I feel sorry for Arwen, I really do. The poor gal is closed behind the solid walls and doors, and behind the strange habits that try to keep her tied to the "throne", whatever that implies, while at the same time someone is plotting against the new king. This must be a very unsettling thought to ponder. But what friends are for? (Actually, I had a very unexpected idea of a the Scooby gang joining in the fun!).
Most intriguing!
(And since this is my 900th review here at OSA, let me cheer for that too!) |

Hurrah for your 900th review! And I am honoured that it is for my story!
I, too, feel sorry for Arwen - even though she has this reputation for sitting serenely doing her sewing I think she can't really be that placid, with the heritage she has! |

| Goodness! This is absolutely gorgeous! Why didn't I notice your story earlier that's beyond me, but sure as hell I tore through this almost without taking a break for another breath. Amazing! Thank you so much for a wonderful portrayal of Beleg and an interesting idea of Mablung the Noldo. Very refreshing and immensely well written Worh my sincerest recommendation. |

Ch. 21-22. Bah! Of course, everyone (almost everyone) would smell! And have some weird habits as far as hygiene goes.
As for perceiving elves, I think you have described a few very interesting observations, beliefs that come from ignorance and fear. Just like in any other society, the people of Gondor (and Rohan as we could see) might base their opinions on their limited knowledge and some folk tales, which, let us say, can be very far from truth. Poor Legolas... No wonder he felt bad being consider a royal weirdo, lol.
Lomion... Indeed, a meaningful name.
Looking forward to the next part. Thanks! |

Thanks again for reviewing - I have to say that I really enjoyed trying to see a formal court dinner and the members of the court through the eyes of Rumil, to whom it was all quite alien. Almost as alien to Tindómë of course! The locals and the Rohirrim having odd ideas about elves - who they had really thought of more as myth than real for hundreds of years - seemed reasonable to me - and interesting to think what they may believe.
And then it occurred to me that Orophin, and indeed Rumil, would have played his part in the legends of grey shadow spirits and so on...
Lomion is, indeed, an unfortunate name... |

Ch. 19/20. Finally, I got to review the updates! And I have to tell you that I totally forgot about something important -- that Tindome/Dawn is borrowed from another universe. I really did recall that when I read the scene in the garden and Tindome's story as she summed it for Arwen. I think you have developed her character so much and in your own original way that she is not a borrowed character any longer.
Now, it looks like everyone's plotting  How to uncover the conspirators and cut their plans; how to keep Tindome's identity secret as much as it is required; how to trick the court and avoid being seen; how to let Tindome and Rumil be together alone for a time... Gosh! LOL! But you had a wonderful idea of bringing such an intrigue to the story, and a very plausible one too. Guess that every court has its conspiracy.
I like your Arwen very much too.
The smut was hotttt! |

OSA didn't send me an e-mail that this review was here - sorry, or I'd have answered sooner!
Thank you for the compliment on how Dawn/Tindómë is now so much my character - I am very fond of her...
She and Rumil really needed a bit of time to themselves after his 'demonstration' to Aragorn of how emotion can be transmitted, or not, even between elves and non-elves! |

Now.... for a proper review...
Two chapters, but so different. Firstly, the new beginnings indeed: Laureanna and Elrohir's baby, Glorfindel and Indil's wedding. All seemed happy, though some shadows still lingered. And now this  Heartbreaking.
What a turning point for everyone, especially for Indil.
I'm dying to see the next part.
Poor Glorfindel...
*sob*
Great story, Al. Thank you, and sorry it took me so long to catch up with the updates. |

| This was very good. Even somebody as wise and ageless as Galadriel could not be sure what to expect in Valinor after all the ages. You have captured the moment very well. Truly touching ficlet, Al. Thank you for sharing. |

I admit that I share Eowyn's regret that Theodred didn't turn the sword edge down. Now, the puppet, errrm the king that is, in drugged haze sent his nephew to the dungeons, but hey we know the story, don't we? I loved how the cook and the rest fooled Grima. There were still decent people in the palace, probably most of them were very devoted to the king and his family. It's just that sometimes Grima and Co. steal the... hmmm... show
Well done! Once again, a very good, captivating beginning. |
