Your beautiful drabble of the moment when Pippin catches Pervinca's eye after his return home, and his realization that his family, his sisters, did not come through the Troubles unscathed, his feeling of failure that makes him think of Frodo-- and then the end with his cheerfully cheeky last line-- an attempt to cheer Pervinca up and lighten the moment in true hobbit fashion, well it just brought tears to my eyes.

I know you wrote it for Dana, but it felt like you wrote it for me.
