| Darned right, Aragorn better stay arround awhile and wait for the twins. Now doesn't he feel better that he made his way back home. Author Reply: Oh he does... for now. The twin meeting is written, but it may not play out as others expect it to play out. ;P | |

| That was beautifully done, Laire. You are absolutely right, Elrond never stopped loving Aragorn. I so wish we had more words spoken between them on this matter in canon, but the unsupportive, bullying Elrond we see in the films is certainly not Tolkien's Elrond. Author Reply: Thank you very much. Don't remind me about movie!Elrond; he depresses me quite often in his treatment to Aragorn and his manipulation of Arwen. Frankly put, that is *not* Elrond. One can only hope that Thranduil is not butchered in such a way. | |

| Another very moving vignette, Lairė. Aragorn was very lucky in having such a caring and wise person as Elrond as foster father. Author Reply: I agree completely; goodness, I imagine that quite a few people would not mind having Elrond as a father-figure. He is an amazing character. | |

| Love the reassurance! Am so glad he had Elrond as his foster father. The best he could have, having been robbed of his own father by the orcs. Author Reply: I know- Elrond is such an amazing character. He is still so loving, even after all that he has lost. Bless him. | |

| This is such a powerful piece. I had tears in my eyes. I am glad that you did not cut it down to fit an arbitery word length. In fact you could easily expand this even further. Author Reply: Oh my! I am touched that you were touched like that. It indeed can easily be expanded, and I do think I would like to write about his and the twins' reunion, at the least. | |

| Absolutely canon, and wistfully lovely. I even believe I remember a place where Elrond says something to the effect that by his sacrifice of his daughter the world of men will be enriched. It has been too long since I have read much in LOTR. Still, I can not believe that a loving Creator would allow any of his beloved children to be lost or wasted. I very much believe that there will be reunions beyond the circles of this world! Author Reply: Oh, really? I am rereading LOTR and haven't come yet across that line... but it is true, is it not? She is a wonder, after all, and not only for her beauty. And I completely agree with you; I think that they all were reunited once more. Perhaps I'll write about that sometime :) Thanks for the review! | |
