That was such a sweet story filled with such lovely imagery.

I am so glad I read it. This chapter brought a smile to face first thing in the morning.

You do a great job with the relationship between Gandalf and Pippin.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

*sniff* This is so sweet and beautiful; Pippin watched over by his stars forever--*sigh*
I do so love your Pippin and Gandalf together...

What a scary dream!
But Merry was able, to defeat the wraith on his own!
And with Pippin's stars he is able now to defeat the Shadow!
I love those stars :) Thank you!

*long-drawn-out-happy sigh* Oh, my dear, this is simply beautiul! I continue to adore this story, and am somewhat dismayed to see that the next chapter will be the last. I'm very much looking forward to it, but fully expect you to start right on another as soon as it is posted. (Got to feed the monkey, you know) Again, bravo on a job very well done! I am one happy reader! :-)

Author Reply: Wow, thank you, Pips! I'm so happy that you've enjoyed this story. I'm very honored that you want more! I am working on a sequel of sorts right now, which will be set in this 'verse, and Marigold said that she has more Star-verse bunnies for me when I need them. I hope you like the final chapter of this story which I'll be posting soon. Thanks again, Pips! *hugs*

(Merry grinned as he carefully settled himself more comfortably beside his cousin. “I’m content enough to leave the stars to you, Pippin. It gives me peace of mind to know that you’re being watched over even when I can’t be with you.” His smile wavered, and he looked troubled again.)

I loved that part about the stars watching over Pippin. This is a terrific story and I will be sorry to see it end. I am getting quite attached to Pippin's stars and I am glad that they have gotten a second story. Maybe they should be continuing characters. I keep wondering if they might show up on their own after Gandalf has left for the Grey Havens. Surely the stars don't go with him, or do they?

Author Reply: Are you trying to spring some plot bunnies on me, GW? :D Gandalf will address the issue of the stars in the final chapter. As for more stories, I'm working on something now that is set in this Star-verse (though not exactly about the stars) and Marigold says that she has more bunnies for me when I have the time. So hopefully there will be more eventually. I definitely want to continue, since this was the most fun I ever had in writing a story :)

Anyway, I'm so happy that you're enjoying this and thank you very much for leaving me such lovely comments! :)

That was certainly one vivid dream Merry had. How scary.

The imagery in this story is so sweet. I admit that it is far-fetched, but it is so adorable.

And, no, your last chapter didn't bring back bad memories. I was just impressed that you would add that detail. I was impressed. Yes, I do have first-hand experience. But the memory isn't bad this many years later.:)

Thanks.

Author Reply: Thank you, Connie! In my mind I see this story and "Stars and Sniffles" as oart of a Star-verse. They're not quite an AU but also not quite canon so I think they should have a universe of their own where all the star related events are reasonable :)

Lovely..I love the sequence of the dream Merry had of the wraith.Very descriptive.
Merry's poor arm,I hope it gets better...

Please continue

Author Reply: Thanks so much! I'm trying to be more descriptive in my writing, so I'm glad you thought the dream was descriptive :) Merry should be feeling better now that the Shadow has been chased away. I'm very happy that you enjoyed this chapter, and thank you for your comments! :)

Nicely done..Pippin is awake now and begining to mend...Merry is worried,but his hand is cold...
Please continue

Author Reply: Now that Pippin is feeling more like himself, he can help Merry get better too. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Thank you! :)

This is just lovely. What a horrible and frightening dream for Merry, to still be burdened with the Shadow, and how wonderful of Pippin to think of sharing his stars! But of course, that's Pippin, and there's nothing he wouldn't do for his Merry...

Author Reply: Yes, Merry and Pippin really would do anything for each other, and I'm sure Pippin quite enjoyed the fact that he was the one to take charge and look after Merry. I'm very happy that you liked this chapter! Thank you so much :)

Ah--how wonderful--stars for two! Lovely! Lovely to see the healing of Merry, so gladly offered by cousin and wizard!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this scene, it was nice to write a bit of Merry-healing for a change. Thank you your lovely comments :)
