You let Merry live! My Pippin found the Palantir, oh-no! What sort of hobbit-angst are you thinking up? Hope it's the good type!

I did indeed enjoy both the last chapter and this one, and I should've said so before. ^^ Pippin's monologue could use a few breaks, but overall a well done piece. I'm looking forward to the conclusion.

Yay! Merry didn't die and everybody's happy. I loved that comment about Pippin giving lessons about stuborness to rocks and Merry to mules. That was cute.

I have REALLY loved this story from the start! Unfortunately, I failed to bookmark it and have been going crazy trying to find it again. So THANK YOU for posting an update so I could find it once again!
Merry is my favoritest of LOTR characters and I was quite a'grieved that he was hurt so by the orcs and Saruman. You kept him and the other characters so wonderfully in character throughout this story! I could really see Merry deciding that he'd HAVE to sacrifice himself to save the Quest. Poor, poor Merry to be forced to make such a horrible decision while looking down at his beloved Pippin after thinking him dead all this time!
Chapter 12 made me cry...what with each character's outward struggle to deal with losing their brave Merry. I was supposing that Merry's body had basically shut down after he had erected those walls to keep Saruman from learning the identity of the ringbearer. That Pippin was able to reach him when even Aragorn could not is a testament to the strong bond between the two hobbit cousins. Thank goodness for miracles and the power of love!
I'm looking forward to reading the last installment! I've been picturing Aragorn lovingly cradling a sleeping Merry against his chest as they race on horseback back to Edoras for the next leg of their adventure. Merry's wounds are probably far more emotional than physical, and I'm sure they cannot remain to allow Merry time to fully recover.
Keep up the GREAT work! And thanks for adding a wonderful "Merry" story for all of us to enjoy!

No, Pippin! Don't plan! Everything's going to be okay, so don't you dare plan to look at that stone!
Sorry, I felt a strong urge to castigate Pippin for that last thought. I'm so glad Merry's awake! Update soon!

Oh my goodness! I'm am litteraly baling my eyes out. That was amazing. All the goodbyes and then how you made legolas and gandalf cry. Wow! I don't know what else to say, just that was the saddest thing i have ever read. I like the spin on the plot there at the end. That was definetly worth waiting for.
