Ottis, this is really lovely and the rest of the fic was equally quaint, cozy as the closing line, and an oh so fitting way for a Hobbit to express his heart. I really like the way you adapt these stories so seamlessly. I enjoyed reading this immensely, the inherent sweetness of Merry is very touching.

love this line >>The last thing you wanted was for a Took or a Brandybuck to get bored and start making their own amusements...

very cute fic, I enjoyed the teasing and conflict between Pip and Merry. The ref to a camel hair brush in the orchards has my mind going interesting directions Twisted Evil smiley face

This is an extraordinary characterization of Merry - clever, incisive, even a little mean-spirited, but sentimental and sensible all at the same time.

I particularly liked your simile: "Hobbits rose to a party like a trout to a fly." It's hard in writing to imagine culturally appropriate (and therefore different than ours) expressions. This one's a beaut!
