YEAH! GO Gimli! I love the progression and the reality, you've kept to the canon. *claps*

Very nicely done - what a pleasure to read.

My only slight concern is that we are told in the appendices that Legolas and Gimli brought their peoples to live near each other before the last two members of the Fellowship sailed for Valinor.

Sarah: Beautiful, Tathrin, just beautiful! You portray the friendship of Legolas and Gimli very well, even as you add the characteristic humour in their "squabbles" as well. :D Awesome job!

This is really good! Keep writing. If you know, elvish, please email arwen_erin12@yahoo.com.

Author's Response: Alas, I do not. http://www.elendor.net/translator.php is a useful place for finding the occassional word, but I don't know anywhere that's very comprehensive.

You did a wonderful job with this story. Your descriptions of the sea longing, and Gimli dreading both Legolas leaving and his staying and suffering more were very nicely done. It was sad the way you talked about Arwen's inevitable fading after Aragorn died. Picturing her riding away from Minas Tirith gave me a shiver, especially when you talked about how she had already left, emotionally speaking. I had always believed that Legolas had asked Gimli to go with him to Valinor, but this is an alternate idea that is just as plausible. Very good and emotional story. Loved it.

Author's Response: Aw, thank you. I always get sad when I think of the fate of the Elves, and the Sea Longing, and I'm glad I could share some of those emotions. Thank you again.

I like it very much so far. The way you portrayed young Legolas is very good. One notice though : if your title "Mellin" is supposed to mean "friends" in Sindarin, the right spelling is "Mellyn", according to my studies. Keep up the good work !

Author's Response: Seriously? Well, that's what happens when you leave all your elvish documents at home and try to reconstruct these things from your faulty memory, I guess...*mutters darkly*

Nicely written and interesting exploration of how Gimli might come to join Legolas in his voice. Their banter was particulary lovely. My only real problem is with "Middle Earth". I know a lot of people spell it this way, but Tolkien did write it "Middle-earth". Bit of a mini-peeve. But aside from that, I very much enjoyed.

Author's Response: "Middle Earth"? What was I on? I so know better--I did it rught in my other fics...sigh...Anyway, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks as well for pointing that out so I can fix it! *whaps herself on the forehead*

I already read and reviewed this on HASA, but thought I'd pop over here too and tell you how good I thought it was.
The interactions were superb.

BTW, congratulations on getting 'Wreathed In Smoke' into the HASA public archive!

Author's Response: Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback--especially that you went so far as to tell me twice! And thanks; I was so excited when they approved it!
