<3 Sam, but you do sort of associate Merry and Pip more with heroic tales - and especially Merry with Eowyn. They were there for the big battles, Sam was just there alone with Frodo, feeling small and making history. He would have had stories about the before and after, but considering what it was like for him in Mordor, it would be no wonder if he wasn't inclined to talk about it.
I see what you mean about the Rohirrim. I've always found Éowyn a hell of a lot easier to write than Arwen, at any rate.
If you wrote that fic about Denethor, it would be wonderful if it could fit in with this one, at least partly. I love it when a ficverse flows together (not that mine ever does). ...You know, I have read Merry/Éowyn-Denethor fic! Though he knew she was a gel, all right. It was by Singe and perfectly marvellous. I aped some of it in my own 'The Way Home'. I think it's a pairing just ripe with possibilities.
