How the Eorlings Ride · Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:07 pm

This was delicious! Way to go, Merry! Great story. I got here from a recommendation from Marigold on LJ and it was well worth the trip. Thank you for an enjoyable ride, er, read.

Another great chapter! I seem to remember one of your other tales in which Eglantine suffers post-pardum depression. It does seem that Esmeralda is right when she says that the smial is cursed what with her father's problems and now this trouble with Eglantine. She must feel lost without her friend. It is good that Saradoc is there to help her and I did enjoy the fact that Esmeralda's father seems to be softening a bit.

More soon!

I can't help but love Saradoc more with each new chapter. His manners, his willingness to do things the proper way even though her father doesn't have any idea what is going on at times. I loved his responses to Esmeralda's challenges about the gossip and the seriousness of her father's problems. I also loved the teasing between Eglantine and Esmeralda in the kitchen. The water battle was so cute and so like dear friends. I loved the way Eglantine encouraged Esmeralda to have her own life and to allow her to look after the Mr. Took and Paladin. So like a dear friend and older sister! Looking forwrd to much, much, more. I do find myself hoping that this is a long story with lots of lovely chapters and romance.

“I shall wish for rain every time trading takes me through Tookland if there is no easier way to see you again, Esmeralda,” he said, and the promise in the words and the sudden flash in his eyes made her heart beat faster.

“Then I fear the River may flood its banks before season’s end…” she whispered. “Yet I too will hope for rain and dream of rivers amber in the sun. Fare you well on your road, Saradoc Brandybuck.”

I wish I could write romantic lines like those. This is fantastic for so many reasons. I like your Saradoc because he seems so easy going and so very apt to have a 'Merry' child later in life who might get his head strong nature from his mother? I also found your discription of Esmeralda's father's mental state so realistic. My grandmother, who is 94 has begun to mix the past with the present and at times when she looks at us we do wonder who she sees and where she's gone. Heartbreaking and your characterization is very accurate. One minute she is making perfect sense and the next she is off again. I am hoping for lots of rain for Saradoc and Esmeralda! I love the way he defended her head strong ways to Paladin. Saradoc truly is a gentle hobbit. More please! I adore this!

“I’d mind this jewel, boy,” Otho cautioned darkly. “The glint hides a cutting edge to take the fingers from your hand.”

Loved that line. So discriptive and in a way, a tiny bit flattering if looked at properly. She is much more than she appears on the surface and can certainly take care of herself if need be. I am enjoying this very much and I was glad that you had time to post more of it. I am anxious for these two to get better aquianted and I am wondering if Paladin will be making an appearance. Anyway, loved this and will be awaiting more! Still also very fond of Saradoc's dogs. LOL

I love this! I am a huge fan of Saradoc and Esmeralda and so I am looking forward to every word of this one. For some strange reason I have always liked Merry's parents. I love the hobbit lasses in your stories because they always have such spirit. I was glad that Esmeralda wasn't cowering when Saradoc found her and even more pleased that she kept her head and killed the fox herself. Saradoc was such a gentle hobbit in this and this is a lovely beginning. More, soon, please. I am dreadfully greedy about these things. GW

Loved it! So like Merry and Pippin to make a contest out of this event too. For a brief minute at the first I thought that there was to be a bit of a swap. LOL This was fun to read. Thanks for sharing!

Found the link for this through Hobbit_Het and enjoyed it very much. I liked Pippin and Diamond asking 'all fair beings of Valinor' to bless them with a child and then having hot sex under the stars. Great story.

I found this one of yours through Hobbit_Het. I was nosing around the internet and came upon their site and there was this link to your wonderful story. I had enjoyed "Diamond in the Storm" so much that I clicked right over to read. This was lovely. I had once read a story in which Merry was the artist and this was a nice twist, with Pippin doing the drawing. I had tears in my eyes when poor Merry walked out into the water, and again when he looked in on his children, but for me the most telling line was when he was trying to explain that Estella had linked her hair up. Beautiful!

sex, sex, and more sex. I love it! Hope you are continuing this one. I am interested to see when and if Pip and Diamond get permission to marry or if they get caught before they get permission. Looking forward to more.
