Thank yous

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and big sloppy kisses to whoever gifted me with six months of LJ time!! No one's done that for me before and it is so very lovely to know you want me to stick around. (Not that I was planning on leaving, oh no, heavens no.) It was a really wonderful surprise.

In other news, fanfic made me love Merry and Pippin. Not the movies and not even the books, as it seems to have been for most of you (though I feel it now when I reread), but the fanfic and discussions about fanfic in which it is shown how much Merry and Pippin love Frodo. For some reason I seem to love them, and feel their love for Frodo, even more strongly when they're not, you know, having sex with him. It's there in canon, of course, I just needed it pointed out to me.

Please go read What Friends Are For (Frodo and Merry genfic, with Merry getting ready to receive Frodo at Crickhollow) by mariole and At Crickhollow (non-explicit Merry/Pippin, as they prepare to leave together and again after they come back) by danachan, and then come back here and we'll cry together.

Oh, thank you for the rec! I will peep into Dana' Crickhollow and I have your M/P on my list as well.

You are very darling, Sophie! I'm glad you'll be staying around. :)

Wonderful stories, aren't they? I do love stories that explore the relationships amongst the cousins, gen or slash.

You're very welcome! Thank you for the fic! And the other fics! And I do hope you get a chance to read Dana's and my M/Ps at some point. We helped each other a lot all the way through and we ended up really loving both fics.

Mmmm, yeah. F/M smut is great, but so is a good friendship fic that really helps you understand the characters better.
