so sad that he is feeling so out of place. On a lighter note, I love Ivy! She is very cute! Author Reply: thank you for this lovely review. I am glad that you are enjoying this so far.I always seem to write Saradoc as the understanding one and Paladin as the grumpy parent. No idea why. | |

| Oh, I like it. The darker tone works so well, especially for these late night remembrances. You capture perfectly the feelings of a parent who wants to help their child but knows he can't. I'm very interested to see where this goes. Keep it up. Author Reply: This one goes on for a bit unlike my recent little stories. I think Saradoc would have done anything to help Merry, but was held back by the fact that he was dealing with an adult hobbit rather than a child. Also, I do think that some of their family might have wanted to help but been afraid to know how bad things had really been for them. | |

| This looks like a promising story! Poor both Pippin and Merry though. They do have some hard times struggling with finding their place and lives back in the Shire. I`m sure the love of family and friends will help them along the way nicely. I do like your Saradoc too. Please update soon :) Author Reply: Thank you for the review and there will be more before long. | |

| I'm very glad to see you are continuing with this story! The way you describe Merry and Pippin's problems with ajusting to their old lives is very well done :) Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad you liked this part because there's more to come. Thank you for reading this one and reviewing. You are always a great help to me on these. | |

| Oh wonderful! I always wonder how our dear hobbits adjust to coming back to live in thier homes, it would be very difficult for them just to pick up where they left off. Very hard for their families as well, which you are showing wonderfuly! I liked how Saradoc wanted so much to help Merry but felt he shouldn't entrued too much either, very kind and understanding of him. Pervinca trying to help Pippin but him being to caught up in waking terrors. I'm looking forward to more and finding how they cope with things! I liked the last bit with Merry's sleep consciousness, thinkig it was Sam who had given him another blanket, very nice! Thank you! Author Reply: I can imagine each of them dreaming they were still traveling because they were gone so long and in so many different places. It might be hard for them to remember while sleeping that they were home. And if anyone might be up and giving out blankets in the night, it would be Sam. They all have alot of adjustments to make. Thanks for the review! | |

| Grown sons are harder sometimes than little ones! Goodness! Wonder if the same is true of daughters? You draw some lovely pictures with your words. I love the caring hobbit families who have no idea what their lads have been through (or do they?), and that Merry is still protecting Pippin even though they have returned to the bosom of their families. Looking forward to more. Thanks! Author Reply: I think it is much harder to want to help but to know they are all grown up and it has to be their choice whether or not to allow you in. I am guessing that daughters would also be difficult, though I don't have any of those. Thank you for your kind words and for reading. There will be more. This one may take a while. | |

| Ah, I got a little confused at the start (are they in Crickhollow now, and the rest of the story told in flashbacks?), but I think I'm up to speed. A very promising beginning! Author Reply: Funny how this happened. This chapter wasn't supposed to be a part of this story to begin with and it wrote itself after I was pretty far into this one. It became a sort of starting point. They are in Crickhollow at this point and I may need to clear that up a bit. Thanks for the review. I may make a slight change so that something is said as to where they are. | |

| O hurrah! Another GW story. What fun! Author Reply: Why thank you. I do hope you enjoy this one. Who knows? The prologue may be the high point. | |
