*laughs* Ah, I giggled throughout this one. Didn't understand the words and I guess I didn't need to -- really loved the premise that elves would make up all these bizarre words. Makes me think that maybe there're few words named after elves as well. XD Also loved the interactions between the two characters -- deftly handled.

Enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing. ^_^

*smiles* You're very welcome for the toy spider. I'm delighted it inspired you!

You telling Haldir to "GEEZ! Don't do that!" cracked me up. XD

By the way, I wonder what the elves of the wood think about this strange mortal who loudly tramps around the wood huffing and puffing and... thought it'd be interesting to hear their gossip. XDXDXD

Author's Response: The spider stuck in my head, it actually inspired the whole scene in the mirror.

The elves are going to keep sneaking up on her throughout the story, but she\'s trying her best to be as quiet as possible, too.

I like the idea of elven gossip. I\'m going to have to use that!

Thank you for reviewing, I really need the feedback. I was getting desperate without it.

IT'S RAINING ELVES! HALLELUJAH!

Mwaha! Couldn't resist writing that. XDXDXD

Honestly, I think this is my all new favourite chapter. I loved how you described her fighting those orcs in tune with that song (which I don't know, but it worked very well). Excellent! Also loved how she almost took off her elvish companion's head... yes. And I laughed re Gollum throwing rocks at elveses and actually managing to hit them. XD

Absolutely adored this one. Am looking forward to the next chapter. Very much so. (^___^)

Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Battle scenes are harder to write and I wasn\'t sure it would come across the way it was in my head.

It was a young elf, he\'s not used to things in HIS trees! Besides, I always pictured Hobbits (and Gollum) as being really good at throwing stones, I think Tolkien even wrote about one of them, Sam maybe.

I\'m looking forward to the next chapter too!

Gracious I missed my reviewers!

This story stirred up all my warm, fuzzy, squeey feelings for these elflings. I especially enjoyed reading about Elrond's and Elrohir's consideration for keeping the secret of Adar Rhiw from their siblings. Thank you for sharing this sweet and adorable story.

This is your first fanfiction? I'm impressed! Well done! This story is sweet and cute, your Estel is endearing and I love the tolerance and supportiveness of his adoptive family. Thanks for an enjoyable read.

Author's Response: I just like little Estel! Thank you. I'd almost forgotten about this story. I've grown so much since then. Thanks for reading. I also have another account here: Daewen.

Thanks for sharing these, callerofcrows. I've never managed to spot a blooper (I'm really bad at spying them), but with your help I'll know where to look on my next "Lord of the Rings" trilogy movie marathon. Thanks again!

Author's Response:

It's not a problem! I'm glad that you liked this little blurb and I hope that you enjoy finding the bloopers I pointed out. Who knows? Maybe you'll start spotting several of your own. :-D I hope that this piece made you laugh, and that when you find the little oops moments in the trilogy that you laugh as well!

Oh. My. I read the pairing, but I still wasn't prepared for the story. It's beautifully, powerfully written. Sensual, bitter, overflowing with angst and disturbing complexities. I loved it and I applaud you for writing it. Thank you for a wonderful read.

Author's Response: Oh, Thank you *blushes* It's defiantly different from my previous writing, but I thoroughly enjoyed writing it, and it thrills me to get reviews like your :D I am humbled, and encouraged to try more!
