Until The Axle Break · Fri Feb 23, 2007 12:18 pm

This was quite wonderful, sweet and sensual, and the tinge of bitterness only made it better. And, having read 'Cophetua' before this fic adds another dimension to Thranduil's dream Smile smiley face

I'm enjoying this story a lot, especially that it's set in the same 'universe' as the earlier ones. My favourite little part was the spider silk discussion Smile smiley face

I know I've read this before somewhere else, but it was surely well worth reading again... you portrait both young Aragorn and Legolas so very well Smile smiley face

Cophetua · Mon Feb 19, 2007 3:45 am

Wow. When I started out reading this story, I at first expected a 'mortal girl seduced by elf-king' (I have a soft spot for those), and was slightly disappointed to hear about the elves' honourable conduct in Esgaroth. Then, I was delighted by the - now unexpected - sex scenes, and further on enjoyed reading about Sigrid's life as Thranduil's concubine, with the joy and sorrow brought by her being in that situation. Never did I expect you to reconcile this with the idea of 'eternal' marriages, and in such an elegant way. Bravo! The last chapter made me cry, of course, but smile, too, and the epilogue was just beautiful. Thank you.

Jael, I'm enjoying this story tremendously, both the things that have happened so far, with the noble Elvenking appearing etc, and how you write it, the language that you use. I'm happy to see that there are many more chapters Smile smiley face

A Tale of the Sixth Age · Sun Nov 13, 2005 1:38 pm

To be honest, I was looking for a different AU story, one that you apparently don't have here anymore. A pity. I found the first chapter and it made me very interested. Oh well. I love your sense of humour and your writing style is spot-on. I've only read chapter 1 so far, but am enjoying the story immensely. The male OC feels 'fresh' and Gandalf is his good old self. BBC made me laugh Smile smiley face

Forever Yours · Wed Jun 29, 2005 6:47 am

Wow! There's really a lot of very dramatic things going on in this story, and it seems to continue, even after the lovers were reunited... poor Haldir and Arien! Illadris' malice goes beyond imagination and I can't say I'm sorry for her demise, even if she is a pitiful creature. I just hope Haldir will be able to free himself entirely from her influence and accusations!
As a fanatic Thranduil-lover, it was of course a delight for me to see him in this story, even as a minor character.
If I may offer one tiny piece of concrit, that would be to be more careful with the use of archaic words - there are several instances with mix-ups of words like "ere" ("err) and "naught" ("nought").

Anna said
> PS. Why does Thranduil speak Quenya and not Sindarin? It is Quenya, right?

Hej Anna! To be honest, the true reason why he speaks Quenya is external: there are too much missing vocab and grammar in Sindarin for me to want to try to write the sentence in that language. But, I justified this to myself with an internal explanation or two: A) Quenya is the language used for ceremony, so it might be the most fitting one for a blesssing. B) He used Quenya to be 'secretive', as there are many speakers of Sindarin in Minas Tirith!

Ooooh! *silly grin moment*

I've had a couple of rough weeks and no fic reading, so it was a delight to find not only two new chapters of this fine tale, but also that those two shy, decripit old people finally found the courage to do something! It's very refreshing with a realistic sex scene between an 'ordinary' man and woman, with their physical flaws, past experiences etc. And I just love how this chapter ties in with one of the most powerful movie moments (not that it wasn't great in the book too, just less spectacular), how you use it as a kind of backdrop, rather than letting it dominate the story. *cantwaitcantwairformoresweetthings*

A True Dwarf · Sat May 15, 2004 1:36 pm

Awwww.... this was so sweet! And you know what, this is actually the only story that showed up when I googled for Gimli/OFC! He does deserve to have a love of his own! The story definitly has a Dwarven feel to it, worthy of a True Dwarf. Well done!
