Okay a review: liked it, could image the opening of the doors, sunlight streaming in and dust floating on beams of light, dust bunnies in the corners. Only concern was I don't know if I'd describe meduseld with brittle timbers as if it were fragile. I imagine the great hall as a symbol of strength. Must say, in a few words you painted a scene on the imagination, as much a visual description as an emotional feeling.

Ditto. Great description of Merry's journey river by river. It even flowed like the rivers. Nicely done.

Elrohir's Tale · Thu Oct 28, 2004 3:00 am

Okay, just stumbled on this while looking for a nice elf to read about before bed. Being a twin mywelf, I was sucked in. Now it is 3am and I have a busy day tomorrow but the day dreams will be well worth it. Butterflies will have new meaning to make me smile!!!!

Okay, I am so completely hooked on this story!! LOve that hard headed, stubborn Glorfindel! What an awful patient (but then men are). Glad the brothers got a dose of reality! OOH what a hard decision to sort out regarding Maeglin!!! Please update again soon!!! well done, well written, well thought out!

WOW! what they've all said. So moving, well depicted. My insides were churning from the emotions evoked by your descriptions. I am SO hooked! Can't wait to follow this relationship. Love among men is a fast burning fire but with elves it is a small flame that warms and burns brightly and faithfully, eternally. I think you are depicting that without it seeming stale, or overlong. It is fresh and growing, hesitant but promises to be full and rewarding in the future.

ARGH! cliffhanger! I haven't been able to read for a while and come back to find this enchanting tale! I wonder if he will push her away again? I hope his mother stays gone the rest of the day and her "hunt" is succesful!!

I agree with all the above comments. A truly well captured moment. It was easy to picture in my mind. So many fics are full of dark and danger. You hinted at that reality of the day without it overwhelming the mirth and emotions of the moment. Well done.

Your writing style does flow with the beauty and grace befitting the time and place. The only line I saw that I felt jarred a little was "she was lucky to have Finrod". May I suggest something more like "she felt blessed to have found Finrod" or have been blessed by his attentions or something other than "lucky", it seems too - modern. Having started the Sil again, second time around, hoping to get the details straighter this time, I so appreciate a fan fic author that can bring to life characters that Tolkien didn't "paint" for us. I really felt like I was there. Yep, Finrod knows how to treat a lady! Thanks for a lovely read, looking forward to your next work.

Wow! what they said! Delightful descriptions, especially the animals!!! I think they are some of the best original characters I've had the pleasure of reading! I'll be watching what you post! A jewel of a read, and Haldir lives (we know PJ had it all wrong). Love the dragon (did I say that already?). Again, Wow!

I can't believe you have so few reviews for this excellent tale! I feel you have truly captured Glorfindel's personality. I really enjoyed your take on the beginnings of Imladris and the humor and friendship between Elrond and Gil-Galad's households. Lindir is just the key to unlock Glorfindel's heart, guided by Mithrandir's wisdom. A joy to read. When I have time I'm going to reread it.
