Ha, ha ... still chuckling about Rauros! Wicked, wicked thought.
I also really liked the piece about Eorl. A most noble response to a petty act of alienating condescension.

I enjoy drabbles so much - every word counts in painting a complete picture of characters and thoughts/actions. I enjoyed all of these, but I think "Entwining Fates" was my favorite, especially the sentence, "Or to welcome death with open arms, as hope for a new beginning?" I always liked to think of Arwen being more aware and accepting of her fate than Tolkien seems to paint her.
I think I like "A Hallowed Place" next, as it highlights the nobility inherent in Eorl's people. They may not be as "cultured" as the Gondorians, but their fine quality is brought out by Eorl's ready forgiveness here. And I don't think it has to be considered truly AU - as you noted, pettiness could have played a part in the decision, even as the "official" reason was put down in the history books.
And I laughed very hard at your AU "Boromir!lives (very briefly)" drabble! Thanks for sharing!

I loved "Don't be deceived" - Bard and the Dale-folk are somewhat underused in Tolkien fanfic; and this reminder of Gandalf's connection to them is overdue. Plus, Aragorn as a tired, complaining young man is priceless, as is Gandalf's "Come along, Estel. Don't dawdle".

I tried to send this email, but it didn't go through; not sure why, since I was just replying to your earlier email.
Hi, Imhiriel,
Just dropping by to say that I did read your drabbles and enjoyed them, but haven't had time for proper feedback because of work/deadline issues.
I'll be back in town next week and will get back to you then.
Thanks for sending this link!
Amy

I wanted to add some words about your two newest ones...
Taking Roots: I have to admit, it was hard to get my mind around the idea of a less-than-supremely-confident Galadriel! But Celeborn would see her thus if anyone would, and their interaction and the portrayal of the beginning of Lorien was very nicely done.
On the Fair Hill: Loved, loved, loved this one. Such beautiful, clear imagery - I could picture the scene perfectly.
Thanks for sharing more with us!

I like the new drabbles, especially "the Scent Lingers." Had to think for a bit before I could figure out who the actors were. Ioreth and Aragorn?
