More Than Cousins  by Pearl Took 33 Review(s)

I hereby adopt, Meriadoc Brandybuck as my brother. I need a brother, and I want Meriadoc, who is also called Merry. He may stay a Brandybuck, as our names are not what makes us brothers. - PT

I get emotional every time I read this...it's so touching "as our names are not what makes us brothers". Lovely scene between Merry and Pippin, and I shall return often to re-read this classic! :-)

Oh,what a fantastic story! I know I keep saying that, but I do love this tale of yours! From Merry caring for Pippin through to his official "dopting" note to his auntie, down to Pippin waking up with his face snuggled up to his mother's palm. So sweet! Love it! :-)

I love this story! And the interaction between Pearl and Merry is fantastic--as it always has been. Absolutely wonderful!

I'm glad that they made it up so nicely! Merry being upset he wasn't in the room when Pippin woke up was a good touch. I like that Pippin adopted Merry in return. It was all very nice! Thank you!

Love the finish - such a sweet pair. The whole note business is lovely from all three of them. They are more brothers than cousins - good explanation.

(contented sigh) That was wonderful! Perfect ending and characterization, and marvelous dialogue. That explains ever so much about those two...and I say these things as someone who has an "adopted" sibling in my family. :) Well done!

Oh, Pearl, you had me hooked from word one of this lovely story, and you did not disappoint in its completion. Thank you so much for this sweet portrait of why my two fave hobbits ARE my two fave hobbits. Much of the reason is because of talented writers such as yourself who thoroughly understand who they are and what makes them tick. Splendid job, absolutely supurb!

Best,
Pips, genuflecting all over the place

Lovely story; I especially liked the effect of Pippin's childhood dream blending into his later fever-dreams. Although I find it difficult to ever imagine those two having such a serious fight, I can easily see that if they did they would worry themselves sick until they made it right. Good job!
