| Wonderfully original. Like all of your stories there are turns of phrase that are breathtakingly original. |

Very original idea and thank you for giving some story space to the Blue Wizards - characters we really know nothing about  The descriptive passages are particularly good. I liked the 'languid' and slightly decadent Thranduil 
Can I ask (and this is a 'question', not 'criticism'), is Faron an OC or from the texts somewhere? (Was just wondering  )
Very interesting idea though. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it. |

Spaceweavil!
Very glad to hear from you!
You are actually one of the reasons I pulled the first go at this story ("Old Magick, New Magick" et al) off of Scrolls! I read your review and then re-read the opening paragraph with new eyes...
So I backed off, shook out the cobwebs and went back at it when I felt like having fun. And I am! I thank you for the wake up call! (And thanks, as well, to Havetoist for tolerating my niggling and waffling...)
Agree about the Ithryn Luin and Tolkien's other marginalized or neglected characters, Thranduil among them. I consider these to be Tolkien's gifts to us...although I suspect he might be doing the lambada in his grave over the liberties we take...sub-creator's license notwithstanding!
About Faron - He is an OC. Tolkien's Maiar are so diverse in number, form and function that I couldn't resist playing in that arena. So I created him as a foil (Greek Chorus? Conscience?) for Thranduil in "Thranduil's Bargains." Since "Magic" actually vamps from the end of that story, Faron seemed the logical transitional device to guide my wandering Alatar to Celeborn.
Again, thanks for chiming in. And PLEASE...continue the fable of Fluffy! Ingeniously concocted Tolkien "lite" is my favorite feast! |

I love the way you've written these wonderful characters. Tari is a wonderful character; very witty and charming. Her interaction with Celeborn is fantastic...I'm very interested in seeing how their relationship will progress.
Great story! It has humor, romance, and suspense; all rolled into one great story! Can't wait for more.

Oh, I do love the relationship between Celeborn and Tari. Celeborn tries his best to resist while, Tari, tempts and teases; a fantastic dynamic.
The disclosure about Tari’s knowledge of relationships was rather shocking. Observing her behavior, it was not obvious that she had so little experience. The reasoning for her inexperience was logical, though, and I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her.
Celeborn certainly took the news in stride though. Nice ending to the chapter! It seems that Celeborn and Tari, aren’t the only ones with passion on their minds.
Very nicely done! Great chapter! I can’t wait to read more.

Celeborn's protectiveness of Tari, makes his character even more endearing to me. It's so sweet that he wants to keep her safe.
But Tari! Grrrrrr.......
Why, oh, why is she so hard-headed? Why couldn't she do what he asked her to do? Now look what's happened!
But I do love Tari. She's a fiesty one.
Great Chapter! You left quite a cliffhanger, so you know I can't wait to read more, don't you?

Lovely new chapter!
Gaerlas and Losse are hilarious. Their spatting had me laughing out loud.  Celeborn and Tari seem to be getting along very well since that evening in their flet. And Celeborn doesn't seem to distressed with his current situation. In fact, he seems quite content lying over the back of that beast with Tari.
I can't wait to find out what will happen with this Orc they've found. It is strange that an Orc would actually care for a beast the way that this Orc seems to have done. Very interesting.
Can't wait to find out what will happen. Great job, Ingole!
