To Become A Queen by Madeleine	8 Review(s)

Poor Eomer! How you tortured him--always interrupted at the most critical moment. Loved how Lothy admitted what she felt about his attentions. I appreciate Elfhelm's presence here. Loved Erchirion's comment about Amrothos extending his stay in Rohan, Eomer's unconventional way of silencing Eothain and of course the whole "cleft" dialogue. Amrothos is entertaining as usual: “Indeed,” Amrothos found it necessary to support his sister. “It is called the cleft between the buttocks.” It's great that Imrahil also participated in it. The Dol Amroth folks sure are interesting. Lothy could not have had a better intro to the Mark as her treatment of Eothain.

Yay, another installment! I must say, I really want to strangle your Elphir :-P I wonder what's got his knickers in a wad. I do love your portrayal of Lothiriel's brothers, though, with their varying personalities. And it's nice to see that Lothiriel still gets to be healer in Rohan. Eothain's antics are hilarious, and the way Eomer deals with it is very fitting for the culture of Rohan ;-) Great chapters, though the men seem to be ganging up on poor Lothiriel. Please update soon! Author Reply: Don't worry about Lothíriel; she know how to fight back. After all, three brothers provide a quite marvellous education.

Lothiriel was very brave to admit that she finds Eomer's presence confusing - and yet wants more of it! She's done better at admitting her feelings than Eomer has. Of course, Amrothos doesn't take quite as much pleasure in interrrupting her! She hasn't realised how proud Eomer is of her, though. Eomer just gleams with delight at showing off her talents. And Elphir isn't showing himself off very well. I expect Imrahil is pleased that Amrothos managed to avoid spitting ale down his neck in his reaction! Perhaps Elphir and Eothain should get together - they might not have much in common except for disgust at having Lothiriel working as a healer, but it's a start. I like Berenwald - he's just the right sort of healer for a bunch of orc-fighting Rohirrim. Lothiriel's reaction to the burning is so understandable. And, of course, gave Eomer an excellent opportunity to comfort her! Even if it was in the presence of the High King. A delightful chapter - with two people who really need to get that wedding ceremony out the way. Before they burst! Author Reply: It must be difficult for both of them. They met only very few times, they are drawn to each other but both are still uncertain about the nature of the feelings of their soon-to-be spouse. And perhaps even about the genuiness of their own emotions.

I've only a minute before I have to get off this computer, but I wanted to tell you quickly how much I've enjoyed this story. You've done a marvelous job with characterization. Love Lothíriel's brothers. Every single character has a distinct personality. This has been such a pleasure to read. Author Reply: I'm very glad that you like the way I portrayed the Lothíriel and her family. I really wanted to give all three brothers an individual character, especially Erchirion, who gets often neglected in fanfiction.

this was probably my favorite chapter of this story. you do have a way with you in causing suspense by ending a chapter when the tension is the greatest. that's what makes you so popular a writer. well, this chapter tells me that Eomer is clearly not to messed with. you can tell he has this "don't mess with me" attitude when at the beginning he changes his tone from seductive to sharpness, and later he displays his sarcasm, heavy on the victim as they feel it. it's a wonder Lothiriel didn't collapse from the strain of his penetrating glare and her weariness combined. but, it's nice to know that she and Eomer made up eventually, i would have screamed at you if you kept them mad at each other yet at the same time long for each other's caresses. but, finally, i liked the part when it mentions that the door closed and Lothiriel heard the awful sound of Eothain screaming from the pain and agony as the iron made contact with his skin. it's also funny to know that she can't do anything about it even though i suspect that she wanted to burst back into the room and comfort the victim of agony. and, in the end, Eomer told Lothiriel about his true feelings about her, and their supposed "privacy", because Amrothos pops up out of nowhere and scares both of them to death. it was quite clever of Lothiriel to retreat into her bedchamber to avoid the must-be violent argument between her brother and her betrothed, and to take a well-deserved and long waited for bath. aahhhhhh, life is good. would you do me a favor and visit my website in which i have recently constructed, http://www.councilofelrond.com/members/LadySaruman/ and tell me how it was by signing my guestbook? nobody has seen it yet, because i have been updating it and keeping my friends waiting. well, if you would actually be sweet enough to view this website and sign my guestbook then you would be a great friend to me, and you would be the first to see my website (unless some members of www.councilofelrond.com have accidentally stumbled upon my website. Thnx for writing a great chapter!!!! IF you do hopefully visit my website and find it good, well, then you have done good things for a person who considers that this means a lot to her. if you didn't like my website, then i'm sorry for wasting minutes of your life. but if you happen to sign my guestbook, then plz do so honestly. i really don't like it when people hate something and cover it up by substituting in a compliment. just tell me the truth, and i'll be happy whether you hated it or not!!!!!! With my sincerest apologies for making this review so long, Lady Saruman ^_~ Author Reply: Well, I think Éomer and Lothíriel are more annoyed than scared by Amrothos's untimely appearance. On the other hand that brother of hers would probably insist upon that his timing is just perfect. (And it's just two more days to go until the wedding.) I've had a look at your website. Beautiful wallpaper btw. But I couldn't leave a message in your guestbook. It's for members only.

This chapter has to be one of my favourites out of all your stories--the wordplay, actions, humour, and sexual tension between Eomer and Lothiriel just make this particular chapter a delight to read from start to finish! I noticed that on Open Scrolls your visual inspiration for Lothiriel was the late Audrey Hepburn and, I must say, that having the image of her in my mind when I read your stories just made the character come to life even more.I could almost hear Audrey Hepburn's voice---and, of course, Eomer would find her the most beautiful woman he had laid eyes on! I just want to let you know that I have printed out your entire stories for me to read at leisure.I hope you don't mind, but they are much better that many books that I have read and I'm not in the habit of reading romances! Your Eomer and Lothiriel are both irresistable and, as Daw pointed out, Eomer is HOT! Looking forward to your next story! Ali. Author Reply: Yes indeed, I think somebody like Éomer would like the type of woman Audrey Hepburn represented: delicate, but not short; a beautiful and unforgettable face. And quite exotic for Rohan. I can understand that you've printed out some stories. It's still much more pleasant to read from paper instead of the PC screen.

I cringed at the painful surgery. I would want to be neither the healer nor the patient. Lothiriel is very strong indeed. And Eomer is hot. Author Reply: Medieval medicine has become a hobby-horse of some kind for me. It's fascinating how much the people of the so called "Dark Ages" actually knew. But no possibility of anaesthesia, I'm afraid.

Immer diese Störungen, wenn es gerade interessant zu werden beginnt! grummel “No, I am afraid he did not see reason,” her father replied dryly. “Actually, he did see a fist. Or rather he did not see the fist before it was too late.” lol Das hast Du wunderschön ausgedrückt! Elphir hingegen ... irgendwie erweckt er den Eindruck, daß er seine Schwester am liebsten auf einem Podest und unter Glas hätte, damit nichts und niemand an sie herankommt. Er übertreibt es wirklich mit seinen Bedenken. Éothain ist nicht gerade ein einfacher Patient, aber Éomer wußte ja gut mit ihm umzugehen eg Auf jeden Fall war die OP interessant und gut beschrieben. Und der Schluß war wieder mal typisch, wenn man bedenkt, was Lothíriel da so denkt lol Author Reply: Ich habe die Rohirrim immer als eine Volk gesehen, dass sehr geradeaus und direkt ist. Éomers Methode, Lothíriels Forderung, dass nämlich Éothain sich nicht länger bewegen solle, umzusetzen, war nichts anderes als direkt. Einfache Probleme erfordern einfache Lösungen. Ich komme bald noch einmal betr. der Pferde auf Dich zurück. Bis dann!
