Certainly the Dwarves had hilarious names.

Nice rather-more-than-a-drabble.

The grief of the traitor....

Maglor?
I *really* need to read the Silm again.

Author Reply: :) Yes, this is Maglor! Thanks for your review Dreamflower!

This is very vivid! I can see this in my mind's eye!

Author Reply: Oh Dreamflower, what a huge compliment!!!! Thank you!

What a lovely prose-poem on Beren seeing Luthien!

Author Reply: Thanks, this drabble, well it just wanted to be written this way!

I seem to remember having seen this on LJ; I don't remember if I commented or not, but I really like this snippet. I can just see Boromir, embarassed to be in the library. I don't suppose Gondor had library fines, but I'll bet they could have used them, LOL!

Author Reply: LOL! Perhaps re-arranging all the scrolls in alphabetical order... although I think Faramir would have like that too much *grin*

I am not real familiar with The Silmarillion, not like LotR, but I do like this comparison/contrast. I am quite sure that all these linked marriages that eventually led to the ultimate outcome of Arwen from Elrond, and Arargorn, from the line of Elros, had some things fated to be in common.

That was cute! I can just see little Arwen, the artist!

Nice drabble - light-footed and airy like its subject. I don't think you spelled "Nephridil" right - it's Niphredil...

Author Reply: Now, to tell you the truth... I actually looked it up, knew that it was supposed to be Niphredil, but somehow I switched the I and E around.. The mind works in its mysterious ways, or an unruly keyboard.

As for Luthien, Tolkien described her dancing more from Beren's poit of view and how he enchanted her. I love The Lay of Leithian in HOME III (The Lays of Beleriand), so that was a big inspiration for me :)

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for leaving this kind review.

Boromir in the library - interesting concept, and not one we see too often in fanfic, unless he's looking for Faramir! I choose to believe he did take the scrolls out himself; and just became sidetracked, but it also possible that he's returning them for Faramir...Nice work!

Author Reply: Who knows why he was there? It makes you wonder what the scroll is about... especially when he quickly mentions that he didn't borrow it. But why wouldn't make Boromir use of the archive of Minas Tirith? In my perspective it can be full of maps, strategic battle plans from previous Captains and Stewards. I can tell you that this drabble, based on a real life situation, has unleashed a bunny that might be explored further. Thanks for leaving a review, I really appreciated it!
