| Gimli getting captured by Cave Trolls is really original. It's not like the standard captured-by-orcs fare of fanfic--the poor baby cave troll doesn't know that "Mossy" is hurt and needs care, or that he's not a pet. I love the Cave Troll names, too. The Legolas-Gliver interaction is also great, the way their respect for each other grows and Gliver understands exactly how much Legolas loves Gimli. And the end of the chapter is so touching in a very understated way. More please! Author Reply: More coming, and a sequel, although I must admit I think I used up all my original ideas in this story Thanks for the support. Rose | |

| Hi, Rose! Glad to see you made it to this site! I'm reading Adagio again and enjoying it as much as the first time. Smooth Stone worn water is clearly mostly a nice guy. With an odd taste of pets, well, but afater all, he just want to care for something... look, now you have made me even sympathize with a Troll! The interaction of Aragorn with Legolas in te last chapter, when he told the elf of Gimlis supposed death, was grweat. It shows how well he knows the elf. And in this one, I liked the picure of Legolas first reaction to Glivers proposal. Both sides looked as if someone had placed a cooked egg under ther nose... did you mean "bad egg" here? Anyway, the picture is priceless! Just because Legolas is used to having Gimli ride behind him, it clearly does not meeans he favors *any* dwarf... yet. I love your story! Keep writing! Greetings to you, Aislynn | |

| Dawn broke red over the kingdom of Gondor, but after ninety-eight years of enforced peace and muscular justice, the day arrived now with no more portent than a certain promise of spring showers. Rose, in all our back and forth of this, have I ever made mention that this is one kick-butt opening line? I soooo wish I'd thought of it first. Really glad to see you here. This is truly a nice story and I am happy you found our own little corner of heaven. Lindorien Author Reply: Nice to hear from you too, thanks for all your support and thanks for the review,goodness knows why it took me so long to post here, wish I'd done it ages ago and I am feeling very welcome and at home now I have.

| What wonderful OCs you create. I think, oddly enough, that these cave trolls are my favorite. I feel so bad for Gleowyn but she's strong and is going to do much better than she would have if she had not been disillusioned. Author Reply: Well Gleowyn is one of those wonderful OC's who climbed out of the computer and walked around on top of the monitor until I had written her story the way SHE wanted it. Love her to bits even though she bullies me. I'm rather fond of my cave trolls as well, they were inspired by a comment from PJ on one of the DVD's where he wanted the troll to have a mother somewhere who would be sad when he didn't come home. I am glad you are enjoying the story but I expect you to stop reading now and hie yourself off to your own keyboard to write the follow up to Spring Awakenings. Off you go, shoo. Rose | |

| You update so quickly I don't have time to review some chapters! I feel a certain sympathy for the troll and his 'pets' - the poor thing only wants something to look after, and he's trying to give Gimli what he thinks he needs. Poor Legolas in the last chapter - I felt so sad for him! I like Gleowyn, and I'm glad her fiance has been found out. Jay Author Reply: Sorry about the wonky updates, RL is making my computer time a bit erratic. I am glad you are enjoying this story though. Rose | |

| Just thought I'd let you know I was reading and enjoying. ^^ Your OCs are wonderful, and the quick-moving plot has me craving more. Keep up the awesome work! Author Reply: Glad to have you along for the ride, it's a bit long, Adagio has two sequels the longer one is not finished yet but I am working on it! Thanks for the review. Rose | |

| You appear to be my favourite type of writer - one who updates regularly and quickly! I like the way Legolas and Aragorn steadfastly defend Gimli - I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of Legolas's glare. Things are becoming clearer now, and we know where Gimli went but not what happened to him or Gleowyn, or *why* the Woses are acting like this. BTW, you can respond to a review directly on this site. Log in, look at your reviews then, and you will see 'author reply' at the bottom of each. I speak as one who took two or three weeks to realise that! Jay Author Reply: Well this is a bit quicker than cutting and pasting in my mail reader, duh. I never thought to actually read from the page, and I found a review or two the bot had missed! Thanks for both your continuing support and your continuing great writing. Rose | |

| What a lovely tale! You've moved our friends forward in time very nicely, with an attention to detail that gives your story a lot of texture. Your use of OCs is exceptional. My heart is breaking for Gleowyn. My only suggestion is to be sure and use breaks in the text to indicate a change of scene. I look forward eagerly to the rest! Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you are enjoying the story. The text has been edited so much that I kinda don't see the errors any more so thanks for the heads up. Rose | |

| Oh, poor Gleowyn! I can see that Gimli is going to look after her, no doubt take her to Aglarond to work in the smithies, which will cause all the trouble. BTW, your story synopsis says 'complete'. It should be 'in progress', I take it? Jay | |
