I almost fell of a chair when I saw an update! Love it! You know, I can see Eomer being grumpy and untrustworthy towards her. He is a rough and though, and sexy, and sweet and kind...ok of the topic. Great second chapter! Hey, will he teach her how to ride a horse? LOVE IT!

I always enjoy your writing.

Awesome chapter! Charlotte is so relatable! Update soon!

Me again, still thrilled about this! Hope for an update soon :)

Kindle, I can't wait to see where this story goes. I don't see enough Eomer fanfics, and I'm excited to see what a genius writer like you comes up with! You're a gem and I can't wait for the update.

I really love this story! Must say I love the realistic way in which Charlotte reacts to the whole thing and the appropriate amount of suspicion Eomer had for her. And then the cloak thing showed that he is not heartless, loved that part! Ill be following!

I remember this! still love this story!

Oh, sorry, didn't see this one.
First, I am beyond happy that you decided to continue with this amazing story! Can't even explain how happy I am.
The new way you are going here is great, even better, I like the other version also, but I can see that direction this one will go is going to be awesome!
I like Charlote better as a character. I think that the back story of her being the " knowledge" that needs to be found and how important she is to everything. All of that puts her in danger and Eomer is a pretty protective guy. God can't wait to read more! LOVE you for this!

Very enjoyable start to your story, and quite well-written, too. \(*0*)/ Although I did like the original (been a while since I've read it, so I don't remember everything, LOL), this re-write is definitely more improved - largely because of your portrayal of both the canon characters and your OC, the characterizations feel . . . Better? For a lack of better words, hehe. xD Charlotte definitely reads like a more realistically mature person.

I'm greatly looking forward to more and of seeing how you'll be developing everything, and good luck with your writing~! :D

I’m so excited for this! I love a good Eomer/OC story. I LOVE stirring the leaves so I know this is going to be great!

Interesting spin on the whole girl falls into Middle Earth troupe. Looking forward to reading more of it.

OH MY GOD YES. There is tragic little Eomer/OC stories in the fandom and I am a huge fan of Stirring the Leaves so YES. I AM DOWN FOR THIS LIKE NO ONE'S BUSINESS.

I like it. Want more, please.

This is amazing!

Recently I've been on a spree of LOTR stories that are not a Legomance (nothing against those, they just aren't my cup of tea, you know? :p), and Éomer is a character that I've always liked since I saw the films, and while Éomer/Lothíriel has become an OTP of mine recently, I couldn't help but squeal when I saw this little story coming from you, since I've read 'Stirring the leaves' a few years ago, so I knew anything coming from your hands would have a good amount of quality. And I was not dissappointed in the very least!

When it comes to GFIME stories, it's always to help with the Fellowship and most likely it was Gandalf who, choose them? Idk, while I don't see anything wrong with such a set up, taking into account that Gandalf would rather keep as many innocents as possible from such a quest, especially those that have never knew warfare (i.e. Frodo and co.), it always striked me as an odd choice if not a... rather horrible luck to be thrown in an universe where I would end up traumatized for life at the very least xD so, seeing that it was SARUMAN of all people that organized her arrival was a very good choice on my opinion! Now that he is corrupted by Sauron completely, he will obviously do anything in his power to ensure victory for their side- so bringing in a clueless girl that has no more power than the knowledge on her head (ensuring she wouldn't scape should he capture her first), not only of his mistakes but what their ENEMIES WILL DO, seems like a winning plan from team Saruman/Sauron's perspective :D kudos to you!

Now, on the chapter itself: so far, I cannot say if that I like Charlotte, not because of dislike towards her but because... it's only the first chapter xD But what I do like is how realistic she is. Most GFIME, the girl in question acts excited to meet her faves (which is not... entirely their fault? I mean, it has to do more with the ficker's reflection of her own desires, since it is a SI after all, and the fact that most of those stories are written by beginners, because nobody wants to write bad-fic), but let's face it: we would all be scared to death to wake up in some random forest with only what we have on and not only that, but having an entire welcoming party consisting of rough-looking men that speak some strange tongue and are armed to their teeth. In fact, thinking about it now, I applaud Charlotte for being so composed when questioned (as much as she can, which given her situation, is not that much), and is in fact a little sad seeing how she breaks down. And I don't even want to see how badly she'll react when she finds out her purpose in here is far more twisted than she can imagine, poor girl...

Now, let's get down to business: Éomer, our favorite Marshal :D As far as we could see in this first chapter, he is really IC given the situation: sure, he is rough around the edges and very straight to the point, and will put the safety of Rohan and his brothers and arms, but he is far more reasonable than at first glance- while Charlotte at first cannot seem like a threat to even a damn fly, her presence and the circumstances she was found by the rohirrim speaks volumes to him in his mind. To be honest, if he thought she was some kind of witch or spirits of sorts (because coughcoughgaladrielcoughcough), I wouldn't have blamed him xD Yet, he isn't some heartless warrior: Charlotte, while mysterious, is not some kind of orc in disguise waiting to gut them in their sleep, so the fact he covered her in his cape was really charming w

But even then, things are tense: their relationship hasn't started with the right foot in many senses and Éomer still suspects of Charlotte... and now that I think of it, I'm betting there will be trouble when who brought Charlotte is revealed. I will only say this (again): poor Charlotte xD

So, that's in for my review! Since I'm no expert on the english language, I cannot possibly say there are any major mistakes, I would only say there was, once? That you repeated "her her bind hands", and it's not something that a quick edit cannot resolve (besides, I'm sure this review alone has way more mistakes xD). I really, really hope to see next chapter in the near future, because like I said: you are a capable writer, and Eru knows I need more good GFIME/Éomer stories :3

Read you soon!

Hi again, nice descriptions. Also, I think that her camera may be where Saruman is. If she tends to take selfies, he'll know what she looks like, as long as an orc doesn't wear the battery down first. (giggles)
