I just love this! I do not have my copy of the LotR trilogy anymore; I lent it to a friend and despair of getting it back. *sigh* I remember this name, but can't remember exactly who Ghan-buri-Ghan is.

Now, that is wonderful, and so appropriate! Hooray!

I love the atmosphere in this--the feeling of edge and unknown despite the setting of peace. And I like the idea of these tentative connections being made in the Fourth Age--tentative, because they don't entirely dispel the old ways of thinking that caused the ban on the forest in the first place.

Author Reply: Thank you very much, Celeritas. :)

In my head, this takes place maybe a generation removed from the Ring War generation--far enough along that the ban for Men to intrude into the Forest is a given; one shouldn't even conceive of going in there!, but close enough that knowledge that the needed healing herbs grew within the woods hadn't been lost. If I ever get around to writing the backstory, I'll explore that in more detail.

I'm very glad you liked this!

Oh, very nice, and very Fourth Age! I would think the early Fourth Age must have been a wonderful time of cross-cultural openings; and Ghan-buri-ghan's herbs saving a child in Gondor is a perfect sign of those times. Good for Halmir!

Author Reply: Thank you, Raksha! I hope that if the muse gives me the backstory to write, I can keep the feel of this drabble in it. I appreciate your letting me know tht you liked it.

Your points of view are so creative. This is lovely.

Author Reply: Thank you for the lovely compliment. *blush*

I'm very happy with how this one came out, particularly as it doesn't have any canon characters in it, except by mention.

I'm glad you liked it!
