He’d ventured into the little fishing village in search of food and maybe a dry place to sleep for a night of rain and wind—he hadn’t expected this, to be bullied into a hot meal and a healer’s attention.
Tuor and Elwing’s recreational sailing excursion goes terribly awry when a carnivorous siren casts her gaze upon their vessel. With her song, she enchants the mariners and boards with evil intent. She kills and eats their crewman, she demands Tuor’s hand in marriage, and for dessert…
The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies mark perhaps the most influential events in the history of the Tolkien fanfiction fandom. As the Rings of Power show approaches its third season, data from the Tolkien Fanfiction Survey shows that it is not even close to matching the impact of the films ... yet.

I just wanted to leave a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed this story. The romantic angle is beautiful, but your political and cultural subplots were intriguing as well. Thanks for sharing this! :)
If I have reviewed this somewhere else forgive me for repeating myself. I really love this story. Also, just wanted to let you know I borrowed a bit of your younger Elrond's personality for a ficlet I posted here (of course I mized it all up and for my own wicked purposes--please forgive me). It is a chapter (8-Forbidden Lore) in my drabble/ficket series here "It Gives A Lovely Light."
No, I don't think you've reviewed it before... thank you so much for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I read the ficlet and see the resemblance in the paragraph about him and Elros, yes. The interaction with Gil-galad was your own *smiles*. I've only written them together once, and I struggled - though I really should look through the rules and see if I could post that here. It goes from First Age through to Valinor.
Thank you, my dear, you've paid me a lovely compliment. I must go and read the rest of your series now.
I loved this story! I thought it was really great how you put in a lot of detail about culture and historical events as well as romance (though the romance was really great XD). The various forms of narration were very effective, too.
Oh wow, thank you so much for the lovely review :) This was a birthday gift originally, and was a projection of what might have happened during that final day to the people I'd been writing about in Even Quicker than Doubt -- sort of a spin off, I guess (Doubt is set at the beginning of the second age) I'm specially glad you enjoyed the historical and cultural background, because I like playing with those themes.
