Fields of Gold  by Anso the Hobbit 97 Review(s)
DreamflowerReviewed Chapter: 11 on 3/3/2005
This was just so satisfyingly lovely, Anso. Of course, it's not over yet--Merry's going to have to recover his strength, but with his Frodo and his Pippin both there, it should not be too sore a trial.
I adore the gentle and tender love you depict between the three of them. It is just as I always imagine it.

Author Reply: Oh, thank you! Yes Merry needs to recover, but it should not be too hard, no. And yes, they are gentle and tender towards each other those three lads. I always have looked at them that way too.

It`s not over yet though, one more chapter to go!

Oh! *happy sigh*

What a lovely ending. Pippin is so bright and cheery and young and able to bounce back, Frodo is as yet untouched by trouble, Bilbo is... Bilbo! (wish he'd sit and tell *me* stories! I'll have to ask him if he's not too busy...) And Merry, how nice to see him having nice dreams.

And the typical conversation at the end, the little one, so innocent and trusting and fearless, speculating on adventure, and the fond older one indulging him.

Very nice, indeed.

As my old riding instructor used to say: "Ya done good!"

Author Reply: Thank you for such nice words! It`s not over yet though. One more chapter to go.

As the healer turned to leave, Pippin scrambled down off Frodo`s lap and enthusiastically hugged what he could reach of her. “Thank you for healing my Merry, Miss Daisy!”

Yay! Healing hobbits! Such love and devotion... *sigh*



Author Reply: Yes! That is what we want, isn`t it. Happy, healthy (or at least healing) hobbits! Thanks.

The thing I always cringe to see is a sappy ending to a h/c fic, but you've managed to be credible, not campy and the chapter comes off very well balanced. Good work, Anso!

Author Reply: Thank you! It`s not over yet though. One more chapter to go. I try to not write sappy and I`m glad that you find that it isn`t. Then I have achieved that at least! :)

Poor Merry. He is Not Well At All. That must have been a very frightening moment for Frodo.

It's a lot for Pippin to deal with, too.

I hope the recovery starts fairly soon - Merry can't have a lot of strength left now.

Author Reply: I think Frodo is just as scared as Pippin, yes, and it is a lot for both of them to deal with.

Yes, it would be an awful choice, but a necessary one. And it appears he is beginning, finally, to come back to now.

Love the writing.

Author Reply: Thanks!

Am so glad Frodo and Bilbo are there now. Bless the dear Hobbits.

Author Reply: Yes, they are a great help to the Tooks and Merry. Thanks.

Poor little Merry--prescient dreams on top of fever.

I truly feel for the boy.

Author Reply: Poor lad, he is very ill now.
Thanks!

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 7 on 3/1/2005
Oh, I love both story and the poem. How wonderful! Will try to read the rest soon.

Author Reply: Thank you! I shall forward your thanks to Mel too. :) I`m glad you are enjoying it.
