Not an easy read, this one - sorry.

Amazing. Abolsutly incredible!

[narya_flame]

Thank you <3

[spiced_wine]

It wasn’t easy, no, but it was perfect!

[narya_flame]

Aww, that's so kind. I'm sure it isn't perfect but it was the best I can do for now.

[spiced_wine]

Yes, it was, the pacing was perfect, and things had seemed balanced in a kind of peace, so it was time to tip that, I think.

[narya_flame]

Oh yes. Happiness isn't interesting unless you threaten it!

[spiced_wine]

Hah, that’s true, as I said on Discord, the French say ‘happiness has no story’. Lovely to live it for a time, though. But when it comes to writing, you have to what was it, put your characters in a tree and then throw rocks at them! LOL. This was a bombardment of rocks!

[narya_flame]

I did warn you :D

[spiced_wine]

You did warn me! :D

It wasn't an easy read, but it was still a good read. My eyes misted at the end scene with Maglor being, well... himself.

[narya_flame]

Aww. I was sobbing writing it, I have to admit.

[ex_flameandsong751]

I would have been too! I've written scenes that make me cry (I will be writing more scenes that make me cry, sigh). That's how you know you nailed it, though, if it makes you feel. <3

[narya_flame]

I hope I nailed it, because it was exhausting - but people seem to like it. Well, like is probably not the right word. It seems to have spoken to people? (I'm not sure that's any better...I'm tired, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!)

[hhimring]

Oh.
Oh, Theo. Oh, Claire. Oh, Maglor.

[narya_flame]

I know :(
