Finrodbrs · 14 December 2011 · Chapter 28: In Which the Bride and Groom Make Up and Arafinwë Breaks Down

Well, it's good to know Amarie wasn't being selfish or anything with this surprise. Excellent chapter as always Fiondil. Patiently waiting for next week's update. P.S. I think you've got a typo there. There's a part where Elindis says, "Why don't I go tell Arafinwe and Elindis the good news." Shouldn't it be Arafinwe and Earwen?

Sheesh! It's just one thing after another isn't it! Poor Finda, poor Ara'! Almariel has a lot to answer for, silly ellith. I do like Castamir but I think he should have put his foot down with Alamriel a long time ago! I am not surprised Arafinwe had a tantrum, it has been building for a long time now, he is still very ambivilant over his brother's return, even after all this time and all the experiance he has had as Noldaran he is still not comfortable at it. So now the wedding is back on, I think I am not the only person who will breath a big sigh of releif when this is all over and Christmas is only 11 days away, Arrgh!!!! Huggs, Lynda

The wedding's off... now that's a shock. Is she just paying him back for how Finrod treated her last time, or is she that upset over the ugly dress? Or something else?

bookworm · 8 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Oh man, this chapter! First we have Anarie, and ow but that must be traumatic on all sides! Your husband, who you are not entirely sure you forgive just yet (1) doesn't remember you and (2) acts like a child. Or on Nolofinwe's side "hey this random stranger who you are supposed to have tied your life to and apparently love just hauled off and slapped you!" Ow. Just Ow. And then Amarie afkhskljhlk WHAT. D= Oh dear oh dear oh dear!

Well, if Namo is your Muse, then Attar Help us! Huggs, Lynda

Larner · 8 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

They recover, and then have a family confrontation of such magnitude, with Anaire not realizing just how this loss of memory she's been told of is likely to manifest itself; and then just as reconciliation is starting to begin, here comes Amarie with such a pronouncement? What else is likely to happen before the ceremony is supposed to take place? Sounds more and more as if they ought to have eloped after all!

Larner · 8 December 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

Nolofinwe handled that very well, and his concerns for Findecano are well thought out. Nicely done.

obsidianj · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Oh, no! What now? Didn't Arafinwe say "One crisis down"? I knew it sounded ominous... but I didn't expect that. Grrr, and now I have to wait another whole week for an explanation. Poor Finrod! When this wedding ever takes place (and it better does), everyone is ready for a long vacation. They all seem to be emotional basket cases by now. The exchange with the bed was hilarious and should give Anarie a hint as to the maturity of her husband. But I think her shock was too great to really process all the implications.

6336 · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Erm, Fiondil, I think your Muse and I need to have a little chat, something along the lines of the ones Namo has with certain people, he has an evil mind, a very evil mind!(Not Namo, your Muse!) I do think Arafinwe could have given Anaire a little warning, just how hard would it have been to tell her that her husband and sons had been Re-born before springing them on her. As for Amarie, I suppose it is just as well she has changed her mind no, otherwise, after the wedding it would be a little late, LACE being what it is! Good one Fiondil, as if my blood pressure is not high enough already! Huggs, Lynda

amber · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Love this story and the way it relates to your other stories. Can't wait to see what happens now that she has decided she doesn't want to get married. I am eagerly waiting to see what new story pops out next.

Soledad · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Now, this was the mother of all evil cliffhangers and no mistake. *g* I know I'm probably calling the lynch mob upon myself, but I for my part have great understanding for both Anairë and Amarië (and would like to throttle the Professor for giving them almost identical names - it's frigging hard to keep them apart!). They both were dealt with badly, and are entitled to hold some grudges, IMO. But that's just me, and I don't expect anyone to share my heretic opinion. ;)

Kaylee Arafinwiel · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

(Ok, Atto, I just noticed Lady Meril's amusement. What is this, payback for the "twelve years hence at Midsummer"? I expect Amarie's got something along the lines of "I don't want to marry you, I want to elope with you" now...*raises eyebrows*) Tye-melin, Kaylee

Kaylee Arafinwiel · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Atya, WHAT??? What do you mean, "the wedding is off?" Amarie...what the... (I kind've expected Anaire's reaction to her husband and sons, so that didn't surprise me, but this...) *fervently prays that Amarie's got some plan afoot and doesn't really mean it* (Does this mean they can marry Sindar style?) Tye-melin, Kaylee

Fantasia · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

I feel bad for Anairë. I think that it is a logical reaction. Hopefully, they will learn to love each other again. Finrod will need a psychiatric by the time that the wedding takes place. It is a shock after a shock, poor guy.

eliza61 · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

OH SWEET LORD!! First, I'm just getting over Anaire slapping the bejezus out of her husband and then I almost choke to death on my bagel from the last line. You're going to have to include a warning at the beginning of chapters, Fiondil. I think the only reason I haven't really hit the panic button is that Lady Meril was amused. Did I mention I'm one of those annoyingly "happy ever after" gals? These two have to get married. Great chapter.

Sunny · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

8-O Now what caused this???? 8-O Amarie suddenly doesn't want to marry Finrod after all??!? (And of course, that is also just where you left us hanging!) It is rather obvious Anairë hasn't had any contact with any Reborn - and I must say the meeting between her and her husband and her sons was not auspicious. The first thing she does is hitting Nolofinwë!! nd I hope she will become better at dealing with surprises - with three Reborn around, she will need to get used to them! And I can really understand Findecáno and Aracáno's reactions too, when they say they would really prefer to have Eärwen as mother instead of Anairë, since the very first thing Anairë did when meeting with them again, was hitting Nolofinwë!! (Hee! Pigs will fly, eh? I have a hairstick with an adorable flying pig!!) It is very clear that Arafinwë has become very experienced in dealing with Reborn. When he and his brother runs off here, I assume it is to find a tree to swing from? ;-)

Arwen75 · 7 December 2011 · Chapter 27: In Which There are Family Meetings and the Bride Makes an Appearance

Now you are just being cruel leaving us with a cliffhanger like that and having to wait till next week...... Other than that a great chapter that has made me smile lots with the elfing behaviour. Also I am pleased to see that Nolofinwë and his sons want to give their fealty to Arafinwë. I can understand Anairë's reaction - she hasn't had much to do with Reborns for a start and given the way she and Nolofinwë separated..... Well I was smiling until I got to that last bit. Now what has happened I wander.....

Tari · 6 December 2011 · Chapter 23: In Which Finrod Has Nightmares and Námo Comes to the Rescue

What a hideous dream. And poor Findrod will have Almáriel for a mother-in-law. The descriptions of her were quite fitting. It is about time Castamir stood up to her, something he should do more often. At least Frinrod will not longer have to worry about wearing that awful outfit.

Sunny · 2 December 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

Only two days to the wedding, but they will be very _full_ days, right, Fiondil? ;-) And Tigger, if you contact Fiondil, he can give you my e-mail address - I am sure I can give you some suggestions for what you might do with tiny fake gemstones!!

Eliza · 1 December 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

And I thought the British Monarchy had issues, jeez. I think at the end of this wedding everyone will breathe a very audible "Nasie!". I do want to thank you for the wonderful glimpse into being a "reborn". very fascinating to say the least. I don't know a lot of the background on the characters but your portrayal of many of them is memorizing to say the least. ***sighs*** how many more days before the wedding?

Tigger · 30 November 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

Wow!! Nicely done Nolofinwe. He was right too. By acting like an elfling, he not only showed the People exactly what Ingwi was trying to tell them, but also protected his sons as well. Very well done indeed. Glorfy's right of course. Arafinwe more than likely does already know what has happened, but they still need to let him know about it. Even so...Why on Arda didn't a Maia appear when the riot got so close to the tipping point? Ingwi's not the only one puzzled about that one. Sigh...And now, I need to go back to sorting fake gemstones. I make circlets and tiaras and I got four boxes of assorted fake gems for a dollar each at the Dollar Store when I was in Sudbury for appts Monday. However, they're all shapes, sizes and colours, therefore the need to sort them. I just wish I knew what I could do w/the teeny tiny ones that were also in these boxes. They're far too small for my purposes and I haven't the foggiest idea what to do w/them. Anyway...I needed a break and now I need to go back to sorting. Can't wait for next week and whatever happens next. :oD

Sunny · 30 November 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

I suppose Finrod has a right to feel haunted, with all that has happened with the wedding - like that wedding outfit! *shudders* Not to mention frazzled, stressed out and just about insane. ;-) It sounds as in Nolofinwë had his moments in Mandos when he was making life interesting for Námo and the Maiar. I wonder if he was as good at that as a certain Dynamic Duo? Him being sent to his room, and that comment he overheard certainly sounds like he might have been! I like Nolofinwe's reaction to the crowd once he got over his fright - and especially his reaction to the ellon who insisted that since Nolofinwë was older than Arafinwë, he had to be the Noldoran. He knows well that he is not ready for such a responsibility, though he will probably be king again when the people from Tol Eressëa - especially his former liegemen - begin to move to the mainland in large numbers.

Fantasia · 30 November 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

Well, it was expected. He was their King, and that is the reaction from Tirion, imagine the reaction from the island, it will be a real riot. I'm very impressed with Nolofinwe, he is really acting more mature than any reborn that we know. He was such a great and heroic King. And Finrod...I almost cry when he die. He was the last of the family that keep Maedros' sanity, what a lost to the Elves. Very proud of Nolonfinwe's loyalty to his brother, but that too is expected. I did my homework, I already re read Elf Academy, I'm waiting....I wish Finrod meet Glorfindel again, Glorfy really, really miss and need him.

6336 · 30 November 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

As Namo said,'Once a King, always a King!'It's not something that easy to forget. Way to go Nolofinwe, that's telling them! Huggs, Lynda

obsidianj · 30 November 2011 · Chapter 26: In Which Nolofinwë is Recognized and There is a Riot

Uh, oh! Trouble is brewing. This ellon wanting to have Nolofinwe back as King for principles sake cannot be the only one. The Kings of Aman better think of how to handle the situation with all the Kings that will be released. (How many are there? I lost count). It may be several centuries (as we count) until Nolofinwe and Findecano are ready to take up kingship again, but the elves life forever. There is bound to be some friction. Life in Aman is becoming more and more "interesting".
