Gorgeous imagery! I'm in awe. You've done an amazing job of painting such a vivid, horrific picture, which made me shiver, in so few words. Excellently done! Thank you for sharing  |

A more coherent review as promised:
I like Nessy very much -- she is a nice supporting character for Tindome; sometimes a counterpoint because well Tindome is a modern girl at one hand, and "not quite an elf, but still"  on the other.
I love the entire scene in the court. And the idea of Orophin having a older woman as his lover, too. Not every woman in Gondor was a young, willowy and beautiful Miss of Middle Earth, and it's good to have someone remind us of that. Thank you
Very good stuff! Looking forward to reading more. |

| Thank you. It has been interesting to bring Nessy in again. The scene at court was fun to write - I could just imagine the gossiping. And writing the scene between Orophin and the lady was pure joy - looking at a rather plump, middle-aged, lady who washed regularly and knew about horses as a perfectly reasonable lover to choose - and how he looked at her as the encounter went on, gave me so much pleasure to write! |

Glad to see this updated. M'kay, more coherent review will follow soonish, if you don't mind. I did just a quick read and oh boy... What was my name anyway? |

| Hee - it was fun to come back to the younger Tindómë, and to look at how Orophin would look at being given his choice of quite a few members of the Gondorian court! |

Thank you so much for the review. I wrote this specifically to be a 'cowboys in space' but it won't sell specifically because that's what it is. It's one of the 'rules' of the game: if you can take the characters and plot and place it anywhere, anytime, it's not SpecFic. LOL. But it was fun to write. I never felt I wasted my time with it and I find it fun to share. If you've seen the movie "Rustler's Rhapsody" that is a wonderful fun parody of all the old westerns, I hope you can recognize the "same story over and again" in this short piece.
anyway - I'm rambling now Thanks again for the review. |

I just smiled warmly. This was a sweet, touching, and sexy chapter altogether. Lovely a way to say a final good bye to one's former homeland, I suppose.
Very nice. Thank you |

Awww, this was a very emotional chapter. I especially loved the talk between Legolas and Tindome. I think that it was really tough for a human to realize what exactly an elf must feel and think about leaving his mortal friends behind. Tindome summed it up very accurately when she compared herself to a rock in the stream.
Loved the last bit as well
Great story! Thank you |

Thank you, thank you. I'm so glad that the 'rock in a stream' analogy works for you too.
That last little scene just sort of wrote itself. |

What a wonderful meeting! I have a big, happy smile on my face. And I like the "younger side" of Tindome expressed more significantly. Time may have passed; she had a husband and a son, but she still wanted to play in the snow Even though she and Álith didn't mention how far they had grown apart as far as their age was concerned, Tindome seemed way younger. Which of course brought a bit of sadness to the chapter.
Lovely chapter! Thank you |

| Thank you - I have always planned for them to meet again now and I wanted Álith to still be Álith, but clearly older. Of course Tindómë is older too - but is already ageing as an elf - she is so young that all the other elves (apart from the few, new, elflings) are older than her, and even the elves who are two or three thousand years or more in age tend to have that almost childish joy in things when amongst their own. She will get to play in the snow eventually! |
