Thanks Frigg. Yes they are so very 'doomed', but I think they really don't mind being doomed as much as they dislike being manipulated into being doomed. And yeah, Gamling will be having the talk with his future monarch come next chapter.

Because he needs it! Twisted Evil smiley face

Luthien: Thanks. This formatting is taking a bit getting used to. I wanted something different, wanted a different thing than, 'well, this isn't going to work,' he thought. I don't know about anyone else, but my mind runs rampant and not in complete sentences. Multitasking is a chore and a half! I thought it would be interesting to get INTO his head and as time goes, hers as well. They are becoming, imo, a rather delightful couple.

Gwynnefar: Gamling isn't dumb, not by a long shot! He's quiet, yes and stands to the back left of the king, yes, but he got in the position he's in by being an intelligent soldier and loyal subject. No ifs ands or buts. So despite the quietness of him, I've garnered a lot from the small, random snippets in the movie of his character. Actions, etc. And yes - he has many layers, as does Aefre. Peeling her like an apple, peeling him like an onion. Some onions are like Valdalia's. Sweeeet sweet things!

Thanks everyone for reading.

Very Happy smiley face

Oh my.

Oh my oh my oh my. Don't toss this one away - I want to see more! Most excellent.

This is a beautiful insight to Haldir and Bronwyn's inner sanctum and an absolutely GORGEOUS rendition of traditional male father/son bonding. Thank you for this. It was - when you did it - and still is, a gift!

Made ya go aw!

I am so very glad you are posting this here. This is such a wonderful work of art and I love your portrayal of Thranduil. (Of course, I've seen more than what's posted so far!)

So when is the next installment???

This was quite funny. I also found it humorous that you apologized for treating canon so irreverently. Sweetie - I treat canon irreverently all the time! It's why it's called fanfiction! Twisted Evil smiley face

Really, this was very amusing and I would love to read whatever adventures 'Fluffy' has when you start drinking again. In fact, let me know - I'll pour! Beer smiley face

Ah yes. Removing the clothing of a well hung man...

okay a REALLY YOUNG man Shocked smiley face

, but getting there. And a well done lesson it is.

Don't mind me. I'm just making my way through all the Rohirrim fic...

Very enjoyable.

I agree here. There is a wonderful accomplishment for a non-English speaker. The premise is intriguing and I want more.

However, I too suggest that you seek out a native English speaking beta. The long, run on sentences and paragraph structure make this difficult to follow.

Thanks Viv. I'm very visual - strange a VISUAL musician... and I try very hard for the reader to very easily feel in the middle of the action. If you felt the passage felt like a horse ride, then I did it right. I try to be very descriptive - it's why you rarely see 'he/she said' in my stuff. What are they doing? Feeling? It is why there is the 'sudden' POV switch, where Gamling is shaking his head. Unbidden thoughts that he has NO idea where they came from and he's literally trying to shake them loose. Honestly, POV switching is something I'm not aware of - I just want to not only have them say/think what needs to be said/thought but I also want to show their physical reaction. To me, it paints a fuller picture. Yes, he has much to learn about a woman's magic, but I think she stands to learn from him as well.

Exactly WHAT? I dunno..... Twisted Evil smiley face

As for the notebooks, it was necessary to keep the monster in line. I wish I had done it from the beginning of TL... I might not be having the problems I"m having with it now if I had.

No, Angelbear - I am not Wiccan, but one of my beta's is. I have great respect for the old ways and I just felt that this was necessary to sweep negative thoughts and memories away. I honestly think Aefre has a lot of dormant magic at her fingertips; as much as Gamling has a lot of horse Sense at his.

If you're interested in my other stuff... start with The Empty Vessel. It's confusing as hell, but you're supposed to be. Everything most people hate - Modern Day Girl, falls into Middle Earth, songfic, confusing plot line, - can all be found there. Everything else for the most part feeds into it. Don't say you weren't warned!

Thanks for taking the time to review.

Thanks Frigg. I'm not saying how good or bad Eomer's and Eowyn's machinations work. As for me writing an Eomer fic... I can't. Nove's is the end all to beat all and I can't even attempt to go and redo that. So I won't. Therefore, Eomer, will continue to be what he is here... The Heir of Rohan with that WICKED sense of humor... and just gorgeous to boot.

(Still prefer Gamling!)

I agree. Elrond. Say it. Elrond. It took me SEVERAL paragraphs - well, up until you mentioned his sons, the twins,.. before I knew who it was. It was a NICE guessing game up to that point!!!!

You know, I love to see Elrond and Celebrian having an enjoyable time! It was finger-lickin' good!

Very Happy smiley face
