This is really great! You've got amazing insight into Dean's situation in the Winchester family. The final paragraph just sums up everything about Dean's personality. And, of course, you've have to have a great monster for a Supernatural fic. You used Dean's weakness wonderfully.

I'm constantly amazed that you can come up with so many stories for the same two characters! I get far too attached to my first idea, and I can't seem to ever let it go. You've done a wonderful job creating new personalities for Lothiriel and Eomer, yet keeping them essentially the same. I'm stunned that one slight tweak of personality leads to an entirely new story. To top it all, they're still compatible! I was a bit late starting to read this, and now I'm positive I'll be putitng off work and term papers to read updates.

Yay! Finally!! Thank God!!! It seems like it took them years to kiss. (They've had an eventful day Wink smiley face

) I love Lothiriel's determination to help the Rohirrim in this chapter. Her logic is so much like my own! Imrahil could give his daugher to Eomer, so surely he can give a loan too. Are you going to continue this into the following Spring? I know you keep telling me it's going to be a shorter story, but I refuse to accept that. I guess I'm hoping you'll change your mind.

*sigh* I'm always so behind.

You're a horrible tease! I wanted to hear the conversation! Although I will admit, there's not much you can do when the story takes place in a day. You've got my mind buzzing. What did Eomer and Imrahil mean? What exactly did Amrothos mean? How will Lothiriel adapt?

Sorry this is short, but I'm really tired tonight. When I reread this chapter tomorrow, I'll see a dozen pearls I could have mentioned.

That was amazing! Eomer in his full glory knocking down every obstacle in his path. *sigh* There's nothing better, is there? I wonder what Eomer and Imrahil are going to plan now? And how Lothiriel will react. I don't forsee a calm reaction from her whatever they decide.

Another delightful chapter! I'm really enjoying the interaction between Eomer and Lothiriel. It's growing so naturally, I keep forgetting that this is only chapter 6. I can't decide if the scene with Lady Eiliniel or the scene with Amrothos prepared to challenge Eomer to a duel was the highlight of the chapter. Lothiriel is so real here--a headstrong young woman who is falling in love despite her better judgement. It's happens to the best Wink smiley face

I've been keeping up with the updates, but being the bad reader that I sometimes am, I haven't kept up with reviewing. I've enjoyed the last three chapter immensely. I like the way Lothiriel and Eomer break through a particular obstacle only to be set back by a different misunderstanding. It's so true to life. I look forward to more chapters!

I adore Legolas, but I can also appreciate a good piece of humor. I loved it.

I'm so glad I decided to check out your other stories! Even more, I'm glad that I didn't start this until it was finished. Reading chapter by chapter would have killed me! I read all of this is one sitting last night (I finished up at 4 a.m.), but I was too tired to review.

Have you ever wanted to read a certain story--say, about Eomer and Lothiriel--but couldn't find a single one that met your expectations of quality, agreed with canon, and still told a good story? Well, I have. I was to the point where I decided I would just have to write the damned thing myself. And then I read this story. Now, I don't have to write it, but I doubt I'll ever read another one I like as much. (Unless it's 'Black Eyes' which is still a compliment to you).

What I love is that you've taken a canon character we don't know much about and made her compatable with Eomer instead of turning him OOC to fit Miss Mary Sue. She is strong and brave, yet humanly flawed. And her flaws aren't just a bad past or a mean parent--they're real character flaws that we all have. I'm so impressed!

This is my favorite passage in the entire story:

He could only stare at her in wonder. “Don’t you think that trying to make Éomer jealous is a bit like taunting a sleeping lion?” he asked finally.

“What, inadvisable?”

“Dangerous!” he stated with deep conviction.

This is maybe the best description of Eomer I've ever read. It captures him perfectly--not to mention Faramir and Eowyn as well.

You have me laughing, gasping, frowning, and leaning closer to the screen. That I read all of this without stopping (except to grab a snack), I think, is testament to how much I enjoyed it. Wonderfully done, and this is going on my Recommendations list.

The second chapter was great! It had me laughing out loud. My family thinks I've gone crazy, especially since they don't have a clue who Eomer and Lothiriel are. I'm looking forward to more of Lothiriel's battle tactics.
