Great story. I really enjoyed reading Eomer’s point of view. And Hubba Hubba to their first time together.

Lothy and Eomer's dialogue in this chapter had me in stitches! Her comparison and previous experience/knowledge of the act was so funny, esp. the ones of the tortoises. The foot massage was a splendid touch. Her reaction to his arousal was very comical and I re-read it a number of times. Enjoyed this story very much and I'll never get tired of saying that about your work.

I got part of my chapters confused. The review on the previous chapter should have said how I blushed when Lothiriel cursed Amrothos during the wedding ceremony (and the comment about warming her feet belonged in this review). Having said that, I cannot tell you how many times I have been sitting in my car at a drive in restaurant and laughed out loud while reading your fics. The people there probably think I'm crazy! But there is so much fun and joy in them, while you still get on with serious and sometimes thought provoking issues. I noticed you posted your first several fics much faster than your current Work In Progress. I hope that's not a sign you are losing interest in writing. It would break my heart to find these great stories and then have to give them up!

This has been a delightful story, Madeleine. I'm sorry to see it end, but I read somewhere along the way that you plan to go on with the story. I'm truly looking forward to the sequel. There are far too many things I liked about the story and about your style of writing to list, so let it suffice to say, I've loved reading it. Thanks for sharing this with us. Karen Author Reply: Yes, I have quite a few idea what is going to happen to those two after the wedding. I think they should live up to their shared reputation of being stubborn. I hope there is going to be another story soon.

I have been putting off reviewing this, because I really didn't want this story to end! I love seeing this part through Eomer's eyes. It rounded the whole thing off beautifully. And Lothiriel's babbling about giant tortoises was delightful and endearing - as was his understanding of her nerves. And good on you for drawing a veil over their - er - activities. Aragorn was wicked to make sure that everyone knew when Eomer left the feast and see that he had to bear the teasing. But what did he expect? And I am really looking forward to seeing how Eomer will revenge himself. If he even remembers that he needs to revenge himself by the time he has got over the shattering effects of his wedding night. Superb story - and part of a wonderful sequence of tales. May you never weary of writing about Eomer and Lothiriel and their most interesting families. Author Reply: I thought it was important to change to Éomer's perception, so now WE know the point of view of both. But only WE have a deeper insight into the thoughts and feelings of those two. They only have just comrehended that they love each other, but there are so many uncertainties and so much ignorance, simply for the reason that they hardly know each other. The near future will be paved with more than just one misunderstanding.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!! The story ended! What am I going to do? Anyways, that was quite a good story you’ve written here. It's really amazing how you manage to update every few days and write so much every chapter. Did I ever mention that I love your Lothíriel? You are the only one who is able to portray her correctly so that she matches her name. Other writers, both on this site and not, always describe her as a rather bold (well, I mean large and unladylike, not at all delicate) and large woman, which does not seem right at all. However, you made her personality and form suit her name. The name Lothíriel does remind someone of a delicate something, and Lothíriel is delicate and quite pretty. It was funny because Éomer's desire for his new wife kept increasing, while the new queen of Rohan kept thinking that humans making love would be something like how animals do it. That is surprising, because according to Aragorn, she is a very intelligent person and converts facts to conclusions. So I guess she hypothesized that humans would mate the same way that her aunt’s giant tortoises do. Oh well, at least she liked it in the end and Éomer finally content because his wife finally admitted her love to him. Okay, since this story has ended, do you plan on continuing the series or are you going to write concerning other people? A big hug for all the great work you’ve done for us readers. -Lady of Isengard ^_~ sorry if i posted two times. i pressed post and then i realized i forgot my email address and penname. Author Reply: Well, Lothíriel isn't that wrong, is she? Her stress was on basically and BASICALLY the mating habits of the mammals are all alike. Don't forget the human is nothing but another mammalian breed - and certainly not the most pleasant of all species on Earth. There will be a sequel soon.

Eomer shows up very well in this chapter. He's kind, considerate, loving, and clever. And that's all to the good because Lothiriel is so innocent and their declartion of love is recent and possibly fragile. They each need to believe the other means it. Author Reply: It is not so much that they have to believe that the other loves him or her. The problem is rather that - so far - their love is the only common ground they share. But a good marriage is meant to be worked on.

Ah, ich sehe, Éomer beginnt zu verstehen, wie Lothíriel sich bei der ganzen Sache gefühlt haben muß. Er ist halt doch ein helles Köpfchen. Wie fies, den armen Bräutigam so hartnäckig aufzuhalten, damit er nicht zu seiner frisch angetrauten Liebsten kommt! Wo er es doch gar nicht mehr erwarten kann! Gimlis und der Hobbits Probleme mit der Schwangerschaftsdauer der Menschen waren ein netter Weg, die Rede abzuwenden. Weißt Du was? Ich bin nachgerade überrascht, daß die zwei so weit gekommen sind, ohne daß irgendjemand sie gestört hat – nicht mal das „menace on two legs“ (nette Bezeichnung!). So wie das bisher gelaufen ist, erwartet man unwillkürlich die nächste Störung! Wie nett, daß man ihnen offenbar wenigstens eine ungestörte Hochzeitsnacht gönnt! Die hast Du übrigens sehr schön beschrieben, Lothíriels Nervosität, dieses langsame Herantasten aneinander, ihre Reaktion aufeinander ... Nun sehe ich dem nächsten Teil erwartungsvoll entgegen, und natürlich dem überfälligen Gespräch! Author Reply: Es hat Dich überrascht, dass die beiden nicht gestörrt wurden? Das ist ja wunderbar. Eine Story soll ja nicht zu vorausschaubar sein. Aber ich fürchte diese Störung hätte Amrothos nun wirklich nicht überlebt. Aber er wird etwas später doch noch auftauchen - sozusagen. Und Éomer wird auch sehr bald feststellen, dass ein Gespräch mit Lothíriel nicht immer - oder eher selten - so abläuft, wie er das sich vorgestellt hat. Ich schreibe auch schon wieder - trotz Klausuren und dicker Birne von einer Erkältung - am nächsten Teil. Dann also - hoffentlich - bis bald.

I've been waiting for this chapter to be posted here so that I could review it, because ff.net will not let me fix the review feature over there. This is such a lovely chapter! I applaud you for ending it where you did, although I admit I was a bit surprised at first. I'm glad we get to see Eomer's point of view, and I'm thrilled Lothiriel managed to tell him she loves him. He really needed to hear that, I think. The foot massage was sweet; I love how Lothiriel did not know what she was doing to him when she swung her feet into his lap. Likewise, the giant tortoise conversation was hilarious-I can just hear Eomer's voice squeaking when he heard her say that. Thank you for this lovely story, and I am definitely looking forward to more! Good luck on your exams! ~El Author Reply: Thanks for your good wishes on my exams. I sat the first last Monday but there is another one approaching next week. About the Story Having reassured each other of their love they have laid the foundation for their marriage. But as on every building site things are not going to run smoothly all the time.
