This whole speculation around Draughâsh is so very compelling — and also original. I have not seen this wrestled with before in fanfiction. It is not a case, as so many baddies are painted these days, of having been not bad but misunderstood — it is truly a question of change. Repentance, perhaps, although I am not certain Draughâsh would go that far at this point. Really good.

LOVED this story! And this last chapter was so satisfying. Unexpected in the best way. You say so much with so little, like Thranduil's 'Leave him to me.'; because you've set up his character so clearly for us, we know anyone who gets on the wrong side of him is going to regret it. I really hope you continue with this story- I'm desperate to see how it turns out. Thank for writing.

At last! Can I just say I love your writing? I came upon you while reading the Fanfic "Finding a Voice" by Roselightfairy on Archive of Our Own whom credited a snippet from another of your works as an inspiration. I have since then been completely enthralled by your story telling and depiction of characters. I especially admire the way you manage the huge cast of middle-earth and balance screen time without detracting from the plot, bravo! The end is nigh for Lord Falathar and I can't wait to see Thranduil take his due vengeance!

Eagerly anticipating the next installment,

At last, some answers!

And from what a source. Such intriguing ponderings regarding the Uruks/orcs, and their path forward now that the driving forces behind them are no more. If given a choice, what would they be? Hmm ... I do very much like how you have written this Uruk (can’t remember his name exactly) — still with unattractive and even repulsive qualities, but the desire is there. Very true, change such as this does not happen overnight.

I’m anxious to see how these next steps will play out. So glad I finally got back to this story, it has completely sucked me in again. Thanks so much for writing, and I look forward to more!
