| I never read a Smaug drabble, but I liked this one! Author Reply: Either have I, so I was very pleased to have a Smaug muse come and nip me. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! | |

| Very well-written, and that's coming from a person who is not a huge Boromir fan. Author Reply: Boromir has his moments in FOTR. I'm always pleased when the Boromir-muse gives me inspiration, since he's not a character with whom I have much affinity. | |

| A less than perfect Arwen makes a refreshing change Raksha. Author Reply: I much prefer Arwen as a flesh-and-blood creature who would occasionally, despite wisdom, experience annoyance and resentment. Thanx for the review! | |

| Dragon-rearing is such hard work! I'm not surprised that Smaug's mother has to be firm with him - the last thing you want is a spoiled child! Author Reply: Especially one that's going to grow up to be the size of a house and have a flame-thrower in his respitory system! Still, I'm sure Readfah was up to dealing with Smaug's growing pains. Thanx for reading and reviewing! | |

| Poor Boromir. It's hardly surprising he didn't fall over himself to express his joy at the appearance of an heir to a thousand-year empty throne. Although to Arwen, of course, a thousand years isn't much - and Aragorn's right to it is beyond question. Nice point of view! Author Reply: Arwen may not have expected the Steward's heir to fawn over the lost king, but I think Boromir's refusal to acknowledge Aragorn's right to the kingship must have bothered her. After all, she and the rest of the house of Elrond had been fostering Heirs of Isildur for millenia, a sort of cottage industry, and considered Aragorn's claim irrefutable. And of course, poor Boromir might not have expected, after that exhausting journey, to have to deal with an upstart Northern Ranger claiming his patrimony. Thanx for the review! | |

| The different pace of their aging must have been difficult. And, of course, it is much more acceptable to be male and older - 'distinguished' - than female and older, even for the Witch King's nemesis. But Faramir is tenacious - and would never even notice the flirting of the younger women. He is devoted to Eowyn - and so her jealousy is eased. Author Reply: How did I miss this review? Sorry, and thanx for leaving it. Yes, the latter years of the marriage, as Eowyn aged faster, would have given the couple some problems. And you're right; Faramir is very tenacious, and would continue to show Eowyn how much he loves her. | |

| I love the exchange of scars - and Lothiriel's discussion with Eowyn was probably very educational ... provided she could remember it beyond the headache she will have had in the morning. I like to think of Eowyn and Lothiriel being good friends - each, after all, had in her care someone who mattered a lot to the other. Author Reply: Yikes, I missed replying to you, Bodkin! Sorry. Thanx for reading and reviewing. I think Lothiriel might have remembered at least part of the conversation, at least I hope so, LOL! I think she would have respected Eowyn enormously and been somewhat in awe of the Witch-King's slayer; and perhaps this conversation helped her see that her cousin's wife and sister-to-be was a real flesh-and-blood woman after all. | |

| Poor Nerdanel. I feel that she - and many of those left behind - are real and unnoted victims of the Kinslayers' actions. She spent such a long time alone. | |

| Oh, this is very nice, and actually it fits both the "A" prompt *and* the "B" prompt! I do like the way Arwen's thoughts gradually change; she's not the sort to keep up a prejudice against someone simply for her own advantage. And her bit of prescience is so sad. Thank you, by the way, for the nice plug! Author Reply: I don't think I truly realized that it fit the A prompt until after the piece was first posted; Arwen's annoyance with Denethor's heir just came naturally into the polot. I don't think Aragorn could fall in love with someone who lacked compassion; and Arwen knew enough of the dangers that beset travelers to soften towards wayworn, weary Boromir. Besides, how could anyone remain cross towards a bathing Boromir? | |
