Author Reply: Hi Noor,

Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far! It was my first LOTR fic. *Grin* The good news is that it *is* actually finished - I just never got around to posting it here for some reason! You can read the whole thing at my website: http://rumil.shanksadelic.net/gen/everafter/prologue.html
I hope you enjoy the rest. :)

I am glad that laughter is finally able to conquer grief in this chapter. It's a lot less painful to read!

I enjoyed the Gimli-Thranduil interractions, and am lad to see another form of acceptance there.

Yet another utterly hilarious line(you're brilliant with these) :

"you should have seen his face when he realised that he, a wood-elf, was stuck in that tree."

I wonder just what it would take to make Legolas afriad of a tree...

AAAH! Plot bunny! YOU EVIL THING!

*sniffle* I love that old elven lord when he and only he can draw out that stubborn son of his.
Although why Aragorn thought that only he would miss Legolas...ah well.

I shall console myself with the happier thought that:

“I know the feeling!” He replied. “I was looking forward to a really good nights sleep when I was killed!” He smiled. “Dying really ruins your day, doesn’t it?!”

Fantastic line, shows the real maturity of elves, that they are able to laugh in the face of even death.

AI! I forgot how sad this chapter was!

I was happily laughing away at lines such as:

"Gimli - Gimli had everything possible to help him remain on the back of his small, gentle horse."

And then you go and bring this great tragedy down upon us all! It was a suitably noble death but still, did you absolutely have to kill him?

I'm being exceedingly nitpicky, sorry, but it's Iluvatar not 'Ilutivar'. Also, I thought your first paragraph was slightly awkward. The first two sentences are great, but I think you could have set the scene in stages rather than giving us all the information in one lump.

Just me, and like I said I'm being hypecritical, feel free to yell at me later!

Cathy,

She's right. Life has never, is never, and will never be fair. That aside the final line of the chapter is a real whanger! It simply begs for us to read on.

I do think you were a little excessive in your author notes at the end of the chapter. You didn't need to give so much away, we could have found that out in time. Also, stop worrying so much about flames!

Cathy...going on to read the next few chapters.

ps~ you could increase the gaps between your dialogue and the bulk sentences, it looks a little daunting at first sight. It's only on this chapter though as far as I can see.
