[nanuk_dain]

The story that goes with the last three manips, for those who are interested to know what situations they were inspired by.








-> The story was nominated for the MOME-Awards in the General Long Fiction - Tolkien category! Cool, I never thought I'd get nominated for such a thing ^_^

Title: In the Course of Time
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Pairing: Haldir/Éomer
Author: Nanuk Dain
e-mail: nanukdain@gmx.net
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: AU, first time, romance, angst, some violence
Word count: approx. 58.600
Series: followed by "In a Lifetime" http://nanuk-dain.livejournal.com/15525.html
Disclaimer: Not mine – otherwise Haldir would never have died and this would have been part of the movies...
Comment: I made up the parts that were not in the movies and the time after them; oh, and I didn't kill Háma, I needed him to live. I thank Meri for her permission to use an idea of hers that I can't explain here without telling you too much. This is my first Lotr fanfic, so please be gentle with me. Just to help, there is a key to the Elvish words at the end of the story (Part 7).
Summary: Take it Haldir did neither die nor get seriously injured in the Battle of Helm's Deep and joined the Men of Rohan with his Elven archers for the battle for Gondor. In Éomer, he finds a leader equally strong headed as he is himself.

Okay, so my webspace shut down and I don't have new webspace yet, so I had to improvise. Lj doesn't do really long posts (such as the 58.600 words of this story XD), so I had to split it in Lj-compatible parts. These are NOT parts according to content, the story is not meant to be read in parts, I created them only due to the word limit of Lj. In this post you'll find the links to all seven parts, just to make it easier for you to find them (I arranged it so that when you're on the entry of a part, clicking "next entry" on top of th page will bring you to the following part). Oh, and the story is at my beta at the moment, so this is still the unbeta'ed version (the beta might still take a while, so I hope you can live with this one for now ^_^). Well then, enough of my rambling. Enjoy!

Hahaha, look at this: http://community.livejournal.com/ardaslash/371714.html

I couldn't resist, I just had to use your beautiful banners ^___^ And my index posts for both stories carry the banners over the header! I was a busy bee. And you're amazing (now it's me repeating myself...)

Ok, this was just a random short I-want-to-show-off-what-I-got post. You may ignore it XD

Oh, as for the PDFs, I'll leave for my parents tomorrow, but I'll take the files on a USB stick with me so - in case you want the stories - I can send then from my mum's computer. ^_^

*grins* I'm really glad you like them that much, Sweetie, so no need to thank me or anything. It was my pleasure (believe me, it's true! <3) ^^ Also, feel free to do anything you want with them :3
Really, those stories deserve their banners <3 It's been long time since I've read any GOOD LotR stories, so I had to commemorate it ;)

I always look for character development in the stories, so I wasn't complaining, believe me :3 But the joicy scenes were very nice, too ;3 And no, they weren't plot-heave at all, I think. Maybe a little at first at the beginning of the first story, but later it just got better and better! I've read everything at once, because I'd not survive a break from reading without knowing what happens next XD

Well, I've never had any special feelings for Éowyn. She was just there and that's it. She had my respect for being very strong female character (we definitely need more of those), fighting for Rohan and being kickass, but she never really got to me in "I like her" way. But she's not the only one XD I could list more characters who are also like that for me.
While watching and reading LotR I was wishing for one thing - more of Galadriel. She always will be my favourite female character from LotR, no matter what, and also one of my favourite fantasy female characters at all XD So I'm glad about her appearance in the fanfic ;) It made me happy ^^

YAY FOR THE MUMMY FANFIC! I'd love to have PDFs <333333 (And yes, the manip made me VERY curious XDDD)

Just send the stories! I'm off packing an hurrying to my train, now... Sorry, I'll reply later ^___^ *runs*
