To Become A Queen by Madeleine	6 Review(s)

Loved how Eomer could ruffle Elphir's feathers without even trying and as usual, enjoyed all of Amrothos' lines again. Loved the scene when he slid off her glove; when he interrupted her bath and when he laced up her gown--so sexy! It's nice to read how complementary Lothy's personality is with Eomer's and how they can work well together for Rohan.

“But right now I feel that the quick and painless death that hemlock provides would be too good for Elphir.” Poor Elphir. Mind you, he does need a certain amount of torment! He is letting the family down - the rest of them might be quirky, but they are all intelligent! Elphir would be lucky to measure up as a moron at the moment. If he only realised that Eomer and Lothiriel only need to be in sight of each other for the temperature to rise some twenty degrees! A glimpse of her leg!! I'm surprised Eomer's hands remained steady! A good moment for Imrahil to intervene and bring them both back to the present. But it only took the sight of blood to overcome propriety and return her to healer mode! Eothain (the idiot) should be glad of that - but I don't know that he will be too impressed. Merewyn seems a lot younger than Lothiriel - but I suppose she has led a very different life and 17 to 20 is a big gap. And, then, things aren't always what they seem at first. And, just when we think Lothiriel is going to bathe away the dust of the journey, there at the door is Eomer. Looking at her. And asking for her help. And LACING UP HER GOWN. Oh my. I'm not surprised she turned into jelly and allowed her mouth to do her thinking for her! This relationship is just .... the best! Author Reply: Yes, poor Elphir. This one of Imrahil's offspring has to take the rap for my dislike of an acquaintance of mine (one I would rather not be acquainted with at all). I always try to find some real live models for my characters. So if one of my cousins is going to take up reading fanfiction one day, she might find herself personified as Merewyn, including the mop of hair and the untamable tongue. But there aren't any real life models for Lothíriel and Éomer. They are too good to be real. Or, as Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing) would put it: they are "too costly to wear everyday."

oh my, you are carrying it overboard. i didn't know that eomer's sexual desire was that strong. it was soooo suggestive, and i like the part when you said that eomer taking off lothiriel's glove was what he would like to do with the rest of her clothes... haha LOL plz update soon! and i'm sorry about my mistake, its the 5 story. and mula means money, not much people know what it means either. Lady Saruman ^_^ Author Reply: I love the old films in which the leading ladies - like Lauren Bacall or Veronica Lake - were able to set the screen on fire simply by removing their gloves. They were my models for this scene.

Ah, was für ein Auftakt! Elphir übertreibt es wirklich – was hat er eigentlich erwartet, was passieren könnte, mit ein paar hundert Zeugen dabei?!? Ich fange an, Amrothos richtig zu mögen – er greift auch immer im richtigen Moment ein! Unterhaltsam waren auch die etwas zweifelhaften Komplimente, die Merewyn Lothíriel gemacht hat. Die Rohirrim sind wirklich ein sehr direktes Volk! Eigentlich hätte Éomer genausogut Aragorn bitten können, sich um Éothain zu kümmern. Der ist schließlich auch ein Heiler, und mit mehr Erfahrung als Lothíriel obendrein. Hat Éomer da nur eine Gelegenheit gesucht, seine Zukünftige zu sehen, oder wollte er ihr damit zeigen, daß sie durch ihre Heirat ihre Berufung als Heiler nicht aufgeben müssen wird? Irgendwie hätte ich erwartet, daß Elphir an dem Punkt einen Riesenaufstand macht, daß Aragorn das machen müsse. Naja, vermutlich haben ihm Imrahil und seine anderen Söhne den Mund gestopft ;-) Author Reply: Eines meiner Lieblingsthemen: Aragorn ist KEIN Heiler; er ist der König mit den Händen eines Heilers. Seine Fähigkeiten sind Teil seines Erbes, und zwar in einem metaphysischen Sinne. Außer, dass er Gimli einmal erste Hilfe leistet - und zwar auf dem Niveau eines entsprechenden Kurses für den Führerschein Klasse 3 - heilt er stets nur in Verbindung mit Athelas, einer ansich völlig nutzlosen Pflanze, die widerum nur in Verbindung mit den metaphysischen Kräften des legitimen Thronerben wirkt. Bisher hat mir auch noch niemand, mit dem ich diese Problematik diskutiert habe, eine Stelle in einem der Werke Tolkiens zeigen können, indem ausdrücklich betont wird, dass Aragorn eine Ausbildung als Heiler erhalten hat. Und chirugische Fähigkeiten liegen kaum in der DNA. Das mag jetzt alles Interpretationssache sein, doch für meine Stories gilt: Aragorn kümmert sich um den "Black Breath"; die gelernten Heiler um den Rest. Es ist auch besser, dass jemand eine Pfeilspitze aus dem Lendenwirbelbereich entfernt, der das nicht nur als Nebenjob macht.

I am a bad, bad worker bee. I'm reading this in my office. It's so, so good. Well, if you were compared to a horse, then you knew for certain that you had arrived in Rohan. And you were as well to take it as a compliment if you were, on top of everything, compared to a rare breed of horse. This made me laugh. You are so good with these cultural things. And also with sexual tension. Have I mentioned that before? It just crackles off the page here. Author Reply: That with the sexual tension is quite amazing, considering that at least one of our couple is not really certain what this is all about.

"Well, if you were compared to a horse, then you knew for certain that you had arrived in Rohan. And you were as well to take it as a compliment if you were, on top of everything, compared to a rare breed of horse." Oh, how wonderful! That's the perfect description and I could just hear her tone of voice. I'm really enjoying the dialogue and characterization in this one. Author Reply: Personally I wouldn't mind being compared to a beautiful horse. Perhaps Lothíriel will get used to it.
