This is still an endearing tale and I love your Beorning. Imagine, Boromir being a "little fellow!" Yes, Pippin would be thrilled!!

Pearl Took

I shall have to read this again, I'm sure, as with most of your chapters. This has been a haunting tale that will take time and re-reads to glean all of it. I'm loving it!
Pearl Took

I have joined them in their tears.
Pearl Took

Oh, my! I'm filled with wonder, with the 'magic' of her voice and her words. Where is she about to take our dear Ernil?
This has such power!
Pearl Took

I've appreaciative tingles running up and down my spine. Another great chapter! I love how you have Her sounding like Pippin owns Boromir. "your Man" Wonderful as always!
Pearl Took

Oh dear are Boromir and Pippin in trouble? I hope not it will be terrible if something bad happens but I suppose that is what fanfic's are for! Looking forward to finding out what they conclude abour "empty places" thank you for continuing to write! Looking forward to more!

"Sorrowing or not, Pippin was still the game little fellow Boromir had grown to love and respect. The hobbit would sit there and turn blue before he would ask for help, and Boromir knew that small bodies lose heat more quickly than bigger ones. Pippin would need help to stay warm, but Boromir knew better than to wait until Pippin asked. Faramir had been the same, so Boromir knew what to do. He had thanked the Light many times for his knowledge in regards to managing little brothers."
"A library, Boromir, a library! A library like the one in Gondor, but with a difference. One that any hobbit may walk into and borrow a book. Diamond would have loved it, and it would help to make her dream of helping the poor come true. If they are educated, they can do better! That way there need not be so many living in ignorance."
OH YES!! This is just perfect! Wonderful. Marvelous. This is just to good!
Pearl Took

Oh, you taunt and tease us! What is the significance of "ignorance"? What further deep and important memories are in store? Glimpses into the hearts and souls of these two dear friends. Thank you for this story and I hope it is helping to fill your own empty spaces. Peace to you, my friend!

Oh My Gandalf!! This has grabed me and shan't let go! I really hate to say this, being a writer and knowing the pressure and such, but please . . . more . . . soon . . . quickly! I'm feeling as haunted as Pippin!

I don't know if you meant it as such but this chapter has a soothing quality. It has a rhythm to it. It is a wonderful chapter and as always, I eagerly await the rest.

"No, not yet. But that is why I want you to come home with me. Let Faro stay with Merry a while and you come for a nice long visit, and perhaps we can sort each other out. Because I tell you, Pippin, I have been tempted to act the same way you have."
"No! No, Boromir, one of us is enough! One is too much! I swore I would never be… like that."
It would be the thing that would reach Pippin, I agree. He would never, ever want to be like Denethor. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of their healing.

"Piss off!"
"You open this door right now or I’m going to kick it in, and I may even wash your mouth out with soap!"
"You wouldn’t dare. Piss off!"
Oh, this is just too perfect! LOL I can hear that Tookish brogue yelling at Boromir to "piss off"!
This is grabbing my heart. I await the rest with eagerness!

PipkinSweetgrass,
"He just sits there looking into the fire and saying nothing. I don’t know what to do, Estella. I’ve always been able to give him a hand up when he needed one, but this time… it’s just too big for me, Estella! How do I help him? He’s heartbroken. In all our years together, I’ve never seen him like this. It’s like he’s fading away. He doesn’t eat, he hardly sleeps, he has let things go to seed at the Smials. Nobody knows what to do. I should know what to do, but I don’t. Not this time. Not this time." Merry’s eyes filled with unshed tears.
What a beginning. You know me well, and you had my heart in this tale right away. How I hate to see our Ernil in pain.
You so wonderfully paint the picture of Boromir squeezing himself into a hobbit home! 'Tis clear as clear in my mind!
A grand beginning, I eagerly await the rest :)
Pearl Took

Woo hoo! Very romantic and even sexy. I like Pippin telling Saro she would be falling on her back. Again, you did so well! You must give us more!

Beautiful, just wonderful. I love Pippin's song. I can almost see him performing. I like the kiss Saro and Boromir gave him at the same time. That would make me laugh too.
