Estel's Birthday  by shirebound 15 Review(s)
PSWReviewed Chapter: 8 on 11/15/2015
Oh, that Pippin! :-P So much fluff (in the form of duck feathers, no less) that I may never be able to climb back out. :-) Seems like all is going well in the Baggins home ...

Thanks for writing!

Author Reply: You're so kind to review, I greatly appreciate it. I doubt I've written anything more gentle and fluffy than this story!

This was an absolute dear of a story. Well written fluff is perhaps the hardest of all genre's /because/ nothing in particular happens and you did a most excellent job.

Author Reply: Thank you, what a lovely compliment! I'm so happy you enjoyed this wee fluffy tale.

do you think pippins admiration of ducks could be the reason pansy the goose is so mean---retaliaation? maybe we should have an enclave and discuss ways to smooth her feathers. just love these. n.

Author Reply: Dear Pip and his ducks! Who could resist this wee hobbit. Thank you, Nancy. :)

great story, loved the part with Aragorn's legs sticking out of the tent, and that Pippin only wanted stories about birds. I imagine that this birthday was so much better then Aragorn has every had while out in the wild. Hobbits know how to eat.

Author Reply: I agree, how could Aragorn have *ever* had a more interesting, happy, and well-fed birthday than this one?

Sooooo achingly sweet! I love how Pippin was so openly affectionate with Estel and the little conversation between Bilbo and Estel, which of course is bittersweet since he didn't get to see the wedding... Lovely way to end this!

Author Reply: Thanks, Claudia! Toddler hobbits -- who wouldn't love 'em? Yes, I flashed back on that line in ROTK where Bilbo tells Frodo that he was planning to go to Aragorn's wedding, especially since he had waited long enough for it. It *is* bittersweet that he didn't get to see it.

A very sweet ending! Poor Paladin, though :)

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, I'm afraid Paladin and family have their hands full with this exuberant youngster!

Apparently I'm terrible at reviewing! I thought I'd left a review after the last chapter, but when I double checked, I found it's been since chapter five that I've left you a note. Bad auntiemeesh!

I have so loved this fluffy story! There cannot be too many fluffy hobbit stories. :) Estel is so gentle and loving with the younglings, especially toddler Pippin (a most delightful creature, I must tell you). I will warn you, now I want far more toddler Pippin. Just saying.

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm rather fond of hobbityfluff myself! I just couldn't resist bringing toddler Pippin and Scamp together somehow.

*hugs Auntiemeesh*

A wonderful ending to a most wonderful story!!! I shall re-read this when I'm in need of cheering up :-) Thank you, Thank you! And I eagerly await your next story. :-)

Author Reply: Thank you, Pearl! This story cheered *me* up, as well. Hobbits and puppies and chicks, oh my!

:)

Author Reply: Pearl, can you let me know if you e-mailed me today? I received an e-mail with no subject line that may be from you, but I don't open e-mails unless I know for sure who sent them, and that they're not spam. Thanks!

A sweet ending to a sweet tale.

"Did you ride the pony too?" LOL
I like your Paladin! And that he's familiar with Rangers... hmmm... Is there a story there?

Thanks!

Author Reply: Thank you for reading! Yes, I think nothing much would escape Paladin's attention, especially where his son is concerned.
