| It's been a while since I read your story last, but after those two additions I didn't feel as if any time had passed, really. You have this amazing ability to pull the reader into the story immediately, with a few words. It was interesting to read about Gamling's visit. The other chapter was pretty heart-breaking. Great stuff as ever. Thank you for updating! |

I think Legolas has every right to feel not-quite-at-home in Valinor. After all, the sea longing is one thing, but getting settled in an unfamilar land is another. Besides, Valinor may just seem a bunch of myths, legends never verified, so yeah, he shouldn't really feel guilty, even though the hobbits already think it home there. As ever, Gimli has some great lines
Tindome is right, they should look around for trees, so that they could forget about their problems, with homes and mothers-in-law 
Good stuff! Thank you for updating |

Thank you. Of course the hobbits, especially Frodo as he pointed out, have been there for a while - and, in effect, live life in a different time-frame; but Legolas has all sorts of guilt going on - he's left his father and brother behind, he's taken Gimli away from his caves, he's got elves who chose to accompany him and leave their families behind in the same way... and then there is still Ithilienne...
So now he has the worry about whether he should set off with his people to look for a new home, without even knowing what land might or might not belong to someone else, or stay near the hobbits until they die - and where would Gimli feel best, and... so on and so on! |

| There's sadness in this chapter, perhaps it has a lot to do with being an immigrant in a unknown country (even if the people aren't really new); maybe it's because the mortals around and the ones left behind. It's another great installment of your saga Thank you for sharing. |

Thank you. I'm glad that you felt that sadness - I didn't want it to be all sweetness and easy living. There are going to have to be adjustments made all round. In some ways Tindómë is best suited to it all - not only has she made such adjustments herself, already, but she thinks of them as being a bit like the European settlers in America.
There were often, as I'm sure you know too, people who left homes in Europe to sail to the New World to meet up with family members they might never have met before... and this is part of who she once thought she was. |

This was delightful! It looks like the "holidays" spent among the elves turned very beneficial to Eowyn, even if some of the aspects certainly embarrassed her I loved how this story, among other things, subtly pokes fun at some of the concepts in the LaCE, which must have mirrored Tolkien's own opinions and rather orthodox viewings. Despite her previous beliefs, Eowyn proved to be open-minded to learn a lot and then let herself be surprised by her husband in the department of "starlight bathing"  Very, very nice. Well thought out and written. Thank you! |

| Thank you - she really had got some slightly odd ideas at the end of Brotherhood - I'm glad that I found time to go back to this point, and that you enjoyed it. I plead guilty to poking gentle fun at LaCE! |

Great job, Tinu! They might just think it all over again, and I certainly hope they do, with a positive result. Being the Key means as well Tindome's exceptional talent in persuading. With the help of the cake and wine
Good stuff! |

| The more I looked at it, the more there seemed to be very good reasons for them to go... and she can be very persuasive, especially when bearing cake! |

Probably the first time ever that an elf, asked a personal question, had given a straight answer – but in this case a bit of elaboration might have helped.
Ah those pesky elves, you'll never know with them.
Lovely stuff! |

They just do it to annoy....
On a side-note, I am going to go back to put a footnote on the chapter 'Strangers in Time and Place' to link to a scene which answers the question of 'What did Galanthir do to keep Legolas from melancholy?' I can't post the scene here as there is mention of possible m/m contact in it. |

This new chapter got me teary. But, it's nice to know there's someone Legolas has been waiting for.
Very well done. Thanks for the update! |

| There is, indeed, someone - but they might take a while to reach a proper understanding... |
