Indis deserves some happiness, I am not so sure she would go back to Finwe if and when he is released, we know Miriel won't be!

I am not so sure that Indis would return to Finwe if he came back. He acted very selfishly all along and never seemed to truly consider what his actions might do to Indis and her children.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

That was very sweet and so enjoyable. :) I have always felt for Indis. It feels good that she - and her dedicated hero - find solace and love together.

But, I am even happier that you addressed some of the difficlties that could arise later and included the patriachs' reaction. The ladies would have immediately understood and sympathized, me thinks if not their men. But, the flabbergasted guys needed a just a little nudge toward acceptance.

A real treat!

The guys did need help with accepting that Indis should be allowed to find happiness again. Elven society seems so patriarchical that the women get left behind or their feelings and needs get left out of the plans fo the scheming males. Indis deserved to find happiness and to be loved as she so selflessly loved Finwe.

Thansk so very much for reading and reviewing!

And I rejoice these two lords have accepted the love they've seen expressed between Indis and Huoro, and will not condemn her for it. A most tender and thought-provoking tale!

The accpetance was gruding, but they couldn't deny what the ladies were telling them which was that Indis was very happy now and the soruce of that happiness should be nurtured. The guys are very protective of her, but I think they realies that they can let someone else protect her and love her as well.

Thanks so very much for reading and reviewing!

A wonderful, unusual love story! Ah, yes--the desired action made--at long, long last.

Poor Huoro, loving one denied him for so long, and at last knowing she has shown herself capable of caring for him!

Author Reply: This has been an interesting story to write. I haven't seen a story like this one in fandom before and I felt Indis deserved something like this.

thanks for reading and reviewing!
