I got a message last night to say you had posted another chapter and frantically logged on to indulge myself in a spot of Haldir fantasy!
Wow - excellent as always, it did not dissapoint
Waiting for each new chapter made me think about literature in the past, i.e. Dickens who posted many of his stories in weekly intervals, it certainly makes the reader eager for more!  |

Well written. Big progress on Nerwen and Rumil's relationship, can't wait to see what else will happen between them. Ur supporting characters in the stories really took life on their own and sound real relistic to hav ard. Lurien too, wonder what will he do and what will happen to him.
Elanor and Haldir, the more I read abt their love the more I wanna know what their future will be like.... what will happen later? When are they goin to bond?
Very well written, the plots are really gd. We are all eager to read more. |

This seems to have been a chapter of discoveries and understandings. I really appreciate and love the way that each of these wonderful characters have developed.
The scene where Haldir, in his fitful slumber, dreamt of Elanor leaving him was amazing. I loved the way that tied into Elanor’s previous dream. I also loved it when Elanor finally was able to see Haldir and she actually called him, “my love.” Joy! I couldn’t help but smile when I realized that that was the first time she had actually called him that, out loud. And, Nerwen’s and Rumil’s progress is great – they finally seem to be getting somewhere.
I have to say that after this chapter, I have a deeper understanding of Lurien. He has been a character that I have always liked, but I have never understood, fully, why he hates Haldir so much. After observing the conversation that Haldir had with Elrond, I now understand how Lurien could feel inferior to, and resent, Haldir. Although his reasoning is not right, I do understand his frustration. I feel sorry for Lurien, and I hope that he finds the peace that he seeks.
Another wonderful chapter, ladies! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into this story. It really is a joy to read.

First I must say that I really really really like this story. It has to be one of the most entertaining stories I have ever read.
This is the first Haldir fic I have read. You have made him a very complex and deep in character. It is nice how there are so many different sides to him. And Elanor is wonderful, she makes me smile. She so innocent and cheeky at the same time.
Your characters are great. I admire the way you have given everyone different and believable personalities. It is lovely to read a fic where all the characters are interesting. They really seem like real people. You have really put a lot of effort in to them. And if you have not, I envy your skills. 
The plot is great. An elvish soap opera. The smut is great, it really serves the plot. The tension is delicious, and I love the fact that there are more than one plot lines to follow.
I am so glad that there will be a happy ending. I love happy endings. please update soon. I really want to see what happens next. |

Hey, I got a mention! Wow! I really feel special now . Was very pleased with the progression concerning Rumil and Nerwen, was a clever way to create that dimension of the story and make it accessible at the same time (as well as keeping Rumil nicely in character, I loved the fireman bit! heehee) I do agree that there are soap-opera possibilities to this story, but you write it in a way sensitive enough as to stop it tipping the scale to melodrama.
The added dimension of Elrond's explanation of the indwaedh was fascinating, it's such an interesting concept, creates a new dimension to the depth of the story, AND gives a strong enough founding to base their future on (i.e, that his healing time will give him long enough to adjust and therefore no longer be distracted by the jewel). Overall, beautifully written and cleverly constructed to create a really appealing (and might I add, addictive) romance for Haldir that really puts across a believeable and realistic courtship between him and Elanor.
What I've found in the past is that Haldir's character is so complex and so difficult a one to write about that there are few believeable relationships written between him and original characters out there. That's why I've become so encapsulated about this one and have to see the following chapters, because you write it in such a way that you can't help drawing the reader into the story. |

| As usual this was an excellent chapter. The characters are all very well rounded and believable. You are extremely talented! I'm really happy that Rumil and Nerwen are finally together for good. Maybe there could be a double wedding ceremony for Rumill, Nerwen, Doria, and Orophin? Anyways, I can't wait for the next chapter, I'm sure that it will be great, like this one. Seems like Lurien isn't going to be satisfied until he hurts Haldir and completely alienates both Doria and Tarwe. *Sigh* Oh well, hopefully he'll get a good kick in the butt by the end! |

Yes! A new chapter! Of course, it was definitely worth the wait. I can't wait for Ture to end up happy too. I love happy couples.
Lurien...I hope he doesn't completely alienate his sister and Tarwe, or ruin the relationship between Haldir and Elanor. Are you going to have Elanor's spoiled sister make a return? That would be really interesting...anyway, I can't wait until you update again, but will wait to get a great chapter!  |

This was one of the fiirst stories I ever read on OSA and remains to this day my firm favourite
Looking forward to Haldir's recovery and hopefully some more fiesty scenes ahead!
