abuseI enjoyed this, though it's been ten years since I read LotR, so some of it flew over my head. But it was a fascinating little piece of interaction and well-written.

abuseSo the first thought to cross your mind will be "WTF, someone is reviewing this wicked old fic", and the second thought will be "WTF, SHE'S reviewing this wicked old fic." And then your third thought will be "WTF, she's in beta mode at 0430, and the fic is three years old and I Don't Care!" But yeah. I was bored. I couldn't sleep. So I decided to read some of your older stuff. And of course my mind slipped into beta mode. So I'm going to stop the non-sensical babbling and get on with the review:

I liked this. It was good. nothing too complicated, something that's really quite expected from both characters. You used a very interesting sentence structure (I can't think of the word I want right now... I think it starts with an 'a'). It fit the story.

Now. Beta part. Minor plot hole. You have Gandalf (oy, you know it's the middle of the night and my brain has turned off when I almost type 'Durendal'...) "plucked it neatly from Elrond's fingers." But then you have Elrond gesturing with it a few paragraphs later even though Gandalf never gives it back to him.

And like I said already, you're probably sitting there thinking "DILLIGAF?" and making snide remarks about me making you sit there reading this on your sore behind. So yeah. I'm just gonna go now.

(By the by, I'm hungry, and there's no food in the house, and this is distressing. Wah.)

abuseOkay, this is my tHIRD review on half an hour. XD i've never read any other stories like this before, but it's good! I have to thank you for not writting an AU fic with all sorts of OCs and characters totally OUT of charatcer. *shudder*

abuseHaving read (and loved!) Promises Unbroken, I needed something to fill in the wait between chapters and this is fabulous. I especially liked the part with Boromir and how he 'fled'. And it was all beautifully written, as usual.

abuseNice...I find Lord of the Rings fanfiction much harder to write than Harry Potter. In this, Tolkien actually invented a new language - two!

Quenya and Sindarin both sound so beautiful, I'm glad you applied some of them in this fanfic.

The writings of Tolkien are so profound, one can never fully understand the meanings behind each word.

abuseA beautiful little window into 'time'.
I could not believe this was not in the books, at one point. You handled the arachaic speech and prose well. I love the idea that a Ring of Power binds itself to a persons soul so tightly that it actually becomes a part. The only difference with the One Ring, i suppose, is that it forces its way in, and corrupts as it goes. I wonder if one of the other Rings could corrupt if it fell into the wrong hands? Interesting stuff.

abuseYou write Elrond flawlessly. I am so incredibly jealous. :D He was perfect in every aspect of the word.

That was a fantastic piece. I love the references to Boromir, as he is my favourite character besides Elrond. He fascinates me.

Wonderful work.

abuseReally marvelous.
I'm quite impressed with your portrayal of Gandalf... He's a tough one, to capture the combination of a kindly old gentleman who's friendly with the hobbit-folk, and the downright dangerous wizard who can intimidate the Captain of the White Tower with a look (much like Melian... darn Maiar) - and you've done that so well! You've also captured the sense of depth that comes from reading the Lord the Rings... that there IS so much story behind it, with your little references to Celebrimbor, and your insights into Ring-lore. This is truly quite the lovely piece of writing, and I can't wait look into your other work :)

abuseHey, cool! I read your Harry Potter fics and was intrigued to find that you also wrote fanfic for Lord of the Rings, my other big obsession (though hp has definitely been in the forefront since I discovered the Sirius Black Fanclub). Very expert. I can tell you are well-versed in the lore of Middle-Earth. *pause* Ick, did I just say that? I meant that you seem very well researched and that just sort of came out.

Interesting, though...you still sound the same as you do in Death Before Dishonor and the rest, even though you are writing in Lord of the Rings.

Your welcome for reading, and thanks for writing!

abuseHey! I haven't actually finished the series, but I thought this was really good-a lot of foreshadowing, for Boromir. (Gosh, he annoys the heck out of me).
