It's really a wonder to me that any of the first age elves wanted to live.
Their lives seemed so sad and dark. I'm glad you gave Finrod a little light
in the form of Celeborn. And I hope that Galadriel forgave him as well. I
have a feeling Celeborn had room in his heart for lots of loves.

Oh, Marnie, I've read this more than once and each time, I'm struck anew by
the bravery of the elfling. And how in character he is. I can see a child
doing the things he does--even making Orome laugh. Well done.

Funny that we were just talking about angst and darkness tonight, then I
came here to re-read this story. And I still think it's great that it as
dark and angsty and moody artists like Maglor and Daeron can be, that they
found a happy ending here. (Or well, you let them have a happy ending!)

A new look at the Feanorians for me. I liked it. Ironic to think of Maglor
as being the one who was willing to take up the sword first, most fanfic
makes him the more reluctant brother.

It's funny, and maybe it's mentioned in one of the books, but Maglor is
usually the least evil of the Feanorians, at least in my view. Maybe that's
not canon, but is certainly seems to fit. I liked the story, could just see
a little boy trying to carry that sword. The weird formatting provided a bit
of a distraction, but not enough to make me quit reading. Well done.

Daw, another great story. It's nice to watch the way Legolas and his friends
and family grow and develop. I think Eilian is my favorite or your OCs,
although Maltanaur and Beliond are close seconds. Those two possibly have
the hardest jobs in the whole kingdom, I think. Although I wouldn't really
want to be in any of the king's sons' shoes either.

And Solith, though I can sort of see where he's coming from,he would drive
me totally nuts. Ideals are fine to live by, but some of those settlers seem
to live there all the time, instead of coming down to earth/reality
sometimes.

This was one of my favorites of your stories, where you showed a younger

with Eilian. (Well, a bit more of why). And Ithilden, I like those moments
when he is not the unflappable elf. Like he is when he's with Sinnarn...

Oh, and Eilian...what could possibly go wrong? That should be the motto of
