Like Holding Sparks in Your Hand by Lullenny (R)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Merry/Pippin

Why this must be read:
This beautiful story is set after Frodo's departure from the Grey Havens, and shows the other hobbits learning to live in their changed world and with the changes in themselves. I usually prefer Merry/Pippin that is set before they return to the Shire, because I find that it's rare that an author can work slash into the canon of their hetereosexual relationships in a believable way. But Lullenny succeeds at this, gracefully and very realistically. There are many moments in this story that make my heart ache, and also moments of joy that I can't forget. The story is full of wonderful details that make it come alive; all of the hobbits, even those we only meet briefly, are distinct characters and are definitely hobbits. One of my favorite Merry/Pippin stories!
