i loved this! I adore Merry anniversary fics as much as Frodo ones so i was glad to read this little ficlet-- i really liked Pippin being there for Merry and the comforting words were great to read as well.
Poor Merry in remembering the slaying of the Witch-king
really liked that last bit with Pippin about Old Man Willow~!
Great stuff, Jen-- i'm glad you're writing again. =)
Author's reply
Thanks, dear! I'm glad I'm writing again too! I've missed it (and the hobbits) a lot, but as you know, the muse can be very stubborn. I'm so glad you liked the bit about Old Man Willow. That was a last minute addition and I really hoped it would work! :)

I have so missed your hobbit stories! This was lovely. Very like hobbits in the way they didn't dwell on the dark things too long. Bravo! Anytime you feel like writing I will turn up to read it.
Author's reply
Thanks so much, GW! I really appreciate your very kind words. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this ficlet :)

So many things could well set off the memories, I'd think. Poor Merry--but at least Pippin understands--far too well, possibly.
Author's reply
Yes, I think that Pippin definitely understands what Merry is going through at a personal level. Thanks so much for reading, Larner!

A dark dream indeed for both of them. I love Pippin's gentle scolding that if Merry had told him then he could have looked after him better.
Author's reply
Thanks so much, harrowcat! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I loved writing Pippin as the caregiver :)

Aha! Thanks for the link! *grin* I love your precocious young Bilbo--indeed, his curiousity will fade for a while; perhaps his experiences in the Fell Winter will even make him timid for a time. But Gandalf will be able to rekindle that spark of Tookishness in him!
*sigh* I wishwishwish there were more stories about little Bilbo!
Author's reply
Thanks, dear! I'm so happy that you like this one as well. I wish there were more wee!Bilbo stories too, he is so endearing to read and write about! I like your idea about the Fell Winter...I must ponder it some more! *g*

Oh, I'm so glad I found this one! I love the idea that this encounter might have been what drew Gandalf's attention to Bilbo many years later!
"Would-be thief" indeed! Little did he know he'd grow up to be Burglar Bilbo!
I hope I can find the other one...
Author's reply
Thank you! I'm glad you liked this oldie :D
I hope you found the other one...it's called "Questions and Answers."
I love writing wee Bilbo! He's so much fun.

Clever thinking on Pip's part! I think he's made a good point. Loved it!
Author's reply
Thanks, GW! I'm glad Pippin's logic makes sense to you! I think he's quite the clever lad :D

LOL!!! Now that's logic!
That reminds me of an ancient computer game called "Monkey Island", in which the hero fell off a cliff. A message appeared saying "You lost! Please resume the game." Seconds later the hero bounced up again and said
"Below was a rubber tree!" ;-) His name was *not* Pippin, of course.
Author's reply
LOL that sounds like a funny game. A rubber tree! Maybe Pippin would have felt more comfortable in a rubber flet ;)
Thanks for reading, Andrea!

I LOVED IT! There are few things in this world better than Wee!Pippin bath fics and this is a stellar example! Loved how you wove the song in and made Bilbo the rare adult who encourages a good splash. How delightful!
Author's reply
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I can't resist wee Pippin, but singing-in-the-bath wee Pippin is particularly special :D

That was oh, so sweet! And picture-perfect, too - how a baby is more enthralled with bright ribbons and wrappings than actual gifts.

Author's reply
Thanks so much! I've always thought it was so funny that people go to so much trouble picking out the perfect gift when the baby only wants the ribbons and bows. *grin*

Treasure! What a wonderful mathom for Pippin to give his parents. It will be tucked away and prized greatly.
Clever Frodo. He even managed to remain paint-free!
Author's reply
Thanks so much, Bodkin! I'm so glad you enjoyed :)
Frodo IS very clever. I love writing him and wee Pippin :D

The perfect gift when flowers aren't available. Yes, most of us have done the handprint gift once or twice.
Author's reply
I remember making handprints when I was in pre-school and they were quite a hit with my parents. I though Paladin and Eglantine would like a set of their own :)

I DO remember this one, and can't think why I didn't respond. The courage given by example and caring is always sweet.

At least Sam did get to meet some Elves, becoming more of an expert on Elves in the end than many from far more affluent families.

This is adorable, S.Tookish :-) And Frodo is right, how nice for Paladin and Eglantine to have something that will last.
Well done!

Thanks so much, Pearl! I haven't had much time to write lately but I wanted to have something ready for Shirebound's birthday. I'm so glad you enjoyed :)

Great timing Gandalf! 'A wizard arrives just when he means to.'! Lovely glimpse of 'like father, like Son', ST.
Author's reply
Thanks, harrowcat! I'm so glad you enjoyed. Yes, I do believe that Pippin took after his father very much :)

A good moment for Gandalf to arrive! Or there might never have been a Pippin ...

LOL yes, and that would have been a terrible thing!

Ha! Like son, like father in this case eh? How charming the idea of it.
Author's reply
Yes, I think that Pippin would have taken after Paladin very much. I've never written Gandalf rescuing Pippin from a tree, but he certainly helped him out of a few scrapes here and there ;)
Thanks for reading, Larner!

Excellent, ST!!! I love this. Paladin was so brave to make it down to the branch Gandalf pointed out to him.
Gotta love us Tooks ;-)
Author's reply
I thought it important that Paladin climb down at least a little bit, so he would realize that despite his fear he could do it. Besides, I couldn't imagine Gandalf scurrying up the tree to rescue him, lol!
We Tooks are irresistible! ;)
I'm so glad you enjoyed, Pearl! Thanks very much!
