Forever Yours · Thu Apr 14, 2005 7:54 pm

Charming beginning! Arien is precious, and I really enjoyed those peeks into her relationships with Thranduil and Legolas. It feels so happy in Mirkwood (lots of elflings, Arien bounding through the forest) ... I can only assume that this is a long time before the dark years. I almost don't want to see what the creeping shadow does to this bright little girl. But that, I suspect, is the story. Smile smiley face

"More happened here than you could know, Merry" ... I've only read the first chapter, but this line sets up a mystery and certainly makes me want to read on. What exactly did happen while the boys were off drinking ent draught and playing hero?

I love the sing-song fairytale cadence of this story. It feels like it should be read aloud. Smile smiley face

Part of that is the presentation of basic information (like, the fact that palace in Edoras is called "Meduseld") in a kind of pedantic way, which is typical in children's books. Is that what you were going for? At first I was a little put off by it, but then I started to see it as kind of cute (Lemony Snicket does this very tongue-in-cheekily in his Series of Unfortunate Events books, and I love it as a humour style).

Nerdanel! Classic! She isn't given much of a voice in fic, but that your interpretation is so endearing. I can so believe it. She's so uninhibited ... no wonder those two has so many kiddos.

I didn't know this was here! And poof, there it appears as the story of the day, and I haven't even reviewed it! Well, you know how much I like this thing, so I'll just chime in with my compliments here. Great stuff.

Am so deep in fangirlish wonder right now. First, you gave a voice to Celebrimbor. Oh, thank you. He is such a neglected character. And *what* a voice. His longing was a live thing, just short of pitiable. This is *exactly* as I've always seen him, so talented and skillful with his hands, but so raw with his heart. It's excruciating to know the events that brace this moment, to know what he endured and that, despite her disregard of him, he did give her the greatest work of his forge, the purest gift if his talent. I can't believe I'm this emotional about a smut piece, but this one was *so* ... no words.

“Well?” said the Witch King, hovering (literally) by the door.

Bwahaha. Just ... bwahaha. I love this whole scene: the invisibility schtick, the “can we keep him” childlike pleading, the entrails ... well, all of it. This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in fandom.

Hot, sweet ... a totally believable moment. You even snuck some characterisation in there! Impressive.

The title says it all ... and the drabble delivers. Your word choices were so precise, so in tune with the natural harmony you were trying to concoct. A moment that we've all read a thousand times (or maybe only I read that much smut. Hmmm) suddenly became lush and green and living. Good use of imagery, even with the space limitations of drabbles. Hope you write more of these gems!

Holy wow! A drabble with a plot twist! I think I just passed out. Wink smiley face

Hot and tricksy both.
