A New Kind of Courage  by Auntiemeesh 5 Review(s)

A hobbit without an appetite is definitely something to worry about. He's literally worrying himself sick. It was good of Faramir to give him a pony. Merry's been feeling like useless baggage for so long, at least he didn't have to worry about being someone's burden on top of everything else he's dealing with. What a horrible nightmare. I hope Merry won't suffer too many more once he arrives at Cormallen and finds his friends are healing.

This is such a great story! Poor, poor Merry. He´s having some tough days, all alone without his friends and cousins.

Author Reply: I'm glad it's not me, having those nightmares...lol. I'm happy you're enjoying the story.

Poor Merry! I would be angry with Aragorn for that note as well! What terrible nightmares he is having! It was good of the cook to look after Merry and give him some food even if he wasn't hungry. Faramir acquiring a pony for Merry was very thoughtful! Looking forward to more!

Author Reply: It's good to know that Merry has friends in Minas Tirith, even though he feels all alone. Glad you're enjoying it.

Oh, you are KILLING me with the waiting! This is such a wonderful angsty story and you are so good at capturing Merry's sense of helplessness and worry over what has happened to his loved ones. That nightmare! Oh, horrors! Can hardly wait to see that ship dock so Merry can get some answers to the questions tormenting him. Bravo! Well done!

Author Reply: Sorry, Pips, I truly don't mean to be killing you with suspense. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. That nightmare was not in the original plan, but poor Merry is just feeling so stressed out right now. It will get better...eventually...maybe.
