This is absolutely my favourite Eomer/Lothiriel story. It's beautifully written, doesn't contain any innuendo! (yes!) and I love the way you characterised the two. Thanks for sharing your talent with people who can't write half as well as you. You made my day.

I know what you mean when you say "doesn't contain any innuendo! (yes!)". One of my problems is that I'm still quite young, and I don't feel quite comfortable reading some... er... rated scenes in certain very well-written stories. So instead of reading them thoroughly, I skip them. And then I discover that, by skipping them, I've actually missed some point crucial to the story. So it's a problem for me. I actually sort of make it a rule to never write characters kissing in a story if I can help it - I think of it as a challenge, to portray the same amount of romance without all the physicality. It's hard, let me tell you.

Enjoyed the story?! Yes I did, it was very well done and now I am going off to discover other treasures you have written. Hugs The Imp

Oh, I LIKED this! It was wonderfully sweet. Lothiriel is a girl after my own heart; dancing in the rain is something more people should do. I especially liked the aliases they picked when introducing htemselves to each other.

I can just see the two of them there by the fountain.

If you do a follow-up I will be most happy to read it. IF you don't, well, I can always amuse myself by trying ot determine what her wish was and the circumstances surrounding her telling it to Eomer.

Lovely job!

Author Reply: Thank you! All of these kind reviews are making me WANT to do a companion piece! It's really very inspiring.

Thanks, and I'm glad you liked it.

OoOoOo...I loved this little story!!! Brought a smile to my face, it did indeed! So glad I decided to drop by SOA tonight :) I really enjoyed your witty Lothiriel and gentle Eomer. Please pretty please continue this story? There are so few Eomer/Lothiriel stories out there, and fewer still that are worth reading! Thank you for filling a void that desperately needs it! ;)



Author Reply: Thanks for that review, it really made my day! Yes, I'm tired of barbaric, crude Eomer who doesn't give a damn about the way he treats women. I feel certain he was quite cultured.

I'll think about continuing it, but you'll probably see another story concerning them before the companion piece for this story comes out.

Thanks once more for your review. :)

Lovely tale. I must admit, it took me quite a bit into the tale before I understood who was whom... I knew Idril did not live in Minas Tirith and I knew she didn't live during the time of Helm... nevertheless, I continued on because the story itself was delightful and well written. It was fun to see whot these two really were.

Author Reply: Think about how it must have been for those two, not knowing who the other was and then finding out that-- oh, it makes me laugh. I HAD to write something, LOL.

Thanks for your review! :)

Oh yes, I did indeed enjoy your little story on how they met. Much more entertaining than some have portrayed. MORE hugs, Nessa

Lovely; romantic and delightfully different. Characters very nicely and richly depicted. I can see very well why they were attracted to each other. The setting is very evocative also; felt like I was right there!

This was fun. Nicely written with a setting that came alive and well fleshed-out characters.

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad the setting worked -- I wasn't quite sure if it would work, at first. And yes, it took me some time to make those two sound quite alive in a oneshot.

Thanks for your review. :)

What an interesting take on how Eomer and Lothiriel met! I liked this very much!

Author Reply: I'm glad you did! Those two are just so much fun to play around with, aren't they? :)
