| Wow. This is a very touching piece. Very beautiful. I love it. Author Reply: Thank you so, Sir Merry! I believe that the relationship between Frodo and Merry was quite close, almost as close as one finds in brothers, and Merimac must have felt as much an uncle to Frodo as to Merry. The loss of him must have caused both a fair amount of grief. | |

| Very gentle dialogue and i feel Merry's grief very much in this. So poignant yet it's a good glimpse of how different hobbits in Frodo's family is reacting to him leaving. I'm sure Lily will love you for including "her" Merimac. :) Author Reply: Each one will share the grief and loss, but accepts and expresses them differently. And I suspect Merimac misses Frodo as intensely as does his nephew--he watched him grow up from his earliest days, after all! And I do hope both Nancy and Lily like the story! | |

| Very nice. Good to meet Merimac here. Hope to see more of him soon.:) ~~~~~{~@ Author Reply: Mac has found his way into many of my stories, so hope he agrees to come calling again soon! Thank you so! | |

| Oh, poor Merry! It's always seemed to me that in many ways the Grey Havens were harder on him than on the others. He's always seemed to me to be one who holds so tightly to the ones he loves, and can't bear any of them to be out of his sight or away from his protection. And yet he has had to do it so many times! Pippin and Sam love Frodo as dearly, but I think Pippin has that touch of Tookish optimism, that allows him to believe Frodo will be healed; and Sam is every bit as protective, but has the wisdom to know he can't take care of it himself. He's going to grieve so hard! Author Reply: To have to allow others to see to Frodo's final relief must have been so very difficult for him--I so agree with you. All of them grieve for Frodo's going, no matter how much they realize it is for the best. But, being Merry he will, to an extent, seek to hide much of it, until it bursts out with someone equally loved and trusted. Thanks so, Dreamflower! | |

| Wonderfully done, Larner! Torn in two, that's how I felt when I had finished the books for the very first time. And I feel it again now. But this time it's different, because now I believe that Frodo found healing, which is due to some lovely stories posted here (yours included). Thank you very much! Author Reply: Sam wasn't the only one feeling torn in two, I fear. His Brandybuck relatives who'd known him well all his life must have grieved for his absence as much as Merry, Pippin, and Sam. Thanks so very much for the comments and compliments. I so agree that if anyone deserved healing, it was Frodo Baggins! | |

| I think that you would find a lot in the queue to swim that space and not just the residents of M-E. Author Reply: Oh, I'm certain you are right, my friend! We'd all be there! Heh! Thank you so! | |

| Well, you know already how I think about the way most of the Hobbits treated Frodo, so I really felt like cheering Pippin, Merry, Frodo and Will on! Most of them may still not really believe anything, but I hope some do, and it may shut up the others a little bit. Sometimes I wonder if they would believe it when the King himself or the Elves came and told the story, too? Author Reply: Well, in my-verse Elladan and Elrohir had sung the Lay of Frodo of the Nine Fingers for the Shire his first Midsummer back, and Aragorn told his own story of Frodo's victory when he visited the worthies of the Shire at the Brandywine Bridge just after the unveiling of the memorial to the Hobbits in front of the Citadel. Most still don't undertand or believe, but a few do, and those are the ones who matter. Thanks so! | |

| Hey Larner - I had to comment on the story and the recipe... I always enjoy the stories [I never fail to tell you either, especially on LJ! :)] but i especially enjoy the recipes! I usually get something new to enjoy out of them... I confess I never considered beer batter pancakes, although I do enjoy beer battered fries and fish... thanks for broadening my horizons! Author Reply: So glad you did! Friends love beer-batter pancakes, although I don't particularly care for them, so did this partly in their honor. And it's so great to hear from you whenever! Take care, and God bless you and your family. | |

| A time for truth indeed - that's telling that Trosco who had absolutely no clue but certainly does now! I love that snatch of Sam's song - now please you have to post all of it, dear Larner, not just tease us with a little! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Well, now you've seen the whole thing. Glad you liked the defiance shown! Thanks so, Antane! | |
