Great story, but why did you have to kill them both : (

Nice story...
Sethiel is such a villian

Beautiful and painfully heart felt. Thorin stories are my favorite right now. Sat down and had to read the whole thing at one time! Absolutely loved their connection to each other. I definitely need to go back and add more elvish in my story :) Bravo!

Liked your story but would a happy ending be too much to ask? The third movie is going to be unbearably sad, like the source material. I prefer a "happily ever after" outcome since we know what's coming.

Okay, so I almost liked Tauriel, but... by the end I was back to the "I hate Elves" mindset... but it almost worked! To ALMOST make me like elves is a feat beyond measure :D

This was an extremely good fanfiction. (: The first four chapters were the best, I think. I really enjoyed this. Good job!

OMG I am sooooooo SORRY about that previous review! I did NOT write that! I have a sneaking suspicion it was my sister... O.O Anyway, SORRY again! :'( Maybe time to change my password...

And on a real note: I enjoyed the writing very much, although I have to admit, I am more of an Elf-hater than an Elf lover... Oh well, keep at it ;) Love the style :)

OMG WTF DID YOU TO MY THORIN

Oh my gosh, I almost cried. I definitely did on the inside. That was so freakin beautiful! And so sad! I applaud your skills in writing. Very well done! ;)

Excellent story! I only wish it could be longer!

Well, it's not strictly canonical, but darn me if it wasn't well written and a joy to read from start to finish! I like your Tauriel - she's canny and quick, and I would have liked to hear more about the politics of the Elvenking's court that lead to her sister's being in the situation she's in. I also really like your comments on dwarf beards, which made me shiver a little bit in excitement. It fits very well with everything else we know about the dwarves, and the interaction Thorin and Tauriel have over his beard is also believable, for the book-versions of the elves, anyway, who are supposed to be merry and curious. I also really like the business with the whetstone - it was a cute tie between the two of them. Well done all around!

Unbearably beautiful.

I loved it! Very well written and it pulled a little at the heart strings (: I look forward to reading more of your stories.

Beautiful! I love the combonation! Gave Thorin such a painless death too…

I really enjoyed your story, your writing and the fact you did not change the real ending of the book. This was absolutely brilliant to me, especially the "beard touching scene"! Keep on writing, I'll be glad to read more from you! Thanks :)
