Regarding "elf-struck" creatures, I belong to a sub-species of those: First-Age Sindar-Addict Wink smiley face

Jokes aside, this was a very interesting chapter -- to see Tindome mature, though of course she is still young, learn more about the her relatively new home, see differences and similarities between "here and now" and the one she lived in previously. I like the portrayal of her, have always liked since I started reading the series, and how her character develops.

Once again, well done! Very Happy smiley face Thanks for the update.

Thank you. I am enjoying showing how Dawn became Tindómë not just in name, but as a person - from a mid-teen Californian to a young elleth with a husband and child. This trip is turning out to be a really fun way for me to look at the different peoples of ME post-Ring War, too.

Ah, this was a fine lesson at diplomacy (and an elvish one, no less!) -- also it was very interesting to have a glimpse at what a stranger (and Eomer was one in this case, even though he had seen Dawn before) might think about Tindome. I almost forgot that she was not from ME, and with that in mind -- that she should still be cautious.

Very nicely done! Thanks Very Happy smiley face

Thank you. I rather like Éomer - and could see him trying to walk a line between asking outright about her and trying to be diplomatic! I can see the twins, with many years of practice, being more natural at the diplomacy thing.

She is, still, an outsider, with the need to be careful about her actual origins whilst trying to fit in. Lessons are being learned all round - and will continue to be...

I was wondering whether you'd go and write about their night together, and here it is! Dayum! First class smut Very Happy smiley face Thanks!
 
Author's replied on Sat Jun 27, 2009 1:18 pm
Hee - my pleasure. And Tindómë, Rumil and Orophin's too....

Actually - I said when you reviewed the last chapter that there was a lot of Éomer 'in the next chapter' - I had lost track, as you will have realised - there wasn't a lot of him in this one at all. But he does feature a lot in chapter thirteen, honestly!

I liked the talk between the fathers, I liked Istarnie's ally, and I liked all the family dynamics in this. And who was the spirit of fire here? Wink smiley face Nicely done, and I'll keep a lookout for the next installment. Thanks for updating!

Poor child, he'd seen too much and desperately needed a moment of peace and a strong shoulder to support him. All of them needed a moment to take a deeper breath, I suppose. Good that Elladan was there Smile smiley face Good stuff, as always.

Totally digging your portrayal of Eomer Very Happy smiley face He's a charmer, witty, noble, and all kinds of royal. Then, you did a great job of capturing the sorrowful moment of the celebration -- it was very moving (with the songs and the like) and not overdone. I like the humor, and the fondness with which Tindome perceived the Lady Wilflede.

Did I tell you I loved this story? Very Happy smiley face Oh, and Orophin rocks! LOL!

Great stuff!

(Just want to apologize that my previous review was kind of curt. I was -- still am -- not very well, and I thought I'd let you know I read the chapter, but it couldn't write any longer, coherent comment.)

Oh I am so sorry that you've been unwell - I do hope that you are feeling better soon.

I have become rather fond of Orophin myself - as have a couple of my Live Journal friends - and there is quite a lot of him in the next chapter.

Very nice. Touching, funny from time to time, and sensual as well. Still loving this story.

What a heart-breaking chapter! There was something distrubing about the way in which Orophin mourned Haldir and recalled his memories. I thought he would fall apart, he was so vulnerable.

Well done! Smile smiley face

Thank you - yes, Orophin has been under increasing pressure for a while - this was a cathartic point for him. There will be more about him in the next couple of chapters, too.
