Well done!

Thank you.

“Ornedil might have the mind of a child, but he has the heart of a hero.”

What a wonderful observation of this good-hearted child-man. I like this story very much, Linda, and Thorongil's solution will benefit everyone.

That last line killed me, too ^_^

[lindahoyland]

Thank you so much. I was fearful you might not like this one as it is dark in places but am glad it worked for you.

[amethyst_witch]

WOW!!

Linda, I punched the desk TWICE reading this, and then cried at the end. This was a wonderful read from start to finish.
One of my Top 5 Faves so far. I actually read it aloud to Scott here just now and he really loved it, too ^_^

[lindahoyland]

Thank you so much. I'm delighted you enjoyed this and Scott too.I enjoyed writing about Aragorn punching the would be rapist... Which were your other favourites?

[amethyst_witch]

He deserved it and much worse. To do that (or try) to a woman...and with her child in the next room! :(
*blood boils*
Thank Gaia for the good men of the world <3

Oh that's tough--I've enjoyed them all! But if I must choose, my first favourite is The Pied Piper of Gondor ^_^
Then, Of Seas and Sheep and Nightmares and Farewell to Gondor are tied for second! I think third would have to be At the Sign of the Great Whale <3 OH and don't forget The Thief! LOVED that one <3 Made me cry.

*hugs*
:)

[lindahoyland]

Thank you, hugs back. I might put up a poll next week to see what others liked.

Sidenote: I wish I could work in the House of Healing!!

So excellent!!! Ha, good to see Thorongil punch rapist scum in the face, and huzzah for courageous Ornedil, who may turn out to be a more effective bodyguard than anyone - even Thorongil - might expect. Somebody ought to give him some proper lessons with that wooden sword, or better still, with a staff - he's tall and strong; he'd be good with a staff, once he got the hang of it.

Thank you so much. I enjoy writing Thorongil punch the would be rapist. I'm sure Ecthelion will listen to Thorongil's suggestions for suitable punishment. A wooden staff would be a great weapon for Ornedil.
