Very well-written...I like the way you poetically express Olorin's feelings. I'm putting this story on my watch list. Update soon!

GIMME A FLIPPIN' BREAK SPACEUMS! I have more stories killing me with your name on them. I don't know if it's my mood (not PMSing, swear) But dammit, each and every one just gets better. This is awesome characterization girl. I bow to you. I sound like a kiss ass don't I? But I swear to Bema this is the best thing I ever read from you. Well, tie with Witch King. I now have FOUR, count em pinche, FOUR stories on my watch list with your name on them. This is so good, I can't wait. You know, that makes a fallen Maia, a Dwarf and a freakin' Istar on my, 'wanna see him with no pants,' list. No NC17, guess that's not happenin' here. Huh? Very well done my friend. Bow smiley face

Breaking my 1 story 1 review rule here. I am highly inclined to agree with ghetto. I'm beginning to be highly suspicious of you, Space. You're purposely making us Bounce smiley face

impatiently for you to update.

Digging the flash backs. This really is good SW.

I'm hooked (dammit). Wonderful pace, very Olorin-like. Wonderful descriptions, Finwe, Nienna etc.. Bleh... wonderful

Wow. I didn't think I could buy a Gandalf romance but I gave the story a try since it was you who wrote it. I should have known. Great start. I really like this. I especially like the way you set it up with Elrond. This line really broke my heart:

“Ah,” said Gandalf. “Still, those memories often resurface when they are least expected. Often all it takes is a sound that mimics her laughter or a scent like hers upon the wind, and all at once you realise with a cold and utter certainty that she is not there, when all you desire is to hold her.”

I'll be watching this one.

Weavil:

With so much Third Age information we have, it is hard to imagine anything taking place in the First Age. Bravo for tackling the challenge. I love you interweaving the Valar into the story. (I am a Silm fan! Wink smiley face

)

I LOVE your command of language! You really use words that draw the mind's eye...

This challenge is so unique that I am looking forward to its progress and conclusion. Olorin/Mithrandir....so rarely a topic of love stories. Most fic is Legomances and Haldimance, to which I plead guilty... Laughing smiley face

Looking for more!

This is officially my first review. Although I have been reading in OSA for a while now, since I don't really have any stories of my own, I usually just skip the review part. But this one has me hooked. LOVE it! It's different...which is exactly what I was looking for when I stumbled across it. Please update soon!
Waiting with bated breath...

Again you aim high and score!!! Dead center of the target: characterization, suspense, emotions and musings, plot and plausability, the list goes on! I will be watching this one - a magnificent start. I really appreciate the way the story starts with something most everyone can readily identify with and then you draw them in and invite them to go exploring the lesser known realm of Tolkein as you weave the story! Brava!!!

Wonderful idea for a fic Smile smiley face

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 Very Happy smiley face

Oh, lovely! I certainly am looking forward to the rest of this, my dear! I wasn’t sure how you would work your way into the tale, but having Gandalf recollect his love in Elrond’s company is a very neat way to do it. I rather like that Elrond is still curious enough to want to know more about this trusted yet mysterious friend, particularly something so personalizing as a lost love.
I can't wait to see the rest!
