    This was so beautiful to read. I love the passion and the drama, the love and loyalty and the heart and soul of this story. I love reading about Glorfindel, Erestor and Ecthelion. They make a sweet team. You have a great talent at simply diving in and exploring the emotional side of the characters. Loved it.

    Regarding 'miss' Linda...

    Um, no... you are confused, you are partly right, in that there was a man named Ecthelion, father of Denethor II. But quite obviously, this story includes Ecthelion the ELF. Here is a link you may find interesting, if not informative.

    Perhaps you should look these things up, so as not to sound as foolish or ignorant in the future.

    Hello, my name is Linda and i´m from Sweden. I have read the Lord Of The Ring books and watched all three movies. I want to ask something.
    In this story, you write that Echtelion is an Elf. Well let me tell YOU something, Miss Fish. Echtelion is NOT an Elf, he is a Human just like me and you.

    In the third Movie, Miss Fish. Gandalf says" Lord Denethor, son of Echtelion" Denethor isn´t an elf, is he Miss Fish? No, he is a human and that makes Echtelion a human too and NOT an elf, do you understand Miss Fish?

    One more time, Echtelion is NOT an elf, but a human.

    Thank you for reading and I will see you soon, Miss Fish!

    I must say, "WOW!" that is the sweetest thing I've ever read! I love it!
    Everything is so well described, I mean, EVERYTHING! It is very emotional.
    I have been crying and laughing while reading it, it is so good!
    I had to restrain myself not to sob out loud not to wake my parrents lying in the room next to mine...! *blushing*

    What a harsh life to live for eternity... think! If Glorfindel hadn't returned!! Poor poor Erestor!
    But luckily he did, and he remembered!

    You really have some skill!

    I love it!

    huge hugs

    Wow! Unbelievably well written. Descriptions, characterizations, emotions, all well done. Could have used a beta, but story was so good that it was easy to overlook the errors. Thank you for letting me into your world.

    Ah, at last, I find 20b. Why was it 20 b and not 21? Oh well, I care not. Thank you for this story. I was so frustrated when I first read it and realized that, to me, it was incomplete! Id di look, truly, and not just on that day, but a couple of days later as well.

    For me, I am not a "twincest" fan, so I always find references to such "squicky," but for you, I can handle it.

    Fishy!!!! I used to have a rule about reading only completed works, but then I keep finding myself assuming they're complete and reading. Pleeeeeze! Finsih this! Or at least give me the next chapter. I can see you're heading to the yule dance in an echo of what had happened at Gondolin.

    By the way, you should read the Silmarillion if you haven't. You would have to rewrite some bits to be within canon, though. And chocolate, being discovered by white Europeans only in the 1500s (the cocoa bean grows in South America, and though I know it's grown now also in Africa), Middle Earth wouldn't have had it if you assume (as Tolkien intended) that Middle Earth is Europe some 6000+ years before the Europe that emerges from history. (Of course, this idea doesn't really wash, but what the hey . . . )

    The Book of Lost Tales (there are two -- my daughter received them for Christmas from her Aunt Bonnie) includes a very long decription of the battle of the downfall of Gondolin. Ecthelion ironically falls into the king's fountain after slaying Gothmog, king of the balrogs. Glorfindel helps save the what Gondolians do make it out, but the orcs ambush the party as it flees along a perilous path. On one side is a cliff, and on the other side is an abyss, into which Glorfindel and the balrog both fall. The King of the Eagles takes pity on him and lifts Glorfindel's body out, and in honor the people make a cairn for him atop one of the mountains. Although the land falls into terrible ruin (and is later destroyed and under water), on Glorfindel's grave golden flowers grow as long as the land exists as land. This part is all in the Silmarillion. Maybe I shouldn't assume you haven't read it. It's okay not to follow canon. I just thought you might want to know so you can play with it.

    For people who HAVE read it, I think they'll find most disturbing the idea that Gondolin was just the major city of the area, when in truth its location was an absolute secret. Hence the betrayal by Maeglin of where it was to Morgoth. You couldn't have Ecthelion, Erestor, and Glorfindel being someplace else and knowing all about it, much less would there be regular travel between Gondolin and other cities. But I do go on and get boring, don't I? Oh, oneother thing. It's a great image, the way that Tolkien writes it: all of Gondolin is awake all the night in celebration of a special summer holiday (but the solstice -- I'd have to look it up). They await the rising of the sun, but a light begins to appear in the north, not in the east. What they see is the approaching host of Morgoth, and in particular the balrogs and dragons (who don't yet fly).

    Anyway, I'm enjoying the story immensely. DO PLEASE WRITE MORE!

    Wow, I loved this story so much. You pieced it together wonderfully, especially the beginning, when Erestor and Glorfindel start to awaken to their adolecent desires. You're a wonderful writer fishyz.
