Hehehe That's just all kinds of adorable (you know, in a surly, standoffish way Wink smiley face

i.e. how I like my adorable).

I probably should already have given this a good solid review in public, rather than just my mildly intoxicated gushing after the first time I read it. Wink smiley face

I've thought about it a lot, but I never could pin down just who would be able to drag Maedhros out of his post-Thangorodrim funk most effectively. Why I never considered Celebrimbor, I don't know, but having read your depiction of this scene I can definitely see him being the one person sufficiently tough and also emotionally sensitive enough to do the job. Plus add in the sword and, well, how could any good warrior resist?

I love it! Thank you again!

Hehehe Very cute.

Who The Sword Devours · Sat Jun 02, 2007 2:03 pm

I can't say enough good things about this story (though I delayed reviewing a bit by temporarily and unrelatedly disappearing off the face of the planet Razz smiley face

). It's often quite a tall order to stay within the bounds of canon and still create an engaging narrative for people who might not be as concerned with or knowledgeable about the technicalities of Middle Earth, but I don't see how anyone could manage a complaint about how this tale is balanced. And flattering or not (and for the recored I think it's very sympathetic - the best characters are the ones with doubts and flaws along with their virtues), the portrayal of Boromir here is one of the best and most richly detailed to be found, at least anywhere I've looked. (And did I mention sexy as all hell? Because YEOOWW! When I was reading the pages I printed out to read on the go, I had to fan myself with them.) Beautiful work, and well worth the anticipation!

I love this beginning for how you manage to create such a richly detailed world while simultaneously giving us a clear and complex view of Boromir's thoughts. (I can't even balance my own world with my own thoughts most of the time. Wink smiley face

) I tend to have a hard time working out the mechanics of the "show, don't tell" maxim of writing, but if I were to give an example of how to do it right, this would be it.

And what a heartbreaking ending! Their affair ended how it had to, instead of lasting like they - and I - wanted it to, which made it all the more poignant. Wonderfully done.

Hehehe That's adorable. Somehow I always thought of Thranduil as the mischievous type, and I have the perfect mental picture of Galadriel's face when she heard him. I rather like his idea of diplomatic relations. Wink smiley face

Bells Are Ringing (For me and my Mal) · Thu Apr 26, 2007 5:41 pm

Do I really get to be the first one to say it? Do I?

Shiny. Wink smiley face

I heard Mal's voice in my head while I was reading this, which as far as I'm concerned proves that you captured him just right. And the way the events and moments described fluttered by made them seem like memories, specifically his memories, which really helped to put me in the right flashback mindset for this kind of story. Very nice.

The premise was just so unusual I had to read it, and I'm glad I did. This is a superbly constructed romantic tale, regardless of who and what the characters are, but with that factored in it becomes doubly impressive. To be honest, at one time I would have thought that the words "Uruk-hai" and "sex" would best stay as far away from each other, but you've changed my mind. You allow the reader to see Ulfakh as the complex and fascinating person Lynneth knows him to be. Very nice! Smile smiley face
