Fields of Gold  by Levade 5 Review(s)

Poor Glorfy! OUCH!

I think it is amusing that Glorfindel is comfy being quite the exhibitionist. He's very stubborn, too. That healer will have her hands full with him!

Thanks for another fine chapter!

Author Reply: Hi Ellie,
Ouch, yep! He kind of gets himself into those situations, doesn't he? Stubborn old elf. ;) Hopefully Bronwe has thought this over in all the years she's had and has some strategies. Thanks, Ellie!

It's just as well Glorfindel isn't body conscious.... It's to be hoped that nobody in sight of him is body conscious either - although, come to think of it, some are probably conscious of his body in Quite A Different Way!

I love gruff nautical Cirdan. And Bronwe, of course, was on hand at a very useful moment there. Mind you, I hope there was an interlude between the luxurious hot bath and the dip in the nasty cold sea. Or Cirdan needn't have bothered carrying all that water!

The damage to the plants and the plethora of jellyfish sound ominous signs of ... something. Something is afoot!

Quick. Bronwe needs to be treating those jellyfish stings. Before Glorfindel decides to heed Namo's call.

Author Reply: Ah, if only Glorfindel could have appreciated the appreciation! Then again, his hair was full of salt water and his skin was marred, so maybe not. ;)

I think we'll see this show get on the road next chapter, if the muses cooperate and we don't have any costume malfunctions. Thanks for reading and commenting, Bodkin!

You know, Daw has a good point with the Naked!Glorfindel thing. He may not have noticed that he wore nary a stitch of clothing, but we noticed and were suitably impressed. Impressed that he didn't care, really.

I love how you worked in the jellyfish stuff and his glimpse of home and the way it conflicted with duty. Nicely done.

Author Reply: Here we are again with the breach of breeches. *g* One might think it was the highlight of the chapter! Glorfindel, as you know, is a shameless creature, and I blame him for inducing the author to mix water with Naked!Glorfindel (not that it's tough).

Thank you for reading and beta'ing -- I believe we saw your Glorfindel sans clothing once in HLII as well, didn't we?? ;D For all your time and advise, mille grazie!

Ouch - poor Glorfindel! Like you, I tend not to think of jellyfish as that dangerous (though to be swimming, surounded by them, would be horrible) but I know that some (the Australian box jellyfish, for example) are very bad news :(

I like the way you introduce more and more signs that there is some great upheaval in the natural world. Great work!

Author Reply: Hi Jay,

I've never tangled with a jelly, but my brother stepped on one once and hopped around, screaming like a banshee for a good long while. His foot swelled and he had some lovely burn mark type things for a while but he survived. *g*

Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

I couldn't help but notice that Glorfindel is naked for most of this chapter. I just thought I'd point that out.

So something is wrong in Mithlond. Hm. The corruption of the natural world can't be a good thing. What's going on?

And Gildor is coming soon. He's an interesting figure. He seems to be nomadic. It's a life that's hard for me to imagine.

Author Reply: Glorfindel naked. Really? Good thing it's words and not art then, isn't it?

What is wrong will be clearer by the next chapter, I hope. Gildor is one of those people you invite to a party because they say the most unexpected things. It's never dull with him around.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Daw! The Board for the Care and Clothing of Elves will be looking into this breach of breeches, though I really think Glorfindel was perfectly happy.
