| Well, Sam has HIS marching orders now! And we see how Merry and Pippin came to live in the Crickhollow house in your-verse. | |

| Ah--the Queen's jewel. I, too, have had Frodo use it in a healing manner. Great minds think alike, they say! Heh! Glad Frodo and Sam both proved useful. | |

| Getting aid from Rivendell would be difficult, considering the distance--unless one of the twins happens to be close to the borders of the Shire. However, Sam could be aware of where athelas might grow, And Pippin knows this was used on Merry before by Strider. Perhaps he could get Tom Bombadil to agree to come into the Shire? | |

| What images--the lad in the tree, the ponies on the run, Bright Nose down and Merry unmoving---- May have read this long ago, but am glad to read it again! | |

| What a long awaited sweet scene of the wedding. I do love Merry/Estella a lot and love your characterization of her. Nice song too--so original and creative! Samwise looked at his old friend and comrade in troubles, nodded, and said quietly, ' 'Tis a wise hobbit who knows where to find his treasure.' Then he straightened, putting on the guise of the Mayor once more, and raised his cup to the crowd before shouting, 'Let us drink to joy!' after all he's been through- so glad Merry has this moment to treasure. Author Reply: Thank you for your thoughtful reviews! I see I have some catching-up to do in terms of review replies. I'm glad you like the song. I wish I knew where I could upload and link them so people could listen to them. The site where they were originally hosted 20-some years ago is long gone. Jewels put Merry through an awful lot, I must admit, and so it's a relief to see him find his reward in the form of love and friendship. Thanks again for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts! | |

| Hobbits always find some humor in a dire situation and that is what i love about them. I love you too. But you never answered my question!' 'What question was that?' 'Do you have any warts?' lol! Love that. | |

| he last sound he heard after his eyes drifted closed was her whispered, 'Dream well, my love. Dream of love, and light, and healing, and joy.' I like moments of peace and serenity. The hobbits have gone though so much! Great that Estella is there for Merry in here and Merry can relax into sleep. | |

| It is a wonder what the Elven cloak did for Merry. A small, numb corner of his mind, strangely calm, noted the absence of scorch marks on the outermost cloak itself. Elvish, the thought whispered within him, and, Perhaps it gained him some time and a chance at life... protected him, somehow, through its Elvish magic. He could scarcely breathe as hope and fear warred within him. I like your description in here and you capture Saradoc's feelings in this desperate moment very well. Poor hobbits! I liked the healing details that you have. Question- why did MErry not want Estella to be by him? | |

| Lin! "She sighed, and Pippin looked up with a smile, some of the old impishness showing in his eyes." Yeah!!! happy to read this!! I am going to have to re-read some of the stories you have mentioned! Thanks! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: MM! I am way behind in replying to reviews, but I will be plugging away at it now that I'm beginning to get my energy back. I don't want anyone to think I take reviews for granted! I find them so encouraging to read. (Staying up past 1am is probably not the best course of action in terms of getting things done and continuing to recuperate, and I plan to do better after today. But this is the first day I haven't felt the need to take three naps and go to bed relatively early! Though with editing draft chapters into final form and reading fanfic, it is possible that three naps will again be on the agenda for the coming day...) I'm so glad you made it through the angst to happier times! It's always such a relief to get to the joy after the struggle, whew. (((hugs))) my friend. I'm so excited to hear that your new chapter is coming along! Warmly, Lin | |

| Lin! "Pippin smiled grimly. 'Oh, aye,' he said, and this time he spoke the thought aloud for Merry's benefit. 'A little brother is quite as valuable as a wee cousin when it comes to trouble.'" So very true! But I do think that now at Pippin is a wiser hobbit. I like the shape of this story. It has a nice flow to it. And it is good to that Doderas grew into a good natured Hobbit. People can grow out their earlier misbehavior. Of course, stern words from first Pippin and Saradoc may have had a great deal to do with it! Good to see young hobbits rescued from their folly. (((hugs))) MM P.S. hope you are on the mend! | |
