They won't give up, will they? They won't think "sometimes there's nothing we can do?", each of them seeks a solution in their own fashion. And I'm going to patiently wait to see what will happen next and what Elladan and Elrohir will come up with.

Beautiful, detailed descriptive parts, the style of story-telling that I've always admired and loved since the very first story by you I read. Thanks for the update, and keep posting Very Happy smiley face

So the idea worked! And they shocked everyone around, but yes, it worked. And after that action-packed and eventful chapter, you go with a quieter and heart-breaking one. It looks like some more problems got to be solved. Poor Elrohir though. Boys do need to cry sometimes. I would hug him if I could.

Wonderful read. I'm looking forward to more. Very Happy smiley face

apologies for not reviewing sooner - I'm reading along and enjoying this very much. I agree - it's good to see you writing elves (and 'half'-elves), especially my favorite guys.

Interesting perspective on Celebrian's rescue and on the other lives that were lost on that fateful journey. I enjoyed the character development especially of Elladan and Elrohir - who sometimes are kind of portrayed as being trapped in adolescence. They were brave elf lords themselves - and that comes through in how you characterize them. I look forward to more.

Ah, difficult choices ahead. It's good to see Celebrian slowly return to her previous life, though -- as Elrond already knew -- she will leave it all behind. A nice insight into his mind here Smile smiley face And of course, the twins: they have their load to deal with. Well done.

Thanks for the update! What a nice surprise this morning.

Fascinating story!

I've just read it all in one stretch and, on finishing chapter 10, have only one thing to say:

More, please!

This was a very beautiful chapter, but what I found the most touching was this line: "Galadriel replied over the carved wooden comb she still used some thousand and more years after he made it for her."

A very simple statement, but it said a lot about the relationship between Galadriel and Celeborn. Very moving.

Love it Smile smiley face Keep on writing, Dearest!

Oh, torture! I'm loving this, Neu. I'm so glad to see another chapter. I love the way you weave the little details into the story without missing a beat. Do you accept chocolate covered Elves as a bribe for more? *grins*

Ack! I can't believe I missed so many updates! *headdesk* Elrohir taking Elladan to the pools was such a touching scene. Having watched my twin girls, I can imagine how important it was for Elladan to be there for his brother. This is such a heart-wrenching story. I'm looking forward to more.

Ah Smile smiley face A new, interesting character on the stage to get "tangled in the web". The story behind Ninde is very intriguing. I loved the bits of humor and the glimpse at Celeborn's thoughts. Very well done! Looking forward to more Smile smiley face
