Back again, gentle readers, and it's so good to see the few of you that remain to say hello. I honestly can't tell you how much it means to me. It's wonderful to know that you're still there and reading and that you care enough to pop in with a comment. Le Muse trembles with joy to be remembered so kindly. Glad you're enjoying our wayward

I have been reading your writing for years and it touches me deeply. It times when I felt completely misunderstood I could turn to your writing to help put my exactly yearning and feelings into such eloquent words. I cannot thank you enough. A new story from you was one of the best Christmas presents I could have received. I relate so much to Gwin and I just can’t say enough good about all of these characters.

Things I loved about this chapter:
-Gwin’s little proud and proprietary ‘my humans’: just awwwww
-All the references to your other works dotted around: Gwin’s perspective on the Watchman incident is hilarious ; Gwin finally getting to drink some thieved Dorwinion after all that time; the dramatic irony of Dev’s certainty that he won’t get an elvish spanking given ‘A Fresh Truth’ (not sure how that works chronologically but I’m rolling with it as it’s fun); and just that little beautiful phrase ‘wondrous indeed’ which will now make me shiver in whatever context I encounter it. Fabulously intertextual, this was

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! ANOTHER update???!!! The chocolate offerings must have worked!
Okay, some things I loved about this chapter:

1) The way we see inside Gwin’s mind (it’s so nice to get to know him better and understand how he thinks)

2) How you kept adding in snippets of your old stories (I love getting to hear more about them)!

3) How gentle the three “brothers” are with each other (awwwwww)!!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not stop updating!!!
I love your stories in ways I can’t explain.

Thanks so much, Larrkin!

PS: Le Muse, if you keep this up, there will be a mountain of chocolate waiting for you!!! :)

Oh man oh man Larrk this was stunning. I love the insight into Gwin‘s perspective and the intertextual references to other stories. This is really really great work and I do truly hope you continue to update.

Much love for you and your writings and the hope that Le Muse doesn’t leave us anytime soon!

Praises for you

I’ve been trying to hold off commenting until I got to the final completed chapter, so I could do an all encompassing review, but alas, I could not contain myself. This piece is so completely and utterly charming. I think I enjoy it so much because it showcases a completely different aspect of love. The more fraternal, ride-or-die best friends kind of love, and it’s relatable and recognizable and you write it so well. And, despite their, well, unconventional methods, I think our three adventurers are doing more good than harm with their little adventure, helping each other heal some long existing hurts. I’m so excited for the next chapter!

Ps: “he stole a heart instead.” Oh that one got me. It was simply too cute for words. I believe I have commented before about being a hopeless romantic, so my heart just melted. Gwin certainly is a favorite of mine and, abrasive exterior he may have, he truly is quite the sensitive little darling underneath it all.
