I thoroughly enjoyed this fic...I am rather fond of post-Quest fics that deal with the hobbits after the War of the Ring.

I especially liked the touch with the beds...making note of Merry and Pippin's new height was a great addition to this story.

I look forward to seeing how this tale turns out.

Author Reply: Thanks for the review! I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out too! I have no idea where it will end up! :) I'm just going where it takes me. Hobbit post-quest fics are always fun to write, but the only problem is, you can use all of the characters! Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo are gone! I will, however, try to have cameos by the other fellowship members and other friends like that. Again, thanks for reading!

How could *I* be outraged??? :-P

Author Reply: Hehehehehe, well yes. And considering the Pippin/Celandine scene from JTBWY, I suppose that comment came a little late :P I actually added it, because I left an review for a story in which Merry and Estella were living together before they married, and said their families wouldn't stand for it or something like that!

And as for Pippa slipping between the chapters - I forgot all about her when I wrote the last few chapters for JTBWY! I was supposed to mention something about Pervinca being pregnant, but it slipped my mind. Oh, well. :P

As someone who has spent entirely too much time thinking about the North-took clan (my other handle is actually North-took) I get very excited when I find a story featuring one of my adopted family. When the author of said story is the amazingly talented Pervinca... I'm doing my happy dance. A wonderful start to the story, your Diamond is certainly Pippin's match and their interaction rings very true. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author Reply: Thanks very much for your lovely review! :) I'm glad you're enjoying the story. A few more of the North-Tooks may make appearances, but that will mean I will have to make up names for them (any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated :P). Also very pleased that you like my Diamond. I've tried to make her different from most of the other Diamonds that people tend to write (though, it was not all that hard to make her different. My image of Diamond seems to be different anyway!). Thanks again!

A sequel already? Wonderful! I understand Pippin and Diamond’s reasons for feeling out of place. Everyone has someone but them. Now if they’ll just see that they need to be together! It’ll be interesting to see how they finally realize that. I’ve never seen anyone write Pippin/Diamond relationship like this. It's very good. Drat, I was hoping to see what kind of adventures the three had on their adventure. Oh well, that's okay. Anyroad, CONTINUE! And, no, I’m not demanding you to…just telling you in a loud way ;)





Author Reply: I had this first chapter written before JTBWY was finished, as well as a few outlines. I'm really glad you're liking the P/D relationship. My original reasons for *not* writing about them was fear of copying some other P/D stories that I absolutely adore, but none of them used this idea, thankfully (nor, strangely enough, did any of them draw anything from the fact that Diamond is a descendant of the Bullroarer. Wonder why). Again, still haven't decided everything yet, so I'm waiting just as impatiently as you :P Will try to continue ASAP!

YES! For some reason or another, I didn't expect the next story to come around so quickly! I have been pleasantly surprised. It's good to see that Pippin and Diamond finally have a chance for a 'stable' relationship, and it's very good to see the subtle hintings that a nursery brings about. Glad to hear that it'll be filled in the future. So many fics have Merry and Estella being childless, and I prefer the more factual(and happier ending) stories with them having children. Thanks for writing so soon!

Author Reply: To be honest, I already had a large portion of this chapter written before I finished the other one, lol. On saying that, I'm not certain when I'll get some more out, but I'll try (especially if there's the chance of seeing some more pictures! :P) I've noticed the large number of stories without little Brandybucks, but as you said, it's more factual for them to have children! Of course, there will be a little bit of drama involved, but I should shut up now, in case I spoil something :P Thanks for reviewing!

(P.S. Do you think you could possible let ChessaB know how much I love her "Hobbit Chicks" and "Homecoming" pictures? I would have emailed her myself, but her email's not listed in her gallery. Ta :D)

I like Diamond and Pippin feeling like they are imposing together! What a great way for something more to come of this! I never thought I would care for Diamond/Pippin romances but I find I like them a lot more then I thought! Looking forward to more!

Author Reply: ^-^ Glad you're enjoying it. I used to feel a bit that way about Sam and Rosie stories, then I went on a huge S/R binge and I can't get enough of them now, lol! I'm even considering writing my own, probably once the G/F story is done. It wouldn't be right for me to only be working on *one* story, hehehehe.

I won't tell on Pip and Diamond if no one else does. hehe, Seems to me that Hobbits enjoy living in large groups anyway. Brandy Hall, the Great Smials, the more the merrier! A very good beginning. So glad that someone has stolen Celandine from Pippin as I thought she was wrong for him anyway. He might just do better with someone else, don't you think?

Author Reply: That *is* a very good point. I did think of it, but I probably forgot soon after, so thank you for reminding me :P I thing everyone knew Celandine was *very* wrong for Pippin, but they would have been cute :P Hmmm, I'm not sure who you're suggesting there? lol. Thanks for reading - first chapters are always a bit of a trial. Glad you enjoyed :D
