Lovely~ i really like the fact that Pippin such lovely images in the Palantir... I liked the line in which he inquired about Gandalf, Sam and Frodo though-- that definitely foreshadows that Frodo and Sam do not remain in Middle-earth to the end of their days...
I love the Aragorn and PIppin interaction~ =) Thanks for pointing this out to me~ i've been meaning to read this for a while and glad that you gave me one more nudge to do so. :)

Thanks very much, dear - I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, especially the foreshadowing. I think between the Took sight shown in Pippin and Aragorn's own foresight, looking into the palantir together must have been an experience. Thanks for your lovely comments :)

Nice story. It fills a gap in the story which is the later use of the Palantir by Aragorn.
There's just one practical thing that puzzles me. I never thought Palantiri showed things that did not happen yet (unlike Galadriel's mirror/Nenya). That would be too great an advantage for the kings of Gondor & Arnor on the battlefield (even though you mention the unaccuracy of the stones for things that are in the future). I think they would have predicted the fall of Osgiliath, Amon Sûl, Minas Morgul, and at least carried the stones away.

Thank you!...I don't know if the palantiri only showed things that were happening at the moment, or in the future. Denethor knew a lot of what was happening, but did he ever see things in the immediate future? I'm not an expert on palantiri! ;) I meant for Pippin to see future events, so if that's wrong, then this story can be taken as an AU. You've given me something new to ponder! :)

This is very sweet. Aragorn was very wise to help Pippin deal with the lingering trauma of the palantir. You wrote Pippin's fear, hesitation and final determination very well. :)

Oh, this was lovely, just simply lovely. A nice piece of fluff to take back into a day, which looks brighter now.
