Finally a fic that realistically deals with the rage and anguish Elladan and Elrohir must have felt. It was very well written and highly emotional. The twins were hovering on the edge of madness and letting their hate consume them. Glorfindel's actions were entirely warrented an appropriate. Him slappng one of the twins was the only way to get through to him, to start to crack the shell that they had surrounded themselves with. Bravo! Very well done!

I feel a little like I am going against the tide. I was excited when I saw the description of this story. I find myself in conflict with the relationships and actions within the story even though it is well written. I cannot imagine the twins being so disrepectful to Elrond. I also cannot imagine Elrond reluctant to set them straight and allowing Glorfindel to do it. Perhaps they needed the slap to be "snapped out of it" but at the same time, would they have snapped out of it so quickly?
I personally have portrayed the twins as scamps in two of my stories and less serious in another story (they are not the main characters) and I know that isn't accurate either so I hope I do not sound hypocritical here.
Of course, all of this is my opinion! I think your story telling and writing was wonderful. I am looking forward to reading more of your Glorfindel stories, I see he is a fave of yours! |

| I have read many fics about the twins and their avenging their mother's torment. This is probably the first one I have read that deals with the issue in depth (with no elleth involved!), besides bringing a whole new dimension to their avenging. After all, Tolkien never told us exactly what they did, and your portrayal of the twin's pain is absolutely fitting. |

Hmm, very intersting!
I love your storytelling, its very immersive and gripping! This is perhaps a tiny bit AU in the over impassioned/hasty actions of the characters but I can't help but like it! Whilst the characters actions can seem a bit over impassioned/hasty they are also truly quite fitting all things considered! |
