It was nice to see Merry getting out and about at the Inn. You're right--I don't think Merry's family will ever stop worrying about him. ;-) It's a fact that he must live with.

I'm looking forward to them visiting Frodo--that is, if Aunt Esme isn't too bad off.

This is going excellently--I'll be back for more!

Aww...hopefully this first bout will soon be past for our Merry, and he can once more be his cheerful self!

Pippin, Sara and Esme have taken such good care of him! And perhaps by the following year, Pippin will have gotten some athelas from Aragorn to help!

Author Reply: They do take good care of our lad, don't they? There is yet much more to come so more care will be given and recieved of course.

I was so excited to come back to this tonight after work and i'm glad to be pleasantly surprised that there was more that wasn't included in the first posting. :)
ooo things get interesting indeed! Poor Merry--i hope he gets "found" soon. :) I hope that Esme will not be overburdened with knowing that his son is afflicted by Shadow--seems like both mother and son have to get better soon. During the last chapter i was afraid for Esme because her heart had just been through a lot too. :p
Dear Pippin--indeed when he was writing the letter to Frodo he has to be careful of what he says. I love responsible and caring Pippin in this. :)
can't wait for more. :)

It's good to see Saradoc and Esmeralda getting involved with healing their son. And I love seeing a mature and knowlegdable Pippin :)

How will Merry manage to get through this? Poor Esmeralda! I do hope that she is all right but just now I am wondering why Merry isn't reacting to his mum's coming awake. I think Pippin and Saradoc are about to have their hands full in a very big way. I only hope the shock doesn't harm Esmeralda more.

Author Reply: Pippin and Saradoc are definitely having their hands full now. :)

At least Esme is back; but now they need to call Merry back as well. Hopefully Pippin will be able to do so. Lost in the greyness of the Black Breath is no place to be.

Author Reply: No, it is definitely not a place to stay.

Oh dear! Poor Merry--not only dealing with his first anniversary without really understanding what it is, but also with his mother's injury as well! However is poor Pippin going to cope!

But I'm so glad that Esme is going to be all right!

And the sun buns sound delicious--I've never heard of anything like them before!

Author Reply: Pippin is stronger than we think, and more grown up than anyone could imagine I suppose.

The sun-buns are delicious so I should try and post a recipe over at Shire Kitchen some time. You can use ordinary wheat bun dough and make them round and have rasins in them, make egg gream and put on top, then when they are baked, mix that flour like sugar I can't remember what's called with water so it becomes paste like, spread around the egg cream and pour coconut flakes on top. Yummy.

Merry angst! I adore your Merry h/c and angst--and with Esmie's condition, the angst really built up nicely in this chapter. :)
I hope both Esme and Merry will be all right but the suspense and the urgency of situations make it very intriguing and entertaining.
It's good that Pippin knows what's happening... fortunately though a healer is at hand for Merry.

Author Reply: It is very good thare is a healer at hand, yes. Thank you for reading. I am glad you like my angst and h/c because it seems that is the only thing I can write, lol!

Troublesome times indeed! It is awful when you realise that your parents are not as able and resiliant as they once were. And poor, poor Merry- just what he doesn't need. Some one help him quick!!!

Author Reply: Thanks! No, this is definitely not what Merry needs.

Reviewed this on LJ but just wanted to say how much I am enjoying it and I do hope the next chapter will be up soon. I have my fingers crossed that Esmeralda is all right.

Author Reply: Thanks. I am writing hard on the next chapter now.
