Ah, I like this, Aearwen! Celeborn deserves to be among trees that refresh his spirit, and I'm glad Thranduil found him and is eager to offer his friendship and enjoy his company.
Though I wish you hadn't written such a harsh fate for Elladan and Elrohir.... my heart broke for both of them! Is Elrohir's mortal death what Gandalf and he spoke of in Elladaniel? I was afraid it was something like that....
Anyway, I always enjoy your stories very much.... (That's a dignified variant of "plz rite more!)
Well done! Thank you!

| This isn't a part of my IDD!verse - of which "Light Fingers" and "Elladaniel" are a part of, as is "In The House of Elrond" - so no, Elrohir's fate isn't what Gandalf was talking about at the end of "Elladaniel". You're close, but still off a bit. This is a one-shot, exploring what I would like to think of as two of the more stubborn Elves continuing to refuse to heed the Valar's call to sail, setting forth a possibility that they're both still around somewhere - in plain sight, but their true natures nicely camouflaged. Glad you liked this one. Thanks for writing. |

Of *course*! They're the same size, so they'll enjoy the same music...... *snerk*
I got a big grin out of this!

um... doesn't that make sense? ...in some kind of fashion? LOL!!
Yeah. I'm glad you 'get' her cluelessness about the other races, and especially glad you enjoyed it.
As always, I appreciate the comments. |

Ah, so Inzilanî has settled in comfortably with the Elves.... good! And now she even knows how Elves celebrate! And she and Bronamar have reached a comfort level that they can tease each other.
This was a really interesting story, Aearwen. I honestly never knew what to expect next... which is as it should be, for a story whose theme is cultural misunderstandings.
Very nicely done! Thank you for sharing it with us....

Awwwwwwwwwww..... my little heart goes pitty-pat at the cute kitty.....
But not at the very uncute child-raising practices....
(I really don't think Galion is as cynical as he wants the world to believe, either.)
Lovely vignette, Jael!

How intriguing! Yes, I can see where these truly strange, flame-eyed warriors would be a puzzle! Looking forward to seeing where you take this story....

| Oh, they're more than a puzzle. She's been told all kinds of things about these creatures ever since she was a child; reality is going to be quite unexpected. I'm glad you're enjoying this. |

Oh, I can't wait to see how things go with Inglor and Haleth again!
He seems to have learned to deal with her quirks rather well -- at least sometimes -- and she seems to have mellowed a bit, too.
Just a *tiny* bit, mind you! LOL!
I'm always glad to see an Inglor and Haleth adventure... and can't wait to see what they get up to now!

Thank-you! It's been so long since I've posted any substansive stories about these two characters that I wasn't sure that anyone would remember or care about them.
He seems to have learned to deal with her quirks rather well Sort of. Inglor shares two and a half languages with Haleth, but he comes from an entirely different culture. When she asks him a sacrastic, hypothetical questions, he would answer her honestly and then get smacked upside the head for his trouble. In the interest of self-preservation, he's gradually learning mortal-style tact.
As an aside, in the modern world I'd never, ever ask Inglor whether or not a piece of clothing made me look fat because he'd tell me and then I'd be offended.
Thanks for reviewing.

Yes, it is very, very clear how much empathy you have for Thranduil. And Galion, as well.
Very thoughtful and thought-provoking story, Jael... and I really like how you pick out some of the most telling quotes tucked away in dusty corners of Tolkien's works....
Very nicely done!

P.S. Helegui looks like Trouble.... does he not approve of Lalaithiel's Silvan roots? (or Avari? forgot which....)

| Helegui does not approve of Thranduil or anything he does, and that includes his choice of wife. More about that in the next and final chapter. I'm glad you are enjoying this. |

Oh, my Jael!
That quote has to be one of the most heart-wrenching ones in Tolkien's works... and you honored its spirit well.
I was in tears over Galion's reunion with his distraught wife, acting strong for her, when his heart was just as broken... but, in battle, he probably never even got the chance to grieve properly himself. Your Galion has become such a real character to me... (not to neglect your Thranduil, but afaik no one has ever fleshed out Galion as you have, and he's one of my favorite OCs... right up there with Isabeau's Andrahar, which is saying a lot!)
(Hmmm, come to think of it, he's probably more like Isabeau's Imrahil, since he's a minor canon character that you have fleshed out magnificently....)
Anyway, will stop burbling now... looking forward to where you take this story!

This is going to sound a bit nutty, but Galion fleshed himself out. I used him at first because he is the only Mirkwood elf ever to have a name other than the two royals, and I started out using him as a figure of fun. But he absolutely refused to lie down and behave -- he insisted on having his say -- and now I think I like him as well as I like Thranduil. And we all know how well I like Thranduil.  |
