Thanks so much for your reviews!!! Very Happy smiley face

This story has become such a love child for me. From throwing out my first crazy plot bunny to Maram Bunny smiley face

to having it coddled and prodded along by Viv, Maram, and Ghetto. Then having Space, Haleth, and the before mentioned lovies answer tons of questions about everything from the size of an elvish ship to the Glorfindel-authority (Ghetto) educating me about everything that is Glo, I honestly have gotten so much help and support from my friends, it is mind-blowing. I swear if I had asked one of them what color paint they used in Rivendell, one of these ladies would know! So I have mucho gratitude and love to them!!!

A big Big Hug smiley face

to all my buddies and my readers! I am so glad you are enjoying it. And Inglor, if she turns into a MS, I will take her out back and beat her myself! Evil or Very Mad smiley face

RE Ch 3 (the second one after the Prologue)

Again, Wow.

Oh No he didn't go THERE...

You have a real talent for showing very strong emotions, forcing the reader into the heads of the character. Actually felt some of the horror described. I hate your writing, always leaves me in a bad mood and tense, makes me want to go break something. Very Happy smiley face

The confrontations were masterful.

Now I've swallowed the damned hook.

Stupid ass computer Smash smiley face

I tried to type a review a minute ago and it just disappeared. Anyway. This last chapter was so tense I now have a huge knot between my shoulders. I also can't see what the hell I'm typing thanks to the fact that I've been balling my eyes out right along with Laureanna. The emotional situations are so tense. You do an excellent job writing them. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next chapter so I can add an knot in my neck to go with the one between my shoulders. I agree with Inglor. All that tension makes me want to throw things. Great job Wave smiley face

"The peace that he had finally reached was beyond shattered. Sauron had already done his damage to him."

I've just realized it Shocked smiley face

Glorfindel had only a moment of happiness (in comparison to an elven life). The flashback in the beginning of this chapter emphasizes his tragedy. He had lost everything before, now he had to face his daughter's fate. And his own doom would be to remain in sadness (if he survived).
I agree with Inglor and Roxie, you show very strong emotions with a great talent. This chapter mede me need a drink. Elrohir's tale of Middle Earth and what happened to its realms was filled with the pure anger, concern, horror, ovewhelming fear and even a desperate need of revenge.
This is excellent, Al. Thanks for updating so soon. I'll be waiting for another chapter.

This is truly captivating! Can't wait to read more! The characters are well developed and the inner turmoil of everyone is so well depicted. Wow! Please update soon!

I am really enjoying this so far! Every paragraph was constructed with grace and precision and I thank you for it! It broke my heart to read of the Fellowship's fate in the beginning and I adore Glorfindel's and Indis' characters and relationship. I hope you update soon!

That first chapter was scary. That's a story unto itself. I'm so impressed, Alassante! I love what you have up, and I can't wait to read about what happens now. I admit that I'm skeptical about the turn-back-time aspect of the plot, but I think you've handled it logically enough. I get the impression that Iluvatar is going to be handling that, and since he is The One, I guess he can do whatever he likes. Please update soon.

I know I've said this before but this is just fantastic. You are doing a wonderful job of conveying the hardship that everyone is experiencing about Laureanna's decision. Another emotionally intense chapter.... I wish I had time to comment further, but I'm late for my yoga class Shocked smiley face

Again, great job, and update again really reallly really soon

What a day! My favourite stories were updated today and I was busy reading (instead of writing my own story :wink Smile smiley face

.
I'm glad you lightened this chapter a bit, the scene with Elrohir and his mother was brilliant. Though it was still very intense, Laureanna's conversation with Eonwe and then with Galadriel particularly.
Another excellent chapter Al, thank you so much Very Happy smiley face

Sorry it took me so long to leave a review. Surprised smiley face

ops: In Chap 4, I like the contrast between the flashback and the opening of the 'regular' time part of the chapter--seeing the pain caused by learning of the deaths of people who didn't make it to Valinor because of Sauron and seeing the pain caused by worry over Laurëanna's fate since she is going back to try to prevent those deaths. I thought that was well done.

And poor Elrohir--everyone makes it perfectly clear to him that he is being 'horrible.' Celebrian and Indil tickled me in that part, especially everyone's reactions to them.

And I liked the conversation with Galadriel. It really made you feel all the issues. Great chap. I think folks will like the next one too. Wink smiley face

It's fun to know what's coming!
