Grima creeps me out. You make him sound like a normal rationaly man and in a way that makes what e does worse... you know I could understahnd it if he was a complete loony but instead he's all calm and sensible and at the same time stalkery (I don't know if that's a word, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not.).

You've really managed to capture the essence of the guy as I saw him in my head when I read the books so I'm pretty impressed.

Creepy, creepy little story. Very well written. My first thought was that thank goodness his little plan did not work out.

I have always disliked Grima (well who has not?). And more importantly I have always hated old pervy men lusting after young maidens. After reading this I dislike them even more. Sexual motives have driven people into scary deeds, and this is a perfect example of it. I think it is scary how natural and right the little plan seemed in his head. Well it is logical and natural if you throw morals out of te window.

Very interesting drabble.

Perfect portrait of an awful, pale, crooked guy with sticky fingers. It made me think: "Get away from her, you ...".

Excellent drabble.

Very creepy ... just right. I particularly liked "cold as heartland rain" and that he only dreams of her thighs embracing him, hot her arms, her hands etc. Very stalker-y.

excellent drabble, think you have hit it on the nail - Grima the 'tragic' character; pathetic, hiding in the shadows, waiting for his moment, drooling - ughhhh. Evil or Very Mad smiley face

This is a gem Space Very Happy smiley face

I love how you can bring out the sickest side of Grima. Very well done with wonderful use of language as always. It makes me long for your Grima fic. I enjoyed what you did with that.

Oh, wow, Spaceweavil, this is so chilling! And not just because of "cold as heathland rain" (poignant image!).

We know so little about Gríma... but I think you've captured the creepy aspect of his personality beautifully in so few words. Nice work!

Ooo. You really have a sick Grima here. Yuck! Well done!

I love this frenzied rationalization, the overtone of the voyeur, the sadness of longing without frail hope. Almost makes me feel for the poor bugger. Fantastic insight and writing, as usual, Space.
