*is busy preparing several boxes of kleenex for the inevitable*

As we inch nearer to the end of this tale, I am drawn further and further into it, and can not bring myself to fully accept that it must end. *shakes head sadly*
Ah, but what beautiful memories we will all have! Very well done with these two chapters!

Gaaaahhhh!!! All of those chapters that I had missed...the hours of bordom that could have been prevented. *sigh*

Lovely, lovely chapters! These two are wonderfully suited for one another (who wants an Elvish prince anyway, right?), and I really REALLY hope that there is a way for Annowe to either join him in Valinor, or for him to stay in ME. The passion between these two is soooo strong. I can't even imagine what it would be like for them to be parted...especially now that they've bonded.

Oh, I can't wait for your next update. I'm anxious to meet Tom and Goldberry. Hopefully, they'll be able to share some insight on the situation that will make things easier for Haldir and Annowe.

Fabulous job! Keep up the great work!

More and more questions....But I am sure that you will answer them all. Those two are so connected...but she has to make the decision...
I like that you have brought in so many aspects of Middle-Earth...I am looking forward to the meeting with Tom and Goldberry.

*sigh*

Isn't it sad and ironic? Here we see Haldir, who says he has never felt this happy and complete in thousands of YEARS. Yet this happiness comes at the price of dreading every day now, even every minute that passes. An elf with no concept of time now feels every second running through his fingers like sand through the hourglass. That is so very sad...

*sighs again*

On a lighter note: May I say, my dear, that you are probably the only person who can put Haldir and Marvin Gaye in one sentence, let alone one mental image? I had a quick look at a certain site (didn't have much time, but promise to have a more thorough look some other day) and the Marvin Gaye bit totally cracked me up. You are one crazy, wonderful and adorable chicken, lol! :D

Have a great week, Sandra

You once again managed to outdo yourself and this story gets even more beautiful with each chapter. The way you described that ultimate binding, not just a physical one, but a spiritual one... when I read that this thought suddenly crossed my mind and I thought, this is what it must be like - perfect love, the one that has to individuals melt into one. You caught that perfectly and put it into this beautiful picture before my eyes of waves rising higher and higher against each other only to become one.

And then there is that last passage and when I read it I realized this must be it, this must have been the last time they have been together like that. There is a finality to it and so I wait and hold my breath to see them moving towards the end and I think my little heart is already preparing to break when the end comes at last, because I somehow now in my heart, there will not be a happy ending, only a bittersweet one at best. But I also know that whatever ending you choose, it will be a worthy one just as this story has been.

And I can only once again return the thanks, the pleasure has been all mine, dear. You and this story have been an extraordinary gift and delight, an inspiration.

I actually dread the day when this story is over, those characters and the entire story really have wormed their way into my heart. Seeing this story end will be like letting go of a dear friend. :)

How terribly sweet and sad and wonderful! You continue to out do yourself with each coming chapter! Keep up the very excellent work, and tell that March Warden that I will gladly help you to put him back into his place! *wicked grin*

@ Vi:

HA! So it WAS you after all, lol! *waves right back* You meet MCers in all the right places. *grins* I even think that Sivan Semesh from the MC yahoo group posts her stuff here (or used to at least). Have a great weekend and enjoy "Remember how to smile" once the girls start posting! :) /shredder
