an honest to goodness song fic. and not only an honest to goodness songfic but a superbly done honest to goodness songfic. every lyric perfectly placed. every line suited to what followed. not too much to kill you with. sheer perfection. how nice to get inside haldirs head for a change and see how he feels. how their relationship developled for him. made me cry happy tears. in my worthless opinion you should do this for a living.

Zee - you've done it again! Pairing one of my favorite songs in the universe with a narrative that really drives it along! Supurb. I love hearing Haldir's musings about this crazy, wonderful, unfolding journey he has w/Bronwyn - and what's touching is his willingness to change butting against his stubborness - a great conflict to be dealt with in any relationshipl You have created a great duo - so well matched and interesting. Keep going~!

Isn't that neat? For several weeks the feedback I had been getting was "Goooo Bronny! Alright Bronny! Bronny this...Bronny that." For the longest time, I have been afraid Bronny is upstaging our hero and she has become the powerful one.
This is not the case. There is so much more to their relationship and the bottom line was she didn't choose to take on the responsibility for the Valar or for the future - she took it on because she loved him,. Even tho at the time, she didn't know how he felt about her - or even was sure of her own feelings - she definitely wanted to explore them, And when it is over, she will follow him again, They are helping the other fulfill each other's destiny. They are filling the other. Very deep and very complex and I was afraid people were missing it. She isn't all powerful and she isn't bigger or badder the he. They are 2 equal partners with different abilities that work together. This particular vignette will fit in well with the 20th chapter. Their relationship is more than just sex and it is more than him following her around on tour. There is a definite partnership there. And the depth and the intensify of that partnership is going to be rung through the fire and pulled in many direction when the sequel comes around.

Thank you for reading.

Found this in the featured box. Wow, this is powerful. Of what you have written thus far that I have read, I think this strikes me as best. The depth and emotion belies the second part of the title.

I do know that you use quite a few modernisms in your writing, but I still find it disconcerting. There were also a few repetitions. Otherwise, I really love this; the humbling of the proud brought down by love is such a touching subject.

Thank you for sharing.
