Now, how about Feanor vs Gollum? There's a set of folks for Survivor!

I really liked this story. This one worked beautifully.

Thanks for all the nice compliments! There is more ready to go--I just need to get it back from my poor, oppressed beta!

Nice, lyrical, well-paced & well-handled. It's quite good.

I hate trying to format poems sometimes. Evil or Very Mad smiley face

Well, we finally gets out, do we? And we sees that evil filthy hobbitseshave said nasty things about us. All we wants to do is read more, Precious! Why do they never write more about us? And why are they never as good as this? Why do they always take the filthy tricksy hobbitses side? We needs more like this, my love, we do.

I've always liked this piece--it's beautiful, exquisitely done, and overall superb.

Rumplestiltskin meets Feanor---hmmm. I think I'd bet on Feanor.

This is a wonderful retelling of that classic. The only flaw is the formatting--it makes the whole thing into a wall of white words. But the story itself is beautifully realized. This one is a keeper.

I loved the poetic imagery (the rain stopping, the eroticism) and the carefully thought-out problems of dealing with elves. Elrohir's sensuality is wonderfully realized.

First, thanks for the reviews & encouragement. Ariashal has been driving me furiously, and I have to watch it before I reinjure my poor shoulder!

Oh, yes, Ferion's puppet is indeed Dunedain, as are both Ferion and Ariashal. Dunedain are quite capable of being miserable SOBs--just look at the history of Gondor, and the endless civil wars of Arnor.

You don't need the lyrics--it works beautifully without them. And you are right--this is a real tearjerker. Smile smiley face

The parallel between the brothers is well-handled. (the lit-Crit term is doubling).

Boromir, naturally, is more physical, Faramir more intellectual.

If there is a flaw, it is that this is too short--it could easily go on longer, alternating between the battle sites.
