| I'm so sorry to see this one come to an end--although continuing to this point is a logical stopping place. But it would have been fun to have kept it going a bit longer--I would have loved to have seen Aragorns visit to the Brandywine Bridge, for example, and Diamond's reaction to Faramir's courtship of Goldilocks, but I suppose every story has to end somewhere. *sigh* I'm so glad to see that Pippin's and Pervinca's relationship seems to have been repaired--I can't see him being happy as long as they were on the outs. I love "Mari's Wedding"--it definitely sounds so hobbity. I've made use of that one myself, in appropriately enough, "Marigold's Wedding". And I am so glad that Pip and Diamond now have a daughter. Pippin needed a little lass to spoil. This has been a very interesting and unusual take on Pippin/Diamond, and as I said, I'm sorry to see it come to an end. Author Reply: Thank you so much for all your reviews for this story. I’m glad you think it’s a logical stopping place; I have known since the beginning how it needed to end --- it just took me a while to get there. I deliberately left it somewhat open-ended, as well, in case I want to go back and write in this era of their lives again. Pippin and Pervinca have made up, and have essentially renegotiated their relationship so they’re relating to each other as adults, rather than repeating their childhood patterns. (One reason they clash so much, I think, is that they’re both rather similar, strong-willed personalities.) “Marie’s Wedding” definitely does sound hobbity: in fact, that was the first thought I had when I heard it on the CD, LOL. I listened to it quite a few times for “inspiration” for this chapter. I suspect that Pippin may have the sort of besotted relationship with his only daughter that Paladin had with his only lad. Thank you again. :) | |
