It seems like there are more questions than answers concerning Laureanna. I think the Valar have underestimated the keen intellect of the Elves. Uh Oh....lol

Ah, so the Valar's perfect plan so as to take the memorioes away from everyone involved (or more likely, replace them) wasn't that perfect at all? It seems that Indil only pointed the obvious to Celeborn and now his eyes opened to see Laureanna's resemblance to her father. Besides, of course, Papa Thrandy was all too clever to let anyone cheat him. But now, as he got suspicious, Laureanna should be careful what to say and when.

Certainly, you don't make things easier for her, do you? Wink smiley face

Oh, and I LOL'ed at Celeborn's almost-slip! Even the wisest... can give a secret away.

Great stuff! Thank you so much for updating Very Happy smiley face

This was pretty dang smooth on the first draft, but it's even more so now. You are so good at polishing! I like Thranduil seeing through the bullshit right away. Take that, interfering Valar! Smile smiley face

And the secret is... revealed. Well, to a few, at least. The question remains, how they are going to cope with the truth what is their future, and what -- their past. Excellent Thranduil as a supporting character, and Radagst to provide a sort of a trigger Wink smiley face Poor Indil though. It seems that each step she takes increases the confusion.

Great blend of tension and emotion, with a drop of humor. Thank you for updating Very Happy smiley face

Paradoxes can be soooooooooooo confusing. But you are keeping all your threads untangled. I am still impressed. I hope it all ends happily.

I read this fic a few months ago, and it has taken me a while to review it... mostly because I am not that great at comprehending time travel conundrums. A few months later, I understand the paradox, and I commend you for originality! You have taken the path of the "what ifs" and developed it in a credible manner.

I liked the Elrohir / Laureanna pairing, although I thought their "mating" happened a bit too quickly once Laureanna enters the ME we all know. I also enjoyed the parallels you kept between the Valinor reality and the ME reality. The relationship that intrigued me most was that of Glorfindel and Indil. I loved how you started the story with them, shifted the focus to the Elrohir / Laureanna story, and then ended with Glorfindel and Indil. Overall, a delightful read that I devoured in a matter of days... but I still feel somewhat guilty that it took me so long to review! Thanks for writing!

I read this amazing story a long time ago, and from time to time I come to see if it is updated. I hope so, because it is one of my favorites.
It is the best "What if" AU I have read.
