Oh wow  I had not expected a story with two OC's as the leads to be this interesting. The plot is wonderful and captivating and the relationship of Inglor and Haleth even better. I like how you put the clues and little information at a time about their pasts. I'd love to read more about those two even if you don't intend to put them together in the end.
You are a very talented writer.  |

What a lovely story!  I would have never thought that a story about Elrond and Celebrian would be this good. I'm not a great fan of them, but you present them so well that i can't help but keep reading the story. Elrond is exactly how i would imagine him in his earlier years (before Celebrian's departure). Celebrian is a very interesting and well defined character, very likable. It's nice to see this aspect of Elrond's life- falling in love, curtship, first years of marriage...etc. Their love shown by those little moments, gestures, small smiles is very sweet. I've actually started to like Elrond much better after reading this (as opposed to all the stories in which Elrond is just a stern and almost unapprochable ruler of Imladris, seen only as a backgound for other characters).
Please update! |

Absolutely wonderful! I've never been much interested in Celeborn and Galadriel thinking them a bit ..hmm ... boring somehow. but I sure was wrong. You write them very well and they're very interesting. Great picture of Doriath and the differences between the Dark and Light Elves. You paint the characters very well; they're deep and complex. Luthien is great, Melian splendid and Elu, Celeborn and Galadriel very likeable I haven't expected them to be so. Nice surprise. Good to see Celeborn with some power, dignity and wisdom not diminished by Galadriel's presence, like many see him. (He's not just her husband!) His subtle power, ability to rule people is very nicely described
I might actually start to remember which Elf with a name starting on F is which thanks to this story.  
Great to see such moments as the first rising of the sun described in such detail as well as the moment when the Noldor were confronted about the kinslaying. Nice to see that Luthien has some character. Nerwen is sometimes annoying with her pride (like her brothers) but it only makes her more likeable, more 'real'. It's nice to see her slowly change. Bravo Celeborn! 
I'm surprised there aren't more reviews.   |

What an imagination you have! Great story, a bit depressing -the way things changed, decayed. Very well painted characters. I loved the reason why Arriel is called Evenstar. She's an interesting character. Alderman's interactions with Fraegi are splendid too. Loved the part with Gandalf's elderly's railcard. The idea of making a TV series to fight Sauron was very unexpected but brilliant  |

An interesting story. I like seeing LOTR action from a different perspective, however with OFC there is always the problem of trying to not make them too strong, too heroic, too beautiful etc.
The name Eored buggs me. I don't think that a Rohirrim mother would name her son Eored. Check The Encyclopedia of Arda http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/ : "An éored was the main military division of the Rohirrim, normally consisting of one hundred and twenty Riders. "

Oh I love your Eomer
["She isn't capable of defending hers-... OW!" The Marshal recoiled away from her, holding his arm, where his sister had punched him hard. "You are so mean to me. Uncle!" he whined peevishly to Théoden, "she *hit* me! She is always mean to me! Will you beat her?"
"No." Théoden's upper lip had started to twitch.
"Can I beat her?"
"You?" Eowyn screeched. "Beat me? Why I'll knock you senseless, not that that would be difficult!"
"I can still dunk you into the horse trough!"
"No, you can't!"
"Yes," Éomer reiterated and he stood as if to further his point, "I can!" He glanced quickly at Théoden. "I can, can't I?"]
Oh, so funny. The Rohirrim, especially Eomer and Gamling are very charming.
Gamling, now that's a "virgin" teritory for a fic It's great to see such a wonderful story about the Rohirrim, with their way of living and thinking different from that of Gondorians and Elves, but not worse,  much more informal, where the royal family banters and tries matchmaking those around them 
oh and very nice ending of the chapter 6. that was unexpected: [I want... I want... what I want is..."
"Yes?"
She was squinting over the horizon. "What I want to know is, where are our horses?"]
You make me laugh a lot reading this story : [Éomer fled the barn, laughing like a loon, while Gamling was left behind, banging his head against the wall.] Thank you very much, i needed a good laugh lately. |

Wonderful idea for a fic The pace of the story is great and Olorin's thoughts very Maia-like. Lovely way of describing his feelings and his lack of concern about time passing by.
Gandalf needs some loving too |

Beautiful story.  Very touching and very 'real' - with little words you manage to show the fall of Gondolin and the emotions of people that struggled through it so well. And Glorfindel is absolutely great.
Made me cry  Poor poor Glorfindel. |

Great story! For me that was a perfect picture of Glorfindel. I loved the interaction between Sam and my favorite golden-haired elf It fits so well with canon. Glorfindel is exactly the way i imagine him, too. Lovely! Are you, by any chance, writing some more stories about the Balrog slayer??  |
