Sneaky Snakes And Broken Bones  by Anso the Hobbit 31 Review(s)
DreamflowerReviewed Chapter: 3 on 9/19/2005
Oh, Anso, what a lovely chapter, filled with wonderful Merry h/c, and all the Fellowship working to help him.

But I especially loved that it was Frodo who was doing the most here--after all, Pippin had done his part already, and was overcome with exhaustion and his own injuries.

Too seldom do we see post-Quest Frodo as the care-giver, but I think that he would certainly be one for his Merry, if he were needed. This was wonderful!

This is very good and I liked Merry's talk with Frodo at the end of the chapter. Merry has been very brave throughout all of this and he has fought very hard against the black breath. I will be waiting for more of this one.

Author Reply: Merry is a fighter`and braver than he thinks himself. More is being betaed at the moment so stay tuned. :)

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.

Author Reply: Thank you. I am glad you liked it. :)

Looks like both cousins are in trouble. Poor Merry. I do hope that the snake didn't manage to bite him before he killed it.

Author Reply: Yes they definitely are in some trouble here. :)

I love the last part the best. I love Merry and Frodo camaderie. And for some reason, i love the sick Merry waking up to ask what's happened but still feeling ill somewhat~
Question--did the snake cause the Black Breath to come forth again? Since Aragorn said that the Enemy had many ways still yet to ensnare innocent persons...
I love your h/c and can't wait for more! :)
awww Merry~! ::huggles him and you::

Author Reply: Thank you. I am glad you like it. And yes, the snake did in a way cause it. But not because it is from the Dark Lands. Merry is not yet fully healed from the stabbing of the Witch King so an accident like this makes it easier for the Black Breath to take hold of him.

A sweet awakening for Merry. Both Merry and Frodo have been through the worst of the Shadow and would have more fellow-feeling, I'd expect.

Author Reply: Yes. They share more than especially Frodo at first think when it comes to this.

A wonderful new chapter :-D I really like this story. I promise to be a good webmaster and put these chapters on the website soonish ;-)

Author Reply: Thank you! On both occasions. :)

Those snakes don't sound too good. Don't want too many of them around. And poor Merry is going through it at the moment. Between the effects of the Shadow, the broken bones and the infection - he needs all the attention he can get.

Still - he has an excellent support network, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Author Reply: Merry has all the love and care he can hope for when something happens to him, but he`s in quite the pickle here. :)
