Wonderful forebodings.

Love that the comfort is going both ways now the Pippin has emotionally come of age.

The anticipation of the return, the so delayed return.

Finally--a look at the moment of redemption for Lobelia. Something that we speak about but I'd not seen described till now.

Love it.

Very beautiful. I love the interlude between the fairy and the young adult Pippin. He is, as I have said in my own stories, one who has come to maturity the hard way, by accepting the responsibilities of an adult.

I bless poor Fredegar. Love that Hobbit, I do.

“Lobelia glared at herself until the flash of fury passed. Tears gathered along her lower eyelids before forming drops on her lashes, before forming tracks on the dry skin of her cheeks. She would do something, though at the moment she had not the slightest idea what, but she would do something to make amends. The haughty coolness of her grey-blue eyes was washed away by her heartfelt tears. It never would return.” PT


Wow...amazing. The change in Lobelia is so felt so keenly here while just combing her hair and having a conversation with herself. Her thoughts on Hamfast living in little more than a privy-house was marvelous. So very well written, Pearl. There was so much detail about Bag End (in the Scouring) that JRRT didn’t touch on (for good reason). The gradual change of Bag End turning into Lotho’s and Lobelia’s own personal Lockhole was no less than they deserved, but sad nonetheless. I am glad that Lobelia found her senses before the end, and you wrote it all wonderfully. Thank you once again for another great chapter! :-)
