Dana's drabble

[auntiemeesh]

danachan requested Merry and Pippin (or Merry/Pippin).

Contentment

They were settled comfortably onto the sofa, Pippin with his legs stretched across Merry’s and an apple in his hand, and Merry reading a book of herb lore Pippin had gifted him. A fire danced in the hearth, more for cheer than warmth this late in the spring. On a small table next to the sofa rested two half empty teacups and a plate holding a few biscuits. Outside the open window a soft wind was soughing through the hedge and stars shone in the velvety black sky.

“Happy birthday, Pippin,” Merry murmured. Pippin’s only response was a gentle snore.

Now that's an image that I love! Great drabble!

Thanks. Every now and again we just need a moment of stillness. :)

What a sweet scene! :)

Thanks. :)

Mmm, slash doesn't have to be gratuitous, you know? And this is lovely, and sweet, and emotes them so well, I think. Of course, I would like to join them, and snuggle on in. But I shall have to content myself to watching. Not that this is bad, you know?

Anyhow, yes. Some might read this as Merry and Pippin, but I have my OTP glasses firmly in place, so you know what I see. *grin* Thank you.

I'm glad you liked it, dear. It was a fun challenge to write something that was a little ambiguous in nature. :)

Oh, lovely imagery! I felt myself going all peaceful of a sudden. Very nice!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

And I hear we're going to be doing some birthday celebrating at Dragon*con. :D

*sigh* Yes, if I live so long, I will fully appreciate the celebration. This has been a killer month and there's still a good ten days to go. Surely May will be a kinder, gentler month for the Pebbles.

what a sweet and cosy scene!
I would love to join them...

Thanks! I'd love to join such a cozy scene too, but I don't actually do well with that sort of quietness so after about five minutes I'd be up and pacing the halls in search of something to do, lol.
