Hmm. Interesting idea. I like the subject and story a lot, don't get me wrong, but I think you might want to work on formatting....either yourself or find a beta, because the grammar detracted from what I think could have been a very enjoyable fic. I'm not an expert, but you might want to edit this a bit. Smile smiley face

I think you (Estella) probably wrote this review while I was fixing the format (I copy-pasted the story from a Word-file), and it took a little while. Still learning on this thing...
But still, thanks for reviewing! Smile smiley face

Ah, Lovely ... I thought you worked in Tolkien's own phrases to great effect ("Samwise, his loyal servant" e.g.) and painted sweet and poignant portraits of both Merry and Arwen.

Also, I couldn't help but laugh appreciatively of your portrait of Merry the late night writer! Haven't we all been there?

Touching. English may not be your native language, but you seem to be mastering it. I smiled the whole time I was reading it.

This is a wonderful story and very touching. Your portrayal of the characters is very good and I particularly liked the part about Merry wanting to meet Théoden again ‘on the other side’ as it were. Very nice thought. As for English not being your first language, it does not show at all, and in fact I am a little humbled. I only wish I could write in Icelandic to the same level! Very Happy smiley face

Skál! (hope I said that right Surprised smiley face

Ahh.. That's so sweet! I like Merry a lot too, and I am glad that he has found happiness, and not with Pippin either.
Luv,

That is adorable.

I think that the way you portrayed Arwen as this woman who is still very much unsure of herself and her life she has chosen was very well written and I got a sense of Merry's fear of not finding love because well all know that had to echo...i mean..great job

Very sweet! I really liked Merry and Arwen's conversation, and the wistful tone. Only one tiny grammatical thing leaped out at me: it should be "she laid her hands on his shoulders" instead of "she lay her hands on his shoulders." But that's a small thing, and one that even native speakers mix up sometimes. I really would not have guessed that English was not your first language. Nice job!
