I just found this story, and it is AWESOME! I am shamelessly rooting for Grima, even though sometimes I really want to smack him one. Please, do update soon!

I really enjoyed reading this, I sincerely hope you continue. I've been a fan of Grima/Eowyn for years now and it's great to see people are still writing fics with this pairing.

Your style of writing is lovely. It's fluid and easy to follow but also elegant and well worded.

The refreshing thing about this fic (I apologise in advance as I haven't read your others, so I can't comment about them!) is that Grima isn't being portrayed as a slimey evil guy with no morals or redeeming features. In fact, he's being portrayed as a tragic romantic figure and a misunderstood man. In my experience, that's not easy to find even in Grima/Eowyn centred fiction, although maybe I just haven't been reading the right fics. :) Anyway, I like your take on their relationship and the way you write it shows your passion for it.

Looking forward to the update!

I was reading your reviews the other day and I found one right below mine that criticized your plot and idea. All I could think of was, "HELLO?!?!?! That's why it's called fanFICTION." These people frustrate me...anyways, don't listen to a narrow-minded simpleton. He just doesn't know what imagination is :).
Talk to me anytime!

Love the slyness and the deceit. Grima definitely makes my skin crawl, yet a part of me wants to get so close to him...*shudder. Can't wait for the sex scene! (If there is one, however...) You just write them so well!

I...wow. The despair and twisted love is just...I'm pretty speechless. Her inability to deny him matches his inability to leave her be. They are both caught and stuck in a very intricate web. Its amusing to watch them struggle, her to get away and him to make her stay.
I have to say that I dislike Eomer turning Eowyn from who she loved, and I resent Faramir for being gone and his people for being stuck up.
great, I'm rooting for the "bad" guy again and disdaining the "good" guys...oh well.

Please take no offense at this review. This is simply my honest opinion and I have nothing against you personally. But to tell the truth, I really did not like this story.
Firstly, Grima Wormtongue was killed. There is no way around it. It happened in the Scouring of the Shire, after he slit Saruman's throat. Wormtongue was shot point blank by quite a few hobbit archers, pierced many times. I'm fairly certain they even buried him. This occurred in the Return of the King, although not the movie.
Also, Grima was creepy. According to the book, he was basically Eowyn's stalker. He, quote, "haunted her footsteps".
I must also protest how Eowyn was portrayed as not truly romantically loving Faramir, or at least the hint of so. They fell in love in the Healing Houses. It was quite clear in the Return of the King that there was great love between them, it was written beautifully by Professor Tolkien. This was also not included in the movie.
There are other nuances I would like to address, but I fear insulting you, which I certainly do not mean to do. I realize there may be a comment to not read the story if I dislike it, however, there is a reason I am watching this story. That is, I think you have a great talent and potential. Your dialogue moves the story along naturally and your tone is quite fitting. The timing is well spaced enough to avoid being melodramatic. This is a well written story, so much so that I would adore it, if it weren't for the basis of the story. Best of wishes in your writing, may you have pleasant waves.

(I don't know if many will notice the Furuba or Fruits Basket reference, but I like it.)

So good to see an update! I am very pleased with both chapter 6 and 7. I found parts in 7 rather humerus,such as Grima reminding her that she wasn't really talking of the things her husband did for HER that she liked.

He's so crafty like that.

I love them around eachother

so much.

Oh, Auri. *contented sigh* You really have these characters' voices down SO well. All your descriptions are so vivid, I can see them clearly in my mind. And I just love the snippiness between them, and Grima's earnestness, and Eowyn beginning to understand. You broke my heart about a kazillion times. <3

Hi!
At last an update! Wonderful! I loved reading this chapter, you really have a talent for writing, Auri.
I envy Eowyn so much, I wish I was there with Grima in her place! Although I could do without the voices...those are creepy. Why does she hear them anyway? I really look forward to your next post!

Keep up the good work!

Hello auri, I just wanted to say that this is a really wonderful story. I have read some other Grima/Eowyn stories, where Eowyn forgives Grima too quickly for his betrayal. She is a proud and curageous woman and I think it would take more for Grima to earn her respect than to just fall on his knees and say he was sorry...
Anyways, I like this story very much, I only hope there is a happy ending to it? You know...Eowyn/Grima-wise? I saw that the category for this story was drama/angst after I started reading, and now I'm stuck and will have to continue reading even if the outcome is not...you know...romance...But I so wish for a happy ending for Grima!...please?...
Well, I really look forward to the next chapter!
