A Very Warm Yule  by PIppinfan1988 24 Review(s)

Ah well, Pippin shouldn't blame himself, he did try to stop him. But I like that Degger has what I call "The Lochinvar Factor"! Always a good quality in Man or Hobbit!

Author Reply: "The Lochinvar Factor"...interesting! Now I'm the curious one!

Really should have put the "closed" sign up! Now see what's happened. I suspect he should also listen to Pippin's warning. Let's see...

Author Reply: LOL, yes, he should have! I bet he's learnt his lesson. ;-) True, Degger should heed Pip's warning, but...let's just say he's being single-minded at the moment. ;-)

Well it's good to see you writing a Yule tale! Always enjoy a good Yulefest!

Author Reply: How lovely to see you here! With some nudging from GW I've come out from hiding for a brief moment. :-)

I liked the way that Paladin tested Pippin in this chapter and the way that Merry observed, understanding just what Paladin was doing. And of course Merry will go with Pippin!

Author Reply: Thanks! Although I played on the idea of Pippin receiving "formal" lessons as a child, I can't imagine that there would be formal training for Thainship -- nor Master of the Hall, other than what the incumbents passed down. :-)

It's great how fervent Degger is! And I like the way that you demonstrate how close he and Pippin are!

Author Reply: Hullo! (((Marigold))) It's wonderful to see you! I do see Pippin and Degger as being close, however, Merry and Pippin will always be that much closer. :-)

It's lovely to see a story by you, T! It's been ages! Very nice to see Degger again and I am so happy at how things are turning out for him in his life!

Hope to see more stories from you soon!

Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I think this was GW's attempt to pull me out of hiding, lol. I will likely return again this year, but I don't know when. I do hope to get more reading in, though. I owe you a nice long letter -- or email! Thanks for stopping by to read. :-)

So great to see a story from you again.:) I really need to find and read "Hope" again. This was a sweet Yule tale. So nice to see degger and Pippin, et al as adults.

Author Reply: And it's great to hear from you, too! I gave you credit in ch. 1. ;-) Thanks for catching that! Even at 8 o'clock I was knackered, lol. I enjoyed writing them as adults, but I enjoy writing Pippin at any age. :-) GW found the Challenge story, so I posted the link in the prologue and temporarily in the 3rd chapter. Thanks for stopping by to read!

Ah.....lovely!

Author Reply: Thanks, Harrowcat! :-) Nice to see you!

How lovely to hear from you. Looking forward to a few minutes to indulge in this story. Happy Christmas and new Year rolled into one.

Author Reply: I know what you mean about the few minutes! :-) Thank you for stopping by and a Happy Christmas and New Year to you, too!

Oh I just love this! I love the way Degger proposed in the snow in the middle of his own rescue and I love that his bride-to-be followed the search party in secret. I also enjoyed how you worked a bit of teasing in between Merry and Pippin during the romance. Thank you for this lovely Yule gift! It's a great read to start off the new Year with. I hope you will find time to write more this year my dear friend.

Author Reply: I hope so, too. :-) I also liked the idea of Degger just doing the proposal right there in front of his friends. His bride-to-be wouldn't do anything less, but that all will come out in the telling of another story. ;-) Gotta have that banter, lol.

Glad you liked your gift!
