This story is impressive and moving. And should most definetely be accompanied with tissues. Fathers and daughters: aren't they always close? But this goes way deeper then this.

She lay open to the ravages of time, of weather and of men. Uncertainty seemed to waft on the wind with the first chills of night. Like the sands at the edge of the shore, nothing seemed to know when it would be upset or shifted, or what its future would hold.

My first chills. I could imagine Arwen standing there, the comparision with Middle Earth, her fate: just amazing.

Again Elrond nodded, and he headed down the hillside with her. Yet though their arms were linked, he was not wholly with her. The sense of him slipping from her grasp, as he was drawn to the Sea and she to Minas Tirith, made her hug him all the more.

This made my cry, I find it so amazing how you can translate this, well fact, into something Arwen can feel, and also make the reader feel it. There is hope, grief, smiles and tears. Arwen trying to remain strong, Elrond fighting against everything and yet longing to give into it. Majestic poetic prose. Thank you so much for sharing.

A cursed Sword · Wed Oct 05, 2005 4:36 pm

*snicker* Aragorn addicted to his sword. Or is he already slowly accepting his ultimate fate? A very subtle character growth here Vilwarin!

And So Does Trouble Cling (Drabble) · Wed Oct 05, 2005 4:34 pm

Ohhh Pippin's addition of being too curious for his own good. Very clever and well written Rous!

Without Her · Sat Oct 01, 2005 10:34 am

Very sweet and piognant Isil. Him missing her so much comes across very strongly, if a Lorien elf cannot be soothed by his very own world, then this loss is to great to make up for it. A great drabble!

Loss of a Name · Fri Sep 30, 2005 5:05 am

Awww this is very touching. A new name, a new beginning. It must have been very tough for Gilraen to let go if Aragorn's birth name. A beautiful drabble!

Downfall (Drabble) · Thu Sep 29, 2005 12:53 pm

I love the last line... a great drabble Rous, amazing to see it from a Vala's perspective!

Oh what a nice peek into the ranger's life, now bathing them can be as much as fun.... Smile smiley face

Sometimes poetry meets prose and in the darkest hours, there is light. Hurt can be healed by something so pure as love. In this beautiful and well paced story you convey so much with an incredible depth. Haldir tells her he will take care of her, but no line spoken by her because her actions do say so much. In this very beautiful and intimate moment, Haldir gave her something she craved for, maybe that part of humanity they took from her, or just to feel something like this again. And deep down, I think Haldir understands that. What a gem of a story Space.

Hopefully it was enjoyable to someone out there besides myself.

This is an understatement, I loved it. You capture the utter confusion of this kinslaying, how sad this might be, extremely well. The confusion, the why, it all comes from Nathriel. This vignette is a very well written gap-filler, especially when you read the Silmarillion and wonder why and how Elwing's sons ended up in the cave. Maedhros is just terryfing, is he not? Just turning his back to Nathriel while his men finish her off, for what? It makes me wonder if Maglor would allow such a thing, him being the most weary about it, I guess not. Especially since he did not kill the children. A great vignette Space!

The One That Got Away · Tue Sep 27, 2005 8:34 am

Very funny and hobbity. I can imagine the looks on their faces when 'She' got away. Short and to the point: a great drabble!
