This is a delightful story! You really captured Sam's way of thinking and manner of speech, and your portrayal of Glorfindel is spot-on, in my opinion.

Just the small part alone where Glorfindel was thinking of, and discarding, ideas to amuse himself in the Hall of Fire shows the richness of your imagination.

Thank you for sharing this lovely story with us!

Thank you for correcting the couple of typos I mentioned immediately! Not every author takes such pride in their work...

Nifty! I enjoyed the portrayal of Glorfindel, amused, bored, admiring, refined, and deeply ancient, all in turn well contrasted with Sam's basic straightforward 'hobbitness' and devotion. I liked it Smile smiley face

Wow! your story is touching, well put together, great development and so in character. Great use of descriptive bocabulary: paints a picture but doesn't sound "wordy". You truly captured Samwise, and Glorfindel, Elrond was my favorite, but now maybe the balrog slayer, since I have come to know him better through your story. BRAVO!

Great story! For me that was a perfect picture of Glorfindel. I loved the interaction between Sam and my favorite golden-haired elf Very Happy smiley face

It fits so well with canon. Glorfindel is exactly the way i imagine him, too. Lovely! Are you, by any chance, writing some more stories about the Balrog slayer?? Bounce smiley face

I'm sure I have reviewed this before, but obviously - not here (...?) maybe somewhere else Sad smiley face

Apologies if I read and didn't review, - I especially enjoy this, it's one of my favorites and I've recommened to several other readers. I especially enjoy the characterizations and the interaction between Sam and Glorfindel.

Absolutely beautiful piece Nancy and Anna! Being a great lover of the great Glorfindel I think you captured him magnificently. I also think your Sam is one of the best I've come across with his meandering and rambling words... catching just the right sound to his voice. Indeed he is a great weapon for Frodo against Sauron and the hordes of Mordor!

I must say I had a very similar idea for a future chapter in a future sequel to the Glorfindel piece I'm writing currently; however, it was going to be between Glorfindel and Bilbo when Blibo first came through Imladris after recovering Sting.

Again, wonderful and enjoyable to read your piece!
