This is incredibly creepy.

Great job!

This is MOST excellently excellent. Creative. And beautifully written.

And I adore the last line.

SO MANY SALAMANDERS!!!!!!!!

Also . . . WHAT ARE SALAMANDERS?!?!?!?!?






Author Reply: Salamanders are amphibians that look an awful lot like lizards, and were associated with fire in early mythology because people would see them scurrying out of rotting logs when they put them on the fire (or so saith Wikipedia). I tweaked it a little bit when discussing Middle-earth, because I like the mythology but the explanation behind it would need to actually work.

And how true that pronouncement proved! Love this look at the making of the Shieldmaiden.

Just the right thing to do for her beloved husband! Dear Elanor even cooperated. At least Merry and Pippin understand what Sam has been through and how much he must hurt with half his heart gone from Middle Earth.

Oh, but I DO love this! Turn the tables for the kitchen staff and let them feast this time! Delightful!

Oh, dear--outed to the dreaded aunt be rose thorns!

Oh, thank you so! Realizing that your beloved little cousin is growing up now can be painful, particularly when you find you're taking second place to lasses in pretty dresses.

Now, there is the devious Hobbit I love to see in action! Heh! He has managed to distract them, or at least for the moment. But at least he's managed to see Sam and Rosie spared being sung to their marriage bed! Love it!

At least part of the ancient forest is still protected by them! Fair folk they've found, although not the fairies they imagine. Faded fair folk. Alas that they are faded, but at least they still protect a remnant of their former lands.
