Reunion in Mirkwood  by Mirkwoodmaiden 2 Review(s)

I admit to not having started this one yet... But it's so good to see you post a new chapter! I've been thinking of you but too overloaded at work to write or even read much over the summer. Still, I see there's a chapter in Éowyn's story that I haven't read yet (how far will that one go? all the way to Faramir?).

As far as my postings go, I have half a chapter of Bill the Pony's tale typed in (and half a chapter of the puppy story as well, as well as a couple more chapters of "Farry and Ferdi Go to Gondor" written. But nothing ready to post). I was going to spend the next few days soaking in fanfic... but then work called this morning. Yikes. In any event, (((hugs))) and I hope this finds you and yours well.

SO lovely to hear from you! Me and mine are well. Work and life have slowed down my writing! About Eowyn's story, ye it will join up with "Bound by Duty; Bound by Joy" Faramir's story. So looking foward to more of your stories!

Be Safe!

Dear Mirkwoodmaiden
After reading 'The Heir Apparent' it was so nice to see a part in here as a memory.
And there is still so much pain and guilt felt by Legolas. It is not easy to bear if I think of how long and through how many trials he will still have to carry it before he will return home. But maybe some healing may come on the way... Although I think it will still be heavy on both sides.
Stay safe and well!

So happy to see your review! I really thought that portion of the "Heir Apparent" belonged as a memory here. I try to write all my stories within the same framework or timeline. It can be a little limiting but I also like having a world (inside Tolkien's world) where my stories exist and are connected. "Destiny's Child" is happening on a parallel track to this story.

Legolas does still carry pain as does Thranduil but they both still have to function within their world. Emotional healing is not a linear thing, we all have setbacks. It is how we deal with them. Healing will come and both will be the better for it. How I don't quite yet know as I have not written those chapters! :-D but I do have some ideas.

Thanks again!

be well!

((hugs))
