Why this must be read:
I think this is one of the best things ever -- and one of the first times that I'd ever seen someone write the three of them together. It's amazing, and the characters are written with such care and love -- but still, the story manages to be incredibly hot. It's utterly wonderful, and not only can you see the joy in it, but you can also understand the tears. Ruby has this, well, utterly amazing way with words, and I really do think that she has an incredible gift. And that's just one more reason why this story should be read -- just for the joy of her writing.
"You started on the second verse," Merry says, voice warm, and Sam realizes that these are the first words they've said since they left the Havens. Pippin merely grins at Merry and starts in on the first verse, and so does Merry, and so does Sam.
That song leads to others, to walking-songs and riding-songs and dancing-songs, as they ride on through the opening woods, over green grass and under warm sunlight. Even so, by the time they sing "For though it was day, to Her surprise, they all went back to bed!" Sam has tears rolling down his face, and Merry and Pippin draw rein and wait for him to come up between them; Pippin presses a handkerchief into his hand, and they wait till he sniffles to a stop.
"Well, we're nearly home," Merry says, and Pippin nods. They are on a small hill, looking down into rolling green country; Sam looks ahead at a patchwork of woods and farmland, stitched with fences and dotted with smials. He looks at Merry, sitting Stybba with grace, hair shining in the sunlight, and at Pippin, bright-eyed and sharp-nosed, watching Sam with a wise sweet smile. Frodo's Shire, Frodo's kin; Sam's home, his friends.
