Larner · 20 February 2020 · Chapter 6: Their Hour Was Not Yet Come
At least Aragorn has not proved rude--or, at least not in this instance! Heh!
Author's reply
Heh! I'm sure he tries not to be, Larner! Thank you so much for your reviews!

Lindelea · 18 February 2020 · Chapter 6: Their Hour Was Not Yet Come
I love this turn of phrase: curled like a cat by the warm fire It's interesting to see the different responses: it highlights especially, I think, why Númenor fell... and why Aragorn didn't.
Author's reply
Thank you so much, Lindelea! I'm so glad you love that phrase, it's one of my favorites too, I think. I'm glad it highlighted that! Thank you for letting me know.
Larner · 14 February 2020 · Chapter 5: Crossing the Helcaraxe (featuring Galadriel & Idril)
A lovely series. I especially appreciated seeing the moon through their eyes, and knowing that Artanis had not succumbed to resentment toward the Valar.
Author's reply
Thank you so much Larner, I'm glad you've enjoyed this! The next story is now posted!
Larner · 14 February 2020 · Chapter 4: Safe Harbor
Ah, but I read echoes of Fiondil here! I rejoice that she finds comfort here, but grieve that Denethor avoided her sickroom and deathbed. And she wishes to greet Thorongil, whom she sees as a brother? Interesting!
Author's reply
I'm sure you do see echoes of my beloved Atya - I could do no less than to honor him. *misses Fiondil greatly* She has quite a lot to talk to Thorongil about...especially if this is taken as Isildurchil Dithen 'verse!
Larner · 14 February 2020 · Chapter 3: A New Tradition
Quite the tradition, and another reflected in how and when Valandil's descendant Aragorn shall learn his own lineage. So, the circlets were not precisely wanted by their recipient, but treasured nonetheless? Interesting.
Author's reply
Oh, well, young Thranduil found circlets annoying. What can I say? Heh! :) I'm glad you found this interesting.
Larner · 14 February 2020 · Chapter 2: The New Tutor
Well, this tutor has had over two millenia to learn himself, and is knowledgeable about herbs used in healing. It should be most interesting to learn from Elrond's son.
Author's reply
Yes, he has! I am sure Kili will learn many interesting lessons from Elrohir. We'll have to see if I am fortunate enough to see any more!
Larner · 14 February 2020 · Chapter 1: White Flower's Wilting
This kinslaying is, I think, the worst. Poor Nimloth!
Author's reply
Poor Nimloth, for sure! Thank you for your lovely reviews, Larner!
KathyG · 30 January 2020 · Chapter 5: Crossing the Helcaraxe (featuring Galadriel & Idril)
Poor Galadriel and Itarille! That lengthy trip was so hard on them--on ALL of them, in fact! Just traveling to the North or South Pole with dogsleds and all the necessary equipment is hard enough. What they all went through before they reached their destination doesn't even bear considering!
Author's reply
That's so true KathyG!! I can't even imagine going to the North or South Pole, never mind what all the Exiles must have been through. *shiver* Definitely poor Galadriel, Itarille (Idril) and everyone else. <3
sue · 26 January 2020 · Chapter 5: Crossing the Helcaraxe (featuring Galadriel & Idril)
All these vignettes are so worthy of their own stories. I enjoyed them a lot, and made disappointed moans when there was no "next chapter". Of course I knew at the outset that these would be mere windows, a peek through veiling curtains. Thank you.
Author's reply
Don't worry! There will be a "next chapter" before long. This gets updated once a month with my entries from the Teitho writing contest. The next tale, "Their Hour Was Not Yet Come", will be structured rather like this one, though it wasn't written for tolkien-weekly. It's more of a tale-within-a-tale. I hope you will enjoy it!
sue · 26 January 2020 · Chapter 2: The New Tutor
Oh, well done. I would surely like to see this one expanded into a full story.
Author's reply
I may revisit it! Thank you so much for your review.
Karri · 20 December 2019 · Chapter 4: Safe Harbor
This was simply lovely. Really felt it. Thanks!
Author's reply
Thank you Karri!
shirebound · 19 December 2019 · Chapter 4: Safe Harbor
Oh my, this is a wonderful imagining of this passage... and who might be waiting to ease it.
Author's reply
Thank you so much, Shirebound!
Mirkwoodmaiden · 19 November 2019 · Chapter 1: White Flower's Wilting
Very evocative. You create a very real sense of tension and fear with very few words. I can feel her pain and her sense of what she is and what she is not. Very well done. MM
Author's reply
Thank you so much Mirkwoodmaiden! I'm glad you found this story evocative.
shirebound · 18 November 2019 · Chapter 3: A New Tradition
This is very moving, and these are royal gifts indeed. It's wonderful when painful memories can be eased by moments like this.
Author's reply
Thank you so much Shirebound! I'm so glad you liked this story.
shirebound · 17 October 2019 · Chapter 2: The New Tutor
his mellifluous tones spoke of an ancient joy and sorrow mingled I like that. This is a fun and creative story idea.
Author's reply
Thank you so much Shirebound! I'm so glad you enjoyed that!
Karri · 16 October 2019 · Chapter 2: The New Tutor
This is terrific! Kili doesn't get nearly enough fanfic love. Really enjoyed this treat.
Author's reply
Thank you so much!! :) I really appreciate your review. I intend to keep writing for Teitho!
