 TenshiNanashi 2009-09-22 . chapter 7I...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. |
 LOTR_junkie 2009-07-10 . chapter 7 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.) |
 hyfaredre 2009-07-08 . chapter 7 i will die if you dont update! i love this story!! |
 Nightstars-girl 2009-07-07 . chapter 7 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. |
 ElvenPirate41 2009-07-06 . chapter 7Oh, 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 |
 Jezebelle666 2009-07-01 . chapter 6Hi!
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!

 Song in the woods 2009-06-27 . chapter 2whoa! The old song goes "a kiss is just a kiss" But to learn it turned into this...poor Eowyn. |
 Song in the woods 2009-06-27 . chapter 1Wow good story idea and very original! |
 Jezebelle666 2009-04-23 . chapter 5Hello 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! |
 Fourth Interval 2009-04-16 . chapter 5This is awesome. Needs CHAPTER 6!
Bah! Suspense! |
 ZoePlanet 2009-03-27 . chapter 5Holy cow, this is the most amazing LOTR story i have ever read!
please, can you tell me when will you submit the next chapter? :)
thanks for sharing this exellent story! |
 Nightstars-girl 2009-02-19 . chapter 5Grima is a real trickster at times. So glade too see you finally have posted another chapter! It was wonderful... The voices scared me a little, I got shivers down my spine. :O |
 Nightstars-girl 2009-02-14 . chapter 4Oh please do update with a current chapter! Please for the love of hobbits and shires! Your a fantastic writer, and I do hope to see more of this story. My heart actaully got all fluttery when Grima was enticing Eowyn to stay the night with him. It takes much talent in a writer to have reader feel the emotions and experience the same things as the charcters.
I beg of you! One more Chapter?
Just one?
Oh that was a terrible reference to that part of the story and poorly thought out
Write my dear write write write! |
 Nightstars-girl 2009-02-14 . chapter 3This is THE best Grima/Eowyn story I've read so far. No exaggeration at all. I simply adore how much your going into depth with this story. You actaully seem to have a plot so far as I can tell. And Eowyn part is simply amazing in this story. Usually in others she is opening her legs to him like a whore! And Grima, really honestly feel a bit of sympathy for him! please keep up the amazing work if this is not completed.
Oh my word this story is amazing! |
 maddie 2009-02-07 . chapter 4 ah! I hope she comes back. Poor Grima!! write more please!! |
