| More good stuff with your trolls. I liked this bit of history from Granite-Glinting. Just her curiosity proved fatal for the dwarf, though he might also have died from the avalanche. "She had found a dwarf, one day, pinned under a pile of slipped rock, and poked at him with her finger until he went still and cold." I had this visualization of Gliver and Legolas looking tiny and fragile next to the mother troll thumping at her son. I loved Legolas' shooting the rock out of Stone-Water's hand I think you must have spent some time around horses to write the nipping-and-prancing scene with Ascallon and Cloudfoot. It seemed very authentic. Then I loved the healer putting a blanket over the exhausted elf. Poor Legolas has been through the wringer, but again you give it a light touch. Very nice. ~TF Author Reply: Rose hands TF a bunch of spring flowers from her garden. White daisies with blue middles sourrounding sixteen overblown red roses scented like grandma's talcum framed by sprays of leggy cream mock-orange smelling so sweet they make you sneeze. Tucked among them sticks of violet lavender, like a handful of candles, and one enormous sunflower curling into yellow life; because you brighten my day. Thanks. | |

| Thank you for your reply. I was at Eternal, which is now down. (See, you actually helped me out :-)Now I may continue with this tale.... The bonds of friendship shown here are strong. The troll trying so hard to help his pet was fun. I had to laugh that his last "piggy" was squished! The image of a different drawf on horse back was super. He might take a step in a week or two...I can only imagine. It was so touching that Legolas fell asleep next to Gimli, his rock . Thank you again for all of your hard work. You are giving me many hours of enjoyment. Mina Sedh, Hisie Lome Author Reply: Thanks, I am glad you were able to find this on SOA - which is my favorite non-slash archive! Great fiction and very friendly people and processes- including this clever review/reply bot. I am glad you like my OC's as well as my take on L/G - hope you continue to enjoy. Rose | |

| Beautiful job! You pull on our heartstrings without becoming maudlin. I loved the cave trolls, especially in their interaction with Legolas. I was so afraid he'd come in and slaughter them both. You made me care what happened to them. Poor Gimli. I can't wait to see how you wrap this up. Author Reply: Those trolls just wormed their way into my heart. Its hard to dismiss a race once you have thought a bit about their culture and history, and even young Wargs are probably cute! And the elf is famous for being both broad minded and noble, I am glad he didn't have to kill them either! Thanks for your kind words Ch8 soon. Rose | |

| Gimli getting captured by Cave Trolls is really original. It's not like the standard captured-by-orcs fare of fanfic--the poor baby cave troll doesn't know that "Mossy" is hurt and needs care, or that he's not a pet. I love the Cave Troll names, too. The Legolas-Gliver interaction is also great, the way their respect for each other grows and Gliver understands exactly how much Legolas loves Gimli. And the end of the chapter is so touching in a very understated way. More please! Author Reply: More coming, and a sequel, although I must admit I think I used up all my original ideas in this story Thanks for the support. Rose | |
