I absolutely loved it when I read it first ..... a long time ago ina galaxy far far away Laughing smiley face

I still love it now , since I think that there are not many LOTR Fanfic writers that are as comfortable and at ease with the Silmarillion and Elven Culture as you are.

Thank you, for a lovely, bittersweet tale ...

I cried.
need I say more?
Wonderfully written, delightfully canon, and just the perfect amount of angst and love, duty and survival.

I love Glorfindel, and this is a wonderful telling of his tale. Simply beautiful! His sacrifice makes it all that much moreso...and adds to the beauty of the character. I think though, somewhere in one of the HoME volumes, Christopher Tolkien did show that his father meant Glorfindel of Gondolin to be the same as the Glorfindel of Imladris. So, you're perfectly in "canon" here! Very Happy smiley face

Lovely story, Viv!

Peace,

Excellent!

I read this story on ff.net a good while ago, and it's in my favorites list there. I'm glad to see you're enchanting readers with it here on Open Scrolls as well.

What a powerful story. You have a way of painting vivid pictures with your words. I felt like I was actually there witnessing Glorfindel's final battle. Bawl smiley face

I love it Viv, I know I've told you that before. This story has me crying, and admiring my favourite Elf all the more

Great story
Tiny gripe
Idril did not have the warrior-like role she had in the book of lost tales.

Yes. You are not the first person to point that out. Wink smiley face

I decided to follow the Silm account only, but that probably wasn't clear in my AN (hopefully have fixed that now). Thanks for reading, for taking the time to review, and for pointing out a potential oops. I really appreciate it!

Hi
I hope u dont think that i think that ur story was any less touching because of the different role. It was great and i fust wanted to point that out to non fanatics who dont think tolkien gives fighting roles to his women.
Great story...again
