Thank you so much! Yeats is always perfect! If there is any magic to this story, he did half of the work ;)

Your interweaving of the imagery,legend and relationship is just so beautiful..the yeats is perfect. The story has such a dreamlike quality it is almost mystical. I can hear Mask and the Mirror with it perfectly. Thanks so much for this

Why did I not tell you sooner? Well, if I promoted all of my stories all of the time you’d tire rather quickly ;) So I leave some surprises for you here and there…

I actually don’t remember how I came up with the plot for this story. There are too few F/E fics out there and I wanted one without healing. That was important. And then there was this image of the Trees created by mefa for nominated authors to sport, and it was so beautiful. And Yeats poem is such a gem too… There was simply too much material for me not to work with it!

I’m very, very happy that you liked it, darling. Thank you.

Honey, why didn’t you tell me abut that awesome story earlier? It is Elrond here! Beloved, wise Elrond!… Probably because I should check in more often… I will do my best to repair that mistake, mind my words.

This was pure brilliance. I understood the conotations because thankfully I read as much of the Silmarillion to reach the tale of Two Trees. Using the tale here, to refer to Faramir, who was raised under the White Tree, seemed so beautifully obvious while reading, but I bet it was hard to come up with something like that. Beautiful idea, combining two Tolkien stories into your own universe. Wow. And, not to make it too easy, the poem. What was the inspiration, actually? The poem or Silmarillion?

About the pairing. Never seemed actually so very very appealing and a bit impossible. But just give it to Geale. She will look at it, think it over, write a story. (Oh well part II.)^^

I enjoyed the story so very much. It’s beautiful!

Yes… This pairing fascinates me so much I had to try it.
Kelly, I never mean(t)to convert you, but I take it as a great compliment that I manage to ;) Thank you so much for faithfully sticking by me and I hope you will like the next story too.
Dunderklumpen (swedish?), I’m still slightly dizzy from reading your lovely comment. It was quite an intense experience writing this (I didn’t leave my flat for 24 hours) so I’m glad I got all the emotion across. I’m especially glad that you picked up on Elrond’s feelings. Tolkien did an astounding job, using all kinds of symbols in his stories, and I do love taking it a step further. I am very happy that you liked it! Thank you!

Beautiful! I was moved by the story. Usually I’m not so emotional but the style and tone of the fic got to me. I loved it and how you captured the two characters. It was heartbreaking, warm, funny and I enjoyed it so very much.

The analogy of sun and moon was cleverly done. Like a painter you managed to paint pictures for me with your writing – the golden sun which flooded the bedroom, the silver moon which shone on the couple and the aching and wanting of the land which mirrored Elronds longing. Really beautiful.

Absolutely wonderful! As always, I enjoyed this immensely. Can’t wait for the next one! It doesn’t seem to matter what pairing you decide to write with. Whether it be a favorite of mine or not I still become a convert in the end. I used to be stuck on F/Haldir but thanks to you I’ve become a A/F or E/F or whatever else you give me. As long as you keep them coming, I shall be happy to keep reading. Thank you.

Thank you! I’m glad to have entertained you!
Hm… I did promise you something along those lines, didn’t I? I hope you’ll be happy to know that I plan to post the first chapter of my new A/F story within a month! :)

As always, I love!!Thanks Geale!
And what about a long (very long, please….) A/F story (anxiously awaiting,bitting my nails!!!!!!)
Amicalement.
