This was absolutely beautiful. The ties between both cousins and their wives was very touching and real, the hobbit-ness very intense (although the first chapter did not specify who it was about and at first I had the feeling it was a Thranduil fic).
I commend you for taking the hobbits. And for portraying them with so much heart and truth. thank you, for all of us.

This thing is too good not to have more than one review. I wanted you to know I've put this fic on my recommended list. It's THAT good. I have rarely felt so stricken by a story - the agony Merry feels is just astonishing and cuts right through you. I can't tell you how rare it is to find that kind of skill in a writer of fanfiction. Thank you for writing this one. I really love it.

Ahh, some fine quality angst here. I especially like chapter 3 for the descriptiveness, the bond between Merry and Pippin, and the emotional resolution--and it's nice to think of the house at Crickhollow being put to such pleasant use too.

Oh, how beautifully agonzing. So poignant and heart-wrenching. I have no words to express my love for this story. It paints such pictures in my mind, that it even inspired me to draw some artwork for it, it was so lovely. It was written poetically, if I should venture to say that, so wonderfully, that I enjoy re-reading it. Thank you for writing this. Again, I don't think I have the right words to say how v. beautiful this was. ~Saoirse

P.S. I actually was not a member here, and after I had read this again today I decided I simply must leave a review, and it said you had to be registered to leave a review! So here I am, and here is this review. So your wonderful fic was the reason for me becoming a member of this lovely community.

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!

Dear God. I found this via a link in Ariel's journal. This grips my heart and tightens my throat, and I would love to retire into a silent room and have a good long cry, facing this terrible depth of grief. You're a brilliant writer, my friend.

This has left me speechless and weeping. I wish there was a way for me to reach out and comfort both Meriadoc and Peregrin. Beautifully written.
