Laureanna always knows which twinn is which, very nice. It was mean of Elrohir to send Elladan hunting while he had planned a nice picnic with Laureanna. Typical of Elrohir though.

Poor laureanna, having to kill that person. Elrohir and her in the cabin as she fell asleep, I think he is starting to care to her.

Very nice, please update soon...

Author Reply: Thanks =) Elrohir had to trick Elladan since he wasn't giving up lol He's not a bad guy - just a little stubborn.

I'm working on the next chapter and so far, its going well.

YAY! ANOTHER CHAPTER!! Wow Alassante... great writing and so worth the wait! I love the past/present writing style... makes it a tad confusing after a year (nothing a re-read of the prev. chapter won't fix!) but it's neat to see them courting each other then and now. Even though he's not really courting her now, but I love how his fea KNOWS... what a wonderfully tortureous trip you have us on! LOL

I can't imagine being in Laurie's Place... knowing him as her husband and meeting him single and different... the secrets and insecurities... Makes the mind boggle. I can't wait to see how this all ends up (bookverse I would hope! LOL) and if she will continue to exist...? Well, she's already changed her history so I guess she still will... oh Time is SO CONFUSING!!

And I liked the Dream with Arwen. Poor Laurie is being put thru the Valar wringer, isn't she? LOL

Looking forward to more chapters in the Very Near Future! :D

Author Reply: I'm glad it was worth the wait. I felt so rusty and it was good to get this chapter done so I can keep going. The Paradox is confusing. Sometimes I have to think twice about things lol But if you remember the Valar altered her existance to prevent her from disappearing if she changed her future/her parents' past.

Ah! We've been waiting a good deal for this, after all! And now the romance is opening gently, like the glorious bloom it is, as he realizes he loves her, and as she loves the one ellon she's ever loved in her lifetime, even if it is before their time--so far.

Author Reply: Even though he's impossible - she knows its worth it. :)

Battle scenes are extremely hard to write because, while watching action on the screen is very exciting, reading about hack and slash is very repetitive and therefore uninteresting. I think the way you handled this battle scene was very well done--it was fascinating to see L's reaction to something she was seeing for the first time. And putting her in the position to actually have to kill someone! That part was extremely well done.

I also like how the backflash in the beginning where we see E2 jokingly competing over L meshes/contrasts with how Elladan is helping them come together in this different time. You use these flashbacks well.

And of course I liked the end! :-)

Author Reply: Yeah my first run at the battle was very 'stab' 'stab' 'stab' . lol I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for the beta. *hugs*

Oh! My! Gosh! I almost fell over backwards when I saw you updated!!!! This chapter was very real in a way that I almost felt I was there with them, I cannot imagine the outcome of all this, so I will wait patiently for you to continue. PS I loved it!

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm so glad :) I was so scared to write the battle that I'm glad it wasn't a flop. lol

Oohh ... at last! At times I feel like kicking Elrohir - which isn't fair, because he doesn't *know* he loves Laureanna in another time. He needs to listen to his heart, not his head!

Author Reply: In all fairness - he warned her it wouldn't be easy to win his heart again. lol But she did it once, so she *should* be able to do it again.

There are a number of interesting, well-written stories on this site (and others) that I have started to read and enjoy, only to discover they have been abandoned by the author. I was more than a little upset thinking that this was one of them, since I only read it about a month ago.

I was THRILLED to see the update alert today! WoooHooo! I'm so glad you found your muse again, because I love this story. Thank you for continuing it...I am looking foward to more.

*Running back to reread it again from chapter 1*

Author Reply: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm rolling on the next chapter already so hopefully the muse is sticking around. :)
