Beautiful! Simply beautiful. I love Imrazhor's words to her, his sweet offer to her! Thumb smiley face

What a great drabble Rous! You capture the weakness of men very well. I love the small twist of it, at first I think it is Isildur, but then like a small surprise it is a female's perspective! Thumb smiley face

Now that is an introduction. Cheeky, a bit naughty, subtle and I love the way how you explore your OC in such detail and in 100 words!

I remember reading in the appendices those lines a while ago. What a magnificent gapfiller here Space! I never encountered a story before that deals with this unwritten tale, but you kept me on the edge of the seat. Even more, now that I am reading the pieces in the appendices, I am amazed how you can take these words written by Tolkien and make Eärnur a living, ass-kicking king to me that fights himself to death. Your Witchking is just.... brrr, I know you state at the beginning of this short story that you don't have to read your Witchking story, but I do want to read it now!

An eerie and vailant story that had to be told. Excellent work!

Here You Cannot Leave Me · Mon Oct 10, 2005 7:32 am

Short and poignant. I love the cadence of this poem, every word carries so much grief and pain. It is almost like your Arwen cannot speak no more because the grief chokes her, why should you use more? Knowing and watching your loved one die is so had to catch in words: you succeeded in that! I would love to see more poetry coming from you.

Where did I put my pipe? · Mon Oct 10, 2005 5:30 am

LOL

Poor Gandalf. I can just picture him sitting there, being send outside the Last Homely House to smoke. A very vivid image Neniel!

Could Will Have Its Way · Mon Oct 10, 2005 3:13 am

It is just so sad and tragic, as Ellisk says above, that Denethor's grief made him wanting to cling onto stability, especially since Finduilas dead overwhelmed him. At least, for me, this shines through in what you wrote. Missing her, her being ripped away from he made grasp for a bit of certainty or control. But what could he see, he knew Finduilas went beyond the span or Arda, or maybe he did not wanted to listen to council. Would that have created the estranged relationship with Mithrandir? Very thought provoking and Bunny smiley face

creating Nancy!

This was one breathtaking short story. I remember straight away, who your Emmelin was, I actually find this so touching to see and read about her again. I love the way you weave angst with romance. The way you show us the kitchen, with bread in the ovens, dough in the bowls... I almost could taste the flavour of dough. This is something I always find back in your stories; the way you write makes it feel you are actually there.

I never thought of this:
Tears welled in Elrond’s eyes but he held them back, and paused to look out over the snowy terraces for a moment until he recovered his composure. To think that he would never hear her laughter again, or see that sparkle in her eyes – the Dark Lord could inflict no harsher punishment. Never to feel her touch, that could propel him into the grasp of ecstasy in but a moment – he closed his eyes and covered his face with his hand, stubbornly refusing to weep.

What an insight in Elrond Space.

This piece made me chuckle, gave me the good vibes of their union, but almost made me cry when Elrond mentioned Celebrian at the end and the manner on how Emmelin reacted on it.. she's so noble, I mean she could have slapped him, but instead she hung on to her dignity, but just the mention that she wept and Elrond could hear it... Very moving. A great piece of work and very very enjoyable!
