I read once that love is always mingled with other complex emotions and it seems to be quite true. Reading and enjoying. Cannot wait for the next chapter. Thank you for this entertaining story!

Author's Response: Again, thank you for still following t he story and for your reviews. it means a lo to know that a fragment of my imagination and fantasy can add a little entertainment in your life. :)

a great chapter! I loved the addition of the Valar Elbereth. I am reading along and enjoying your story.

Author's Response: thank you for still following the story. I am glad you are enjoying it.

It's your story. I have not read the latest chapter yet, but you can pair Farimir with who ever you want!

Author's Response: Haha thank you for understanding =) I just didn't want any haters yelling at me.

Wow! This is very Exciting! You wrote the sparing scene*very*well. I think any kind of battle scene is tough. Poor Nim! She's going to need skill and luck. She may have gotten herself into a bind, but Faramir will not let her stand alone, even if she protests.

A great cliff hanger. And very well written! I'm impressed as always. You are a marvel.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your continual support and enjoyment! This one took me a while to write, just trying to figure out how to write the sparring and such. I am very pleased that you thought it was well-written =) Hopefully the next one will be even better! =)

I am glad nim was saved. I love the flash back and the promise. I can feel her physical pain and her reluctance to come back to reality. Another great chapter.

I know how busy you are noe, but I cannot wait to see what is next.

Love you!

Author's Response: I couldn't bear to kill her off! <3 =) Glad that you liked it!! Chapter 8 is in the process... =D <3

This story is such a tease! Enjoying it.

Author's Response: Thanks Lisse. I hope you will follow along.

reading and enjoying!

Author's Response: Thanks Lisse.

I love your treatment of Boromir, and the skill and grace with which you craft your story. A very enjoyable read.

"Why must we dwell on the single time he failed, especially when he purposefully laid down his life to compensate for his failure?"

I see Boromir's plight with the ring as one we all face. We all have areas we are tempted in repeatedly. Each choice for good is a victory.

But who has not fallen to temptation and willfully done what they know is wrong?

I see myself in Boromir, and I hope my reponse to failure would be as brave as his.

Thank you for this entertaining and thoughtful story.

Author's Response: thanks! i agree wholeheartedly: everyone falls to temptation once in a while. it's what we do afterwards that matters, and if we learn from our mistakes we don't fall to that temptation again. thank you so much for reviewing again!!

I have read and enjoyed your 1st chapter. It shows wisdom above your years in your exploration of Glorfindel and his love and the trouble in their relationship

"But the cage, despite having almost rusted through, still held. The iron ties of memory and youth still held fast. And thus, their broiling contempt endured."

From one who has loved as a young person and lost in later life, I can tell you the ties are iron. They may bend and the bird fly, but the will never break. I will be reading further.

Thank you for sharing

Author's Response: Thank you Lisse! I appreciate that very much.
I may be young, but I have witnessed many relationships crumble and stagnate like that between Glorfindel and Erestor. And I too know what it feels like to be bound by the memories of young love and a broken heart, unable to step forward into the future.
I'll be continuing this after I finish Ever and Ever.
-Whisper

Eomer swung upwards and blocked with his shield the blow that came plunging down on them. He was aware that Legolas had taken a deep breath, flashed his blade and then blood spurted from an orc's pulsing neck. Then, at the top of his voice and with violent joy the elf burst into a snatch of some elvish battle song. The notes were fierce and thrilling.

Ah yes, do I havew a song for you my dear. I will send you a link. If this is not an elvish battle song, we have nothing close. As always I love the phrase I pasted above. I hope all my comments do not bother you, but this chapter is thrilling. I wish slash did not put people off. This is magnificent!! I wnat to be like you when I grow up!

Author's Response: Yes please- do send a link. I really struggle with songs and have not the patience to translate - my sindarin is very poor! So a link to good songs would be most welcome. A couple of smutty ditties would come in handy too if you know where I can find some!! Your comments are like gold dust- you know how important reviews are. Made me laugh.
