It's good see that Meril's father has come around and put his wife in her place for once. Doubt she will stay there willingly but it is a start. Meril has had to be so brave for so long since she has been so alone. More story please.

WONDERFUL CHAPTER!!! I am sorry to see Meril have to plow through this mess but ya know it'll work out (I hope) ... I think there may yet be hope for Haldir but as for Meril's family - her mother especially is going to have a long, hard road to plow before Meril ever forgives her if she ever does. I look forward to the confrontation between Meril and Minual!!!!

Sniffle, thanks for the tissues. I need them. I presume Meril's mother is going to need almost as much "help" as Haldir and Celebrian for her shameful treatment of her daughter. I am happy they will keep Meril asleep for this part of the angst and grief. More please.

Ahh! I hope Minuial is sent to come to Lorien so that Meril can give it to her! What an awful thing for a sister to do! Anyway, this was another brilliant chapter. Update soon! :o)

Gods... That was certainly hard for Meril... being betrayed by her own twin sister!
It's like Elladan makes a wicked move on Elrohir, or the other way around... it's just wrong!
I wonder now what's going to happen between her and her sister... and Elrond, what he should do?
I now I've been away, but I've never missed your updates, Sorsha! I'll wait for more!

Greetings and many congrats!

Weeping again. Very difficult to see Haldir portrayed that way. He was good, though. Very brave to tell her the things he most feared to be found out. I hope she did not hurt herself too badly in the fall. Will she be in the lake soon now?

Meril is cannier than those around her credit her for. She knew exactly the buttons to push to get through. Such a wonderful story.

I also adored this chapter - Meril has a lot of inner strength and it showed clearly here. While I adore the more major characters I've developed a growing fondness for some of the more minor charactes - especially Elrond and Celeborn particuarly after purchasing the Silmarillion and devouring it (hanky required for me!) This story gets better and better - I hope it doesn't end soon... Who knows maybe your work will wake up my sleeping Muse?

I'm really, really, really loving this story - its so well written and beautifully executed. You're being very true to the characters that we know about and giving life to some that aren't so known. It is pretty obvious to me that you love the books - all of JRRT's books - and are doing fans like me who have a hard time writing in this universe a great service in entertaining us :) I check constantly for an update - and hope that you are going to be working on this for a long time to come :) Fabulous work!!!

Elrond and Celebrian's confrontation was written so well. I do think I could have held my anger in check as long as Elrond managed. It seems probable that the Valar will grant the petition eventually. Please keep writing this; it's so beautiful.
