Shocked smiley face Saruman's five *snicker* I just can see that last line being spoken, actually, this whole drabble is such a visual that it is very easy to imagine how this looked like.

‘You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!’

Priceless Space! Thanks!

The ice had turned the branches of the forest to delicate glass. Unnaturally still, the trees reached out their dark fingers and sought to touch each other above the path, while the snow painted everything a heartless white.

And there I went... pulled in this short story within a minute, like if you pulled me into that world. That is something Space, that always keeps on overwhelming me (in the most positive sense) all the time. It is this style of writing, the flow, the chosen words, the potrayal of the characters and world that is simply amazing. Your pacing is fab. Just when I thought oh maybe she will touch upon this... and wow, you did. Your writing is in that respect natural, it flows and yet so surprising. Little is known about Oropher and where he came from, but this is just an amazing piece of work. I hope a simple thank you will do.

Powerful, like Sulriel said. Well put and your exploration of the effects of Elven Death is well explored. Your OFC is not rational enough to know she will meet her kin again in the Halls of Mandos, but well who would think of that when this kind of news is delivered?

Oh wow... let me gather my thoughts first. What a chapter. I love the insight in Laureanna's childhood, her quick silverness and ability to learn so fast, only to be bribed with feeding ducks: it makes her such a wonderful child. Her teasing of Rúmil is priceless. Ah and once again you show us readers what a beatiful couple Glorfindel and Indil are. Owww and Elrohir and Laureanna.. what a couple, even under these dire circumstances they are so attracted towards each other that it must be so hard for her not to give herself to him completely. The fragment with Celebrimbor is truly scary... knowing what became of him and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain.. a part that chilled me to the bone. You written so many things in this chapter alone, yet it felt like it was too short. What a chapter and well written Thumb smiley face

Oh Lady Aranel, what a promising start! With a few words, you draw my full attention to the Haradrim ladies entering, just as Legolas' eyes find them.

For example: Fifteen Haradrim women entered the room, nay, they glided across it.

Just this description alone made me go like: this is going to be exciting. Short, simple and very effective. Well done! Thumb smiley face

Very bittersweet and you capture his emotions extremely well. The loss and despair, then the determination not to be bested. Well done! Thumb smiley face

Wow Space! Amazing! Morgoth's crown, the pain he has to endure because of the Silmarils in it. All those small details: a great picture you are giving us. Dark, gloomy and brooding: what an amazing drabble about this fallen Valar. Thumb smiley face

I am with Sulriel on this one. I at first thought: Gilraen! But then it could be any leader of an Edain house for that matter what makes this drabble a nice one Smile smiley face So much meaning, but also a bit of freedom for the reader to decide who is cradled in the arms of his mother! Thumb smiley face

What an interesting choice and well drabbled. Your drabble carries so much weight and also about a decision one makes to come this far and accept the ring that, in the end, would be his demise. Well thought out and written!
