| Some of your stories are missing since the hack: Ashes, Darkness, Adrift, and Autumn. I hope you have backup copies and I hope you will upload them again. I still like to reread some of my favorite parts of them sometimes, and there are probably many who haven't read them yet and would enjoy them. And I've noticed a connection between "The Light is Still There" and "Stay," so I'm glad they're both still there. I always wondered why Maedhros convinced Maglor that they needed to split up after they stole the Silmarils. All they had left was each other, and I'd think they would both want to stay together. Then we find out that the reason Maedhros wanted Maglor to leave him was that he didn't want his little brother to see what he was about to do, or to try to stop him. I love the way this finally gets explained. I hope you're still watching for reviews and will get this message so you can restore all your stories if possible. And maybe write another one soon? ;) | |

| I just have to say one more thing... I love the way Maglor wakes up and there's music everywhere. BTW, I posted a couple of other very belated comments about some of your older stories, "The Brink" and "The Silence," if you're interested. | |

| Aldwen I love this story especially the last chapter which is so beautiful and which I have reread more times than I could count. I especially enjoy your portrayal of the Feanorians which has significantly contributed to my own headcanon. May I say that I'm eagerly hoping to read more of your works? Regards Leithian | |

| (It may be too late to post a comment here, but I keep rereading my favorite parts of this story, so here goes...) I love your description of Elrond as having a "kind and beautiful" spirit in spite of all the sorrow he has endured in his long life, but I would have thought it was totally out of character for him to get so angry with Maglor in a later chapter if he hadn't have felt so guilty about it afterward. At least his wife was there to help him come to terms with it. Author Reply: Thank you; I am very glad and flattered you like the story enough to reread it! :-)) It was out of character, but I think everyone, even the kindest and noblest person, has a breaking point. And it was a chance for Celebrian to give some of her thoughts on the whole situation. :) | |

| Great story but leaves a lot unresolved. | |

| I loved this story just like I love all your works related to the Feanorions. Especially since you portray then in a sympathetic manner rather as evil, soulless characters, without being apologetic either. I like Makalaurė Feanorian too and I am always sad for him lonely fate in Middle Earth. I am glad you gave him a happier ending. I have a question: why have you marked this work as AU? I could not find anything that clashed with Canon material in your story. Author Reply: Thank you so much! I am very glad you liked the story! Concerning your question - I am simply quite cautious with regards to the canon, and label everything that extends beyond the timeline of actual stories as AU. And Tolkien did write that Maglor is still wondering the coastlands of Middle-earth. But I could not leave him there. :) | |

| A wonderful, most needed reunion, and the last push toward full healing for more than just Maglor. Again, thank you for this story, one that I needed to read today. Author Reply: Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I am glad you liked it, and I do appreciate feedback: that is such an encouragement to keep writing. I am looking forward to your story when it is finished! | |

| Another moment of healing, and the contemplation of Maglor's own need for more. Lovely details. | |

| But he does not know of the abduction and the wounding she suffered. He does not realize that Elrond himself is not that long reunited with the woman he loved with all of his heart, who at last sight was fading from life herself. She does not yet tell him that she was at least as badly hurt as was he ere she came to the undying lands and found healing herself. | |
