This must have been incredibly hard to do. I liked the drabbles, they made me smile, especially the one about Sauron throwing the ring away :D

Author's Response:

Hi Glorfindel, they were tricky but fun to do. That one of Sauron throwing the Ring away was actually one of the hardest, along with "Call to Aman". I'm very pleased you enjoyed them, and thanks for leaving a comment!

Loved the battle scenes. Still don't like Elrohir lol. Poor Legolas - he is going to get hurt again, isn't he? I really liked the descriptions of the sea longing. Your story has proved a wonderful diversion while I am in bed with bronchitis. I wake up - read your story - have a nap - go to sleep - wake up and read - so it goes along :D

Author's Response:

Well i am erally pleased to be able to entertain you as you have entertained me, Glorfindel. And I have no problem at all with you not liking Elrohir- you may never like him to be honest but I think at the end, you might feel a differetn emotion perhaps.

Poor Leggy he will be traumatised for life. He will have to have his meat cut up for him :)

I hope Elladan survives the Nazgul.

Author's Response:

lol!!! Yes- he will be. But I cant be bothered to make him suffer any lasting damage - so he will recover far too quickly and be ready fgor the next time. Do you know, I really hadn't realsied how many times I injure or wound him until recenlty!! And I really haven't seen it as anyhting odd that he recovers so damn quickly! I make myself laugh when I think how often he gets stabbed or beaten and wiithin two chapters, off he goes, fighting orcs!!

That was sweet :D I especially liked the last part.

Author's Response: Thanks so much. I had a fun time writing this one. I appreciate your writing to tell me :-) - Erulisse (one L)

Tis is a lovely story. I liked the feeling of being an onlooker as Erestor tried to sort through the tangle of emotions. Glorfindel knew he would have him in the end and he did!

Author's Response:

Thanks! Glorfindel was a bit smug, wasn't he? Poor Erestor - it must have wound him up even more lol! But he didn't stand a chance against Glorfindel.

What a sweet story. It made me smile :D

Author's Response: :) Aww, I remember this one, it was quite romantic. Thanks for reviewing!

‘Big-elf-without-milk-back,’ That made me chuckle!

Author's Response: xD I chuckled as I wrote it!

It is hard to say goodbye to everything you ever knew and it would be normal to have doubts after such a decision. I wonder how many elves crossed the sea and then wanted to go back :D

Author's Response: I´ve always wondered that myself too and I can so sympathize with Elrohir´s doubts. Thank you so much for your review, Glorfindel. Lai

Your story is one of the most delightful ones I have ever read. Loved it :D

Your story made me smile - I can just imagine all those men of the sea together :D

Author's Response: Hey, I'm glad you liked this, and thank you for commenting! I had a lot of fun deciding which famous old sea-dogs would be frequenting that place.

This is a wonderful retelling of the Christmas story. I really enjoyed it and I especially loved the final touch at the end when Legolas put his cloak on and it smelt of roses. One to read again!

Author's Response: Thank you! Usually, my elves in history and modern times stories have a mortal observing elves and not quite realizing what they see. This was different, in that Thranduil & Co. get a peek at something whose importance they don't comprehend at the time. Besides, Legolas being mistaken for an angel cracked me up when I thought about it.

This is a promising start to what I am sure will be a very good story. I suspect you are not revealing anything yet about the human girl until further in - it keeps the suspense going and I will be back to read the rest because I want to know the answers to the clues you have presented :D

One tiny suggestion is to put translations of the lesser known Sindarin terms at the bottom of the chapter. I only say this because I have no idea what 'A'maelamin' means. I will not be offended if you decide not to though :)

I look forward to reading the rest of the story and I hope this is the first of many more. Fin x

Author's Response: Actually my friend I meant to put all the meanings to the Sindarin words at the bottom but uhum my brain forgot so thanks I will go back and edit it to put them in but A'maelamin means 'my beloved'. And thank you soooo much for the review it means the world to me honestly. I do appreciate it alot! And yes, the story about her will come out piece by piece. Saerian's life was taken from my experiences but I made them ALOT worse and sad though it is about a child dying those mentioned here are taken from a friend of mine who lost her 1 year old son 2 years ago-- I hope I can capture all the emotion that happens in such situation here in my story because there is much more coming. Hope you enjoy the rest.
