Ah, all too easily I can see this, and so rejoice in the love Pippin shows, and the extreme gentleness he uses.

Lovely.

You fit beautifully into Pippin's skin. The voice is very convincing. I've read some of your other things and I like how you manage to be very sweet without ever quite getting sappy. Not everybody manages to avoid that pitfall! Nice to discover you!

best regards

Author Reply: Wow! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and encouraging review! It made my day when I got it. Sorry I'm just now getting round to saying thank you!

I'm so glad you found the voice to be convincing. I was fretting over it! And it's wonderful to hear that I am sweet but not too sappy.

It's lovely to be discovered!

Blessings!

How lovely this is. Pip's POV works perfectly; I can just imagine every single bit of this, from the gentle opening of the huge door, to his pulling up the coverlet, and gently watching his beloved cousin sleep. So sweet and dear. Thank you for this.

Author Reply: Awww! Thank you so much, Dreamflower (lovely name, by the way!)! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you could "see" it!

I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review. It means so much to me. These reviews really do encourage me to want to write more and more!

Blessings!

Sigh.
That was beautiful, absolutely and truly. Such an intimate exploration of what it might have been like for Pippin to have that role reversed just then. And a fascinating look at the relationship between older and younger cousin. Thank you for writing this!

Author Reply: Thank YOU for reading this - and for leaving such a great review! I know how much I love to read a fic that makes me sigh, so to hear that I gave that feeling to someone else is just wonderful.

Thank you again!

Just for a moment I let my head rest there, my nose just brushing his warm cheek.

Oh!

Oh!

This is so beautifully and tenderly done. You have a rare touch for this kind of warm, intimate, loving prose. What an incredible moment. I feel like I'm right there.

I think you did a great job with first person. It's very immediate and sensitive. I absolutely love it! Thanks for writing it.

More, please! Lots more!

Author Reply: Aww! Thank you! You leave the best, most encouraging reviews! You make me want to write and write and write!

I'm so glad the perspective didn't fall flat like I was worried it might. It's so hard to judge your own work, you know. It's like describing to someone something you've seen yourself - as you are describing it, you can see it in YOUR mind, but you can never be sure that what you intend for them to see is what they end up seeing. To hear that you felt like you were right there is most encouraging.

Thank you again!

Blessings!
