| Excellent story. Beautiful characterization of Elrond and the twins. I am glad to see you wrote about Aragorn's early years in Rivendell, which I always enjoy reading about. I can only hope there will be more to come later. |

| I've been reading Tolkien fanfiction for a long time, and I've read some good pieces. But it always wallops me to read something like this, a hidden, even secret, treasure. I saw it listed on Sindhote's recommendations list and thought, well, why not. I'm so glad. This story, more than any other, has given Gilraen a voice. Her eyes seeing Rivendell *make* it a magical place; her heart seeing Elrond and his sons make Elrond's relationship with Estel even more keenly bittersweet. Estel truly is the hope for all, not just his own people. And throughout, the sense of sacrifice on Gilraen's part pervaded. She did indeed give so much hope that she kept none for herself. What a heroine. And what a story, to have captured her essence so beautifully. Thank you. |

| Wonderful story. I truely enjoyed how you portrayed Elrond, Gilraen, and Estel. That you showed the culture clashes between elves and men rocks my socks. Great job! |
