LOL this one was really funny.

"I have always been a philanthropist at heart."

Oh, stow it. : )

Absolutely hilarious. I knew it would end up with Estella sooner or later, but Freddy was almost too much. He took it very well, though. Probably used to Merry's escapades by then. : )

Sweet fluffiness all over. Cheers!

I really enjoyed this. I love your characterisation of Merry.

Don't know if you're still posting, Baylor, but wanted to let you know how much I've loved your work since I started reading and writing fanfiction myself.

It isnt easy for Merry to introduce a new custom to the Shire, but finaly it spreads. A lovely story.

Very funny! I love your wit:

From the overstuffed armchair in the corner, Pippin merely lifted the stem of his pipe to me in salute. “Good job, Merry,” he said, and then turned to Berilac and said in a knowing voice, “He’s been at your da’s homebrew again after supper, I’ll wager, though you told us it was all gone.”

“Thank you, Merry,” Berilac said dryly. “I’ll let you explain to his mother where he learned that.”

I am in haste and have no time to write more.

Cheers!

aw,how cute!very nice

And a Merry Yule to you as well, my friend.

I love it. Ah the thought of Merry being a playa is just hysterical. I love the way you take their personalities and add details to them that are plausible but rarely thought of.

::sighs in hobbity contentment::

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BAYLOR!

Brilliant, as always. I can't stop smiling.
