Oh, yes -- I do like this version better! I think rearranging the lines does increase the impact (though I hadn't previously noticed the "flaws" you solved -- but the author always knows best Smile smiley face )

I think mentioning the horse's name first really does sharpen the focus, also.....

I like it, Sulriel!

Oh, this is scary, Sulriel! It seems like they are surrounded by horrors -- so heartwrenching!

I feel so strongly for this horse, and he/she seems real to me.... Very well done!

Hi Thevina!

I truly enjoyed this! Each vignette is compelling, and it's interesting how you tie them together with the senses, not just the shared timeframe...

I especially like all the corners of canon that you have worked into the vignettes, like the horrific destruction at Lórien, the birds communicating with Dale-men and Dwarves, Dernhelm's unwitting revelation...

I only have one tiny quibble, for you to consider or ignore at your pleasure: describing Haldir's eyes as amber jarred me a bit; I got the impression that most elven eyes are gray (or grey in British Laughing smiley face ), so, even if they are not gray, it seems likely to me that they would be standard eye colors (blue, brown, ...) -- and amber seems odd in that context.

Anyway, these vignettes are very well-written, and delightful to read.

Bwahahahahaha! This is even funnier - and more delightfully silly - the second time that I've read it!

I will never again look at quiche quite the same.... or the Valar, for that matter!

Oh, nice twist, Wilwarin! You really had me caught in the wrong assumption, right until the last phrase.... Well done!

Very nice, Nancy! I'm usually not a fan of romance, but this was much more interesting than most courting (or quasi-courting) stories..... not at all the fluff you mentioned in your note.

Both their characters seemed right, given the clues we have from the books. But gah! that Boromir is so darn arrogant! Rolling Eyes smiley face
