Beautiful Story. I had found it a while ago and I had put it in my favorites to read again and again. I enjoyed every moment of it and still do. I also enjoyed the cute little parts from different movies,such as the Han and Leia quote. I'm not watching for you to finish the story about Pippin and Diamond...that one is becoming a favorite as well. Please keep the stories coming. And best of luck!

When I first started reading this, I thought it was an all right story. But, it has caught my interested so much that I'm SAD to see it end!!! This story really grows on you and it just gets better with every chapter. The plot is quite good, the writing is done well, I adore how Estella and Merry's relationship grew. It was just done overall good. Please write a sequal :) p.s.- Love the title too since I'm a big Robin Hood fan :)

Very, very cute! I hope, for Estella's sake, that the baby isn't as wild as his/her father. :) I've really enjoyed reading this story and I thank you for it. I'd love to know when you have completed it, and I also hope you get back to Pippin's story sometime soon. When you've finished this story, e-mail Coriel and I'll get it. Thank you.

*sniff* It can't be over! I loved it, and I would like to read the complete version, when it's finished. coon

At last the Big Day has come. I'm still surprised they were so patient. I thought for sure Estella was going to force Merry to move the day forward somewhere in there. ;)
Samwisegirl12 · 1 January 2004 · Chapter 999: Gifts
Yeah! The story is complete! Wait..it's over! Aw poo! I would LOVE to read the story after it's "tweaked"! Send me a link, pretty please! You did a wonderful job on the story, but I'm sorry to see it end. (maybe you can use this time to update your Pippin/Diamond story! ;) ~ swg ~
Le Rouret · 31 December 2003 · Chapter 999: Gifts
Oooh, what a nice way to end the Old Year -- with a serious case of the terminal Warm Fuzzies. My sympathies are with both Merry and Estella, for I remember well how hot I used to get in the middle of the night when I was pregnant -- and how patient and gentle my poor, long-suffering husband was about the whole business. Boy, you really connected with me on this story! I almost feel as though you knew my husband and me when you wrote it, because Merry and Estella are so like us. Thank you for posting it! I know it's a lot of work (I'm only up to ch. 19 and nowhere near finishing yet) and I appreciate your regular updates. I'd love to read the whole thing when it's fully edited. Please email me (lerouret@yahoo.com) when it's up on your friend's site. I had no idea this was a sort of beta version -- what will it be when it's posted on Valinor; the omega version? (Hmm -- I like the way that sounds!) Looking forward to your next efforts! Happy New Year, Le Rouret

"Not at all, Estella! I know you are quite capable of tending Merry and making sure he doesn't get out of line." "I hope the latter task doesn't prove too difficult." "Oh, I don't believe so. If he causes a problem, all you need do is give him a good smack on the back of the head." "I shall keep that in mind." Hey! That's how I take care of MY husband! A good hard smack on the back of the head -- and when that fails, a sucker-punch. Ahhh, love . . . Thanks. After my mother-in-law-from-hell Christmas, I really really really really really needed that! Le Rouret

Hehehe, yes, I've heard from my friend with significant others that thwacking is the best way to keep the menfolk in line. ;) I'm really glad this chapter could cheer you up! :)
Samwisegirl12 · 30 December 2003 · Chapter 23: Meriadoc the Wise
Yay! An update! Your weddings are always wonderful and this one is no exception! I can't wait to read the epilouge!
Author's reply
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. :)
Chigger · 2 December 2003 · Chapter 22: Preparations
You know, you continue to amaze me. I'm glad you went ahead and posted this one. I was beginning to become impatient. :) How much longer will they have to wait until the Big Day? Keep up the hard work.
Author's reply
The Big Day is coming right up in a moment. Thanks for your review, I'm so glad you're enjoying this! :)
Le Rouret · 2 December 2003 · Chapter 22: Preparations
Whew! Where did you dig up all those names?! Do you, like me, keep a copy of RotK next to the computer so you can reference the Appendices? Bravo! I was even more impressed by that than by the phrase, "Well, perhaps 'scoff' isn't the right word. I believe... 'been thoroughly appalled' is more accurate." That got a good, long chuckle out of me! I notice they didn't invite Hugo . . . Le Rouret
Author's reply
Hehe, as a matter of fact, RotK does tend to be within reach of my chair at the computer. I've picked that thing up so many times the past few weeks that I've almost got the appendicies memorized. :P And no, it looks like they didn't invite Hugo. I'd planned on tying that loose end up, but when I sat down and wrote the wedding, it (as well as some other things I'd wanted to include) got buried under everything else. Maybe I'll find a place to stick it later on when I edit the story... I really appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!
powerwriter · 27 November 2003 · Chapter 19: For As Long As It Takes
I am enjoying this story thoroughly. It's getting to be quite a novel ;) Please keep going with it!
Chigger · 22 November 2003 · Chapter 21: Healing
HURRAY! I beat Coriel to the newest chapter this time! I just happened to be lucky enough to be on SoA and saw the update, so I came as quick as I could. Another beautiful chapter! One "Forgetful Innkeeper in Bree" had better get himself a new mail carrier. Better yet, people had better stop giving him their mail. Maybe it would get to its destination on time for once. :) Speaking of "had betters", Merry and Estella had better hurry up and get married. I don't think she will be able to wait much longer. How much you want to bet she keeps a tight lesh on him for the first year or so. Keep him *and* Pip in line. :) They need some female authority in the house.
Le Rouret · 15 November 2003 · Chapter 20: Long Time Gone
Aaaaaawwwwwww . . . (*melts into a puddle on the floor*) Boy, did I need that today! Thank you for reminding me of how I felt when I held my daughter in my arms for the first time. Le Rouret
Chigger · 15 November 2003 · Chapter 20: Long Time Gone
Wonderful! You've done it again. A wonderful chapter, but none to follow it as of yet. We've got everyone together again, they've all seen each other, what happens now!?
Coriel · 15 November 2003 · Chapter 20: Long Time Gone
It's nice to see everyone again! I see things are going to be busy in Gondor shortly. And Legolas does make a good babysitter, doesn't he?
Le Rouret · 13 November 2003 · Chapter 19: For As Long As It Takes
Hm, I seem to have missed a couple of updates! Those two stubborn, hard-headed hobbits! I'm glad you resolved it (though really, what choice do you have if you want to be cannon?) but just the fact that Merry is leaving for a year means something ELSE is going to happen . . . I loved how Sam spoke with a bloody nose; it reminded me of Bilbo saying, "Thag you berry buch" in Esgaroth! So -- when are you going to get back to Pippin and Diamond? ;-) Thanks for the story! Le Rouret
Chigger · 12 November 2003 · Chapter 19: For As Long As It Takes
Again, a wonderful piece of work, but, oh, so short. Still, I'm glad to see that Fatty loves his little sister. Keep up the good work and UPDATE SOON!
Chigger · 12 November 2003 · Chapter 18: Wait For Me
You know, you really should make these chapters longer. I mean, what you write it great, but there's not enough of it to last as long as I would like. You really must update soon!
Chigger · 12 November 2003 · Chapter 17: Not Lost
Now, Merry, don't go thinking that all you have to do is get drunk and pick a fight and you'll get a girl. It just doesn't work that way, OK? A wonderful chapter! I think it was worth the wait, but what about Pippin?! He's still in limbo right now! Poor Diamond won't sit still much longer! :)
Coriel · 12 November 2003 · Chapter 17: Not Lost
Oh, good. It's nice that the air is cleared and we have a commitment here. They'll have this worked out yet!
Coreinha · 12 November 2003 · Chapter 19: For As Long As It Takes
*sigh* I wish Merry could have taken Estella along with him, it would have been so sweet! Oh well, hurry and update so they can be together again! XOXO Cor
Coriel · 30 October 2003 · Chapter 16: To the Bottle I Go . . .
Oh, no, no, no, Merry; that is *not* how to handle this kind of thing. Instead of going out and drinking yourself into oblivion, perhaps you should try sitting down, writing her a nice apology/explanation with some sensitive comments thrown in for good measure, send it with a bunch of flowers . . . ah, but anyway. . . What a mess; but I'm sure Rosie can get things back on track.
Coriel · 30 October 2003 · Chapter 15: A Special Invitation
Sheesh. Merry and Estella both need to cool it and talk this out in a intelligent manner. ^_^ There's really nothing to fight about, for crying out loud!
