Hello,
This is my favourite of your Lothiriel and Eomer stories, because it follows them after their marriage, as they get to know each other and she settles into life and being Queen. I suppose because it's about her real life, after the happily ever after.
Thanks for the stories,
AndreaH
PS I am also enjoying Tides of Destiny very much!

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for your comment – Bound by Duty is the only story so far that follows Éomer and Lothíriel after their marriage – since they did not really meet until the day before it sort of had to! 
But if you keep with me until Part 3 of Tide of Destiny then that will be a flit through Lothíriel's life as Queen – right up to the end. Glad you are enjoying it. LBJ

I think this a great fleshing out of the classic Tolkien habit of writing a throwaway line about someone's wife. How you followed their relationship from political marriage and showing how it evolved into something more was just about as perfect as I've ever seen it written. And I really like how it all came from Lothiriel's perspective, rather than trying to keep switching between the two. Seriously, fantastic job!
