Sneaky Snakes And Broken Bones  by Anso the Hobbit 8 Review(s)
Grey WondererReviewed Chapter: 2 on 9/4/2005
I am so glad that help arrived when it did. I like that Merry told Pippin how to splint the leg before he passed out. That woul dbe so like Merry to organize things in spite of his injury. I also liked their rescuer's reluctance to believe that Merry could have helped to kill the Witch King and the fact that Pippin was so proud of Merry. Now I hope Aragorn can help.

Great story, Anso!
Your description of Merry is just as I see him: Always worried for his cousin and forgetting his own health.
And he's always planning ahead. That's something I do myself and I get really nervous when planning is impossible ;-)

I loved it, when Frodo felt that something was wrong, just because Merry was not there when he awoke.
And Pippin managed the frightening situation very well.

Let's hope, Merry will recover soon, last but not least from the Black Breath!

Author Reply: Thanks! Yes Merry would want to watch over Frodo, Sam and Pippin as much as possible, and I think him not being there would worry Frodo.

It was interesting, the way you described Gandalf's perception of the hobbits as sparks in his consciousness.

Whew! I hope there aren't any more of those awful snakes around!

I do hope Pippin is all right!

Poor Merry! Why is the Shadow lying so heavy on him? Did it have something to do with the snake?

Author Reply: I found that part about Gandalf interesting too and I`ve only been waiting for a story to use it in, lol.

Pippin is so brave, isn`t he? I think he`s doing wonderfully in this story, allthough his injuries hurts a lot.

It's always heartening to see the King as healer, serving those who need it.

Author Reply: Yes it is nice to see him like this. Thanks for reading!

Poor Merry and Pippin! I'm so glad they were found! I like your Ranger Fermund very much.

There are so many good details in this: Frodo's growing concern over his missing cousins, Gandalf worrying about their spirits, the search.

And I really loved the alert way that Pippin immediately was on guard when Fermund found them.

And apparently that really was a very dangerous snake. *shudder* I hate snakes.

Looking forward to more Merry comfort and cosseting, as only you can do.

Author Reply: Lol! I do have a knack for Merry h/c, don`t I? Lol. I`m glad you like it. Pippin is so brave, I think. Not caring about his own injuries as long as Merry is hurt.

I was very surprised to see only one review Anso as this is good stuff. I am dying to read more. Capable Pippins are a good read and yours seems to capture that balance between child and adult that all tweens suffer with although his experiences have definately shifted the balance.

Author Reply: Thank you! I`m glad you like it. A few more people have reviewed, so you aren`t the only one. :)
