What a lovely poem! Granted, I'm no expert, but that one certainly seemed elvish to me, something an elf might have popped off extemporaneously (they're like that, elves Wink smiley face

). At any rate, the tone was lovely, and the images solid. Kudos!

This is just gorgeous writing. Your point-of-view character has a voice that's so smooth, so evocative, I just fell right into the rhythm. He's a storyteller through and through. And since you created him, I guess that makes you goddess of storytellers.

Well, hello. How have I never reviewed this fic?? I know I've read it before. First, just right off: the *idea* of Boromir/Aragorn at the same time makes me lightheaded. I swear I'm about to pass out just thinking about it. But, um, your story here is somewhat more than thinking. It's full-on exquisitely rendered full-color vision. Just reading it is exhausting, but in a good way. I bow to your excellent smutstressness.

Look, I'll call it highbrow deepy-angsty literature if it'll tingle your muse, but really I just want to read Glorfy nekkid. Smile smiley face

It is kind of vague, ain't it? Fact is, I don't know kids that well, so I honestly don't know the age. My hubby used to coach football for 9-year-olds, and some of those kids could probably have grasped this kind of concept. Not all... some just wanted to run around a lot and sniff flowers. So I guess 9 or 10? Would that make sense? What would I have to do to make that age more consistent in the story?

Thanks you guys for feeding back!

I'm fairly confused. Could you include a note at the beginning saying exactly what AU premise the story is based on? Every time I thought I had it figured out, there'd be a line and I would realize I must've missed something crucial. I don't mind AUs, but my brain is bubbly sometimes, and I really need to know what's bein AU'd in advance. Sorry for being so fluff-headed!

This was lovely... I absolutely felt a part of the river, beguiled by Tom. And the details -- his beard and yellow boots, her feet aching on land -- were fantastic. I'll grant you I haven't read much poetry in this fandom, but this may be the best I've read so far. Thanks for posting! More?

"To one accustomed to the lengthy and cerebral rituals of elven courtship, the eager and passionate advances of a mortal can be irresistible... So had it proven to be for Orophin of the Golden Wood." -- Poetic, wrenching, gorgeously high-styled and elven in tone.

There's so much good to say about this piece in general, but I want to applaud you for something in particular as well: a really strong beginning. Most fic writers drop the ball when it comes to the first words and sentences of a fic. You haven't. This piece is chock full of good writing. And (omg) you know how to use semicolons. I am so fangirling you.

I love that scene in the book, and your retelling adds so much. Very nice work; thank you for letting me peek.
