I was actually wondering if any of the Valar would turn up any time soon. I like the idea of Ulmo sort of following them - it's like a glimmer of hope. Fingon's protectiveness of Aredhel is sorta cute, though it must be annoying for his sister!

Yay, finally an update! I think what I liked most about this particular chapter was the nice little scene between Spektaz and Turgon. The idea of a little nerdy kid being attached to a proud and aloof Elf-King - and said Elf-King actually not minding it - made me smile so much. Are we going to see any more out of the Feanorions? Especially, ahem, one Clezza? =D

Araloth

As you know, I am not very good at being coherent about this, but I will do my very best.

This chapter, I love it. I love the anxiousness and slight annoyance you get from Turgon, how you're not afraid to let him be a little elitist without losing his sympathy. I like your comparison of the dark of the ship and the way he thinks of Maeglin and Angband. I like his dwelling on the horses and having to kill them.

And most of all I think I just love the fact that this little ragtag dorkboy has attached himself to an Elfking known for his pride and - other things - and Turgon is just sort of perplexed but pleased at the same time.

And I still want to know what's happening next, I will confess especially with Ar and Feanorians. You make me anxious, uhhuh.

Narvi. . .the guy who helped Celebrimbor make the Moria Gate? Must brush up on 'The Fellowship' knowledge! Dandelion's kinda cute, methinks. :)

I was wondering when we were going to see that lot. The depressing and insane atmosphere of Mandos is very well done and Caranthir's suffering - actually, all the brothers' suffering - is heart-rending. Makes me want to cry. And yet another cliffie. *shakes fist* You better update soon or I'll end up going mad with wanting to know what Mandos wants!

Araloth

How depressing! Poor Aredhel. This line especially made me want to cry: “Tyelkormo, don't cry, please, you're breaking my heart when you sob like that.” And I was very sad to find that poor Argon had died. Again. *cries* Will this ever end well?

Araloth

It's quite true that the Elves would have a hard time understanding our world and the 'nebulous concept' of TV. The East and West - is this something to do with a renewal of the Cold War? I love the random cameos, by the way!

Araloth

*Gasp* Gah, stop right there, why don't ya? =D I really like the family moments and Fingon's brotherly concern. The conflicting emotions were strong and well-depicted. And the cliffies...*glares*

Araloth

That was really clever of Galadriel, I must say! I think I might know who Ronnie is. I've said it once, and I'll say it again - this is really interesting and very unique. When will the Feanorions show up, I wonder. . .

Araloth

You've got the depressed atmosphere down very nicely. I'd like to see Maeglin pop up somewhere, actually! Aredhel's motives and actions remind me somewhat of Eowyn's. And despite the fact that you've put up two chapters already I want to read more. Now. :)

Araloth

You know how I feel about this one and it basically involves a lot of me banging on your door because WHEN IS THE NEXT CHAPTER UP.

SO DAMMIT WHEN IS THE NEXT CHAPTER UP?

I ship Ar/Cleeg hard, probably even more for all their various issues and the tragedy of the way it went, ultimately, and I'm also just enjoying the epic and the scope of this. I can never write multi-chapter fics, so I admire greatly people who can and make them coherent. Seriously.

And all the little cameos make me a little happy. I'm curious if Maeglin's going to show, though, and what that would do to Ar. Just. Curious in general. HOW ABOUT THAT CHAPTER >.> *plops self on doorstep*

Really enjoying this one. There's a sense of urgency in everything that makes it very realistic! Just one nitpick - 'millenia' is the plural form of 'millenium'. That's just my inner Latin-nerd talking. This is awesome!

Araloth

I can really feel Aredhel's rage (and I admire the patience of the Valar in dealing with her, actually!). I like how you've included Argon too, the poor guy gets left out! I'm glad to see there's a ray of hope beneath all the depression, and Aredhel is portrayed sympathetically. The Dagor Dagorath will certainly be an interesting area to explore! Do continue. :)

Araloth

You evoke the fierceness of Aredhel's grief and rage very well. I must confess that I have no sympathy whatsoever for Feanor or his sons, but you make me feel sympathy for Aredhel's loss. Her conversation with Manwe is nicely done. Thank you!
