Bear Me Away!  by Armariel 2 Review(s)

“I don’t doubt he can ride a horse,” Bilbo said. “But it hardly makes him husband material.”

That is one deep hobbit!

I just love the idea of squiggly hair becoming a fashion statement among all the young elves. And their mothers cursing the name of hobbits - and of Galendur. Who might find himself with a career in Hair.

The mosaic sounds most beautiful - but the sound of a despairing cry, the howl of someone who has just lost all he had striven so long and hard to gain, the sound of utter defeat gives a lovely edge to its creation. And old Olorin, huh? That could be an interesting relationship!

Lyrien is a poppet. I like the hobbit doll. Which could become another fashion.

Author Reply: For a bachelor, Bilbo's got the right idea, I would say! Acting like a daddy. Guess looking after Frodo taught him a few things about parenting. The elf-mothers should be thankful hobbits never went in for body piercing! Galendur might become quite a successful hairdresser, at that. Doubt that Tilwen would go for it, however! I imagine hobbit dolls will become the rage as well.

Wonder if I'm the first non-slash writer who ever provided Gandalf with a mate? If anyone else has, I've yet to see it!

Thanks so much for reviewing--I greatly value your comments!

You matchmaker, you! The Maia and the former dark elf! Love the mosaic.

Author Reply: Just can't resist tying a few knots, can we! ;);) The mosaic was inspired by some paintings I've seen, although I didn't try to reproduce them exactly. Perhaps there will be another soon, well let's hope so.

Thanks so much for r&r!
