This is my favorite chapter yet I think. I love seeing how things are working out between Elrohir and L and I think there is some great dialogue in this. Also, I again love the dream sequence. This is really exciting in ME. Very Happy smiley face

I must admit that when I finished this chapter, I was most disappointed. I was diappointed because the chapter ended. Head bang smiley face

It was so good and sooo engrossing and the brief romantic exchanges between Elrohir and L were so sweet while the way they kept getting to each other was most entertaining. I loved Gimli's comment that it was his job to be rude and abrasive toward her and not Elrohir's. Too funny!

This is such a good story.

Please update soon! Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I don't know why I didn't get a little message thing telling me this chapter was up, but I'm glad I came back to find another chapter was added!

I loved the flashback of Glorfindel beating Rumil and Thranduil, plus I *really* liked wet!nekkid!Glorfindel... *melt* I really loved the fact that Elrohir remembers Laureanna (to an extent), but boy does she have her work cut out for her! OY! It's a wonder she hasn't slapped him yet... Wink smiley face

Out of frustration, of course. And the way my mind works right now, that slap could really heat things up between them. Oh my... Wink smiley face

Either way, I loved this chapter, Al! I can't wait to read yet another chapter.... *begs*

Oh wow... let me gather my thoughts first. What a chapter. I love the insight in Laureanna's childhood, her quick silverness and ability to learn so fast, only to be bribed with feeding ducks: it makes her such a wonderful child. Her teasing of Rúmil is priceless. Ah and once again you show us readers what a beatiful couple Glorfindel and Indil are. Owww and Elrohir and Laureanna.. what a couple, even under these dire circumstances they are so attracted towards each other that it must be so hard for her not to give herself to him completely. The fragment with Celebrimbor is truly scary... knowing what became of him and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain.. a part that chilled me to the bone. You written so many things in this chapter alone, yet it felt like it was too short. What a chapter and well written Thumb smiley face

First I'm going to apologise big style for not rating and reviewing this earlier. Surprised smiley face

ops:

Having just read all 9 chapters so far back to back I can understand why you are so proud of this story Al. The plot bunny behind it is staggering and you've done an amazing job of bringing it to live, particularly in making the characters so easy to care about.

All in all Yey! you can't wait for chapter 10!

Okay, I finally finished catching up on this, thank Emily for that, and instead of chapter by chapter, (I had too many to catch up on, I have no shame), I have alot of general impressions. The main impression, and the thing that I still struggle to comprehend, is this...How on god's green earth does someone go from writing the stuff I used to beta for you, to this absolutely beautiful, well written story in a mere year's time. With the exception of Binka, I have never seen such an amazing transition in such a short period of time. I am amazed, proud as shit, and tickled to death for you and your success with this story. You have come so far, parts of this are sheer genius, other's nothing short of poetic and you actually only change voice when you intended to, lol. I love you so much Shmoo and nothing makes me happier than to see you getting the kudos you deserve for your work. With the exception of "those days", I know you write for the love of the process and there is no one on earth more fun to collab with than you. You have such a well place finger on the pulse of your girl, you make her so un Mary Sue-ish in a very Mary Sue mined territory. You're subtle where you need to be and heavy handed when it is required. You may have lacked the skills for a bit, but you certainly have alway had the talent for this kind of work. Although anyone can learn the mechanics in a years time, you don't grow an imagination like this in any length of time. You are born with it and it is a gift you have been well blessed with. Now, you have an entire weekend without certain people...okay a certain person, monopolizing all of your time, so write a new chapter... Very Happy smiley face

Finally caught up on this as well. For a while I lost interest in this, and now can't wait to see where it goes. At first I thought you put the climax too soon but now I see that there is much more to the story. You have managed to make the story larger than just changing Aragorn's mind. Now I can't wait to see what new crisis emerges from your imagination to make me glad I have this on my watched list. This story is compelling in a way that is unlike any other, I want to see where it goes, what happens with Elrohir. The work is so fluent I feel like I don't need to compliment it.

Please update this! It's a great story and you've done wonders so far. Please continue! Very Happy smiley face

Thank you for updating Wave smiley face

and for the cliff hanger in the end of the chapter Shocked smiley face

I know that you worried about this chapter. I told your this is private, but I want to repeat, that this part turned out to be really outstanding. I not only love that Elladan had his own chapter, playing the main role, but also that he suspected Laureanna hadn't told them all the truth. And of course, the flashback and the dream sequence made chills run down my back.

Thank you Very Happy smiley face

I can't wait to see the next chapter
