OH, goody! You know the funniest thing is that I thought Haldir was SOOOO faggy in the film, but he is mega-studley in these stories - guess that's what happens when the muse comes to you! Seriously, I loved the last chap - the battle w/spiders and dragons, and as I said above, the heroic acceptance of her gift. And, like I said on the other post, I'm on the same musical wavelength as you - I'm an amateur chorister for over 25 years, performing major works w/professional orchestras - but a hard core rocker at heart. I respond to the music, but mostly the smart, sassy woman and the relationship she is carving out with this smart, witty elf. This just goes into much more interesting territory on the merging of these two spirited people than most FF. Love your stuff, Babe - keep it coming!

Just found this story, and EGADS!

Logically, I should hate it. Haldir/OFC and songfic? Yet... I'm enjoying this story far more than I should. Bronwyn is a thoroughly likable character, you've managed to keep everyone pretty in charatcer, AND there's a REASON as to why she was dumped in Moria. The humour is fantastic, the song choices are DAYUM good, and yet there's some good ole Biblical-type proclamations (go Bronwyn! Accept your destiny!) and a fair heft of angst too. I also just had to comment on how well you've written Duncan- it was very moving.

My one teeny nitpick is referring to what looks like typing errors- there's a couple of missing ounctuations dotted around. But that doesn't actually detract from the fic. It's only Grammer Nazi's like me who would pick up on it anyway.

And now I'm just waiting for the next chapter! Very Happy smiley face

Hello and thank you for your kind words. I keep TWO betas - who are English teachers - very busy between this fic and my crossover sequel. They scream because I can't puntuate my way out of a paper bag -specifically, commas(I am a musician -we use comma'sas breath marks!) and also, my eyesite isn't the greatest. The only way i can tell the difference between a " and a ' is to explode the font to 20 and read with a fine tooth comb. Shocked smiley face Sometimes I catch 'em, soemtimes not. Usually not. Surprised smiley faceops:
Armor Removal with teeth commencing first thing Monday Morning! Have your towels ready! Twisted Evil smiley face :

Oh Chapter 16 was so GOOD! Especially the scene with Bronywn's heels and the king's foot. You go girl! I wish someone could draw her in THE DRESS. I'm so looking forward to the next chapter.

Oh, I have a new favourite chapter! I love the way you've characterised the twins "Must you? We will help you escape this wretched bore!" and Elrond. Actually, natch that, I really loved all of the characterisation in this chapter in particular. Bounce smiley face I loved the humour in particular- "Can I ask a really silly question? Am I getting married today?"

I just wished that you'd given a Kleenex warning for the actual marriage, when Haldir gives her Duncan's rose. Bawl smiley face You can't do that to me when I'm all hormonal anyway!

In summary- fantastic amazing chapter and I can't wait for the next one!
