YAY! It's another story in the Return!verse 
And what a wonderful start you've got here, all those thought-provoking lines that compare Tindome and Eowyn; Eowyn's fears and predicament over aging (hey, those sound very accurate and natural); and in particular: the one about Aragorn and Arwen. Yes, Eowyn might have thought that Faramir envied Aragorn an elven wife, regardless of her final choice.
Great job! I'll be watching this, of course (you won't get rid of me easily  ). |

I am so glad that you are still willing to read more! I'm glad, too, that menopausal Éowyn sounds right to you.
I should be able to post at about a chapter every four days or so as it is all basically written. |

O! It got creepy. Honestly, even though it's still summer here I felt cold.
Well done! |

Awwwww, poor lonely winter elfling  It may be odd, but I thought about Elured and Elurin -- the ghost child kind of fits their terrible story.
Good stuff! Looking forward to the next part  |

| Oddly, I also thought about Elured or Elurin as I wrote - but it does seem, geographically, unlikely. |

So... they Key is the key. After all why not? And now, such a cliffhanger!
Well done! |

I thought, perhaps, it was time to use The Key in a story... :~)
I promise I won't leave you hanging on the cliff for long - I'm away from home for 3 days, but it is almost ready to post when I get home - just needs the HTML brackets doing! |

The story of that poor boy was a trial for both Rumil and Tindome. I'm glad that Legolas proved to be such a good older brother What a terrible fate, though, poor little one
Good work! As always. |

The rest of the story is, as you might have guessed, mainly about how they can rescue the Winter Elfling - none of them want to leave him as he is...
I really rather like Legolas as an adopted elder brother, I must admit! |

Hey, I'm glad that the trio came up with a solution after the brain-storming
Ah, the thought of Haldir as a houseless soul in Helm's Deep -- it's sad to think he might have stayed there. *shiver*
Good stuff! |

I'm pretty sure that Rumil is right, and Haldir answered the call...
They have, at least, the beginnings of a plan; how it goes will become clearer in the next chapter. |

You know what, I had a line about the plan and all that jazz to type here, but what struck me in this chapter was that bit about Legolas, when he mused about the sea. Weirder enough that I'm not a particularly huge fan of Leggy, but that small bit kind of stole the show IMO.
But hey, that's a really good plan! Looking forward to reading more.
Edited because I messed the tenses in my review just like Haldirin did |

I'm glad that you were caught by that tiny aside - I try to keep it there, the sea longing, at the back of him all the time.
Glad you like the plan, too! |

Awwww, the giving of of the name was touching I'm glad to see the plan worked so far.
Great job! |

Thank you - I think it took me a good deal longer to come up with his name than it did them... so I am so happy that you liked that bit.
The next chapter is the last one - I will post it on Friday evening. |

| I'm so glad that you liked the ending. As for more in the Returnverse - there are quite a few scraps written at the moment - I think I should have stuff to post in a month or so, all being well! |
