Aww...what a sweet and tender chapter! I can never get enough of reading about how they come to realize that *all*four*of*them* have miraculously survived, after all that they came through! *sigh* Just lovely, dear.

Thank you! I have always felt that Merry and especially Pippin were slighted by the Professor when it came to their time of healing, so I hope I am fixing that in my own little way in this tale. ;-) I have so enjoyed the way you and other authors have given them their due, too!
Thank you for reading!

What a wonderful relief for Pippin to know that everyone is safe; and to see his dear friends around him every time he wakes.
:D
Author's reply
To me, that would be one of the first things Pippin (or any of the hobbits) would want to know upon waking (that is, after asking for the time, lol.) He'd want to know how are and where are the others?
Thank you for all your encouragement, and thank you for reading!

. The aroma instantly calmed him. The residual despairing thoughts from his earlier dreams had dispersed--his heart now filled with hope and promise.
What a lovely image. Looking forward to more!

Thank you, shirebound! You know...I wrote this same phrase in the "old" version, but in a sort of abstract way. I've had so much help and encouragement from wonderful folks such as yourself since then, though I still have a long way to go. Don't know if I'll ever get "there", but I'm having a great time along the way. :-)
I'm happy you're enjoying the story a second time around. :-) Thank you for reading!

A wonderful start!!
I didn't see anything amiss.
Our poor dear lad at one of his most needy times. *sigh*
Well done and looking forward to more :)

Thank you for the feedback! I almost gave up the ghost on posting this tale yesterday, then just as I was about to click on "Edit", I found the missing words that had exploded on "impact". However, I didn't know if anything else was amiss, so that's why I asked for help in the search. You never know--I might need this assistance again, lol.
Oh, he is indeed needy--but at the same time, he is our Pippin...being Pippin. You'll see (again!). :-) Glad you're enjoying a second helping. ;-)

Ooo! I'm lovin' it. I know I read this early on at FFnet, but I've forgot it. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

Glad you're enjoying it--again, lol. You and a few others, I see. :-) There isn't as much as there was before--some of the old story ended up on the editing room floor, so to speak. Then again, there is some new material--like Pippin's dream imagery.

This is a promising beginning!
I love the imagery, and Pippin's calling for his dear ones! Look forward to more, dear!
Author's reply
Thank you! The imagery was something I added this time round--Pippin's dream sequence was rather boring before. I do love to both read and write dream imagery; I can't pinpoint just why, but I do.
I hope to post more on Friday, Saturday at the latest. I see I have a nice before-bedtime story to read tonight! :-)

Seems properly intact now.
Oh, I can certainly understand Pippin's feelings here. Poor lad! But between Aragorn and the athelas Pippin is in excellent hands now.
Author's reply
Thank you for the feedback, Larner! It was a terrible night for posting, lol. Yes, Pippin is in the caring hands of Merry and Aragorn...but can he lie still long enough to recuperate? We shall see. :-)
