omg i love this story sooooo much~!! You paint such genuine sweet scenes between Pippin and Frodo ---it's just such lovely description.. i love the bit between Sam and Pippin; their dialogue was so sweet in terms of Pippin saying that Sam woudl surprise them and you put into a book type of quote in saying that Sam has something to do at the end which he wasn't sure what but he was resolute to do what he set out to do regarding staying with Frodo.
Sam and Pippin's love fro Frodo is magnified so much in this chapter--i really really love it~

and your h/c is the best type there is too... i really enjoy reading this!!!! =)

and the paragraph about the memories that Pippin had with Frodo was a sweet inclusion too.

omg... so much to praise~

love this story--adding it to favorites (if i hadn't already ;)

::hugs:: keep it up, look forward to hearing much more. =)

OMG, indeed! :)
Thank you so much for your sweet words. This story has been quite an experience for me (my first quest-story that is not only a ficlet) and I'm very happy it seems to work just as I hoped it would.

Awww... poor Frodo. Very lovely h/c scenes, and I love the way you show the wonderful friendship between the hobbits. :)

Author Reply: That counts as h/c already? You mean, I wrote h/c? :)
I very much enjoy writing about the friendship between the hobbits and am glad that I was able to show their relationship.

Hello Lily!

From visiting shirebound's Livejournal earlier, I found out, that today is a special day for you. So I wish you a happy birthday and go on with your great work!

This particular story I like very much and I'm wondering, where the next snapshot will take place. After the quest? Please update soon.

Author Reply: Thank you so much! At LJ you can contact me at any time if you wish.

The next chapter won't take place after the quest... or it might. That depends on where the quest ends for you (for me it ends in the Shire). :)

*mysterious*

This is such a beautifully written and tender exploration of Pippin's feelings - I love how aware he is of how others are feeling too, and his efforts to keep Frodo warm and comfortable when he too is cold and tired. I also don't doubt that Pippin surprised Sam during that conversation just as much as Sam surprised him! I'm looking forward to reading more of this story :)

Author Reply: I'm very happy you're enjoying this story! I always wanted to write something about Pippin and this story finally gave me the chance to do so.

Oh this is so wonderful! The bonds between the cousins and Sam are one of my very favorite themes--the love and loyalty between all four of them, the way in which they interact, the differences in how they relate, one to another--and this is a particularly well-done exploration of that, focussing on Frodo and Pippin, and with Sam as well, showing how the bond with Sam was welded by his love for Frodo...oh, I'm not making any sense, but you've just nailed it!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! You couldn't have made me happier with any other words.

The bond between the hobbits - and the enitre fellowship, in fact - is one of the most important themes of the books for me. It makes it special. With this story I tried to show how it developed and grew.

Oh Lily, what a beautifully perceptive scene. It's such a treat to get a Pippin-Sam moment... and what a mature tween our little Took is shown to be.

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I'm happy you're enjoying this.
