A sweet and charming story. I'm curious about two things, though. I assume Celeborn considered Estel's grandfather as his daughter is Elrond's wife, even though Celebrian likely shipped out well before Estel came to Rivendell ... is the 'adoption' of Estel actually canon? wouldn't he then be marrying his adopted sister?
I am also writing a story about another grandfather/grandson pair: where did the words in the title come from and what language are they? |

| Wonderful. You combine words wonderfully and with a fresh ear, and see clearly into Eowyn's heart. One small nit - a child born in a marraige only two years old would barely be learning letters let alone to read. The only note that rang falsely for me. |

| Ba ha ha! very enjoyable - liked your 'false' beginning, like that Penny has no clue where she is, and that you pick a secondary character for her to meet. It's definately an anti-Sue. I'll look forward to more. |

| Very good. I love a story with fresh perspective and this certainly has that as you explore a relationship between Gandalf's and Sauron, and what effect his years ("walking"!) among the peoples of ME would have on him and his purpose. I thought, perhaps, it might be shortened and tightened up a bit, though. Still, greatly admired the depth and angle of your vision. |

| Excellent. I thought you captured Faramir and Eowyn well, but Arwen particularly. It is so tempting to see only happiness at the end of Tolkien's work. You have plausibly found lingering conflict and made a convincing and moving story from it to craft your own happy ending. Well done. |

| A wonderful idea - simple yet rich. I found the first verse a little troublesome, however, with its overly familiar "all thing's bright ... " couplet and rhyme scheme different from the other verses. |

| Lovely; so sweet and yet brave and determined. I particularly liked "gave ... his name" and that the refrain is in a shorter pattern than the verses. (There's a typo, though - 'brough' for 'brought' 3rd line 4th stanza.) |

| Excellent tale. I love these stories that make something small and familiar into something large and new. They are often most illuminating and this no exceptin. I think you caught the rhythm and texture of the hobbits' speach very well. Not a false note. |

Very interesting! I think I detected a note of bitterness in Finduilas's voice, which would not be at all inappropriate, but is usually absent from portrayals of her. And I felt she gave Faramir a little guilt along with her support, longing and love. A few pennies in the therapy jar for the youngster, I'd imagine.
Yes, a follow-up from Faramir's point of view, and dealing with the fate of the letter itself would be very interesting, but I don't do follow-ups to my peices either, so ... |
