| At least he has support through this so trying time! Author Reply: Yes--Pippin always will have the support of his family! | |

| Thank you, my dear! Sorry to be so late in reading and replying here. It's been too crazy. Stretched indeed but in a good way. Elrond did right. Happy birthday! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I've been busy too! I'm glad you enjoyed your fic. :) | |

| I love it! Very funny (and I sympathize VERY much with Tom's mom! Of course, she'll appreciate good old-fashioned stink when Tom becomes a tween, if hobbit tweens are anything like human teens. :-P ) And now I'm dying for more Kira! Author Reply: Heh. She probably will! | |

| "The lanes are just as important as the roads." Yes they are. Sometimes they are more important. Rose is a very wise hobbit. This was a lovely finish to your birthday bash, dear! ((((hugs)))) Welcome back! Author Reply: Thanks! And I think the lane to Bag End is much more important than the road for Sam right now, because of who all is at the end of it. Thanks for the welcome, and for all the reviews! *hugs* | |

| LOL! I love the lasses conspiring against the lads! And the rosewater was a brilliant idea. As one who has actually experimented with making rosewater, I can tell you that the results were pretty accurate. It's not nearly as easy as online directions make it sound, and the results will turn moldy pretty quickly! I am giggling as I imagine the lads reeking of roses! Author Reply: Yeah, I basically looked up directions online and then used common sense for the mold! I'm glad it actually coincides enough with reality. And I would love to be watching Tom and Roly get into a snit about how nice they smell now! | |

| And another neat solution to the problem of aging mortals in Aman! I remember our discussing this on IM one time--I think it's a clever notion! But I can certainly see the ambivalence that Elrond and Celebrian might have over doing such a thing. Author Reply: Yeah--I think it could only work as a split decision, otherwise I think it's too morally ambiguous. And I would like to explore the solution in more detail later, but that's a very long-term project... there are so many other Aman fics out there, after all, and a lot of them advance good interpretations, too! | |

| LOLOL! A very neat resolution to the situation! I'd never heard that bit of D&D lore, but I was never into it very much--you are right, though--it does make a neat bit of fanon, especially for a humor fic! I enjoyed this little diversion very much! Author Reply: I'm glad you did! I doubt the 'iron stomach' will become full canon in my more serious fic, but it might still be passed down as some sort of urban legend. | |

| Lotho in the livery of Gondor, tasting the King's food for a living? Hmm...he might very well become the first Royal food taster in history to get poisoned for his own sake! I love the subtle way you begin to reveal Pippin's motives here. I had to read it twice through to be sure the little light bulb over my head was the right light bulb! Author Reply: HAH. I had not thought of that possibility! And Pippin's motives snuck up on me as much as they did on you--it wasn't until Sam spoke out that I realized Pippin would have felt exactly the same way. | |

| “Of course I am! Frodo corrected me—loudly, I might add—the first time he caught me using the wrong one.” He paused. “Say, it isn’t terrible that I’m not ‘theeing’ and ‘thouing’ every time I have to talk to you, is it? I don’t want to make things more difficult for you…” “Peregrin, I believe that the people of Gondor are—albeit slowly—learning that using the familiar is the way of your people.” “And as for me,” said Aragorn, “you may use whatever pronoun you wish to address me, especially out of court.” “Hmm… I should see if anyone can think up a good hobbit-dialect-pronoun for ‘hoy, you stupid clod.’” “I am fairly certain,” said Aragorn, “that if you had one, I should have been called it many times over while I was in Bree.” “Strider, just because we both know you’re right doesn’t mean you have to rub it in my face all the time!” “No, I do not have to.” Pippin sighed and walked off in a huff. Now this had me howling and wiping tears of laughter from my eyes! And, my dear, this humor is so YOU! Author Reply: I loved the gentle ribbing that we get from Aragorn in the books, and I think he would have relished the opportunity to do it after his coronation. Thanks! | |
