OOOH! I can't believe I missed this one!!! I loved "The Bond". I thought it was fabulous in every sense of the word: setting, characterization, word choice, etc.... I am so excited that you have embarked on another adventure in Tolkien's world and invited us along for the ride.

I was intrigued to read that she was returned by her own choice. (Reminded me of Finwe when he wanted to marry Indis and, if I remember correctly, the first wife Miriel was consulted and chose to remain in Mandos). I love "what if's" and this is so plausible. It is also very nice to see such judicious use of Sindarin, such a beautiful language, to convey the depth of feeling in your work. The parting scene where she faints into her mates arms is just so beautiful. And also beautiful is the portrayal of her bond being strongest with her lifemate and then the sudden realization of who Legolas is. I thought it was very poignant. My ONLY dissapointment is that at the beginning you said you were going to explore this tale in three chapters. I can only hope that means you have other, equally intriguing, plot bunnies hibernating somewhere. Bravo! Adding this to my "watched" and "recommended" lists!!!

Okay, I stayed up late into the night to finish what's posted so far. Just had to know what was gonna happen next. Just captivating. I love the themes of grief, remorse, forgiveness and reconcilliation you've woven through this tale. Bravo! more please!!

"DOOOOMED" I just loved that!!!! I once had the pleasure of working with a retired marine drill sergent with bushy and graying red beard and hair. Sharp tactician and faithful friend. He had a rough, gravely voice and reminds much of your Gamling, who is just so real! Again, so enjoying this. looking forward to getting inside Gamling's head again.

Well done! Hard to say it was nicely done, so very dark. I think you captured the essesnce of despair and the steely resolve which, indeed, is the "magic of another kind" found in The Shire. Even in despair you did not leave him without some comfort and very small measure of hope in his purpose to save his homeland and in a sense, die to save his companion from the ring's evil - "greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friend" (okay, Hobbit).

Truly beautiful and tragic. The story was developed well. I just really wanted Boromir to ride off into the sunset with his true love, but life is not like that - I think you captured that well. Now I have to go read your other stories.

I agree with the previous reviewer about use of first person narrative. I think it was a little distracting. A new writer? You have much potential. This story has a good structure and premise. If you wanted to rework it, it might be good. However, you might consider keeping it as is and trying a different route on your next work(please write more). i have to say, your Haldir is quite endearing. Your OFC is also very likeable - "I am NOT your sister!" I liked that thread through the whole piece, especially seeing it in the last chapter!!!!(likewise, PM me if want clarification of anything I've suggested). Smile smiley face
