Loved all these characters so much and how you portray them makes me giddy. I love this love story, the anticipation and angst that love can bring you wrote so beautifully. So painful to have it end. Thank you for posting .

A perfect surprise. Glad they came the short way--had wondered why Lothiriel's party hadn't, actually! Alphros sounds wonderful! And it's been such a satisfying tale!
Author's reply
I thought there had not been time to open the way under the mountain so it worked rather well for my surprise. Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing. LBJ

"A ghostly castle returned from the depths of time".
"eerie silence as the captain crept his ship forward"
"like an army given the order to retreat"
Simply beautiful.
You really love the sea.
I live in La Coruña, the northern-west coast of Spain. I can´t conceive life without the sea, sometimes temperamental, sometimes soothing.
Of course such a tempting Horse-lord would convince anyone, but I have always had the feeling that Lothíriel was a prize for the brave and honourable Rohír, but what about her? Would love be enough after the years?
Such a beautiful castle by the sea, ships, dolphins, lovely weather, riding along the beach...
Lovely story.
Author's reply
Yes, I do love the sea. And until a year ago we had a sailing yacht. I haven't sailed in your area but my husband has been past that way a couple of times. The sea near me is tame in comparison. Anyway, glad you enjoyed, thanks for reviewing. LBJ

Alas that the betrothal between Faramir and Eowyn must be extended in such a manner! But they will have many years of joy with one another, after all. And the frustration with one another is over between Lothiriel and Eomer, and that definitely will be to the good.
Author's reply
I thinks Eomer's frustration will depend on how long he has to wait.Perhaps I will be kind to him. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

It is always so good to see the two of them get together. But how cruel to poor Éowyn that Faramir insists they marry according to his traditions rather than hers! :)

That's the trouble with those Gondorians - too regimented by half. LoL Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

I can see how at home in Rohan Lothiriel now is. Eomer will know taking the mead cup from her is significant.I hope they can declare their feelings for one another. A most enjoyable chapter.

Enjoying the last chapters very much.
I hope you won´t end your story without telling us why were the brigands heading North.
Who was hiring them?
A very interesting prospect.
Waiting eagerly to have Éomer´s P.O.V.
Author's reply
I was hoping that readers would guess they were heading for the 'scouring of the shire.' As to who was hiring them - well it was obviously originally initiated by Saruman.
Eomer's pov? You will hear from him but not directly.
Glad you are enjoying, thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

At last she is beginning to think more clearly, and her mother's advice is as good as she'd hoped for. Good to see that she is willing to listen this time, and that she knows her heart better.

Hopefully they will sort it all out in the last chapter - I would hate to leave them unhappy.

I suspect Lothierial's parents laughed all the way to Edoras. Their sort of plan worked well. Still really enjoying this.

Yes, it certainly is working out for her father. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

I've been following this story, as well as most of your Eomer/Lothiriel stories for quite some time. I love your writing style and characters, but tend to be a lurker and not comment much.
I'm looking forward to seeing if Eomer can finally find the right words to convince Lothiriel that he really does love her.
I only have one minor complaint. When Alwunn said the line 'Well, whatever,' it kind of pulled me out of the story. I don't think anyone in Middle Earth would say that... at least not and mean it in the context we would today.
Other than that, loving the story and looking forward to the resolution of this fiery couple.
Author's reply
I think you are right and will change that phrase when I do the other corrections.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to review. I will update as soon as I can. LBJ

Hi Lady Bluejay I am loving your latest story. I really hope that Eomer can take his foot of his mouth, long enough to ask her to marry him.That is if Lothíriel doesn't kill him in the mean time. Can't wait for the next chapter.LOL Galathil
ps hope you are well.

Oh, a typical bodice-ripper image here of the bare-chested hero! And he managed to put his foot in it, plus she's gone all defensive prematurely--again! I've been giggling at her imagination!

I just had to give a glimpse of his chest! And putting his foot in it seems to be in character.

Oh dear - I could sort of see this coming... she really isn't in the right mood for him to joke, or approach it like this, is she? Silly Éomer!

No, he chose the wrong words and the wrong time there.

The very young romantic in me says she should have fallen in his arms and said yes, I will marry you. The practical me shouts yes, she needs a solid declaration of love from him, first. Please keep this delightful story going. Thank you.

I think she quite sensible for one so young!

They're cooking a badger they found dead? No question the whole group is downright stupid! No, I doubt she needed to add the fibercaps! Now, to get to help! And a group of bully-boys aren't going to make it to the Shire to add to problems there!

They probably thought the prolonged boiling would kill anything. I can't believe the Rohirimm will let them go once they catch them - which they surely will. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ

Ohhhhh dear! Once upon a time in a story called "Drummer", Amrothos's future wife, Devorin, faced three ruffian assailants on a mountain road with a large dog and a Rohrric warhorse for defenders. But her help was on the way, and arrived "just in the nick of time" as they say. THIS little cliffhanger seems just a wee bit less hopeful than that one turned out. Time to start obsessively checking my Inbox!

Brigands come in very useful for a bit of excitement - LoL. But you are right, Lothy is
on her own in this one. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ
