Awww...Leave it to the hobbits to realize they had to help Aragorn and Arwen be properly blessed on their marriage. This was so touching and heartfelt. I loved Pippin's song too. What a lovely gift from Gondor's Littlest Knight. Thanks for sharing this w/us Shirebound. Wonderful as always!! :o) Author Reply: What would a marriage be without the proper hobbity blessing/gifts? Thank *you* so much, Tigger. | |

What a perfect little gem of a story! Put a big ole smile on my face, and that's not easily done. Author Reply: Now *that* big a big ole smile on *my* face, Julia. I'm so happy this delighted you so. I had a wonderful (and challenging) time writing it. :D | |

Bless the Hobbits for wishing to bless this marriage as they have. Yes, very, very fitting. Author Reply: Thank you, Larner. And such a gracious King and Queen to let the hobbits gift them according to their own culture! | |

Ooh what a treat tonight Shirebound. And what wonderful gifts. I especially loved the song. Do you have music to go with it? Author Reply: Thank you, harrowcat. There *is* music to go with the song; perhaps we'll meet someday, and I can sing it to you! :D | |

This is wonderfully inventive! I don't think I've ever read a story about the hobbits choosing gifts for the king and queen before. I love the gifts you chose, each one suited the hobbit who gave it perfectly! I especially adored Pippin's song - such an appropriate gift from someone you've written as having musical talent in other stories (can you guess that I'm thinking of "Healed" right now? *grin*) Your Aragorn and Arwen are so wonderfully in love, too. This was just perfect in every way, I loved it :) Author Reply: Thank you so much! You know how much I love happy hobbits, and this was their chance to make sure their king and queen were happy and taken care of, too. Oh my, if only we could have heard more of Pippin's lovely singing voice in the movies.... *sigh* | |

Shirebound, This was a funny little ficlet. I always love your stories. You do all of the characters so well!! And Pippin's song was absolutely gorgeous! Keep writing! God Bless, Frodo Baggins Author Reply: Thank you, Frodo! I'm so happy you enjoyed this. And believe me, I *will* keep writing -- the hobbits just won't let me stop! :D | |

You know I am not a great hobbit fan (sorry, we are not the same :o) ), but I sometimes find some gems which I can enjoy immensely! And this was among them. Great work, the idea itself is so cute. And the hobbits were lovely! Author Reply: Thank you, Laerien! I know we all have different characters we most enjoy reading/writing about. I appreciate you checking out this hobbity story, and am glad you enjoyed it! | |

That was perfectly marvelous! Yes, I can see the four hobbits so very concerned that something was missing from such a solemn wedding. And the gifts were definitely right...I gave a song as a gift once, and it's fun when it's unexpected. The character detail here were wonderful and quite true to Tolkien's hobbits, I think. Author Reply: Thank you so much! I can just imagine the revelry of a hobbity wedding, and how amazed the hobbits might be at one so brief and formal! | |

Lovely!! *loud applause and happy tears* Each gift is perfect. And so we discover another talent - you're a published songwriter!! 'Tis a lovely song and I would love to hear "Pippin" sing it! Thank you for a most lovely gift :) Author Reply: Thank you, Pearl! (My friends and family and I went through a long and lovely songwriting period awhile back; it was fun to finally find a place for one of them in my hobbity world.) I'm so happy you enjoyed these gifts. :D | |
