First of all, I love this idea. The way Elrond and Earendil's reactions mirror each other is very nicely done and the whole story in fact is very sweet. I actually thought Celebrian and Elwing were both very patient in fact with their respective husbands. I don't think, if I'd just had twins, I'd be so willing to let them joke with me Twisted Evil smiley face

The transitions from Earendil's scene to Elrond's make sense and you get the point across nicely. My only nit-pick, and it is a small one compared to how much I enjoyed this story, is that the first section with Earendil struck me as a bit modern in tone, in terms of the dialogue. I think it was the word 'medication' that actually was the root of it. That didn't sound very Elven to me. But as I said, that was a very small thing. Otherwise I thought this was a very cute piece, and I'm very interested now to see what else you've written here. Very Happy smiley face

"At that moment, the babies started wailing, and didn't stop for nearly five hundred years." Uh huh. Now, that lifespan-as-long-as-Arda thing looks somewhat less appealing, don't it? lol I thought this piece was very funny. Earendil was a bit of a jerk in the opening scene, but it wasn't too much to take, and his harrowed-dad routine in the second scene redeemed him a bit. The cyclical kick at the end was a pleasant surprise, too. I enjoyed it thoroughly! (This bit of concrit has nothing to do with the story, and you can disregard it if you wish: I think most people define "drabble" as a scene that has only 100 words. This piece is somewhat longer, so perhaps "short fic" would better describe it in the summary. Also, why is it classified as AU? It could easily fit into Lotr or even Silm, I think.)

Kuddos lady!

As a mother of twins I know how "fun" it can be, I also clearly remember the moment the doctor said, "there are two" and the look on my husband's face LOL I can SO clearly see Earendil and Elrond mwahahahahaha.

Lovely fic.

Huggles,

Snort...can I dedicate this fic to Kenny and Hank? Razz smiley face

Awesome...and snort again...Earendil-do's experiences as a father of twins, and how Elrond had been as a child always is a source of amusement for me... Very Happy smiley face

I thought it was nice the way the circle is completed.

This was just delightful. I very much like the full circle you turned. I do agree that the dialogue was a little off in the first section, but it was still funny. However, a drabble is only one hundred words. I would just change the summary. This was well worth the sojourn into the story of the day. Thank you, so much, for sharing. Drunk smiley face

I just ran accross this fic, and I'm so glad I stopped to read it! ROFL smiley face

I love it. I could see my husband there so easily (especially since he tried to curse me with octuplets when I got pregnant with our son. I was so glad to find out that there was only one baby!)
