| What a well written portrait of Galadriel through the eyes of Finrod and Frodo. At the same time, you managed to perfectly capture the extent of bravery and sacrifice that Frodo made. You did a lovely job of expressing Frodo's self-doubts of whether he was truly a hero or not, in spite of all that he had done for Middle Earth. I throughly enjoyed this gem of a story. |

Wonderful pic. It's nice that someone actually remember that Galadriel, though wise and powerful, also had a lighter side to herself (remember Sam's comments...)
Elf-lord very credible, with the right amount of gayety and wisdom. And Frodo was just perfect.

| What a gorgeous image of Galadriel and Finrod reunited. I could feel the joy of that celebration, and understood Frodo's humility in the face of such glory. Your characterization of Finrod was lovely; how comforting to know that he felt his sister's moment of temptation and triumph, even across the sundering sea. Great piece. |

Excellent! Really well done! Enchanting and not too descriptive...  |

This was one absolutely delightful read. The image of Galadriel dancing and enjoying herself made her seem so young and unburdened of all her responsibilities ... I was smiling as I read. The conversation between Finrod and Frodo was very touching. I especially liked how Frodo insisted on giving Sam all the credit for destroying the ring ... and Finrod explains how Frodo fully deserves the title of hero.
After having seen RotK last night and crying my eyes out as Frodo sails West ... I needed to read something as wonderful as this today. Thank you. |

A very enjoyable read, well thought out and very nicely expressive. I may have to read more of *your* elves |

| A great story, and something I had always pictured happening in my head. You brought those images to life perfectly! I love any story involving Finrod and Galadriel (we don't see enough of them together) my favorite part was the parallels you drew between Frodo and Finrod when Finrod talks of faltering. |

Ooooooo. You do have a light side. This makes up for the other story. I really like this one. I did not buy the movie Galadriel as stiff. (Although the EE showed a lighter side of her). I am very happy I decided to read this. Enough said.
