I was glad to find the rest of this when I got back from my parents Dreamflower. A lovely read before the unpacking and washing! I've put it on my favourites list because I want to come back and savour so many great bits.
Aragorn's keen sight for injuries. Gimli's eavesdropping.
I just love the ending...... *signs off still listing the bits she enjoyed....*

Author Reply: I am very glad you enjoyed it so much, and I'm flattered that you think it one of your favorites!

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing!

At least Gimli is noticing the details here! Oh, bless the Dwarf! And they DO land on their feet, it seems--or at least these two do. If only it had been so easy for Frodo.

Author Reply: *grin* Perhaps it was easier for him, since they were closer to his size, LOL!

Well, Frodo had a good bit of "luck" as well (or Chance if Chance you call it) in the way things fell out for the best. Capturing Gollum as a guide, encountering Faramir, the orcs all killing one another in Cirith Ungol, being mistaken for Orc soldiers, etc. The problem was, his task was so much harder, and his circumstances so much more dire, that landing on his feet would have been very nearly impossible, even with all the "luck" in the world. There was just no way for things to be as easy for him, poor dear.

Thank you for this lovely story, Dreamflower. It always seemed to me that Aragorn & Co. were a bit less attentive to Merry and Pippin at Isengard than they should have been. It's nice to think that they truly cared, and greatly respected their small friends' resilience, light heartedness, and astounding luck and cleverness.

Author Reply: Well, of course, JRRT was determined to get in all the details of the storming of Isengard, and he rather stinted us a bit on the reunion.

But I think that they truly cared, very much so! They were, after all, (and especially Aragorn) entitled to go off with Gandalf and King Theoden and the others to consult with Treebeard, but they chose instead to spend the time with the friends they had set out to rescue, and over whom they had expended so much effort.

I think, all along, they had thought they would *have* to rescue Merry and Pippin. To learn that the two of them had actually managed to escape on their own must have really made them respect their small friends even more!

Flotsam and Jetsam is one of my favourite chapters in the book, and this was a great gap-filler!

Pippin and Merry's cheerfulness has them all stumped, yet I think Aragorn is the one who can see through the hobbits' culinary shield and down to the scars. Great observations on all parts. :-)

LOL, I liked Gimli's: “It is just--do they look *taller* to you?"

Thanks for a wonderful story!

Author Reply: It's one of mine, as well. When I was taking part in the "Chapter of the Week" discussions at r.a.b.t/a.f.t, I jumped at the chance to do the chapter summary for that one--I ending up doing "The Road to Isengard" as well, which gave me a rare opportunity to do two chapters back to back. It's a delightful chapter--I have a bunny for another gap-filler set in F&J, if I can just figure out where and how to shoe-horn it in.

Aragorn's a healer--his eyes are going at once to look for injuries!

*grin* That was the line which I knew from the very start of the fic would be my ending--it just seemed to fit!

I am very glad you enjoyed it. It was great fun for me to write a TTT gapfiller!
