Interesting start, and a lovely dynamic between Merry and Pippin. Looking forward to more!

Lovely story! You deal wonderfully with Merry & Pip's "Post Traumatic Stress." Too many people just imagine the younger hobbits lived happily ever after. You show that they don't but will someday. I think you had their characterizations spot on!

Very touching. I have read more hobbit stories lately. That is so unlike me. But this was so good. I loved the interaction. And as Nancy said, it shows the scars and whatifs that surely plagued those who did not said West. A wonderful jaunt down a path seldom taken. Thank you, very much.

To be able to share your pain with someone is a wonderful thing, if that's what you want. Pippin and Merry, having gone through the events of the War together are able to help and relate to each other. This was a great example of this connection, and even better because it isn't slash, or even suggestive of slash. Thhank you for the good reading.

Lovely story! Well told, both sweet and sad, capturing (to my delight) some of the Merry and Pippin characteristics that were a bit lost in the movies.

I agree with the others' comments on how well you presented the way the two hobbits deal with having been through the war.

BTW, I find it curious that so many writers make Merry childless. Is this because and Estella's children are not listed in the family tree in Appendix C?
But in The Tale of Years (Appendix B) in the notation for S.R. 1484, we read that Meriadoc "took counsel with his friend, the Thain, and soon
after they handed over their goods and offices to their sons and rode away over Sarn Ford..."

Anyway, please keep writing!
