A classic story with classic writing. That is, a very very good gapfiller
written by a talented writer. Favourite bit has to be Gimli's pack of rocks!

This is a tantalizing tale; I can very easily see these superstitions
arising in Rohan (where cats don't seem to be favored as much as dogs, at
least in the movies, and where superstitions seem to be given more credence.
Your Eowyn was very well rounded and after the read I wanted to know more
about Luthwen. It was spooky without being overwhelmingly horrific.

I never would have believed Silmarillion/Harry Potter crossover would work.
Of course I never thought of either Voldemort or Melkor as at all snarky.
Well done -- this very clever piece managed to overcome my preliminary
scepticism, and I really enjoyed it.

This is an wonderfully ambitious work, delightfully rich in JRR Tolkien's
world but at the same time, stretching canon near to breaking without
forceing that 'snap!'. The half-Noldorin Orc, Morsul, and the other original
characters, both Orc and Elf, are deep and well-thought-out. The Canon
characters delightfully subtly darkened. Barrowwight's world shadows and
parallel's Tolkien's to a frightening degree. This is the story that was not
told in the comfortable Hall of Fire or the sitting rooms of Gondor in the
years after; these are the things we may not, probably do not, want to know.
This is the other side of the ending with horrific accuracy and detail,
delving deeper, perhapes, than many of us may want to go into Orc, and
Elvish, culture. and as BarrowWight proclaims, no attempts have been made to
keep this warm and fuzzy like that 'other', more popular writing, the
Redbook. So, while I highly recommend this work, I will also say, "Reader
Beware!" because it shake loose your preconceptions of happy endings and
life in the Fourth Age.

This is an interesting tale, and I like it for its mythic qualities. I
suppose it makes sense that Anduril would survive past Aragorrn; after all,
it had survived since Isildur's time and before that since when Telchar
first forged it. I do wish you could have told it without bringing Gandalf
back from Valinor. It would have been nice to have it canon-compliant, for
example, to have Celeborn or one of the twins or some other immortal who
didn't sail over the seas be the one to move it.

Oh, this was a delightfully spooky story. I loved it. (And here I was
thinking that there were few corners of Middle-earth left for Werecat to
explore? Foolish me, indeed.) I particularly liked your descriptions of
Gandalf and especially Radagast. They seemed very real and earthy and
consistent with what we know about the Grey and the Brown ones, but you
didn't hit us over the head with who exactly they were. Personally, I'm not
convinced that Earnil could have cured Hithwen's son (sorry, I am forgetting
his name). It seems that the line of the true "king" passed from Anarion's
line when Ondoher died heirless, and the Gondorians chose someone with so
little of Anarion's blood when the northern kings had a much more direct
descendant. Just my two cents. And I think that, if he could heal Black
Breath, surely there would be other soldier's in Pelargir who needed
healing. It's not like the king at this point spent all his time in Minas
Tirith. I can see him travelling to Pelargir on a tour, and the woman
bringing her son to meet with him, almost like the story of the lame man who
Jesus healed after his disciples lowered him through the roof. Anyway, I
digress. This is a nice story, well thought out, and I really enjoyed it.

I have to admit that, by the time I reached the end of the "Quenta
Silmarillion" I was skimming the text. Elves never were my forte, and I just
wasn't that interested in it. So I was sceptical to start this piece, but
after the first few screens I was certainly hooked. Your descriptions are
vivid, and your treatment of young Elrond and Elros was touching, not to
mention cute. We all know what happens to the havens at Sirion, so in many
ways reading this piece was like watching the movie "Titanic". I mean, we
all knew the ship was going to sink, but there were still some surprises
along the way. I especially loved the tension between Earendil and Elwing,
because it cut both ways; Earendil was uncomfortable with the silmaril, and
Elwing hated Earendil's need to journey the seas. Overall, it was a very
enjoyable tale that held my interest until the end -- which is saying
something, given I usually prefer shorter pieces like vignettes and
drabbles.

I truly adored this story! I think that this story brought Eomer to life in
such an endearing way. He comes across as so serious in the movies. Plus
there is not near enough of him in the movies, so this story brings Eomer to
life so cleverly, and so "real". He becomes a man that you can't help but
love. This story shows that he is a great leader, a good guy and a very
lovable man! And Ani... she's wonderful! She's spunky and smart and won't
let people walk over her, including Eomer! Which I really like as a trait in
women. I applaude Eomer & Ani strongly, and if this were a 4th Lord of the
Rings movie, I would go see it without question.

The story is told in such a true way that I could totally picture all the
scenery as they traveled back & forth across Middle Earth. Even the
sub-characters were interesting. The author made me like or dislike them and
care about what happened to them. Cam & Amrothos could be another story on
their own! I really wish they were come to think of it!

And Fenwick... I hated that guy big time and wanted him gone right off the
bat. And thats good writing if an author makes you hate a character that
much!

So I would recommend this story to everyone who loves Lord of the Rings, or
just a good story, it gives us much more of Eomer who deserves every word
written about him.

Ahh! Thank You!

That was an absolutely fabulous story. I was hooked from the start. Both the
story and the wonderfully excellent way it was written really appealed to
me.

I have only seen this good writing in maybe 3 or 4 other un-published
authors. Ever thought of writing a book?

This story has kept me up many a night reading ’til 3-4 in the morning, just
because I could not turn away from the screen, wanting to know more about
what would happen. And it has made me become violent against my books, when
they got punched in frustration and anger over Fenwick's actions, (I’ve
learned my lesson from having had to buy a new keyboard after it was hit
into oblivion in frustration before, pocket books are softer.)

The absolutely excellent writing has me floored, I could never write this
good. I just sit here and hope that you get the wonderful idea to write a
novel or something and have it published, because I would definitely buy it.
I have at the moment maybe 12 books lying in a pile, waiting to be read, but
I let them wait until I’ve finished this story because it held me in such a
strong grip reading it. I could really see everything in front of me as I
read, and it’s the way you describe things that really put the reader there
in the story.

I am not a very emotional person, but this story has brought out so many in
me, mirth, sadness, anger, frustration, happiness, relief. In the end just
after Fenwick's fall, I felt this huge need to cry out of relief (could have
been that I was listening to Gregorian's version of the Sound Of Silence, or
the late hour, it’s 2 am as I write this), but probably a combination of all
three. Not many stories do that to me.

You and your beta work very well together, and I hope that the two of you
will continue with that, too give us readers these wonderful and
well-written stories.

I will now continue on reading the sequel, my pile of books will just have
to wait.

I hope you get time and inspiration to continue writing that one so that I
will not have to wonder or go crazy from waiting.

Cheers, and thank you once again,

Jenny

Avon makes great use of a line from the books as her title, allowing the
rest of the drabble to stand as an elaboration of it. Gollum's schizophrenic
nature infects his captor, who finds himself caught in a dizzying
relationship with his prisoner. Who is really driving whom? Aragorn ought to
be the dominant end of this relationship, yet he isn't, seeing himself as
both captor and prisoner. There's no point of balance between them, and
Aragorn finds himself unable to escape Gollum, who invades every sense, and
unlocks a rather indeterminate fear. It's clearly connected to the Ring, but
at the same time, what precisely is it about the Ring, as it manifests in
Gollum, that Aragorn fears? It's unclear, and I think it's the more
effective for that openness. Well done!

This is a lovely, sunny drabble about Beregond and Bergil, as they rebuild
their lives in Ithilien. We don't get any chances to see these two interact
with each other, and so have to infer quite a lot. But this seems to me very
plausible. Beregond's anxiety over whether his son, who has endured the
horrors of war and responsibilities beyond his years, will be happy in their
new home, is very touching. He doesn't want for Bergil to have to continue
to soldier on, as it were, but hopes that he'll have a chance to be a boy
for awhile. Bergil is delightfully portrayed, and in the end, Beregond's
hopes are realized, as Bergil is quickly distracted from the chaos of
displacement by the promise of finding a new bird's nest.

For those of us who've wondered what would persuade a father to let his son
stay during what seems likely to be the last stand of Minas Tirith, this
drabble suggests an answer. We see here the absent mother playing a vital
role in that decision: she is the ground of Bergil's love for Minas Tirith
and also the ground of one aspect of the father-son relationship that spawns
a rather unexpected consequence. There's irony aplenty here, as the dead
rule the living, who may soon join them.

Another good missing moment in the relationship of Beregond and Bergil: how
did Bergil receive the news that his father had committed treason during the
Siege of Minas Tirith? One imagines it would be quite the blow for a boy who
seems to have a healthy boyish case of hero worship for his father, not to
mention quite terrifying once the possibility sank in that Beregond might
even be killed for his actions. We see the limits of justice here, and the
drabble appropriately ends with the hope that mercy will prevail.
