The Prophecy  by Anso the Hobbit 11 Review(s)
PeriantariReviewed Chapter: 2 on 11/25/2005
He had done it for her. She should not die, so fair and so desperate. If by life or death he could protect and defend her he would and he had.
oh yes, Merry did indeed and he was so brave and aww i loved that scene from LotR.
This is a brilliant idea and brilliant story~ i love so much of it including that part where PIppin had given Merry the blanket when Merry had fallen asleep and awoke to feel comfortable.
Such a sweet scene between Merry and Eowyn~
This was such a great idea fro a story and i'm glad that you wrote this gap-filler! :)
The first chapter had great h/c and i loved how you included this :

Merry thought for a moment before answering. “I think, that if a woman and a hobbit can change the course of the war and fulfil a prophecy by ridding the world of an evil, then so be it. Like I said yesterday, there are some things deeper and higher than even the soil of the Shire, and I am glad that I know about them now, a little. Though it surprises me to find that I am myself part of something deeper and higher, and not just useless baggage, as I had feared.”
precioussssssssss~!!! so true and so Merry and ..so canon. :D

Great story--going on to the Epilogue now. :)

Anso, this is absolutely the perfect ending to this story! I love Glorfindels amazement, when he realizes how his prophecy was fulfilled. And the line about books being written made me grin from ear to ear! Im so glad that you finished this!


Author Reply: Thank you! :D I am happy that the muse came back for this story. I am sure there will be written a lot about the Fellowship, lol.

I am glad that your muse struck again Anso. I remember the first part from the challenges but I expect that I was too shy to review then! This is a wonderful trio of chapters. And we all need to feel more than luggage left to be called for even if the end of the road means facing our greatest demons.

A bit of shortening up the family line there, making Earnur the son of Anarion rather than Earnil; but that's neither here nor there, I suppose for those aware only of movie-verse.

Thanks for the tale.

(And when Gandalf speaks of Minas Tirith having stood for a thousand years in the film I always cringe....)

Author Reply: Um... I did research that (both with the Silmarillion and online) but I did warn you, it`s not betaed yet. :) I`ll fix it though.

Healing comes often with talking. Lovely images here.

DEFINITELY feeling better now, our Merry is. And glad Aragorn shared the prophecy at that moment.

A wonderful ending! I love it when folks bring life and depth to something like Glorfindel's prophecy, which isn't explained in any way in the books. How terrific that Merry, Eowyn, and Glorfindel all came to realize the power of his words.

Author Reply: Yes it was an interesting bunny to write. I am glad you liked it! :D

I think I reviewed this over at the challenge, or someplace...

Sorry to be so vague, I haven't had a cup of tea yeat and there is a little one sitting next to me playing a computer game, with many comments requiring answers on my part!

I just love all the little details you include in your stories! It makes them seem so real!

One little nitpick and it might just be *me* and not worth worrying about: the plural of "perian" is "periain", I think. At least, that swam up from the depths of memory when I read "perians" somewhere in the chapter.

I love the tender way Pippin tucks his cousin in at the beginning, and Merry pondering wandering about in his nightshirt if Pippin hadn't helped him dress, and the conversation with the healer, and of course the entire scene with Eowyn.

Well done!

Author Reply: I think you reviewed at the challenge site too, lol.

Thank you. It was a really hard chapter to write actually and Marigold helped me with more than just betaing with this.

I`m sure you`re right about periain, because I don`t know, lol.
