*weeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
It was me, uttering a girly squeeeeeeeeeeee when I saw another story in your "The Key" series, hehe. Of course, I read this chapter immediately, and I can say: LOVE it! I had a good laugh at the bath scene -- especially when Dawn was informed she was observed by the elves. She at least did her... let's say: cross-cultural research less openly. Gods! I would probably stare at them with my jaw dropped; she was very subtle.
It's good to see her adapt as well as could be, though I'm sure she would feel homesick from time to time. And what Legolas said: that he knew what it was like to be the only elf among the humans -- I nodded thoughtfully and said, "yeah, Dawn's still a stranger, and in some ways she'll always be."
Oh, and Rumil was hot! 
Thanks a lot for posting! I'll be watching this story.
All the best,
Binka |

I really like the concept of "starlight bathing"....I will try it, as soon as I find a suitable hot spring and a willing elf (well...one can always hope!).
I'm waiting to read more about: bathing, elves, naked elves bathing etc.
Bye

I apologize if my review doesn't seem overly coherent, but as soon as I finished reading I was in dire need of cold shower (or at least of a bucket of icy-cold water all over my head) and I'm still rather dazed from the reading experience. I had all sorts of 'dayum, hotttttt' expressions cross my mind, but well, hardly my fault .
This was very sensual, classy and erotic to bits (I'm inclined toward the opinion that a bathing and wet elf is better than just an elf, LOL). A romantic in me sighed happily when Rumil apologized for his behavior back in Minas Tirith. All in all, a most enjoyable read, and I'll be here to review when the third chapter is posted.
Thank you! |

Thank you - I am glad that you are enjoying it...!
There wasn't really room in the original to put these scenes in, they would have upset the pacing, although they were there, in outline, in my head. So I really enjoyed trying to make a coherent picture of this for others to share.
I am glad that you found the apology right - it just sort of wrote itself once I got to 'this is not the first time that I have taken you out of this dress'.
You may need another cold shower after chapter 3, which I will post this evening, my time. |

Ha! You were so right about the chapter! And now I wish you could see my grin, LOL.
This was a most entertaining story. I'm very glad to have read it and I'm quite sure I will return to it from time to time. Off now, time for the aforementioned shower 
Thanks a lot! |

Wow! Awesome story. Funny and hot and ... kind of cute. Liked it a lot. Loved all Dawn's quirky little thoughts along the way; one would wonder about all these things. lol
I very seldom read 'girl falls into M-E' stories, but I am so glad I did this time.  |

Thank you. I am with you on not often reading 'girl falls into Middle Earth' stories - so when I started Return of The Key (the first, and longest story in the series) I challenged myself to go against as many of the usual Clichés as possible! So - Dawn does not have a nice soft landing, she does not join The Fellowship, or get involved in any way with the War of the Ring, she doesn't discover that everyone speaks English, nor does she fall in love with Legolas!
I found that I really enjoyed writing it whilst steering clear of the clichés and so I am very that glad that it works for you. |

| Very enjoyable! I normally don't go for Buffy/LotR crossovers, but I really have liked yours. |

| Thank you - some of them annoy me, too - probably why I decided to have a go myself! I am so glad that my stories work for you. |

| oh this is fabulous! Starlight bathing- a lovely romantic distinction. I loved the bit where Rumil is totally vulnerable and aplogises - how romantic and right! And whe he says- this is not hte first time Ihave taken you out of your dress(probably not exact quote) - ooh, very sensuous and with that titilating edgeI realise I am reading this all in the wrong order but who cares- so enjoyable! |
