Tindomiel 2006-02-25 ch 4,	abuseSimply beautiful.
RavenLady 2005-05-20 ch 4,	abuse"Who’s little face was lit by a starry glow from within her blankets." You mean "whose." I'm sorry, I'm being a pest. But it's only because I like the story so much. "For Dior, the Silmaril was symbol of his parents’ love – just as he was. And it was the reason for their deaths." I see. So the thing that brought Beren and Luthien's early deaths should be treasured? sigh I can see where Dior's coming from, but I'm not sure he makes sense. The fate of Elured and Elurin has nagged at me, too. You've done something very satisfying and intriguing with it. Beautifully written, and it pulled at my heartstrings. This goes straight to my favorites list.
Lirenel 2003-05-01 ch 4,	abuseWell I'm glad someone finally decided to finish the tale of those poor boys. I've thought of doing it myself. I like how you used them to heald Melian. And I'm VERY glad they're alive. Keep writing!
The Plutonian Cow 2002-11-10 ch 4, anon.	abuseAw...that's so sad! (And so very clever...)
Belthronding 2002-10-29 ch 4,	abuseThanks for the lovely story. Sad in places, but at least you've managed a happy (of sorts) ending :*)
Caporal 2002-08-17 ch 1,	abuseMaybe no tale tells, but many fanfics do. I've always liked book-Celeborn -in the movie he seemed to need replacement batteries. I love the inner turmoil. Maybe he should have given it to the sons of Fëanor -the ones I wouldn't trust with it are gone. The remaining four -or three- would be placated by it, and much evil would be averted. Would Beren and Luthien want a third Kinslaying to take place just to preserve their memory? But without it Earendil wouldn't have been able to get to Aman. Another one of those 'what if' stories. And I've been rambling. Sorry. The point is, I like it. A lot. ~Morgûlwen
ErraticPerfectionist 2002-06-07 ch 4,	abuseThat was beautiful. =o) You're very talented as a fanfic writer doing the missing bits from the Silmarillion.
Furius 2002-04-28 ch 4,	abuseThank you, that whole hole had always seemed too sad, this is a very nice turn of events
Abigail the Jedi 2002-04-18 ch 4,	abuseTolkien actually did say somewhere that he left gapsin his works for others to fill in. Now if I could just remember what.
Deborah Judge 2002-04-17 ch 3,	abuseThis is really to the last chapter but I reviewed that once already... One thing that is coming across quite clearly in this story is the mixed nature of life. Boy that sounds big. What I mean is, everything has consequences, both good and bad, and you can't have one without the other. Immortals can't die and escape the consequences of their action - which is part of their tragedy. There is such sadness in this story. But at least the boys were saved. But Finrod wasn't, and neither was Dior, and you make us remember that.
Deborah Judge 2002-04-17 ch 2,	abuseI think you do maia very well, actually. They are much more serious even than the elves, perhaps because they have seen so much. They also are, paradoxically, much more helpless. You have a good balance in this story of cuteness (and you are the Lord of cuteness) and unanswerable pain. They complement each other, and the combination makes each side more meaningful. I would now really like to see how Melian and Galadriel get on.
Catchild 2002-04-16 ch 4, anon.	abuseThat was absolutely lovely. Here's just a brief list of things I really liked about it: I loved the way that you wrote Olorin (can't find the accent for that one on my keyboard without a lot of trial and error) -- he had just the right blend of humor and gravity, not to mention power and humanity. The chibis themselves; it was nice to see you distinguish between the two of them. The part where they had been turned into dolphins... seemed SO right. And they definitely deserved that little bit of fun. All the details about Amarië were very fitting; I was glad that you chose to include her in the plot, and especially glad that she still loved Finrod -- it's too easy for people to assume that she stayed because her love for him wasn't that strong to begin with, but I never got that impression. I really liked the lines about the lettering. And AS FOR YOUR MAIA-PHOBIA.... Well, that went out the window, didn't it? LOL! Really, though -- You wrote Melian in particular just beautifully; I think you give characters a realistic sense of depth. And your incorporation of the already-existing text just enriched the layers of the story. Also a personal favorite, I liked the parts about Melian's gardens and her singing. applauds resoundingly :-D It was a very suitable ending, and I was glad to have you "fill in the blank." YAY JULIES!!!
NickelS 2002-04-16 ch 4,	abuseapplauds foolish me, I should have seen where you were going with this, but wow, you sure know how to fill in plot holes! Very very good fic. [damn you for distracting me from my work with your brilliant fics!] je m'excuse.
NickelS 2002-04-16 ch 1,	abuseouch! I can almost smell the smoke and taste the bitterness, yea. Personally, I think this is the most powerful chapter of all your LotR fics!
Ekuboryu 2002-04-15 ch 4,	abusevideo game victory music plays YOU SAVED THE CHIBIS! Go you.....I am not saying the rest wasn;t sad, becuse it was, but you really managed ot pick it up and tie it all together. I am impressed. You are so amazing at painting this world and these characters.....beyond that.....since I reviewed and hellped do i get a donut too?
