I like this twist. While the "Saving Haldir" theme is often done, you've brought in the "savior," so to speak, from an unusual history. Also, she has a valid reason to be on the scene, and is not a Mary Sue in any way (that I can see). I really like the way you're bringing this together. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Please post it soon.

I agree, that this story shows promise. Just a couple of things, though. The king of Rohan is spelled Théoden. Also it seems a bit fuzzy to me, how Amaryn can reach Haldir in time from the hallway, seeing that Haldir is at the absolute front of the batlle. Also being a book reader mostly I'm not sure whether Éowyn and Amaryn would know of the ringbearer and his mission. I'm sure people more familiar with the movie could answer that. After those nitpicks I'll just say that it is a well written story and that I look forward to the next chapters.

Wow. I'm intrigued even further. How will Haldir deal with his guilt, how will Amaryn recover, what's going to happen to her arm? Keep posting, please, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.

Ooh, you've done a great job with this chapter. The way you showed Amaryn's pain and depression was delicately done, and the brothers' determination not to let her die or wither into a shadow of herself (any more than she already had) is a wonderful view of compassion at its best. Looking forward eagerly to the next one!

You update this fic quite frequently *hint hint* lol. It's a nice variation from the movieverse on how Haldir is saved or survived the battle. Smile smiley face

Keep up the good work!

I love this chapter. You are doing a most enjoyable job with this story. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Amaryn reacts and adjusts to LothLorien. Please post more soon!

I would like to say that I love this story. I especially like how you have written Amaryn's part. How she is not your typical middle earth beauty queen. It's nice to have an elf fall in love with a woman that may not be all that physically beautiful, but perfect in her own way. Bravo!!! keep up the good work and up date soon!!!

P.S. Ummmm...as an after-thought, if hell freezes over and I meet Haldir and his brothers, it would not be a problem if Rumil couldn't speak westron. All he would have to do for me would be to stand there, I believe I could do the rest. Twisted Evil smiley face Smokin' smiley face

How sad! How sweet! How touching! I rarely find a sad ending that i can read more than once, but you've managed it. I love the way that you have shown tha even as death follows lfe, life also follows death. I look forward to reading more of your stories. Thank you for this one.
