| Neath Anor, Ithil, and Gil by Larner | 9 Review(s) |

| Eirinn Leigh | Reviewed Chapter: 42 on 8/28/2015 |
| This almost, /almost/, makes me kind of ok with the Tauriel/Kili thing. Still not within the context of The Hobbit, but elsewhere within middle earth I can see an elf/dwarf coupling mirroring that of Yavanna and Alue. | |

| What a beautiful poetic story!I love the idea of dancing things into being lik the Hindu legend of Shiva's dance of endless renewal. Author Reply: Song and dance have always gone hand in hand, throughout human existence, I think. That these two would have indeed danced and sung so much into being just seemed so right! Thanks so, Linda! | |

| A particularly lovely piece; blending high language and power with suggestions of tenderness and sensuality. I love the use of song here; it works so well with Tolkien's use of music and of course, The Song. Well done! Author Reply: I'm so glad I managed to communicate the moods I'd intended, Raksha. This was written with the theme of music in mind, and of course I found myself thinking also of THE Song. Thanks so for the feedback. | |

| Lovely, Larner! Reading that, I can see them singing all these things into being. Very appropriate for Yavanna und Aulë. Author Reply: Oh, I'm so very glad you agree, Kitty! I found I rather liked writing this one. | |

| Ooh, lovely! Valarin romance fics are so few and far between. Author Reply: Again, am please it pleases. One thing the ALEC challenges has done--they've had me reaching beyond my more normal areas of writing! And this one was to include music somehow.... Thanks for the feedback. | |

| Oh, this was lovely Larner! On the surface, it would seem that Yavanna and Aule are opposites--nature versus artifice. But you show how they compliment each other: no aritifice without the raw materials nature provides, and artifice enables nature to increase its bounty even more! Wonderful! Author Reply: I am so glad you like it, Dreamflower! It was interesting trying to figure out how to meet the challenge--I'd intended originally to post the Hurin/Lynesse story there, you see--but it grew in the telling, and by that time the character of Lynesse could have given away who wrote the story. And Aule and Yavanna were well paired, I think. | |

| That's just beautiful. What a glorious way to describe the intertwining of soul-mates, and the joy of these early days. Author Reply: Am so glad you think so, Shirebound! I am honored, and they must have rejoiced indeed to share in the preparation of the world for the coming of the Children. | |

| Just lovely, Larner. I suspected it was Yavanna and Aulė before I got to the end. For all their differences in temperment and interests, they greatly complement each other. And their dance goes on.... Author Reply: Am so glad you enjoyed it, Fiondil--and indeed their dance goes on! Thank you so! | |
