Love it! The idea of pippin's soul is somehow lost is an interesting thought.... keep up the writing...

Author Reply: Thanks! I particularly love how Tolkien leaves us with so many possibilities as to what happened to Pippin after the troll fell on him. If only he had expanded those ideas! But I guess that is what fanfic is for :)

Such a different take on Pippin at Cormallen. I love Gandalf comforting Merry. There's just not enough Gandalf-Merry in fics to suit me. And I love that when Gandalf asked Merry if he believed Pip about the stars, that he did, and so simply, because he believes his Pip.

Looking forward to more...

Author Reply: For a long time I refused to even consider doing a Cormallen fic, because I didn't want it to be a sort of 'been there, done that' type of story, so your comments here mean a lot to me. I'm thrilled that you think it's different and that you enjoy it! Thanks so much! :)

Merry's dream was truly frightening.

This was a very nice chapter. I like the way you show how much Gandalf really loves Pippin.

Thanks for sharing.

Author Reply: Thanks, Connie! I think that Pippin and Gandalf have one of the great friendships in LOTR, and I like showing a bit of that in my fics. I'm so happy that you're enjoying this story! :)

I was glad when the stars had come to Pippin to help him. He was having such a hard time. I wonder if he will come to in the next chapter or if he still needs the stars to guide him further? I will be waiting anxiously for more of this one.

Author Reply: All will be revealed in due time...*raises eyebrow mysteriously* I'm very happy that you're enjoying this story. Thanks, GW! :)

What a wonderful idea to let the stars lead Pippin back!
I remember that story! I liked it very much.

I hope the long walk back has not exhausted our Pippin too much, and that he will awake soon!
Don't worry Pippin, soon Merry will be by your side, you just have to wake up :)

Author Reply: Yes, Merry is on his way, and I like to think that Pippin knows that, somehow :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed this part, and thanks for saying that you liked the original story as well! :D

Very nice imagery. I also liked the tie-in to your other story.

It certainly is interesting to speculate on just what is going on in the mind of someone as far gone as Pippin was at this point.

I am looking forward to the rest of this story.

Thanks.

Author Reply: Thank you, Connie! It was so interesting to write Pippin's unconscious mind, and try to think of what he would be experiencing. I'm so glad that you've enjoyed this story so far, and I hope you like the rest of it! Thanks for reading :)

Okay, now I'm feeling stupid.:) After I posted my review, I double-checked the statis of this story. I thought it had said complete, but it really still is in progress. Doh, my mistake.

Now I'll just wait patiently for the next chapter.

Author Reply: Please don't feel stupid! I meant to include a TBC at the end of the chapter, and your review reminded me to do that, so I thank you :)

Oh, this was good. I love stories that take place just after the last battle, especially when they involve Pippin.

Do you have plans to continue this in some way. That ending is just crying for more. I'm dying to know what Gandalf was thinking there at the end.

Thanks.

Connie B.

Author Reply: Yes, there will be more! Five more parts to be exact :) I'm so happy that you enjoyed this first chapter, and I hope that you like the next ones. Thank you Connie! :)

I love the way that you write Gandalf. This is wonderful so far and I look forward to more of it.

Author Reply: Thanks very much, GW! Aside from the hobbits, Gandalf is my favorite character to write, and I'm so glad you liked him here. I hope you continue to enjoy this story :)
