Lovely. I love Laeriel's comparison of her husband as a sand-flea!

I have just been talking with someone about giving Legolas the happiness of a wife and family in the west... I must point her at this.

What a lovely conclusion to a wonderful story of adventure and romance, I have really enjoyed the entire tale.

How lovely to find this over my lunch, having read the rest some months ago - quite a long time after it was written. If this is the last of it, it will still suffice. If there should ever be more, it would be welcomed by this reader, at least.

Oh - a rather bitter-sweet chapter, this one, with mysteries, still.

I worry about that arm...

There are a lot of mysteries but mysteries make life interesting.

Thank-you for reviewing, Curiouswombat.

This is not a terribly well thought out and coherent review, I fear... but Hurrah for Inglor! I can just visualise it all as you wrote it.

Actually, Hurrah for Haleth-the-author, too.

If you could picture it as you read it, it must work. It's probalby the most important thing for an author to know about an action scene.

Thank-you for reviewing, Curious Wombat.

Always a pleasure to be notified of a new chapter.

Sad to know, even though we did already (if you see what I mean) that although both are successful as suitors, both will become widowers all too young.

Well, they had a reasonable time. But I do find them someone else each in Tide!
Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

A very true look at battle, I think. And, even though the others boast, in reality they would have been as shaken if they were thinking at all. if not straight away, then when the adrenaline rush passed.

Well written.

What a lovely chapter - although I may never quite think of Boromir in quite the same way again...

Things do look a little rosier for Imrahil now that he has a stout ally in the form of Lady Cuthwith, and, hopefully, Sergion has received a friendly welcome, too.

All our heroes were mucky children once! And I did think Imrahil needed a little help. LBJ

This story simply cropped up as 'story of the Day' - I would probably not have read it otherwise, as the stories of the sons of Feanor are too sad.

But I have read from beginning to end, and wanted to cry, and enjoyed this story a great deal, thank you.

sincere apologies for not responding sooner, I just now saw this review (although I'm set up to get notice of them...?).

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I cherish every review, but these that come through on older stories are especially rewarding as it makes me feel the story is standing the test of time. I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

I am lost for words. Even after reading the chapter twice I am lost for words. I want to hug everyone of that so real family, especially Gelvar, I want to hug the oh so voluble Llily (whose panicked speech is just perfect) - and now, like Morwen, I wait...

Thank you so much for this wonderful story.

You're quite welcome. The panic and nervousness of walking into a room full of someone else's family, I think, is a fairly universal experience that I knew from very near the beginning I would write into this story one day. Gamling's unwieldy, amazing family is based somewhat on my own. I've pulled traits from some of my 16 uncles as I write, though not all of them will have the sweetness of Gagan, or Gevald's sense of humor (every barrel of apples has a few bad spots). I think it's also not uncommon for one to simply focus on the immediate task before him or her to see a way through horrible stress and fear. I know it was the only way I managed the funeral of my favorite uncle, who will be the basis of Gareth son of Gareth, the youngest of the 8 brothers.

So glad you've enjoyed it; this was not an easy chapter to write.
