cimoreneACK! this one was really good. i mean, i actually held my breath. i tensed every muscle towards the end i think.
sneaky tricks for spurious tension, perhaps, in that at the moments of highest tension it was still perfectly clear what ending you were creeping up on. if you know what i mean. nonetheless:
a dolls' heart by venenatus venustas; merry/pippin, pg. some poor dialogue towards the end, some possibly questionable characterization towards the middle. overall very good. sweet. rather innocent shirefic, pre-quest, about growing up, with a sort of teen movie plot. but no, it really does work. i mean, i wouldn't have missed reading it for the world. i'm sure i'll want to read it again.
