This is an absolute scream! I was dying laughing all the way through it. The language was incredible and you couldn't have picked a better character than Erestor to do this with. Fabulous!

Ooops! Your review made me laugh and I think I hit the wrong button when replying. Sorry - will fix!

It seems you liked Erestor? Smile smiley face

Poor guy thought he could think his way out of every situation. Well... it doesn't always work, does it?

This is fantastic, hilarious, and excellently done! Thank you a lot for sharing Very Happy smiley face

I loved this story.

Oh what fun! And certainly well worth it to be able to stop Elrond mid-stream for millenia after.

I've already told you privately how much I love this, but I have to repeat publicly how absolutely delightful I find it. You're Erestor is wonderfully deeply in character from his ageless innocent to his obsessive quest for knowledge and his unshakable moral high ground .. and yet, in spite of all that he is -- in fact because of it -- he connects with poor, sweet Gwirith in a way that possible no mortal man ever has or ever will. I know you consider this 'light-hearted', and it is, but I love the under-currents and subtext that runs so strongly through it.

Thank you so much, Súlriel! *hugs*

Yes, this little story started out as--and mainly still is--just a bit of fun, but as Erestor showed new sides of himself, it became, perhaps, a little more than that. He turned out to possess the true Elven respect for all living beings, despite his feelings of superiority and his detached--or even cold--demeanour. I like to think Erestor grew as a person from his experience in Minas Tirith.

How lovely that you appreciate this aspect, too. *hugs*

I think this may be my favorite Erestor story ever. It's so appropriate for him -- for any elf with a healthy cultural curiosity, really. All of the reactions and motivations rang true, especially the Request and his response. I loved watching this story unfold, and I thank you for writing it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I did, very much Smile smiley face

And I'm going to put it in my list of recommended fics. It's worth my sincerest rec Very Happy smiley face

Oh! Here it is. I guess I wasn't fast enough this week. LOL! Lissa, this is too funny, and I absolutely love the joke he played on Elrond. I think that must be even more fun for elves, because they have until the breaking of the world to hold stuff like that over each other's heads. LOL! Thanks for a fun story.
