| I am enjoying seeing Pippin through Diamond's eyes. Her insight and her misconceptions are very interesting. You have written her bitterness at her situation and her interest in Pippin very well. A wonderful first chapter. I will enjoy this very much, I am sure. | |

| What a wonderful companion piece to your other fic! I especially likeds this though, even more so than Pippin's tale, I think. it had a poignant ending, but I really do like it, as I've always imagined Pippin and Diamond's marriage to be unsuited and hard, just as you've portrayed it. But I just wanted to tell you one thing (though I'm sure you must know, and have just disregared it for somereason or another) is that Merry and Estella were not childless, in fact, they had one son at least, it says so in the appendix of Rotk. I think it says something to the measure of, 'Meriadoc and Pippin left the Shire to Gondor, and leaving their offices to their sons, were never again seen in the Shire. And I apologize if I seem snide, I don't mean to, just saying in case you didn't know ^_^. But other than that little snippet, I must say this was quite wonderful! Very good job! I like your style and very much enjoyed your other fic too, about Pippin lighting the Beacons. Again, this was delightful, and it gave much dimension to the Diamond of Long Cleeve that I've always imagined! Author Reply: Thanks for the review! There just didn't seem to be a place for the birth of Merry's son in this story, and since Tolkien didn't give a name and fandom hasn't come to a consensus on one, I decided to leave it out. After all, who's to say he's biologically Merry's son ... or more to the point, Estella's? ;-) | |
