MMMMMmmmmm. Rohme encounters with two of my favorite Tolkien characters. What a banquet. Where do I start?

Ah, yes, with Celeborn in chapter 107. As I said... The vision of a large Rohme contingent camped at the very edge of the Golden Wood (how like the Duke and Duchess to repay insult in this ominous manner) was delicious, and the reminisces of both Haldir and of Phaila/Amaras pinged my heart more than a little....

...but I absolutely FEASTED on what you did with Celeborn! Loved it! You captured his whimsy, his cleverness, and his greatness. Cast him as "venerable"...all on his own. Without Galadriel anywhere in sight. Your characterization of Glads was also dead-on in my book - the kind of tough, aggressive, inflexible classic Noldor who would NEVER reconcile with the Rohme.

And now you bring the Rohme to my (Sorry. Proprietary. Can't help it.) Thranduil and, again, I feast. His opening encounter with the "Happy puppies"...the unrepentant teasing of Amaras and Pynwyn...the kohling of silver eyes and pearls braided into a pale braid...the subtle hilarity of Thrandu's accidental 'interlude' with Pelion (one of my all time favorite Rohme)...and the gift of an intriguing new character - Anacalimen's son.

While I have eyes to read, may it never, never end...

I always look forward to chapters being added! But lately I have really needed the refreshing moments of escape that I find when reading this! Real life has been a real b---h ! Thanks for keeping me sane ! Until the next time , bless you ! Crispin

I must agree with Ingole...when I read the Celeborn in ch 107, it just took my breathe away. Stunning.

Well, you know I think it's all just fabulous; another world for us lucky, lucky readers to escape into. So, quoting Crispin, "Bless you", indeed!

Now that was well done, and beautifull till the end! But you say it is not. Like I said before "Keep it going Strong!" I see you will and I am happy about that. One of the "Best" I say, I have ever read. Excellent Story, Excellent Job!! Clap, Clap, Clap smiley face

Thank you for keeping this going ! You have no idea what this story means to me , I find myself being pulled into another world . Even though it's imaginary it's a place where we all wished we could live ! Always exciting , yet familar in a way ! Does that make sense ? Maybe not . Look forward to more chapters though !

I have just discovered this story and have spent the last 4 days glued reading it. It is probably the best fanfic I have read. Characters are well drawn, story line is believable and draws you in. I have laughed and cried. Looking forward to more chapters. Thankyou for a great read.
