| This is great Lindelea. I find myself wanting to know more. Author Reply: Thanks! | |

| Hooray indeed! Far away their cousin Frodo has fallen, wounded, and a ring long hidden is now destroyed; but at hand the enemy is proving itself foolish indeed. Wonderful tale, my lady! Wonderful tale! Author Reply: And I find myself thinking of another Took, half-smothered (did I say "half"?) and remembering Bilbo and the Eagles... Thanks! | |

| Ah, Lin! This was nice! A bit of what happened at home, that the ToY does not give us! It's canon of course, that Rosie felt the tenseness of the Shadow, and the sudden release of fear that came when the One went into the Fire. So I don't find it far-fetched that other hobbits, and especially Tooks, would do the same. And I like the exploration of Hilly's hostility towards Ferdi, and hope that one day we'll discover the moment it went from resentment to friendship, and how. Author Reply: Yes, it seems possible to me that especially hobbits with connexions to the Travellers might be sensitive to it without necessarily knowing why. Rosie is the example I was thinking of. And now an image of Bilbo sitting by the hearth at this same moment is niggling at me. Perhaps the Hall of Fire has been converted into an infirmary of sorts, for the care of wounded Elves, and the mood is gloomy indeed. But no time to write such things today. It must go to the back of the stove to simmer. And the moment Ferdi and Hilly became friends. Hmmm. It would have to be after the pony races in "Flames", where Hilly supported the false accusation, not knowing it was false, and the shock of realising Ferdi's innocence was enough to jar him from his complacent contempt. But guerilla-fighting the ruffians gives lots of scope for the imagination, doesn't it? Thanks! | |

| I absolutely love this, you know. So very intense, and it has such a wonderful flow, and I do love what you did with the tension, and the present tense. And the hobbits cower, pressed to the ground, and still they wait, for the Men’s assault, they think, for they can imagine no other reason for this unreasoning fear. So still are they, so taut with listening, that they feel the tremor that runs through the earth; faint it is, as if it has travelled a long journey, and then a sound like a sigh goes up from all the Woody End around them; and their hearts beat suddenly again. And that, I really love that. Author Reply: Ah, thank you. You set a very good example, you know, with your mastery of present tense in stories. Thanks for pre-reading and commenting! | |

| Nice, a sort of gap-filler to the Beregond story. Poor Beregond. But he did what he thought was best. I am happy it ended well. | |

| Ah, finally found it. Yes, a good intro to the story now being written--although I do wish to see Thain and the tale of two hard winters expanded upon, of course. | |

| Oh dear - I hope that the throat is getting better and that you are getting some sleep in, finally! Hopped over to your LJ as patience isn't in my vocabulary, (now that is a site that I really must go visit more often,)and found your story. You have GOT to get it posted here Lindelea, edited or not! I enjoyed it so much and will be checking often for that last installment! Sam is the perfect hobbit to be discussing this. He reacts with his heart and guts where Frodo, who doubtless understands the concepts more like Aragorn, would try to argue for mercy more logically. Anyway you are putting it much better than I ever could so I wull shut up and just beg for the story here. *g* (But get better first dear Lindelea. ) | |

| Poor Beregond. Eowyn and Merry disregard orders, kill the Witch King and become heroes. A soldier of the guard disregards orders, saves Faramir's life and spends the next month or so expecting to be executed. Wanting to die in battle to protect his son from what will happen to him. The law can be an ass. Author Reply: And don't I know it. One of my relatives is in criminal defence, specialising in death penalty cases, and the stories he can tell... This snippet is actually background I wrote, while working on a piece that I'm posting in my LJ, preparatory to editing the thing and posting it here. And hopefully once I've scratched the "Beregond itch" for the moment, I'll be able to turn my thoughts back to the stories-in-progress. It would be nice to think so, anyhow. Thanks! | |

| Well begun. I have always thought there could be many stories around someone who befriends strangers and is willing to lay his own life on the line for the Captain he loved. I hope you can go on. Author Reply: Actually, if you want to see the piece that this one was written as background for (not actually a scene in that piece, but referred to there, and so I had to have it clear in my mind), you can check out http://lindelea1.livejournal.com The story, "To See Justice Done", is posting in draft form there. Or you can wait until it's edited, and gets posted here. Depends on how patient you are. (Some times my readers have to be awfully patient. The Muse is a fickle creature at best. But I have great hopes of getting back to the current crop of stories by the end of the week, if all goes well.) Thanks! | |

| Aw this is great Lindelea. I always did wonder how he got to be leading that company of men. Perhaps you should call it a trickle! *g* And yes! More, more, more pleeeeese! Author Reply: Because it is getting later and I really need to give my pillow a little bit of company, poor lonely thing, please forgive me for repeating what I said in another review reply: Actually, if you want to see the piece that this one was written as background for (not actually a scene in that piece, but referred to there, and so I had to have it clear in my mind), you can check out http://lindelea1.livejournal.com The story, "To See Justice Done", is posting in draft form there.
