I, apparently along with many others, enjoyed this story immensely. So much so that I felt obliged to register and give my first review of anything ever. Viv's open and direct style is quite distinct from Tolkien's authorial voice, but this just serves to make Eowyn's experience all the more accessible and juicy to the 21st century reader. The only inconsistency with my expectations I found in reading this was that Eowyn had managed to keep secret and safe her own little grotto within Helm's Deep - a device so well used by Viv that it is forgiven (contrast though to the humorous search for privacy in Knight's Service/Later on storiesofarda.com). The sex struck me not for its explicitness compared to other adult Middle Earth tales – maybe I’m more of a pervert than I realised - but for its erotic appeal; its credibility as a fulfilling encounter.

There's no point writing a twee sex scene. This is a screw I'd genuinely like to have. In fact it reminds me of the time...
