I just read this straight through, very very good. liked the way you portrayed namo. hope your muses gift you with a sequel i will read it for sure if they do! thanks for writing and sharing x

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed it and the muse is snooping around, but I need to finish another fic first. Hang in there :) ~G

Aww. This was such a sweet story. And I can't wait for that sequel ;)

Author's Response: The bunny is starting to hop about again! Thanks for the reviews :) ~G

This was a very sweet story with a nice ending. Your het scene was very good too, just enough to give that tingly sensation. I think your writing has a lot of potential and I would encourage you to throw a het based story out there every once in a while. It seems there aren't enough m/f stories lately. You did a good job of it.

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I like the building of intimacy more than the graphic act so to speak.This was written a couple of years ago (then I had a dry spell) and now I am trying again with my Sons of Rohan Series. Would love to know what you think of those. Thanks for the review and the confidence boost :) ~G

aaaaaaawwwwww
This chapter was so cute, so loving, so caring, so ... I ran out of words, so everything, perfect even.
But I do not like the idea of Súrelindë staying behind alone, even if only for a short time. Well, you probably know already and the rest of us will just have to be patient.
Thanks for this very nice chapter

Author's Response: Thank you! When this was written it had been my first attempt at Het. and the last until Sons of Rohan. Glad it all fit together nicely. There is one chapter left and I had planned to make it a series but a computer crash took the sequel down. Maybe someday cause that little dark haired baby that was born was going to show up again as an adult---but we will see. I must finish Eomer's story for Sons first. I really appreciate you reading and reviewing; as an author it really means a lot. Enjoy the ending and hope you will check out my Sons of Rohan Series. ~G

Here I go, making your day again.
I likes this chapter, though I expected Saelind to make more of a fuss about it all. But they are not married yet, he still has a lot of time for that =)
But at least the happy couple is on the right track, TOGETHER!!
This was once again a very nice chapter, I especially enjoyed the jealousy and carrying parts.

Author's Response: Yes you did! Thanks :) The Adviser does realize his competition is the Vala of Death and he's no fool. The story is about to wind down but there is still a little more excitement to come...hope you enjoy! ~G

OK, now that is an unexpected turn, her being a princess and all. But it gives the story a very nice touch and I believe that Saelind will try even harder to get her to marry him. I mean, who wouldn't want to marry into a king's line if given the chance?

Thanks for mentioning me, and you can be sure I will stay tuned.

Author's Response: Hmmm...did not think of it like that! good though :) I will be back to posting tomorrow as I just got a new laptop and I am still getting it all set up. Hang in there, though...the fun is about to begin

I am almost certain that you would have gleefully enjoyed watching me reading this!

The advisor's proposal most certainly took me by surprise. I thought he would only tell her to keep her respectful distance from Námo, and then that... made me wonder however if he only did it at this exact moment because a Vala found interest in her... would be an amazing coincidence if he just so decided to propose now, after watching her for *decades*...

Anyway ... and then from bulging to tearing eyes... one can't help loving that Vala! And Gildor. That was actually the only sentence of the advisor’s speech that was true: “He is a rational, albeit eccentric elf”

Author's Response: I am glad it provoked so many emotions! This is what I always hope to pull from readers. As for the Adviser, yah, I think it was more that Gildor was there--something that did not happen often--to agree to the match. Gildor is a favorite of mine (definitely eccentric) and I wanted Namo, in this chapter, to be as "non-god-like" as possible. I did not want to write a Persephone/Hades fic.

Ah, the moment I dreaded and anticipated at the same time ;-) excellent chapter!
I am so glad that Gildor seems to be reasonable.

But it made me wonder: he met Námo as a child? I'm curious for that story, though it seems to be a tragic one...

Author's Response: Gildor is very old and I will not say much about his past because it would be a spoiler for things to come, however, I will say that he was born in Valinor and came as a page with the host of the Valar when they came to distroy/capture Morgoth (at least in my Arda). The Valar are a more constant presence in the West so no real tragidy cause their meeting. His tale come out in a Fic I wrote called To Explore Arda (though it is not connected to this story--hmmm, could be?!).

Yessss! Irmo meddling ...

I really enjoyed the last two chapters, from the shallow ellyth to the helpful Círdan and my favorite-in-this-chapter Irmo.

Still, I'm not quite sure how Gildor will react / how I would react if I was Gildor / how you will make him react

uhm... hope you're not doing anything ... well ... ;-) *hasty*?

Author's Response: Hey siblings look out for each other---especially since they are a unique pair. You will see him again. As for Gildor (he is one of my favorites) and you will have your answer very soon just remember he is a father and it is his little girl...

Awww, poor Námo. Must have hurt to get that reaction once again and in front of his crush no less...

Ah, well, Círdan will sort things out, I hope.

But I'm wondering what Gildor would have to say to all of this. I don't know if I wanted my daughter to follow her love into Mandos, even alive...

Just a random thought again ;-)

Really liked the chapter and am waiting for more... the sooner the better ;-) ...

Author's Response: You have very interesting 'random' thoughts. Time will tell, but great minds do think alike. More will post later today or in the morning. Thanks again for the encouragement :)
