more re-born? Oh, Valar. Hopefully the wedding is coming soon. The gods must put forth all their power to protect the city with Glorfindel and Co. on the run. Another more then entertaining chapter. Thank you. Lai

LOL - It's always a plan with these ellons, but the twist at the end with ranks being pulled...oh the possibilities of ellons running wild abound. Fun, as always! - Erulisse (one L)

Grins. Oh, this is gonna be good. Add two more re-born to the mix, and a haryon to the Ingaran who can *get* his way, and the conspiracy is going to go great! (and probably get into a good deal of trouble on the way...*grin*) It was very nice to see Intarion again. I always felt bad for Alassiel, who had barely known her atar. Well, I'm going to sit back, and wait for the mischief to begin! Wonderful as always!

Fantasia · 17 August 2011 · Chapter 11: In Which Cousins Arrive and There is Further Plotting

Fiondil I'm so happy with this chapter, to see all of them together, having fun, planing a wedding, being young. I'm happy to see Ingalaurë and Intarion reborn, alive. I can read IDB without too much angst. Thank you.

Oh, Atar help us! Three Re-born, four if you count Finderato, running about Tirion with minimal supervision and Glorfindel is one of them? Will Tirion still be standing by the time of the wedding? Will Aman survive? Tune in next Wednesday for the next thrilling installment! I hope Ingwion does not upset too many people when he puts his plan into motion, though depending on the complexety of the music I don't think it should take too long! Huggs, Lynda

MORE!!. You adding more mischief to mayhem!! Flying fish maybe the least of the problem by the time this is over. LOL. Well, although I'm absolutely loving this story and Wednesday is turning out to be the favorite day of my work week. I think you may want to find a nice corner to "Duck & cover". Enjoyable as always.

Soooooo, i wonder how Finrod will be passing the time tonight? *grin*

Tari · 12 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

So Arafinwë and Eärwen turned the tables on whoever tried to cause more trouble for Finrod and Glorfindel. Good for them. Whether or not it will deter any futer incidents like this remains to be seen.

Can I have that fountain in my garden? Glorfindel can go fishing for me any time.I love the fish on his headhe!he!LOl Galathil

Hmmm. "Spoke with the King last night - it really sounds as f this emergency did not come as a surprise to Masrilla. That just makes me even more suspicious about just who she is. So was Carnimir instructed to dawdle and gossip with the fish seller to create a small emergency with the ingredients, or was that all his own idea? Trust Glorfy to go fishing in a fountain and come out of it with something bigger than koi or goldfish!! As for recipes - if you are going to do a "cookbook" perhaps this will give some inspiration: (Language warning, and don't eat or drink while reading) http://docs8.chomikuj.pl/359109303,0,0,Ringo-John---Roast-Suckling-Damnbeast.pdf

Fantasia · 10 August 2011 · Chapter 10: In Which a Menu is Discussed and Glorfindel Goes Fishing

You made me hungry, and it is too early to eat here in California and I'm at work! what a great menu, and they say that it is a simple one. Now I wish that I can make Salomene and Venison custard. I like that this chapeter has less drama. Love Glorfindel call for help and how much he is loved by the Valars, that even Ulmo will provide fish for him.

6336 · 10 August 2011 · Chapter 10: In Which a Menu is Discussed and Glorfindel Goes Fishing

O Kay, just what is Atar Arafinwe up to? Could Amarie be coming a little early by chance? By the way how are Finderato's wedding clothes coming along? I always knew Ulmo had a weird sense of humor, bless the wily old Valar for getting Glorfindel his fish! Huggs, Lynda

***snort*** Fiondil, you are going to have to give warnings at the beginning of your chapters, I just snorted tea up my nose from trying to drink and laugh at the same time Thank you for the lovely interlude. Glorifindal is such interesting character. showing humility, humor and impatience. very lovely soul. PS, the menu sounds lovely, you're going to have to include recipes.

Erulisse (one L) · 10 August 2011 · Chapter 10: In Which a Menu is Discussed and Glorfindel Goes Fishing

Oh, the morning vision of the plaza being pelted with fresh-water fish and the final indignity of the one on Glorfindel's head. Lovely. But lovelier still was Glorfindel's generosity and greatness of heart coming through when he made sure that the elleth had enough fish for her special meal. It is that aspect of your Glorfindel that makes everyone want to make sure of his success and happiness. A very nice bridging chapter. - Erulisse (one L)

Tari · 9 August 2011 · Chapter 8: In Which There is Rebellion in the Ranks and a Trial is Held

Three cheers for Lord Namo. It's just sad that it took his intervention to bring the two ellon back together. I think the rest of their punishemnt will pass in a much more pleasant manner.

Tari · 5 August 2011 · Chapter 7: In Which the Palace Gets a New Head Cook and Finrod Gets a New Title

I like Mistress Marilla already. It would serve Isildil right if she were made permanent Head Cook. I'll bet she could think of lots of "good" jobs for the arogant jerk to perfom. Bassoneth Finrod definitely has a nice ring to it. LOL

tkid · 4 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

And I wouldn't be surprised if Amarië staged her own little rebellion. She did it once before, she can do it again. If anything tips Amarië over the edge it'll be the wedding outfits with their lovely shades of pink and green. Oh yes. They'd tip me over the edge. I can't wait until she arrives - the dynamic between her and Finrod, combined with one Balrog slayer, should a lot of fun to watch.

Erulisse (one L) · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

I just had to take time out of an overly-busy day to read this, I've been enjoying this tale so very much. I have to agree, most potato soup is quite bland (my mother's recipie, which uses mushrooms, has a bit more spice to it). Some pepper sauce could go quite well, and apparently the King and Queen agree. Good for everyone for holding their tongues. The culprits will out in the end. It is an interesting thought that Amarie is getting as much input into the wedding as Finrod has been, namely - none. I think that's a shame. But knowing how overbearing her amme is, it is not surprising. I wonder it she might stage her own little revolution... Have as delightful a day as you've just provided for me :-) - Erulisse (one L)

6336 · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

I am not fond of spicy things myself, though I do make a mean Chili, just not too hot! I was pleased to note that Glorfindel knows the correct way to cool his mouth with a peice of bread. At least Alilinel is up to the tricks that the other apprentices are playing and Arafinwe and Earwen liked the soup! Finrod is still having issues with the wedding and I am sure Amarie is too, but he does have at least one person on his side in the guise of the elleth,I for get her name, who is is charge of decorations! Glorfindel is still the equivalent of a 15 to 16 year old boy, he can be very serious one minute and very immature the next. Give him a couple of Yen and he will grow out of it, I just hope Aman will survive in the mean time! Huggs, Lynda

Tkid · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

I can't see Finrod remaining apathetic regarding the wedding for long. If there is another incident, and if Amarie goes along with it, I can see an elopement in the future.

Sunny · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

Eärwen's reaction, "Oh! Finally someone figured out the proper way to make potato soup", was not the result the apprentice who "spiced up" the soup had intended, I would think. :-D I am sure the soup was tasty - I am fond of, ahem, well-spiced food myself! ;-)

Shemyaza · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

I can see how frustrated Finrod must feel about everything. He is not as newly reborn as Glorfindel and has attained some measure of adulthood, certainly enough to actually marry and produce progeny of his own. Arafinwe and Earwen tend to baby him a little I think, but I can understand their anxieties especially when he and Glorfindel show their immature side when trying to deal with a perceived problem. However I honestly don't think that either of his parents or the people around them even consider what he went through in Middle-earth. He was a King in his own right and he sacrificed himself for a secondborn which was a noble thing to do. He died in a most horrendous way. I know that his parents must know the gory details, but you would surely think that they would take all of that into consideration with him now! He deserves to be allowed to grow up to some degree at least even if that doesn't include him getting a say in his own wedding arrangements. Let's face it most men run a mile from getting involved and everyone expects them to do that so I suppose that it's par for the course that Earwen and the mother of the bride are blithely going on with everyone without bothering to consult the two people who are getting married. Almariel obviously because she doesn't think her daughter needs to know! I am waiting for the arguments over the seating plan to erupt, that would be a funny scene to contemplate. With a bit of luck they won't serve the super-spiced potato soup to the wedding guests, although I guess the Teleri contingent would be overjoyed. I wonder if they would like Indian curry?

Malice2 · 3 August 2011 · Chapter 9: In Which Apologies are Tendered and Glorfindel Saves the Soup

At first I was like "But why are they so mean?" Really, can you get more immature than these people in the kitchen?... But then in the end I was wondering "how can they be so unprofessional?" I mean, it's one stupid thing to antagonize 2 important people who are close to the king. It's another entirely to spoil the dinner of your king when you want to become a professional cook. It's not the kind of thing that could get you punished, I think, but more something that could get you fired outright if you're not careful. On another note, though Arafinwë's punishment of Finrod and Glorfindel seems quite justified, he didn't quite answer Glorfindel's opinion that, out of respect for Finrod, the prince should be able to make decisions regarding his own life... Nice and funny story, I love it.

tkid · 29 July 2011 · Chapter 8: In Which There is Rebellion in the Ranks and a Trial is Held

I have just begun reading Elf, Interrupted: Book Two, and I think I can guess who the new head cook is. This wedding is going to get more and more interesting, I think. *laughs and laughs*

Tari · 29 July 2011 · Chapter 5: In Which Finrod Visits the Royal Kitchens and an Epic Battle Ensues

This just goes to show that having a mock battle is not always a good idea. Poor Vondo; a flash back is not what he needed.
