Until The Axle Break · Sat Apr 11, 2009 10:44 pm

I ... well, crap. I had a thoughtful review all in my head, something about nice sensory details and pacing or ... whatever. It's moot. Because this isn't erotica: it's tragedy. It's romance on such a deep soulful level that if I were in a fragile moment, I would probably just sit down and cry. I can feel his longing, even after the many years have passed, and I only hope I'd feel the same. This short piece characterizes Thranduil so well, from his song to his mention of their son to the care he takes with her even during the height of passion. Excellent, excellent writing.

This is a point of view you don't see often in fic, but it's totally believable, very much how the Sindar might have reacted to the invaders/brothers. Excellent!

The Last Temptation of Imrahil · Wed Apr 08, 2009 11:09 am

You nailed his voice. And he's such a fascinating character to begin with. Good work, NB. Your attention to word choices shines here (fume, fiefs) and creates a nice cadence. How tempting it must have been for Imrahil to just take over. But he didn't. *sigh* So many heroes, so little time. Wink smiley face

Bwahaha! Leave it to you to write about entsex/insects. Hee!

A Matter of Cultural Differences · Sun Feb 08, 2009 12:09 pm

I think this may be my favorite Erestor story ever. It's so appropriate for him -- for any elf with a healthy cultural curiosity, really. All of the reactions and motivations rang true, especially the Request and his response. I loved watching this story unfold, and I thank you for writing it.

The Scout and the Rider · Fri Feb 06, 2009 2:15 pm

Wow, those verbs are excellent. They really move the action scenes and set the stage at the beginning. I swear it felt muddy and icky here in my kitchen when I was reading. Smile smiley face

Also, Saexbruga! Is she canon or an original? She's mighty! Finally:

"He didn’t need more broken blades! Just one good sword, for the love of Eru, just one!"

bwahahas! Great slinky in-joke there.

Coming Home for Christmas · Mon Feb 02, 2009 2:36 pm

Yep, that just about sums up the fantasy. Smile smiley face

(Right down to the miruvor with little umbrellas in it...)

Sin With A Grin · Fri Jan 23, 2009 11:40 am

"when she performed furnunculus on three guys from Slytherin house' ... Hmm. I didn't think she was that kind of girl. Wink smiley face

Thank you so much. I love it!

LOL. As usual, your dialogue sparkles. This ficlet hovers between canonicity, smut, and full-out funny. It's a nice place for a story to hover. Also, a note to the twins: clothes really aren't necessary, says hobbit lass who peeked whilst they were running through the woods, uh, bare ass nekkid. Said hobbit lass considers that glimpse her very own mid-winter gift.

Peace At Last · Fri Jan 02, 2009 5:05 pm

Is there more to this? This chapter raises so many backstory questions: what was Legolas to Aragorn's daughter? How did she save all those lives? Why was he more attached to this daughter than to all of his other unnamed (in canon) daughters? Argh! I need to know the answers! lol. Hope you will write more of this. The prose is nice, almost lyrical, and I don't see any major grammar problems. The pacing is kind of slow, but that's because nothing really happens in this scene. It'll pick up when you get into a nice action or dialogue stretch. Smile smiley face
