This exactly the sort thing I had in mind when I made that prompt! Although I did not imagine the lovely historical notes and footnotes, but it's just wonderful , very much reminiscent of Tolkien's underpinnings for his world.
I want to quote beautiful bits back to you, but my copy/paste skills on the iPad are not very good--but I will just say that I love Merry's voice in this, most especially his yearning for Frodo, and the way his misses his friends, and his feelings of displacement when he becomes Master, and all the humorous bits about barrels of mead and barrels of leaf.
And Eomer's letters are just as wonderful, and you can see the love and loyalty of these two friends.
THANK YOU!!!! (((((massive hugs)))))
PS-- You said there is more to come! That's the best news of all!
