This was a fabulous story. I loved it!

By Parf Edhellen, annon allen is a better Sindarin word for thank you than le hannon, which was created for the movies.

That was beautiful. Utterly wonderful, and so moving.

This is excellent! Very realistic! Funny, too.

I kinda ship Penny and Halbarad. But he dies...

Very cool story so far, nice premise

If I were to say one thing though, I think that anyone not speaking English should have their speech italicized, just so that it's a reminder that they're speaking a different language. Quite a few times — to me at least — it seems as if they're talking in the same language, and I have to remind myself that it's not.

What an iconic fanfic. Still being recommended nearly twenty years later - to people who weren't even born yet when it was written!

This is an absolutely wonderful fic, i would be very excited about a sequel

The way you describe someone's world slipping between the fear of hallucinations is painfully accurate. Good work, might have to stop reading because of it, but good work.

I can't, lmao! And, this is just the begenning of the chapter, hahaha! I'm realy loving this story, and while yes, I know that this is from years ago, I can't help but still leave a comment because this is just really good.

And, goddamn, I wasn't even born yet, when it was written. Dang, it's so hard to find these kinds of stories so I'm really, really thankful that I found this.

I barely caught the title as a rec off a group. SO glad I did! THIS is more realistic of the “what if I was sent to LOTR” than the PWP/PWOP stories out there.(Yes, the ones you’ve made fun of. I agree.)
Now I’m going to check for the sequel! Thank you for writing this!

I'm glad he threatened her she was getting annoying.

A beautifully marvelous story that has been written incredibly well, and had me so invested from the first chapter, from the first time she and Halbarad met, that I binged it in one night because it was too fantastic to stop. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful work!

You know, this is one of the masterpieces of the fandom. But I was looking for this today and somehow... you never marked this as complete.

You should post this to AO3, if you haven't already.

no matter how many times I re read this story I always cry when reading this chapter. The simplicity of Penny’s words as she explains what is really going on is very powerful. Thank you for such a beautiful story ️
